The Day of Atonement waa held on the 10th day of the new year, about October 1. varying with the new moon. It waa a day of failing and prayer, of the moat solemn services, of repentance and reformation, and of good resolutions. It was kept as a moat solemn sabbath and fast, when all moat abstain from work and "afflict their souls.' on pain of being "cut off from the people' (r 29: Acts 27: 9). "Its ceremonies aRmlfied the public humlllstion of the people for all the sins of the past year, and the remission of those sins by the atonement which the high priest made within the vail, whither he entered on this day only."—Smith. "The Day of Atonement la the time when universal reconciliation takes place. Chlldm ask forgiveness of parents: those who have wronged one another implore pardon: all differences on that occasion are healed, and everybody Is on good terms with one another." C. S Robinson. In the observance of the day amid a varied ceremonial two young goats were chosen (v. 6) to represent the atonement for aln and Its forgiveness, by two object lessons, both of them The first object lesson was the offering of one of the goats as a sacrifice for sin (v. 9). The offerer was himself purified by a special sacrifice (vs. 11-14). For God to offer free pardon for tin without the atonement would be to defeat bla own purpose of redeeming The blood of Jeans Christ is the highest expression ol his love. The second object lesson waa the scapegoat (va. (, 10. 20-22). "To be the scapegoat" (v*. 10. 24) la translated In the R. V. "for Axaxel.” The sacrificed goat waa "for Jehovah." This was "for Axaxel.' his exact opposite. the prince of darkness, according to Die majority of modern scholars. Id Milton's Paradise Lost "Axaxel la represented as the standard bearer of the infernal hosts, out oat from heaven and become the embodiment of despair ”—Century Dictionary. "The meaning la very uncertain.' "There can be little doubt that the ceremonial was Intended as a symbolical declaration that the land and the people are now purged from guilt, their tins being handed over to the evil aplrit to whom they are held to belong.'—Professor Driver in Hastings' Bible Dictionary. Practical Points. The cross la the eternal emblem and expression of God's forgiving love. God's love can transform even the tears of aln Into tonga of victory. Out of the cross, the work of wicked men. blossoms the heroic example of Christ and everlasting loving kindness of our father In heaven. Forgiveness does not remove the penalty of aln. It does bring back

It dose restore the outward < slons of God's favor. We cam* cel re of a pardon that goat
