Most of the people of the world do not
consider their ceremonies, either so-

modification, or substitution. To con-
fine ourselves now to religious cere-
monies, the Orthodox people of the
world who outnumber the liberals in
the ratio of a thousand to one deny
that ceremonies are mere forms secon-
dary to the ideas they are supposed to

our earliest ancestors they were of far
more practical worth. The ceremony
of the lamb bone was intended to
cause the cattle to give birth tee their
young, so that the people might be
plentifully supplied with meat and
milk; and the ceremony of eating un-
leavened wheat bread or matzoh was
intended to cause the soil to produce
the wheat harvest, so that the people
might have plenty of bread. The re-
