On j New War's I >a,v of Judgement of or dinary iieople, who had lx?en neither completely righteous nor uttrly will ful was left undecided and the oj> ftortjudty was given them for re |MMitan<r; now the Day of Atonement provides all men with the |M?tslhlllty of returning to their (Sod and of llnd I iik reconciliation with lllm through prayer. The day la the most solemn of all days In the Jewish calendar, It In pass ed lu fasting and prayer. The whole day Ih s|?eiit lu the synagog. In the evcpilng there is the service which coinmnces with the chanting of the well known Kol Nldre prayer. The day proper ha* four services. Of these the Mussaf or additional service con tains a descriptit# of the atonement rites as practiced lu the ancient days lu the Temple at Jerusalem; and the Nellah service Is understood to |#? held at the time whcji decision Is finally made as to man's fate, audi thus the Nelluh prayers histoid of having the usual phrase, "Inscribe us lu the lnH>k of life," uses the expres sion: "Seal us in the hook of life." According to Jewish tradition ex pressed in an ancient law-book, the Day or Atonement, when si?eut in prayer and repenting, will bring par don for sins between mail and (*od) but as for the sins committed by man against his fellow man the Day can not bring pardon until he has appeased Ills fellow man. This Idea Is he bas is of the effort always made before the Day of Atonement to bring peace be tween such friends who have become' estranged and are on unfriendly terms with one another; and in this way, i the Day will put the worshipper at |s?ace no! only with his Maker, but also with hJaTellow man.
