For the IHrELLIeKNc1R
From Saturday evening, 21st inst, the
eve of the 18th day of the first month
(Nissan), the children of all Israel in all
zones and climes celebrate for seven days
the Feast Of Passover, or feast OF unleav-
ened bread, in obedience to the divine
law, Exodus xiii, ) to 8; xiii, 10 ;
XVI, 1S Leviticus xiii, to 5 Deut.
XVII, l to 5. Tue millions of 1sraelites
render praise aud thanks to the Almighty
that He redeemed our fathers from Eyyp-
tiau bondage, led them from slavery to
liberty, from night to light, from moral
aud political death to the pinnacle ot
moral influence and national Importance.
The day when the first free nation on the
records of history was born is highly i'm =
portant to every friend Of humanity and
this day was the 18th of Nissan, 1852. B.
G. This day is the FIRST of the Feast of
Passover. A nation, suffering for ceptu-
ries the wrongs inflicted on it by despotic
and unjust dynasty OF kings, rises against
its OppreSsOrs by divine command liberty
and justice triumph for the first time in
history, injustice and despotism are duly
punished ; this is the cause Of the Pass
| over Feast as such it is feast of liberty
and humanity.
The nation which should bring to man
kind the three most important pillars Oi
| ivl!Ization-religiOn, morals and laws
vas born the 18th day of Nissan, 1892, B
c., was wrested from the tyraut's iron
embrace to become the banner bearer of q
| divine message to mankind; was saved
from the glowing embrace of slavery tC
proclaim to the world the rights of man
tho image Of God; was elevated from the
dust to overthrow the idols and theil
affairs, the hierarchy in heaven and Oh
earth; the despotism of the kings aDG
priests and the iron fate of the gods, ant
set in place thereof the significant anC
prolific terms, ''God, understanding, JUS
tice and liberty" This day is the Passacl
feast of Israel, q day important to all man
kind.
| And since then (33 centuries hlv,
eiapsed), Israel. faithful to its vocation
has told every Passach night the story 0
liberty and independence, the story o
justice and humanity, to it's attentive chill
dren, and still tells the same story; but
mankind would not listen to it. Whel
oppression and violence ruled supreme, ths
Israelite barred his door and closed hi
windows and related in secret to his chill
dren the grand story Of liberty, justict
and equality, his message to mankind, and
felt that the time must come when th'
nations would listen to his long told story
cast off their idols of silver and their idol
of gold, their priests and their despOt'
| C"GOd alone be exalted that day !') an(
learn to appreciate the message of justice
liberty and piety,
Among the millions of human beings
there are but few who comprehend ant
appreciate this message the rest are ye
enslaved. Therefore, go on, Israel, ant
reiterate thy old story of redemption, o
justice and liberty until they all listen
" And the glory of God be revealed, AM
all flesh together see that tho mouth o
the Lord spake." Go on and tell it to th
sons that it be not forgotten that God in
terfered in behalf of justice, liberty an
humanity !; that all mankind may See
aud be redeemed. Go on and tell th
children That every man must COZ
slider himself, as we'll as he would hav
gone out from Egypt"
