Joshua, who evaded it by saying:
"The matter is controversial between

"But according to whom is the law?"
they inquired. "Why do you wish to

crushed?" he replied. (Yeb. 15b.)

Alas! How numerous they are, and
with what malice and with what deaf-

throne, calling upon God to witness
our wickedness and condemn us to
destruction! The defenders are white
angels—the good angels—and they

are, how weak their voices! In vain,'
all in vain, they strive to be heard in

Could anyone viewing this scene or •
witnessing this use of the shofar as
a stimulus to prayer and repentance— I
could anyone behold this picture and
suspect that the original function of
the shofar had nought to do with wor-
.hip or holiness? The shofar is un-
doubtedly the oldest musical instru-
ment in use and its original employ-
ment was neither for art nor for re-
ligion, but for war. It was an instru-
went of alarm like the tuba of the
Romans, the pibroch of the Highland- I
era, ar our own modern bugle. The
shofar is the most primitive, the cru-
drat of all these. It takes us back to'
that early prehistoric day when our .
ancestt rs were shepherds driving their . )
flocks through the thirsty wilderness
of Arah‘a, wandering from one scrub-
by patch of grass to another. Those
rugged nomad progenitors of ours took
advantage of the natural wind-instru-
ment furnished by the horns of the
ram and the he-rviat. Carefully they
removed the horn from the head of the
slaughtered animal, scraping away
the tissue which clung to it. They,
soaked the horn in hot water until it 1
