Para. 1, [LOOKING].
Why was not this sufficient to dispose of them? Was not
the sinner forgiven? and was not that all that was required?
Is it not said that the priest should take the offering
of the sinner, and with it make an atonement for his
soul? -- True, so far as the individual sinner was concerned,
his sin was atoned for, as an individual, by the
offering brought to the priest. But, as has been shown,
that was not the destruction of the sin. The sinner was
pardoned because the sin was taken from him. But it went to
the offering, and then to the sanctuary; and hence some
further action in reference to it was necessary. Sins could
not be allowed to accumulate in the sanctuary forever.
Hence the question becomes an interesting and important
one. What disposition was finally made of these sins, and
what became of them? A search for the answer to this question
brings us to the second great division of the sanctuary
work, which was-- p. 90, Para. 2, [LOOKING].
The Cleansing of the Sanctuary. -- To this division of the
ministration, one day in the year was devoted. It was the
tenth day of the seventh month, and was the crowning day of
the yearly service. It was called the day of atonement, because
it was the great day of expiation. On this day, in
contrast with the individual atonements of the year, a general
atonement was made for all the people. It was a day of
unusual solemnities. Its object was to take away sins from
the people and from the sanctuary. It had to do with all
the people; for all were to afflict their souls, and whosoever
would not afflict his soul on that day, was to be cut
off from among his people. Lev. 23:27,29. the ministrations
of this day thus, in a certain sense, called up all the
sins of all the people for the preceding year, for final
adjudication. And to this, doubtless, Paul refers when he
says: "But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again
made of sins every year." Heb. 10:3. The daily ministration,
already examined, was the means by which sins were
borne into the sanctuary; the day of atonement reversed the
process, and shows us the means by which they were borne
out. p. 91, Para. 1, [LOOKING].
The principal feature of the service of this day was the
ministry in the second apartment, or most holy place, of
the sanctuary. This apartment, where the ark and the law
and the mercy-seat were to be found, and where the Shekinah,
or the visible display of God's presence, was mani-
