A HEBREWS SEARCH FOR THE BLOOD
OF ATONEMENT

In the spring of1sss, was holding some Cos
pei meetings in San Francisco and several times
addressed the Jews attending Mission to Israel.
On one occasion, having concluded my discourse,
the meeting was thrown open for discussion with
any Hebrews who desired to ask questions or
state difficulties also for any who had been
brought to Christ to relate their conversions.
The experience of old Jew interested me
greatly and as nearly as can give his remarks
in his words, though not attempting to pre-
serve the inimitable Hebrew English dialect.
He said, This is Passover week among you,
my Jewish brethren. and l sat here I was
thinking how you will be observing it. You will
have put away all leaven from your houses; you
will eat the 'motsah' (unIeavened wafers) and the
roasted lamb. You will attend the synagogue ser
vices and carry out the ritual and directions of the
Talmud; but you forget my brethren that you
have everything but that which Jehovah required
first of all He did not say, When see the leaven
put away, or when you eat the motash
the lamb, go to the synagogue, but His word
was, When l see the blood will pass over you.
All. my brethren, you substitute nothing for
this You must have blood blood, BLOOD!"

God was angry with His people. Jerusalem was
in the hands of the Gentiles, the temple was de-
stroyed. and Mohammedan mosque was reared
up in its place. The only spot on earth where
we dare shed the blood of sacrifice in accordance
with Deuteronomy xii and Levitcus xvii. was
desecrated, and our nation scattered. That
why there was no blood. God had Himself closed

were young men who spent their
evenings on the streets, and in
saloons. Before he realized it, he
found himself one Sunday morning
sitting in a saloon, about to drink
a glass of beer, when a church bell
rang for morning service. He
stopped and thought of the place
he was in, and his sins; of his
home, and how his mothers heart
would be broken if she knew
where he was; how he ought to be
a Christian, and he resolved he
would. He rose, leaving the beer
untouched, and said to his com

place, and live a Christian life"
inviting them to join him. They
laughed, and drank to his health
as he left them. He went to his
room, got out his Bible, and on his
