"Out of the Depths I cry unto thee O Lord, listen to my Voice."
These are the quiet words of this Evening's ritual & they are not words that are lightly spoken but give us the idea of a person in an anguis of Spirit desperately appealing to to a judge to deal with him leniently. there is no preamble it is a direct spontaneous prayer of a man who is suffering the Consequencies of his sins with all their attendent misery & wretchedness. It is the picture of a man lashed & lacerated by remorse which the memory of years of misspent life brings to him & the soulful yearning for one more opportunity to atone before his maker & vindicate his Character.

There is no other occasion on which the Jew feels so near his God as on this Eve - for he is more intent upon the Service & indeed much more sincere in his [illegible-tions]. What appeals to this Jew is profoundly on the Atonement Day is its absolutely human aspect which is alive beyond all Creed. It is a problem of worldwide interest that engages our solemn attention this Evening. Problem of Sin & pain to Atonement & for [illegible]. Ruled by passions yielding weakly to temptation & money. Slaves of degrading desire men feel their moral strength
