It is remarkable, and speaks well for the faithfulness of Israel, that although upwards of centuries have elapsed since the day was appointsd for its observance, yet to ibis hour it is solemnized with the same vigor a3 on the day the command was given. 1 For on this day there shall be made an atonement for you to cleanse you from all your sios " These words will be uttered bj all who bear the nameef "Jew," by all who, though estranged from ibe fold by circum stance or inclination, return within the pale of Judaism and sit amcng thsir brethren, in lowly humility on the Day of Kippar, the solemn day of atonement, tbe day of re pentance. These words will be repeated with passion ate accents, with prayerful longing, tbat the realization of the promise contained in them may be vouchsafed.
