Whtnce lli.s struhge anomaly V Is not ev ery rellK on based upon this deeper need of Hie soul, the lon:n- of the heart to be iv.'onc led to that power it worships as the ruler ir "its destiny'.' To mediate uumment between the -s.il laden mortal ami his maker; to hold out t.i the erring and suffer. 11 g man the hope of forgiveness and to bring I1I111 the message of pardon, has always been ion? dered the chief function of every rt l.g.ou. And still tin fact remi'j.ns. that none but Israel's faith has erected an iuuestructible monument tj this idea, of foi,iveiiess ill the Institution of the Day of Atonement. The reason for this singular exception must be souglit in the radii-ally different not'ons of "sin" a held by Judaism and those taught by other rL-l uioll4. Man. accord ag to ht'athen nul'cti, has no othtr lel.ition to the lie :y but us that of the we.iktr to the stronger. 1'ln st an tt.v. though base-l upon tli pr uc.pie of atotunient, reta' lied the heathen con.-cp-tion of rin.

Tile confe iiuence of sin Is death. Jews' Idea of sin and Cordon. What Is the attitude of Judaism toward this v.tal question of s.n and pardon'.' A quaint legend of the prophets will be.-:t illustrate the position of Judaism, the high est. mate it places upon man, and the m.JiH.t employs to reconc.le h m to (Ju l. The. men of toe c.ty of Jer.cho said to Klisha: Heboid. We pray thee, the s.tua iiun of this city Is pb.a.-ant, us my Lord said, but the water is ev.l. and therefoio the ground ;s barren. And he said: Urinit to me a new cruise and put salt therein. And they brought it to him, and he weiit forth lino the spring of the wa trs and cast the fait theic.n and sa.d: Thus said the Lord. I have healed these waters; there shall not be from them any more death or dlst ae. (II Kings, chapter 11. I'J.t There was an older tradition that Jericho had bieii cursed, never to be re built. Iii.srolied of its mythical and mys. ticai drapUigs, tlus l.ttle legend Is but a description of the difference between the Jewish L'omvptlun of sin and atonement and that of olher reltwons. There s. on the one hand, the older doctrine of man's Inborn w.k"?dnfs and rlnfulnees. 11. s flesh Is a cf sspool of vice and corruption. Man cannot help sinning; his very nature is evil; ikath Is h s only cure. If redemp tion Is to come, t c:ir. tie only by supernat ural Intervention. Hut Judaism declares: The s tuatlon of the c.ty Is pleasant; man's nature is good; he is not the cursed creature groawng ur. b r the load of orig inal Kin. . Judaism knows of no miraculous means of atonement. The sacrifices offered at the temple of Jerusalem possessed no vicarious quality; they were part of a priestly ritualism shared by all ancient worships. Judaism has chosen the simplest pors.ble means and methods. It has set apart one day III the year on which man shall give himself up unto himself and shall find himself again. Ift alone with the etter self, secluded from the world ard Its turmoil, nnd b'd den to examine his conduct, to search his sins, and confess his fallings, man will soon discover that within h'm alone lies the source of h s misery, and that, a no one can b held responsible for his good or evil dispos'tion. so no one has Ihe IKiwer tn ''ft h m from h's degrndat'on ex cept he himself. S n. m-eording to Jew.sb conception, is notnn Inc'dental act nrous Ing the niier of flod. but a cnndlt'on of human temper. (Sood nnd evil nre not occurrences but modes of extence. They effect not in the bast the nature of (iod. Conscience la One'sjudge. It Is to ouisclvea ihat we must turn, pleading bcfoie the tiibunal of our own consciei:-e, t-st'fy.iot before the mujesty of our convictions, that-we have tieen false to our trusts and our truths, low in our di-sires, s-dll-li ,n our cravings, cruel and ungrateful in our deakngs with others, and by such coiifes jii so stir up our b-t-ter self that our soul shell rcg.iin Its power and triumph over the Imdd.oiiH d s ease, expelling from our moral system the danir, r breed n germs, and thus re. store within us the healthful activity of our surittuil faculties. Is t not clcnr now. even to the simplest mlnu, lh' Ih" sorvlees of song arid prayer own only be thai of arous ng our own heart from its lethargy, of touch ng the strings of our soul nnd making thm rev brute In re. sponse to the words, of our Hps'? Of what value, thin, are meaningless ami unintel ligible utterances spoken or chanted lis If bv thtm we meant to charrn (lod ln!o yielding to our wiwhus, or to persuade M m to take away from 11s our s'ns ami mnke undone our mlr. lo ngs. Whit row must we do, you ask, to ob tain forgiveness nnd atonement? Wn must foilow the example tit the prophet, go to the source, of ev I nnd cart Into It the silt that shall cVirc our fountain of I'fe. That salt s n virtue called 'lin mil'dy:" 't 's one of the card'nal virtues of Jewish ethic. Humility 's a v'rtue In poverty and rub-fortune'. Therefore, nn will not accuse tJod, but himself, and humbly 'implore Clod's grnec nnd forg've ness, to creale with'n h rn a pure heart and nn ttpr ght rp'i't. to look upon his repen'lng nnl contr'te heirt as upon a racred plerlpe nnd promiee of n thcroiiRli change 'n dlsposit'ori, and Joyful rendiness to do Owl's will. Where Allowance Should He Made. It Is a mark of true greatness to make Indulgent allowance, under provocation, for the weakness of human nature, nnd tor1 the piesxiires th-at are brought to bear on every man by the exigenc es of his en vironment. Intellectual greatness with out rmekness, genius without the sweet erring grains of hurrrility. Is unbearable and unenjoyahle as the most nv.ting meal s tastelee without salt. The virtue of humirty is -the true preservative of our miral relat or..; it a tans prottvts us against the extra voga.ties of our der-'ires, the corruption of our pass on . the po s onous seeds of hetred and revenge. Kor how can he lift himsplf up above his fellowtnen, whose soul Is humbled by the thought of the majesty of !od. compared wHh which man's most glorious achieve ments are but Images of a dreamland? It consecrates him to the service of human ity. Oh how must the dark clouds of pas sion, of envy and selfishness vanish before this brilliant 'maire of man's true tnls-s-'on. And finally, the fart must be stated that humitty alone can vest with tru value our works of char'ty. What does Uod require of thre but to do Justice, love mercy and wa.lk humbly with thy God. In our trials and tempta tions, In our failings and In our victo ries, may there never be wanting the salt, the healing elements of humility, meek-, nesa end modesty; then will the fnunta'n of our existence be cured of the '.in-purtt-les of outward 'influences; then, and then only, will our prayers be answered, and n the sanctuary of our souls we will unto ourselves, unto our fellowtnen, and unto our Uod! Amen. K ALLYING DAY. Special lixcrciscs In the Providence and Second l'rcblciuin Chinches. Hallyi-ng day was observed In fho Providence Presbyterian Sunday school yetltei'day noon.
