The practical distinction between holy and pure would seem to FULFILMENT I93 seeth Like; purity recognizes Holiness. Purity of heart is the final outcome of the single eye, of the concentrated purpose; in it they are completed. It is to he regretted that in common speech the words ''pure" and "chaste" are so often used as synonymes. A pure woman means to many simply a chaste woman. " Chaste, " however, is a word of sig- nificance inferior to " pure. " It finds apt illustration in the word ''cas...te, " which is identical in deriva- tion. Caste is a European word, applied by Euro- peans to the system in India known to us by that name. It requires freedom from outward defilement; such as the "common" and "unclean" from which the Jews kept themselves. ' Such observance is cere- monial and formal. It may have value, provided that it be not merely formal; that the inner purpose correspond to that which the outward observance symbolizes. Forms are good, if they preserve and enshrine the spirit of which they should be the em- bodiment.
