For Thou, Lord, hast made me glad through Thy work: I will triumph in the works of Thy hands. O Lord, how great are Thy works! and Thy thoughts are very deep. A coarse man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish ; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever : Hut Thou, Lord, art most high for evermore. For, lo, Thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, Thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. But my horn shalt Thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn : I shall be anointed with fresh oil. Mine eye shall also see the discomfiture of mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear the wail of the wicked that rise up against me. The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit fn old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; To shew that the Lord is upright : He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before Thee. O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Let the prayer be your token that you still re- member your departed ones and that you honor their remembrance by emulating the noble deeds of such who, while living, were a blessing to others. Rise and pray with us, that when the summons comes, and we are called hence, we may live in the memories of our relatives and friends, so that, even though dead, the recollection of our good deeds may survive to inspire them to higher virtues and nobler achievements. But, above all, let us pray that we do so mould and direct our every word, thought and deed, that in contemplating our latter end, we may be free from dread and terror; that without looking forward to it, we may be ready, when summoned by the call of Our Father, to return home leaving this world at peace with ourselves and our fellowmen.

Who hath not allowed us to fall into the errors of idolatry and superstition and hath caused us to value light and truth, which have become our priceless heritage. (Congregation Standing) FOR He hath stretched out the heavens and estab- lished the earth, and the habitation of His glory is exalted above all. He is our God and none other. He is our King and none besides. Even as it is written in His Law: "Know therefore this day and consider it in thine heart that the Lord He is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath: and there is none else." WE therefore fix our hopes on Thee, O Lord our God, that soon we may behold the triumph of Thy FOR THE NEW YEAR 31 majesty, when evil shall pass away from earth and idolatry be for ever destroyed. Then shall Thy kingdom be surely established in the world and all the children of men invoke Thy blessing. That the forces of wickedness may become instruments of good. Then will all the inhabitants of Thy world realize and know that to Thee alone belongs all worship and praise, before Thee alone will they then prostrate themselves, to Thee alone pledge their fealty: thus universally accepting upon themselves the sovereignty of Thy glorious kingdom, and Thou wilt reign eternally over all; for Thine is the king- dom, and Thou wilt reign gloriously for ever and ever, as it is written in Thy Law : "The Lord shall reign for ever and ever." And it is said : "And the Lord shall be King over all the earth : in that day shall the Lord be One and His name One." : -irw Wi f HN rrrr Ninn DV3 32 EVENING SERVICE MAGNIFIED and praised be the living God : He is, and there is no limit in time unto His being. He is One, and there is no unity like unto His unit> ; inconceivable is He, and unending is His unity. He hath neither bodily form nor substance: we can compare nought unto Him in His holiness. He was before anything that hath been created even the first: but His existence had no beginning. Behold He is the Lord ot the universe: to every creature He teacheth His greatness and His sov- ereignty. The rich gift of His prophecy He gave unto the men of His choice, in whom He gloried. Theie hath never yet arisen in Israel a prophet like Moses, one who hath beheld His similitude. The Law of truth God gave unto His people by the hand of the prophet, who was faithful in His house. God will not alter nor change His Law to ever- lasting for any other. He watcheth and knoweth our secret thoughts: He beholdeth the end of a thing before it existeth. He bestoweth lovingkindness upon "a man accord- ing to his work ; He giveth to the wicked evil accord- ing to his wickedness. He will send at a favorable time freedom to all men. to redeem them that wait for the end Hi? salvation. Tn the abundance of His lovingkindness God will quicken the dead. Blessed for evermore be His glorious name.

So long as the soul is within me, I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord my God and God of my fathers, Sovereign of all works, Lord of all souls ! Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who freest the enslaved. Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who spreadest forth the earth above the waters.

O lead us not into the power of sin, or of trangres- sion of iniquity, or of temptation, or of scorn: let not the evil inclination have sway over us : keep us far from a bad man and a bad companion : make us cleave to the good inclination and to good works : subdue our inclination so that it may submit itself unto Thee; and let us obtain this day, and every day, grace, favour and mercy in Thine eyes, and in the eyes of all who behold us ; and bestow loving kindnesses upon us. Blessed art Thou, O Lord, who bestowest lovingkindnesses upon all creation. At all times let a man fear God as well in private as in public, acknowledge the truth, and speak the truth in his heart ; and let him rise early and say : Sovereign of the universe! Not because of our righteous acts do we lay our supplications before Thee, but because of Thine abundant mercies. What are we? What is our life? What is our piety? What our righteousness? What our helpfulness? What our strength? What our might? What shall we say before Thee, O Lord our God and God of our fathers? Are not all the mighty men as nought before Thee, the men of renown as though they had not been, the wise as if without knowledge, and the men of understanding as if without discern- ment? For most of their works are void, and the days of their lives are vanity before Thee, and the pre-emince of man over the beast is nought, for all is vanity.

Thy deeds, O Lord, my soul enchant, Thy handiwork my mind enslaves ; Wondrous great are Thy works, O Lord- Profound indeed are ail Thy thoughts. Yet, those who are coarse will never know, Nor thoughtless ones this understand : Though the wicked flourish as grass, And evil ones spring up like weeds, In the end they themselves do hurt For Thou'lt remain exalted, Lord ; When the evil-doers have perished, When Thy deniers low are laid And sinful ones are long forgotten. But do Thou high exalt my horn ; Gladden me with the oil of joy; Direct mine eyes upon the right, Even tho' many against me rise. For, if oppressed, I cry to Thee Thou'lt bend Thine ear and send me help ; Righteous ones as palms shall flourish, As mighty cedars strike their roots Planted near the house of the Lord, They bud in the courts of our God ; Even in age they bud afresh, And are green and sturdy for aye. Still upright God I sing of Thee, My rock, in whom there is no harm. FOR THE NEW YEAR 43 ON SABBATH. "IDT?) nirr 1 ? n'nh 1 ? rrtto rotrn D V? rni?3 : nrirn^ D'np nnxi nynij Dip^'n 1 ?

He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night ; nor for the arrow that flieth by day ; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand ; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him : I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.

Sovereign of the universe! We reverently bow before Thee and the law which Thou hast given us, and pray Thee so to incline our hearts to obey Thy commands, that we may learn to have faith in Thee alone. For not in man do we put our trust; nor on fame or wealth do we rely. Our only hope is in Thee, who art the God of truth, whose law is truth, and whose prophets are prophets of truth, and who doest all things in goodness and in truth. May it be Thy will to open our hearts to under- stand Thy law, so that we may find comfort and consolation on this New Year and that the as- surance of forgiveness and salvation may sustain us. Amen.

There is none holy as the Lord : for there is none beside Thee : neither is there any rock like our God. Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not ar- rogancy come out your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed. The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength. They that were full have hired out themselves for bread ; and they that were hungry ceased : so that the barren hath born seven ; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble. The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory : for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and he hath set the world upon them. He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness ; for by strength shall no man prevail. FOR THE NEW YEAR The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth ; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed. And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the Lord before Eli the priest. TO BE READ ON THE SECOND DAY (Nehemiah viii.) AND all the people gathered themseives together as one man into the street that was before the water gate ; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded to Israel. And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until mid- day, before the men and the women, and those that could understand ; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law. And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up : MORNING SERVICE And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God. And all the people answered, AMEN, AMEN, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the Lord with their faces to the ground. So they read in the book in the law of God dis- tinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the Lord your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law. Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared : for this day is holy unto our Lord : neither be ye sorry ; for the joy of the Lord is your strength. So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy ; neither be ye grieved. . And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them. And on the second day were gathered the chief of the fathers, of all the people, the priests, and the Levites. unto Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law.

From the beginning Thou didst make this Thy purpose known, and from aforetime Thou didst disclose it. This day, on which was the beginning of Thy work, is a memorial of the first day, for it is a statute for Israel, a decree of the God of Jacob. Thereon also sentence is pronounced upon countries, which of them is destined to the sword and which to peace, which to famine and which to plenty ; and each sepa- rate creature is visited thereon, and recorded for life or for death. Who is not visited on this day? For the remembrance of every creature cometh before Thee, each man's deeds and de^- tiny, his works and ways, his thoughts and schemes, his imaginings and achievements.

When Thou didst teach the law of liberty to man, Thy Divine fiat ignited fires of hope in the human breast ; and the decla- ration of Thy paternal love for the meek and lowly, had all the terrors of the thunder and lightning for those who enslaved men ; and the trumpet blast of freedom caused them all to tremble. Therefore, O our God and God of our fathers, cause the trumpet blast of universal liberty to be sounded, and the standard of Justice to be everywhere set up throughout Thy world.

But, above all, let us pray that we do so mould and direct our every word, thought and deed, that in contemplating our latter end, we may be free from dread and terror; that without looking forward to it, we may be ready, when summoned by the call of Our Father, to return home leaving this world at peace with ourselves and our fellowmen.

For, lo, Thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, Thine enemies shall perish ; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. But my horn shalt Thou exalt like the horn of an uni- corn : I shall be anointed with fresh oil. Mine eye shall also see the discomfiture of mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear the wail of the wicked that rise up against me.

Sing praise unto the Lord O ye His loving ones, and give thanks to His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment; his favour is for a lifetime: weeping may tarry for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved. Thou, Lord, of Thy favour hadst made my mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide Thy face; I was confounded. I cried unto Thee, O Lord ; and unto the Lord I made supplication : What profit is there in my blood if I go down to the pit? Can the dust give thanks to Thee? Can it declare Thy truth? Hear, O Lord, and be gra- cious unto me; Lord, be Thou my helper. Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness : to the end that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent: O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto Thee for ever.

Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a vesture ; the waters stood above the mountains. At Thy re- buke they fled; at the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away. The mountains rose, the valleys sank into the place which Thou hadst founded for them. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. He sendeth forth springs into the valleys ; they run among the mountains. They give drink to every beast of the plain ; the wild asses quench their thirst. By them the birds of the heaven have their dwelling, they utter their voice from among the branches. He giveth drink to the mountains from His upper chambers : the earth is satisfied with fruit of Thy works. He causeth grass to grow for the cattle, and herbs for the service of man ; that he may bring forth bread from the earth ; and wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengtheneth man's heart. The trees of the Lord are satisfied; the cedars of Lebanon which lie hath planted ; where the birds make their nests : as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. The high mountains are for the wild goats ; the rocks are a refuge for the conies. He made the moon for seasons : the sun knoweth its going down. Thou makest darkness, and it is night; wherein all the beasts of the forest do move. The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.

Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fa-t as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.

Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy bur- dens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity ; And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul ; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day: And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the founda- tions of many generations ; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day ; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable ; and shalt honour him. not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words : Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and T will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. 278 MORNING SERVICE FOR After the Lesson from the Prophets the following is said: BLESSED art Thou, O Lord our God, King of the universe, Rock of all worlds, righteous through all generations, O faithful God, Who sayest and doest, Who speakest and fulfillest, all Whose words are truth and righteousness.

THOU, O God, didst establish the universe and lay the foundations of the earth. By Thine al- mighty fiat didst Thou fashion order out of chaos and ordain the laws by which creation moves. Creatures without number didst Thou form, en- dowing them with instinct. And over all didst Thou place man to reflect Thy divine wisdom in the operation of the intelligent principle with which Thou didst invest him. Thus in successive stages is unfolded Thy divine Self as the consciousness of the universe. But, in his infancy, man could not comprehend the mag- nitude of divine intelligence and could only by progressive degrees grow into the realization of its magnificence. Thus his errors become his in- structors ; the faults of the past are the founda- tion on which he builds his strength. Each genera- tion perceives the crudeness of its predecessor and strives to expiate the faultiness of its parent gene- ration by the adoption of a higher standard of life; and, in turn, bequeathes its errors to a suc- ceeding generation to form the basis of a new and better system. It was through the errors of primitive man, O Lord, that we, Thy creatures, began to imitate THE DAY OF ATONEMENT 301 Thee and to establish law and order in our social system, as Thou didst establish them in Thy world. When might was the only right, and violence the only law, Thou didst cause us to work our own salvation by recognizing the rights of the weak. Even then, O God, our want of wis- dom led us back to error and we fashioned images of wood and stone and called them by Thy name. Groping in the deep darkness of our stupidity, we arrogated to ourselves divine right and ascribed divine attribute to works of our hands. Then did Thy servant, Abraham, shine forth from the dark- ness to teach all men the truth that Thou art One. He took upon himself the obligation to proclaim Thy unity and gave it solemnly in charge to his descendants to ever perform this holy mission. Being consecrated to so holy a service, he further admonished his children to maintain the cause of justice and truth, in order that they might be in- strumental in bringing nothing but good to the rest of mankind. Israel, through the hardships and trials that came to them during their sojourn in Egypt, for- got their divine mission ; until the great liberator, Moses, arose to inspire them with courage anew. Then did they burst the fetters that bound them and, at Sinai, entered into a covenant with Thee to 302 ADDITIONAL SERVICE FOR become Thy emissaries, to promulgate the doc- trine of Thy unity and to minister in Thy name to all mankind. In Thine infinite wisdom Thou dost select from amongst Thy children such as Thou dost design to be Thy servants to the sons of men that they may instruct them in Thy ways and lead them on the paths of righteousness. Even so didst Thou select Israel to be Thy messengers to the families of the earth, that they might teach the nations Thy law, and draw them nearer to Thee. Then didst Thou scatter the Levites among the tribes of Israel to prepare Thy people for the holy mission of spreading the knowledge of Thee, the only God, and left them portionless that no thought of ma- terial prosperity, or desire for gain might make them recreant to their duty. And from the tribe of Levi, the family of Aaron was chosen to fill the most important office of high priest, whose most sacred duty it was, once a year, to appear before Thine august presence, and, with promises of reparation of wrong? done by the whole nation, make atonement for them. Arrayed in garments of pure white, he sym- bolized to the people the equality of all men before Thee, O Lord, and the truth that clean hearts and pure minds are alone pleasing to Thee. Realizing THE DAY OF ATONEMENT 303 the faultiness of all and that even the greatest of men is not free from error, he proceeded to make atonement for himself and his household. Ac- knowledging our own imperfections we reverently and devoutly rise and utter before Thee the con- fession of sins made by the high priest and humbly and penitently implore Thy pardon. Rabbi and Congregation: O LORD, I have sinned ; T have done iniquity ; I have transgressed against Thee, I and my house- hold. By Thy divine compassion I beseech Thee to pardon the sins, iniquities and transgressions which I have committed against Thee, even I and my household as it is written in the law of Thy servant Moses : "For on this day shall He make atonement for you to cleanse you. that ye may be clean from all your sins before the Lord."

DD*nxon " 304 ADDITIONAL SERVICE FOR THUS did the high priest purge himself of soul guilt as a private individual and make atonement for his sins and the sins of his household, and so do we to-day, O God, pray Thee to strengthen us so that we may be enabled to correct our faults and the faults of those under our care that dis- cord may disappear from our homes and happi- ness be the portion of those who dwell beneath our roof. The high priest then offered supplication on be- half of himself in his official capacity and on behalf of his co-workers in Thy holy cause. We, too, beseech Thee, O Lord our God, to be with us and the other ministers of Thy people Israel who stand before Thee this day to implore Thy mercy and favor. O make them understand what to say ; teach them what to speak, inspire them with zeal and grant them wisdom to conceive and strength to ut- ter the truth to Thy people who look to them for guidance. Let them not fear lest they lie put to shame and Thy people be misled. But grant, O Lord, that continuously we maintain with dignity and honor Thy cause and the cause of Thy people Israel. Having atoned for the sins of the Levites, his fellow ministers, he next offered fervent prayer THE DAY OF ATONEMENT 305 for the forgiveness of the whole Congregation. Taking a golden censer, he cast into it a handful of incense and placed it within the Holy of Holies. By this act he taught that Thou regardest not wealth nor takest note of much gold but only of the sweet charity that the wealthy may do in Thy service. There in the most sacred precinct of the Temple and as he regarded himself face to face with Thy divine spirit, he made atonement for the people while they patiently and penitently stood bowed in grief for their sinfulness, record- ing vows of amendment. After performing this pious duty, he returned to the altar and, raising his hands to heaven, proceeded to utter the con- fession of sin for the whole congregation. Rabbi and Congregation: O LORD, Thy people have sinned, transgressed and trespassed against Thee. I invoke Thy divine grace to forgive the sins, iniquities and transgres- sions of all Thy people and of the house of Israel. Even as it is written in the law of Thy servant Moses: For on this day shall he make atonement for you to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the Lord.

THE service being concluded, the high priest came forth to mingle with the people, his manner giving evidence of the great spiritual joy he felt. Assured of forgiveness, the assembled multitude rejoiced and sang songs of thanksgiving to Thee, O God, Who pardonest the iniquities of those who repent and return unto Thee. The Temple is in ruins and priests no more offer sacrificial victims upon altars. Yet are we sure of Thy divine mercy and love when we call upon Thee in truth. For we have learned to inter- pret the lessons of old aright and understand that it is not in sacrifice or burnt offering that Thou delightest but in hearkening to Thy voice. There- fore will we build an altar on the contrition of our hearts and humble our spirits within us. Cause us to rejoice at the glad tidings of forgiveness and to feel that though our sins were as scarlet, they THE DAY OF ATONEMENT 307 have become white as snow ; that we may be decked with salvation and clad with righteousness. May our messenger, the holy Day of Atonement, fulfil our desire and obtain for us the peace of God, so that, purified from all uncleanliness and cleared from all taint, we may go forth in the consciousness of our innocence. Clinging to Thy right hand that is full of righteousness, may we be upheld and supported in our endeavors to rear temples of truth and to blot out error and injus- tice from the Jives of men. And now, O Lord, our God, we pray Thee as did the high priest at the conclusion of the day: To grant that the year upon which we have just entered may be full of blessing for us and for all Thy creatures; that rain may everywhere fall in due season and that neither famine nor pestilence may afflict the sons of men. May nations live in amity and learn to adjust their differences with- out appeal to arms. May no widow weep for want and no orphan cry to Thee for aid. May the stranger find food and shelter and the oppressed champions. May the cause of justice and right ever obtain worthy advocates. Grant that in the coming year we may uproot vice and plant virtue, tear down error and build up truth, trample down superstition and exalt true religion. May the ministrations of Thy servant Israel be recognized and appreciated by all the peoples of the earth in order that all men may know that Thou alone art God.

AND the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying, Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, accord- ing to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and pro- claimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and pub- lished through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying. Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: But let man and beast be covered with sack- cloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them THE DAY OF ATONEMENT 345 turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from His fierce anger, that we perish not? And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that He had said that He would do unto them; and He did it not. But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray Thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that Thou art a gra- cious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest Thee of the evil. Therefore, now O Lord, take, I beseech Thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry? So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city. And the Lord God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd. But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered. And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind ; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, 346 AFTERNOON SERVICE FOR and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live. And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death. Then said the Lord, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow ; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle? After reading the Haphtharah, the following is said: BLESSED art Thou, O Lord our God, King of the universe, Rock of all worlds, righteous through all generations, O faithful God, Who sayest and doest, Who speakest and fulfillest, all Whose words are truth and righteousness.

This world of Thine abundantly testifieth that there is none be- sides Thee. Thy wisdom is evidenced in all, and everything beareth witness to Thee. Before the mountains were brought forth or the pillars of heaven were set up, even ere the mountains and valleys were formed Thou didst abide in Thy world. Thou comprises! all things and all are comprised in Thee, and Thou fillest the whole universe. The mind wearies in -ei-king Thee 348 AFTERNOON SERVICE FOR and the tongue tires in telling of Thee.

Only Thy works can be searched out and Thy faithfulness to the assembly of the righteous ones. As for Thy righteousness it has been heard of and Thy Law has been made known.

Strengthen us in our reverence for Thee, and fortify us to keep Thy perfect law. Vouchsafe unto us the joy of training our sons and daughters to keep Thy commandments and to perform Thy will all the days of their life. O God, take us not hence in the midst of our days. Let us complete in peace the number of our years. Verily, we know that our life is frail, that our days are as a handbreadth. Therefore help us, O God of our Salvation, to live before Thee in truth and uprightness during the years of our pil- grimage. And when it will please Thee to take us from earth, be Thou with us; and may our souls be bound up in the Ixind of life, ushered into eternal life to abide with the souK of our parents and <.f 6 MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR" the righteous who stand before Thee in heaven, and whose memory remaineth forever. Amen. Amen. PRAYER IN MEMORY OF DEPARTED PARENTS. May God remember the soul of my honored father (mother ), who has gone to his (her) eternal home. O let his (her) soul be bound up in the bond of life, and may he (she) rest in honor, with full- ness of joy in Thy presence, with pleasures at Thy right hand for evermore. Amen. May it be Thy will, O Lord our God, to subdue our vicious inclinations and to hide Thy face from our sins and trespasses. O take us not hence in the midst of our days until we have prepared for our journey, and for the day of our departure. For, were we to leave it as we came into it, and re- turn to the place of our origin as we came forth, wherefore were we created? Was it only to behold trouble? It were better for us never to have been born than to have come hither to multiply sin. O God, we beseech Thee, judge us in mercy and not in anger, lest Thou shouldst reduce us to naught. For what is man, that Thou shouldst judge him ? Only a fleeting breath placed in the balance and what will it avail to weigh the air? From the first day of his existence, man is dependent and needy, "stricken, smitten of God and afflicted." In his youth he is like chaff, floating on the air ; and at his latter end, he is like straw driven by the wind. THE DAY OF ATONEMENT 361 In his life he is like a withered herb and will God seek that which is driven to and fro? From the day of his birth, his night is sorrow and his day wailing; if he is exalted to-day, to-morrow he may be destroyed. Even mere chaff may move him on and a thorn sorely woundeth him. If he is satiated, he may become wicked ; and if he is hungry, he will sin for a loaf of bread. He is swifter than the eagle in the pursuit after riches and he forgets that death pursues him. In time of trouble, he multiplies his prayers ; he uses smooth words and is most liberal with his vows. But when enlarged, he breaks his word and forgets his vows. He places guards on every side while death lies in wait in his very chamber. He cometh into the world and knoweth not whence ; he rejoiceth, but knoweth not wherefore ; he liveth. but knoweth not how long. In youth he follows his stubborn ways ; and when "the spirit of the Lord begins to stir him up," he endeavors to collect substance and wealth. 'Then he forsakes his native place and traverses oceans and continents ; he treads arid deserts and endangers his life for gold. And when he imagines that his glory is great and that he has obtained opulence and peace, disaster comes upon him and lo it is gone. He is continually subject to trouble and to the vicissitudes of life and his days are full of dread. If he be in peace, suddenly calamity over- take him. He loses his life in war or by accident or sickness makes his life a bunion unto him. And when his infirmities increase, youth mocks him and 362 MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR infants rule him; he becomes a burden to his off- spring and his associates forget him. When his time comes, he passes from his house to the eternal abode and from the shadow of his home to the shadow of death. When then may man, subject to all these vicis- situdes, repent him of his sins and establish a good name, ere he go hence and be no more? The day is short; the work is great and the master presses. Therefore, O God, seeing that all things in life are so uncertain and that in our finiteness the future is always veiled from us, do Thou cause us ever to feel that our beloved ones who have gone from us are at rest and in peace ; and that beneath the shadow of Thine almighty protection, their souls are enshrined in holiness. Fill our hearts with a de- termination to requite the goodness of our earthly parents in the performance of kindly acts to all mankind done in the name of Thee, our Heavenly Father. Recalling the many sacrifices they have made for us and their earnest solicitude for our spiritual, moral and material welfare, may we be strengthened faithfully to perform our duty to the children Thou hast in Thy mercy given us. May the recollection of their love and anxiety awaken in us pious emotions. Amen. Reader: Court not death in the error of your life. Cong.: Neither draw upon yourselves destruction by the works of your hands. Reader: For God delighteth not when the living perish. THE DAY OF ATONEMENT 363 Cong.: For He created all things that they might have being. And there is no poison of destruction in them. Reader: For righteousness is immortal.

Cong.: But they are in peace. Reader: For even if, in the sight of men, they be punished. Cong.: Their hope is full of immortality.

Cong.: Because grace and mercy are to the up- right. Thou, O God, art the dispenser of life and death. Thou guidest the footsteps of men and ordainest the destinies of nations. Thou bringest our forms to the grave and raisest our souls to immortal life. Through the portals of the tomb we pass to Thine august presence to render Thee an account of our deeds while here upon earth. When we die our wealth goeth not with us nor does the fame we have attained accompany us. But in Thy divine mercy Thou hast provided us the means of obtaining grace and favor in Thy sight. Thou hast sent Thy prophets to instruct us and they, inspired by Thy wisdom, have taught us the things we may do to render us acceptable to Thee to do justice, to love mercy and to walk humbly before Thee; to safeguard judgment and do righteously ; to care for the sick and suffering ; to support the widow and rear the orphan ; to love the stranger and to release the prisoner from the prison house ; to clothe the naked, feed the hungry and shelter the homeless. He that doeth these things with a free and full heart because of Thee, for him hast Thou treasured up beati- tude and the reward of eternal remembrance among the sons of men. Reader: As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God.

Cong.: When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. Reader: W r hy art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God : for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance. Cong.: O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember Thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill of Mizar. Reader: Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of Thy waterspouts : all Thy waves and Thy bil- lows are gone over me. Cong.: Yet the Lord will command His lovingkind- ness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. Reader: I will say unto God my rock, Why hast Thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 366 MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR Cong.: As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me ; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? Reader: Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise Him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. Choir. From Psalm 49. Reader: Hear this, all ye people ; give ear, all ye in- habitants of the world. Cong.: Both low and high, rich and poor, together. Reader: My mouth shall speak of wisdom ; and the meditation of my heart shall be of under- standing. Cong.: Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of them that would supplant me compasseth me about? Reader: They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches ; Cong.: None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him. Reader: For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others. Cong^: Their inward thought is that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations. THE DAY OF ATONEMENT 367 Reader: But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for He shall receive me.

Thou shelterest the children of men under the shadow of Thy wings. Thou satisfies! them abundantly with the richness of Thy house and causest them to drink of the stream of Thy delights. A good name is better than precious ointment : and the clay of death than the day- of one's birth. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: 368 MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. O Lord and Father, with feelings of reverence and love, we recall to-day the memory of those dear to us, who in Thine almighty wisdom have been called away from this earth. May the recollection of their good deeds arouse us to the performance of righteous and noble acts ; and as we rehearse their names to-day, may we unfalteringly place reliance upon Thy fatherly affection, that Thou wilt cherish their souls in eternal life. (The names of the departed may be mentioned here,) (Psalm 121.) Reader: I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

Therefore, O God, do we beseech Thee at this closing hour of our Day of Atonement when wearied with the consciousness of our faultiness we come again to beseech Thy favor that Thou wilt place in our hearts the conviction that Thou hast pardoned our sins. Help us, O heavenly Father, to placate our ene- mies, to assuage grief, to cement our friendships and to bring peace between those who are at vari- ance with one another.

O God of mercy and love, if we place not our hopes upon Thee, who will have pity upon us? Therefore if Thou inquire into our iniquity we will flee from Thy justice to Thy clemency.

Lead us not into temptation and deliver us from all evil. Direct our lips in the utterance of our meditations and teach us to guard our ways that we sin not. Yet, O God, we know that the good works of those who supplicate Thee must precede them and that righteousness, that alone ex- alts, must plead in their favor. We know that we are not perfect, neither are we utterly bad, there- fore do we beseech Thee not to cast us away from Thy presence. And when we depart from this world, O guide us in peace to the future life and place us in glory among the pious whose portion is immortality. O, rescue us from out the depths of material and selfish thoughts, and then will \ve each say, "I will give thanks unto the Lord, for though Thou wast angry with me, Thine anger was turned away and Thou hast comforted me."

Yea, when compared with Thee, our works are void and our lives but vanity. From the very first, Thou didst set man apart and grant him the privilege to plead with Thee. Who can inquire into Thy works? And if his search be justified, what can he grant Thee? But in Thy great love Thou hast given us, O Lord our God, (this Sabbath day and) this Day of Atone- ment, on which we end our sinfulness and receive pardon and forgiveness for all our iniquities. Thus dost Thou enable us to forsake wrong-doing and return to the performance of those deeds which are pleasing in Thy sight. O do Thou, in Thine abundant mercies, have pity upon us, for Thou canst not take pleasure in the destruction of Thy children.

Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. But Thou, O God of pardon, art gracious and merciful, long-suffering and full of compas- sion and abounding in goodness. Thou art pleased with the repentance of sinners but takest no de- light in their deaths. And Thou hast declared through Thy prophets: Say unto them, as I live, saith the Lord, I take no delight in the death of the sinner but would have him turn from his ways and live. Therefore turn ye, O turn ye, from your erring ways, for why will ye die, O house of Is- rael ! I have no pleasure in death, saith the Lord, therefore turn ye and live. Our God and God of our fathers, pardon our iniquities (on this Sabbath day, andj on this Day of Atonement; blot out our transgressions and our sins, and make them pass away from before Thine eyes; as it is said, I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for Mine own sake; and I will not remember thy sins. And it is said, I have blotted out, as a cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a mist, thy sins: return unto Me, for I have redeemed thee. And it is said, For on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins shall ye be clean before the Lord. (Our God and God of our fathers, ac- cept our rest.)

Blessed art Thou, O Lord, Thou King Who pardonest and forgivest our iniquities and the in- iquities of Thy people, the house of Israel, Who makest our trespasses to pass away year by year, King over al! the earth who sanctifieth (the Sabbath and) Israel and the day of Atonement.

We give thanks unto Thee, for Thou art the Lord our God and God of our fathers for ever and ever; Thou art the Rock of our lives, the Shield of our salvation through every generation. We will give thanks unto Thee and declare Thy praise for our lives which are committed unto Thy hand, and for our souls which are in Thy charge, and for Thy miracles, which are daily with us, and for Thy wonders and Thy benefits which Thou bestowest upon us at all times, evening, morn and noon. O Thou Who art all-good, whose mercies fail not; Thou, merciful Being, Whose loving- kindness never ceaseth, we have ever hoped in Thee. For all these favors Thy name, O our King, shall Thy name be blessed for ever and ever.

Our God and God of our fathers, bless us with the three- fold blessing of Thy Law written by the hand of Moses Thy servant, which was spoken by Aaron and his sons, the priests, Thy holy people, as it is said, The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: the Lord make His face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: the Lord turn His face unto thee, and give thee peace. Grant peace, welfare, blessing, grace, loving- kindness and mercy unto us and unto all Israel, Thy people. Bless us, O our Father, even all of us together, with the light of Thy countenance ; for by the light of Thy countenance Thou hast given us, O Lord our God, the Law of life, lovingkind- ness and righteousness, blessing, mercy, life and peace; and may it be good in Thy sight to bless Thy people Israel at all times and in every hour with Thy peace. The following is said by Congregation and repeated by Reader: IN the book of life, blessing, peace and good sus- tenance may we be remembered and sealed be- fore Thee, we and all Thy people the house of Israel, for a happy life and for peace.
