tion imminent. But there is a deeper meaning to this Haggadah-.
It is,-on the one hand; that mankind, like the individual, cannot
be redeemed by virtue.of a half-way, vacillating righteousness;
on the other hand, that there is a course beyond which wicked-
ness cannot run, for it is self-destroying, and on reaching its
. climax, must give way to a course that is fundamentally good,
a course that has the redeeming qualities in it. Messiah, accordr
ing to this .deeper meaning of the Haggadah is the personifica-
tion of the redeemable qualities that are latently present in the
human race, which may be obscured and thwarted for a time,
but not entirely destroyed.

of the Jew, it has never been wholly guilty until the close of the
