181 Digitized by Google i82 THE BUDDHA OF CHRISTENDOM necessity false. " For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink ; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost" ' And if this was true in regard to the cult in which ordinances and the external element filled so large a place, how intensely true must it be of Christianity. Moses was the Buddha of " the Jews* religion." And in externals at least there was no wilful departure from his teaching. Any blunders in this respect were made... honestly and through ignorance. Blunders there were, as for example in the celebration of the Day of the Firstfruits. This error, which has escaped the notice of theologians, destroyed the significance of one of the great characteristic types of the law. The law enjoined that " on the morrow after the Sabbath " of Passover week, the first sheaf of the harvest should be cut and carried to the temple, to be " waved before Jehovah." The true " Day of the Firstfruits," therefore, always fell upon the "first day of the week." But in Ezra's revival, mis- reading the injunction, they took "the Sabbath" lo mean the festival day of the passover.
