seven DAYS. The first and seventh are holy
days. and services are always held at the
synagOgues on those days.

custOmed to open the harvest season by re-
EgiOus feast NO one tasted the new grain,
not even parched or fresh ears ot corn. till
the first sheat had ieen presented TO Jehovah,
and then all hastened TO enjoy the
new blessings of divine goodness by eating
unleavened cakes without waiting for the te-
diOus process of fernenting the dough. This
natural usage became fixed IN custom, and at
a comparatively early date new significance
was added 20 u by q reference 10 the exodus
from Egypt, when, as tradition ran. the peO-
Die in their hasty departure had no time 10
leaven the dough already in their trOughs.
The two elements OF "a thankful recognition
of Gods goodness IN the harvest, which every
one was eager TO taste the moment that
jehovah had received. HIS tribute at the
sanctuary and OF the grateful remembrance
OF the first proof OF his kingship over Israel
were very fittingly together

and accepted the position Of bookkeeper

cured similar position with Harvey, piair

Shortly after Davis left Rand & Barbee's
that firm noticed that there was something
wrong about their books. Entries IN the
expense account which should have been
.l.3j and 54.15 were charged up az Sll.51
and .sli.25. An expert accountant was put
70 work, and 1t WAS ascertained that THESE
false entries ran back through the entire
time Davis was employed there.
On March 81 one OF Rand ~ Barbee's EN-
ployes who happened to be N Harvey, Blair

as an answer that Davis had been in that
