lie said, in pare
Asiiln has come Israel's most sacred day
lnv.l.ng us to enter the tanctuary of our
soul. I. kc the h.Kh pi Ut of old 111 tile
hoiy of holies, so do we 'stand today .11
the atioist pi-esence of cur conscience, to
sick recoiiiUiutioli mul peace w.lli our
selves, w.th our lellowimn, and w.th our
lioil. Whcivver the descendants of Abra
ham dwell on this vust nlobc, whether en
the sun-kis.t'd so.-l of liberty or under
the clouily sky of despotism and lioxeily
everywhere this day has niiiiitc power 10
brinir tuttether the scattered members
of Israel to weld for one brief day the
remnants of our peoplo Into one holy com
munity. Peculiar Influence on the Soul.
No holy day in any other reliKlon had
exer exerc.sed a s.mllar Influence upon
men's soul us the Hay of Atonement noes
upon the peop.e of Isiael; nor lias any
oilier rel.g.on einboditd 1.11 any of its t'es
t.v'.tlts the princ.jde wh-ch gave name
and character to the day we celebrate.
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. Sin d sturbs the equanimity
of tloJ, His anger Is aroused; and only
when Justice has had its sway, and the
wicked has received the full measure of
the 1XV ne wrath, will the nature of !od
be satisfied, fun'shment may be poit
paned, but It Is inevitable. 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.
