about, except, what was required for the
breakfast on the next morning,one child
was requested % secret four or five
crumbs in different parts of the house
and to positively remember the hiding
places The difficulty was now overcome,
the chOmez was detected, where it had
been placed and at the appointed time
all chomez in town collected by similar
process was publicly burned in Madam
Reizes yard. At the dinnertable of
that day neither leavened nor unleav-
ened bread was served.-All prepara-
tlOns to the festival were now completed
and the Seder-evening with it's many
interesting ceremonies was rather i'm
patiently looked for by the younger
members of the house, at least.
Free from cares and troubles, untram-
melled by loathsome visitations the
child's mind enjoys the pleasure of the
moment unembittered and unimpaired
and thus the recollection of the devotion,
festivities and joyful hymns of the
Seder-evening Of the past Year had re.
manned fresh and glowing in our mem
Ory.
But while the festival was celebrated in
COiHLucHOrdllOn OI Cnc uellNefance OF tne
lsraelites from Egyptian bondage, it
also unrolled before the vision of the
thinking lsraelite scenes Of bloody
events Of many centuries of suffering
and prosecutions, which had followed
the destruction Of the holy City and the
holy Temple, and itreminded them with
equal force of the many abuses, which
they yet daily encountered and of the
many disabilities under which they were
still grOaning.
No wonder then, that prayers for the
restoration of the Temple and ;sh
nationality under the sceptre # b de-
scendant of king David were SEEMINGLY
inseperable from the devotional eEer.
