Joy and gladness lie more internal; the mirth
is the more immediate result of external circum-
stances. What creates joy and gladness is of a
permanent nature; that which creates mirth is tem-
porary; joy is the most vivid sensation in the soul;
gladness is the same in quality, but inferior in de-
gree; joy is awakened in the mind by the most
important events in life; gladness springs up in
the mind on ordinary occasions. Joy is depicted
on the countenance, or expresses itself by various
demonstrations: gladness is a more tranquil feeling,
which is enjoyed in secret, and seeks no outward
expression; mirth displays itself in laughter, sing-
ing, and noise. (Crabb: Eng. Synon.)

I. Ordinary Language:

1. In the same sense as II. 1.

2. Any season of great public rejoicing or festivity; any occasion of joy or rejoicing.

"It will not whisper, but proclaim a jubilee to the mind."-South: Sermons, vol. i., ser. 1.

3. Joy, rejoicing, exultation. (Scott: Lady of the Lake, vi. 6.) 4. The fiftieth anniversary of some event of public interest or importance. The jubilee of Queen Victoria, who ascended the English throne June 20, 1837, was celebrated June 21, 1887. (In this sense used also adjectively.)

II. Technically:

1. Jewish: Properly the trumpet or horn blown in a certain year, or the sound it made; now used more generally for the year itself. It occurred every fiftieth year. Seven was a sacred number, and it became yet more so if multiplied by itself (7X7), after which came the jubilee. There was to be no tillage or harvest that year (Levit. xxv. 11, 12). Any descendant of those among whom Joshua partitioned the land who, from poverty, had parted with his property, was to receive it back (xxv. 13-34; xxvii. 16-24); and those Israelites who were the slaves of their brethren, or of foreigners resident within the land, were to go free (xxv. 39-54). The Jubilee seems to be alluded to in Ezek. xlvi. 17; Isa. Ixi. 1,2; Neh. v. 1-19; cf. also Num. xxxvi. 4, 6, 7; 1 Kings xxi. 1-4); but no historic description, in the Bible or elsewhere, of a jubilee actually kept in a particular year has descended to our times.

"It shall be a yere of jubelye vnto you."-Leviticus XXV (1551.)

2. Roman Catholic: A feast first instituted in A. D. 1300 by Boniface VIII., who proposed that it should be celebrated at the commencement of each succeeding century; Clement VI. enacted that it should recur every fifty years, and Urban VI., in 1389, that it thould be every thirty-three years. Paul II. reduced the period to a quarter of a century, and since his time there has been no alteration. A pilgrimage to Rome was the original condition of obtaining the indulgence promulgated at a jubilee, but latterly this has been commuted. There was no jubilee in 1800, the Holy See being vacant.

"Now every twenty-fifth year is a year of jubilee."

1. Law: The National and State systems of ju dicature in this country comprise in their list of officers judges of various degrees of dignity and of widely variant functions. In most of the states the most numerous class are the presiding officers of

courts of oyer and terminer, hustings courts, criminal courts, courts of correction, &c., the names given similar tribunals in the different commonwealths varying. They have in most instances both criminal and (to a certain extent) civil jurisdiction, but in other cases are restricted entirely to one or the other function. Of a higher dignity than these are the circuit judges, who in some commonwealths have large supervisory and reviewing powers, while the whole system is presided over by the judges of the supreme state courts. The United States judges range in dignity from district to supreme court officials. Judges are recipients of office in divers ways- -some being elected by the people, others by the legislature; and yet others are appointed by the President or by governors of the states.

2. Jewish Hist. (pl.): Certain remarkable individ uals raised up in Israel after the death of Joshua and prior to the establishment of the Jewish monarchy. At that time there was little unity among the tribes, each of which, like a Scottish Highland clan, looked up to its own individual chief, and not often to any higher human authority. Some judges owed their power to having been the first to rise against foreign oppression, which they overthrew; others discharged only peaceful functions. acted in the Jewish theocracy as vicegerents of Jehovah. The series of events, oftener than once repeated, was first, that the people were seduced into idolatry; next, that as a punishment for this, they were conquered, and placed under the yoke of a foreign oppressor; then a judge arose who under God set them free, and the land had rest normally for forty years.

(1) Ancient Judaism: The earliest form of the Jewish faith was patriarchal (q. v.). On the night of the Israelitish departure from Egypt an essential part of Judaism, in its second or more developed form, was begun by the institution of the passover (Exod. xii. xiii.). At Sinai two tables of stone were given containing the ten commandments. Subsequently there was revealed to Moses, to be by him boil, boy; pout, jowl; cat, çell, chorus, çhin, bench; go, gem; thin, this;

men of that designation. [II.] It consists of five sections: a first introduction (i.-ii. 5), a second one (ii. 6-iii. 6), the main portion or consecutive narrative (iii. 7-xvi. 31), the first appendix (xvii.-xviii.), and the second one (xix.-xxi.). Two authors seem to have been at work upon it, each falling back upon ancient documents. The first wrote i.-iii. 6, xvii.-xxi., and the second iii. 7-xvi. 31. The firstmentioned writer never alludes to judges; it is he who uses the expression "in those days there was no king in Israel" (xvii. 6, xviii. 1, xix. 1, xxi. 25), implying that he did not write till kings had been appointed. If the "captivity of the land" (xviii. 80) be the Assyrian or even the Babylonish captivity the book is a late one, though the Aramaisms in it are but few. It has been always accepted as canonical. In the New Testament it is referred to in Acts xiii. 20 and Heb. xi. 32.

Judge is the general term; umpire, arbiter, and arbitrator are only species of the judge. The judge determines in all matters disputed or undisputed; he pronounces what is law for the present, as well as what will be law; the umpire and arbiler are only judges in particular cases that admit of dispute.

Among other steps adopted was to hand over estates as no longer needed to the ecclesiastical authori ties, the reason assigned being thus expressed "Appropinquante mundi termino" (the end of the world being now at hand).

The judgment is that faculty which enables a
person to distinguish right and wrong in general;
discretion and prudence serve the same purpose in
particular cases. The judgment is conclusive; it
decides by positive inference; it enables a person
to discover the truth; discretion is intuitive: it
discerns or perceives what is in all probability
right. The judgment acts by a fixed rule; it ad-
mits of no question or variation; the discretion
acts according to circumstances, and is its own
rule. The judgment determines in the choice of
what is good; the discretion sometimes only guards
against error or direct mistakes; it chooses what
is nearest to the truth. The judgment requires
knowledge and actual experience; the discretion the passing of judgment.
requires reflection and consideration; prudence
looks only to the good or evil which may result
from the thing; it is, therefore, but a mode or ac-
companiment of discretion; we must have prudence
when we have discretion, but we may have prudence
where there is no occasion for discretion. Those who
have the conduct or direction of others require dis-
cretion; those who have the management of their
own concerns require prudence.
