AJEwIsH FEAST y Yesterday and to day,
The Feast Of Purim is observed by the Israel-
ties everywhere.
The origin of the name of the feast is from
the ''lots' cast by Haman, the Hebrew word
for which is "Purinl,'' and ever since this
teast has been kept up as a season OF rejoicing
10 commemoration of the goodness OF God to
bis people of Israel, whom he has declared,
shall never be Destroyed" even though they
be in the land ''0f their enemies.
Haman, it will be remembered, cast lots
fora day whereon the 1sraelites were to be
eyterminated, because Mordecai refused to
bow down to him as he passed. This hendish
purpose, however, coming to the ears OF the
good queen Esther, through the instrumental
yot Mordecai, she determined, if possible, to
prevent it. Consequently she prepared ban
qnet and invited the king Ahasuerus and his
prime minister, Haman, to attend.
At this banquet, Esther unfolded the tale,
and told the king what wicked man proposed
doing to her people The king, in burst Of
snger, demanded the name OF the inhuman
noLster, whom Esther pointed out in the per-
son OF his minister Haman. Frantic with
rage, the king ordered his immediate execu-
ton on the gallows he was told he had pre-
pared tor Mordecai, and az the laws OF the
Aedes and Persians could not be changed, the
royal proclamation went forth that the Jews
Saoud defend themselves from their enemies
On tue memorable l4th of Adar. But there
MAS little heed of this, for Tear was on the
inhabitants, and instead Of day of sorrow
And Valllng it became one Of JOY and feasting,
aud so ordered to be observed.
