THE DAY OF ATONEMENT

IL, until sunset on Wednesday, De-
tober II the Jewish people every
where gathered fer the observance
of Yom Ripper in their several places
of worship and there, in meditation
and prayer, forgetful of the outside
would rivive their confidence in the
eternal triumph OF Gods love and JUS
tice, and the brotherhood of man.
The Day of Atonement, known as
Yom Ripper in Hebrew, is mentioned
in the Bible. In the book of Leviticus,
chapter 16, the elaborate priestly
ceremonial of atonement is described.
In Leviticus % 1862, the observance
of Yom Kipper.is enjoined as a holy
day wherein affliction of the soul
fasting, etc. is to be practised.
A traditional observance on this day
has, thus, long been fasting. Origin
ally the high priest was the central
figure of the ritual. He besought for
giveness for his own sins and those Of
his household, and then for all the
people. The sacrifice of two goats,
one for the Lord and the other set
aside for "Azazel," was the means of
publication from sin.
From these Biblical practices, which
sought in symbolic fashion, to obtain
forgiveness for the community as a
whole, the celebration of the Day of
Atonement was considerably changed
in Rabbinical Judaism; and in modern
Judaism, the observance of the Day of
Atonement emphasizes repentance for
shortcomings and misdeed, for failure
to live to ones highest ideals, and
| for yielding to the lure of Incidence
and selfishness.
The public service of the Day of
Atonement begins at shutdown with
solemn and plaintive prayer-melody
known as Kol Nidre call vows")
which refers to vows appertaining to
the conscience of the individual
Throughout the whole day following
the service is continuous, the intent
of which is to awaken within the wor,
shipper consciousness of his need to
orientate himself spiritually, that he
may the more worthily do his work IN
this world. The day long service
eliminates in the Ne'ilah service, II
which forgiveness is besought for al
mankind as fervently as for the indi
vidual Jew who utters the prayer
Not the punishment of the sinner, but
repentance for his failings and weak
nesses, and courage to walk under the
burden of life, valiantly, is the key
note of the concluding service.
In modern times a memorial serv
ice is also a feature of the day. Thi
service reminds the worshipper tina
death is a contamination Of life, ant
should not be feared. No one who ha
lived worthily is forgotten, nor is HI
life void. All who contribute to tn
attainment of mans hope OF re
demption from poverty, war, famine
sickness, selfishness and exploitation
hasten the advent of the Kingdom o
God. which is established as the resul
of every persons effort to better con
ditions of life. The memorial servlc
on the Day of Atonement is crowde
with tender memories, but utilities tn
solemn moment to drive home tn
paramount duty of living for human
lity.-The Jewish Ledger.

after truth is repelled rather than
further attracted.
Again. Religion frequently is
broughttup as a subject of CONVEX
sation, or even of controversy, in
shop, factory, office or public
place. The Catholic who cannot
give reasons for the faith that is
in him, is put to shame, and his
Church is forced through his ig-
norance to suffer the, obloquy OF
her enemies and scoffers.
Surely the majority Of parishes,
especially in towns or cities, could
muster a sufficient number Of men
who would be interested in such
a plan of apologetics. If the speak
.er or speakers are qualified and
sensible, considerable good would
be accomplished thereby, and the
intellectual tone Of the average
layman would be appreciably ele-
waited. He would be not simply a
believer but also an intelligent be-
lever.

A CATHOLIC BOND
FRENCH BISHOPS APPEAL FOR
AID TO GERMAN SUFFERERS.

Following the terrible disaster at
Oppau, Pope Benedict sent a consid-
cradle sum Of money through Mgr.
Pacelli, Apostolic Nuncio, to be used
for relief work among the survivors
and sufferers. The Bavarian govern
ment expressed it's heartfelt thanks
for the gift.
Bishop Paul Remond, who is chap
lain general of the Armies of the
Rhine, has also sent an urgent appeal
for help to the Catholics Of France.
His message to them reads as fol-
lows:
''The frightful catastrophe of Lud.
wigshafen has plunged thousands OF
families of German workmen into
mourning and distress. The town OF
Oppau, which had ten thousand in
habitants, is completed destroyed. We
all know what such devastation means
We have seen SO many ruins and sc
much suffering at home. Therefore
needing only the voice of our Chris
tian charity, we must bow with re
spectful sympathy before this terrible
disaster. We shall give to the work
of relief our help, sympathy, and pray
ers."
Bishop Remond then gives instruc
tons for prayers for the dead anG
urges that collections be made for the
relief of the survivors.
This attitude of the French chap
lain general has made very deel
impression.

WOMEN IN MEXICO
NOTABLE CHANGES OBSERVED IN
THEIR sTATUs-MExIcAN WON.
EN- BECOME ACTIVE IN VEL
FARE WORK.

Catholic women of Mexico are TAX
ing a new and remarkable interest
in public affairs and various welfare
activities.
This is said to be one of the results
of renewed interest in Catholic affairs
caused by the trials the Church has
undergone there. but it is also in
keeping with a worldwide movement
affecting women in every part of the
globe.
The Mexican Catholic Ladies' Union
is foremost among the active and we'll
organized bodies that take up matters
that have religious aspect. 1t studies
such subjects as child welfare and
public morals, exerting strong in
f1uence for betterment along these
lines. These women have made great
progress in circulating Catholic litera-
ture and are preparing to publish an
official organ.
The newly formed Young Women's
Catholic organization, similar in scope
to the Young Mems Catholic Associa-
tion, whose delegates attended the re-
cent convention in Rome, has outlined
a program that promises far-reaching
results. Organizations of this charac-
ter are common enough in other coun-
tries, especially in the United States,
but in Spanish-America this activity is
new and is taking wonderfully, espe-
cially among the young people.
The Mexican woman has always
been found in religious and charitable
work, but these newer activities call
for a mingling with the world and the
serious consideration of problems
that did not formerly thrust them
selves upon her notice.
A few years ago it was rare to see
Mexican girl of the better class en-
ployed in an Office or business place,
hut now it is as common to find the
business girl at work as in the United
States. There is some lessening of
the old "duena," or chaperone system.
and the girls are thrown more than
ever on their own resources for d.
rection of conduct and manners. These
new conditions call for social adjust
ments and the new women's organiza-
tions have come into being as re-
suit. A new self-reliance founded on
stronger moral standards will un-
doubtedly be the result of their work.

EARLY ETRUsCAN TONGUE
LIGHT THROWN ON THE ORIGIN
OF THE ITALIANS-cAPUCHIN
HAS WRITTEN REMARKABLE
WORK,
(By N. C. w. c. News service.)

(By N. C. w. C. News service.)
Father Schiel, an eminent scholar
and director of the Orientalist studies
at the School of Higher Studies of
Paris, has presented to the Academic
des Inscriptions ct Belles-Lettres, of
which he is a member, an important
work composed by a Capuchin relig-
ious, Father Hilaire de Barenton. 1t
is treatise on "The Etruscan Tongue,
Dialect of Ancient Egyptian"
This work throws much light on a
problem which had always been so OBJ
scure that many specialists had de-
clared it to be absolutely insoluble.
The Etruscans, whose idiom has sur,
vived in only few short inscriptions,
and whose history is scarcely known,
have remained an enigma to linguists
and ethnographers. Father .Hilaire
proves, by some decisive analogies,
that the Etruscan language is dialect
of Coptic and hieroglyphics. By
means of a new method inspired by
this discovery, he has been able to
| give satisfactory translation of texts
/, which had hitherto been interpreted
in an incomplete and doubtful man.
ner. At the same time, he has thrown
light on the origin Of this people
which, according to him, came origin
ally from the banks of the Euphrates,
and after long sojourn in Egypt
settled on the peninsula which was
eventually to be known as Italy.
The translations made by the Ca
puchin scholar are of great import
ance on account of the light they
throw on the origin of the Italian peo-

ers cannot agree or accept their un-
diluted teachings.
The tiippancy with which paryenu
sciolists, seated in academic chairs,
discourse upon the most solemn
truths of creation is equaled only by
the superficial self-sufficiency of
their credulous disciples. The re-
suit is a race of youthful agnostics
who patter and gibber about life,
death, God and Immortality in a
manner to make the thoughtful trem-
bic. Human science confined to its
own exclusive circle may expand and
distend; unless it lifts it's gaze to
the great, universal truths, to first
principles, it but remains in its hu-
man sphere and glories in its own
might, utterly unmindful and obliv-
ious of the First Cause. That is
why our colleges and universities
are so infested with rank atheism

lect in order to explore the realm

ST. PATR|CK'S SEE
ARMAGH PLEADS RIGHT TO BE IN
IRISH NATION-HAS MOST
GLORIOUS HISTORY.
(By N. c. w. C. News service.)

(By N. G. w. G.. News Service.)
Exclusion of Armagh, the ecclesias.
tical capital of Ireland and the See Of
st. Patrick, from the rest of Ireland
would deal more bitter blow to Ire
lands ancient glory as a nation than
the exclusion of any other county in
ireland, according to a recent issue of
the Irish Bulletin, which quotes the
protest against partition made before
Dali Eireann by Seamus O'Reilly, of
Armagh Urban Council, on the part Of
the Armagh delegation.
Armagh" declared O'Reilly, "holds
the most glorious landmarks of Ire
lands history. 1t is the burial place Of
Brian Boru, the monarch who welded
Ireland into solid entity against the
Mortimer and who remains to our
time as a symbol of Ireland's ancient
unity. Here, too, in this county is the
Navan Fort, the home of Cuchulain
and the Red Branch Knights. Thus it
will be seen from the very dawn of
Irish history Armagh has occupied a
-eminence in it's national life which
few other counties can boast of, and
again 1t has been associated with ev-
cry protest against foreign aggression
since the days of Shane the Proud,
through those of Hugh Roe and Phe-
lin till the time of the Irish V0lun-
teers, when Armagh's representation
made firm protest against the Act Of
Union.
Armagh Is the ecclesiastical CAPT
tai Of Ireland. 1t is the See of st. Pat
rick. No nation would tolerate the
severance OF its ecclesiastical capital
from the motherland."
