The FEAST OF PuIuM-THE JEWISH
THANKsGivING.-The observance Of the
Jewish feast Of iPurim commenced Mon.
day evening and closed last evening. This
is thanksgiving festival instituted by
NIordecai and Esther in Commemoration
of the escape from destruction of the
Israelitish nation 2 1928 years ago, when
they were residing in the dominions of
King Allasucrus, the Persian monarch.
The entire history Of the occurrence com.
mcmoratcd will be found in tho book Of
Esther, where is described the machina.
tons Of Hannah, the Agagitc and kings
counsellor, and how these Vaccinations
were ovcrthrown by Queen Esther. HI.
man sought the destruction Of tho PEG.
pie, and had even obtained o special dc.
cree for that purpose from the king.
This edict could not bcrcvoked according
to the law Of tho Modes and the Persians,
which ,altereth not, but on the interposi-
ton Of the queen the Jews were allowed
to defend themselves. Scvcnty.six thou.
sand Persians attacked the Israclites, who
made defence and slew all that number
who made the attempt.
This was the 357th year before the
birth Of Christ, and ever since that time
no one who called himself a Jew permit.
ted the season TO pass without some com.
memorative services. The instructions
for the observance Of the festival include
the command to eat, drink and be merry,
to meet in the synagogue, to thank God
for the overthrow Of Humans plot, and
also for the existence Of the nation, and to
give liberty to the poor. g..
Whenever the Jews have foothold
strong enough to erect synagogue, the
occasion is observed. They assemble in
their synsgogues the first evening, where,
with other services, the book Of Ester is
read in the hearing Of oil present. This
is repeated tho following morning. Dur.
ing the ensuing week, and even for
longer period, the evenings arc given up
to entertainments at one another's houses,
and 10 family reunions and social enjoy.
ments. Distributions of gifts to friends
and relatives form a distinctive mark Of
the ceremonies of this festival.
