By the maglo wand of the Imaglnatlon tho sceno and tho sor vicc aralnld "agaln boforo our vlslon. AVo sco tho resplondont temple at Jerusaiem poorloss ln Its archltoctural splendor. Proudly unrearlng its domo from the summlt of Morlah's mount, Its goldon gnteway Kives back the gloam of the troplc sun. Roiindnbotit It He tho hllls and tho valleys of that Iand, whoso every lnch almost ls covcred wlth the oplsodes of a hlstory that ls written ln dellblv upon tho heart of tho cIvlHzed world'. Wlthln the walls of the templo wo sco tho courtynrds crowded wlt.h an oagor, yot revercnt multltude. Thcto crowds themsclves mako llvlng walls of flosh, wlthln whlch. ln' tho open spaco, stand tlie lmplements and paraphornalU of the atonement'servlco, tho altars, t.he lavers and the varlous vessols used in thu impressive ceremony. There, too, stand tho anlmals awaltlng the sacrlficlal stoeU and tho prlests of varlous degrecs at thelr sovoral statlons. . But the absorbec! attentlon of tho houso assemblnge ls rlvetcd upon thc hlgh pr'est. Clad In hls spotlcss, sacred otal robes, ho procceds to perform th' scrvice that Is pecullar to the day. tho confesslon of Bln upon tho acapegoat and Its dlsmlssal to tho wilderness. _ Fascinating Service. It ls a fascinating scrvice, one preg nant wlth profound meanlng for every soul ln that vast assembly, and appealinK to every heart present. Every cyo Is bent upon the hlgh prlest. He makes confei slon of hls own slns and those of hia household. of the pricathood and of all tho Jiouso of Israel. By this confesslon. laying these slns upon thc scapegoat. hu sends It forth by a trusted 'hand to pcrlsh ln the wilderness. The attentlon turnsi from the hlxh prlest to t.he sln-laden nnl mal as it ls led away to Its fato. The people sllent make way for lt through the throng-. They follow |t with. keen in torest as long as It ls In sight. and when it finally dlsappears from vlew, a slgh of relief goen up from the crowded tem? ple. For were they not now sln-free In tho eves of God and Man? Had not thc goat taken their gullt? Was ho not the vlcarlous sufferer, by whom the bnrden of lnlqulty was llfted from thelr shoul ders nnd they were purged, thelr slns atoned for? Could they not, wlth cloat consclonco and easy heart, go back now to thelr dally routlne of llfe, pursue agaln the aamo paths? And In another year would not another goat agaln take awny the renewed load of thelr wlckedness and render them agaln stalnlass of sin? Assured, so they bellevcd and practlced, AVith a start we como back to tho con sclousness of our 6ervlco and our IdeaU to-uay, and there ls present a keen appre clatlon of the wlde gulf whlch time has made between that age and this, between that servlco and ours here to-day. All the paraphernalla of that elaborate produc tlon have crumbled away. The temple Is gone tho holy city is gone, the altar ls gone, tho sacrlfico of anlmals ls gone. Is there aught of that anclent service that rcmalns for us? Surcly wo have nothlng of barbarlc splendor, nothlng of the sacri fleial cult or of the odor of burn'.ng flesh. AVouId any member of thls congr<SLat|or--. would any member of a most ortnodox congregatlon, wish to rocall that service as the proper way to serve God, or to. make atonement for ono's sin? Yet would any momber of thls congregatlon undei take to say that that service was not as acceptable in the ? eyes of God as tho most rctlned ond decorous service of to day, providing there was cqual keynote sincerlty at both servlces? Keynote, Sincerity. Here Is the keynote of our thought slncerity. T.he mind of man moves wlth the process of the suna. His conceptlfln of thlngs changes, as tho foliago- of a tree. Every ldeal has Its outward ex? presslon In some instltutlon or form, anJ every Instltutlon has Its scasons of blos som, frultago and decny. But the emo tlons aro steadfast, and the heart of man bents.to-day as lt dld of yore. Tho chango takes place in the exteinah only. Thus we nro gathered to-day In our house of prayer, ns were our fathors In the tem? ple j". old. to humble ourselves before God to seek atonement for our slna and to recelve from out His boundless mercy pardon for our Inlqultles. The method of our service Is peculiar to our age only. .
