Comb OF Moroecat ano Esther.

This tomb is situated in an open and central part
of the town of Hamadan, Persia, and is enclosed in
a mosque-like structure of b%rickwork, and this again
is surrounded by a fence of sandalwood, which is a
masterpiece of Persian carving. Here rests the NOR
tai remains of the great queen and of her pious uncle.
Every new moon the tomb is decorated with
flowers by the Jewesses of Hamadan, and that often
it is also believed with tears. Especially large is the
number of Jewish pilgrims who flock thither on the
anniversary of the fast of Esther, when the tomb is
lighted up with numerous oil lamps and wax candles.

This done they repair in a body to the illuminated
synagogue, where the Book Of Esther is recited.
And the deafening shouts, the stamping of feet, and
the Kisses that one hears each time the name of
Hannah is mentioned, are certainly not becoming in
the house of Goo, but one must not be too hard
upon the Jews, of Hamadan for caterwauling once a
year the arch-antisernite and Jew devourer.
1t is very painful to witness the havoc which the
English missionary societies are doing among the
Jews of Hamadan. Almost all the missionaries in
that town, of whom there is a large number, are
native Jews, who continue to live among their rela-
tions and former co-religionists. They are thus
enabled to seduce their brethren from the faith of
their fathers with greatest ease and rapidity, and
still more SO, because they don't figure as Christians
at all. They frequent the synagogues and schools,
observe the dietary laws, and only differ from the
Jews with regard to the advent of the Messiah.

guests. The expression, my duty and my privilege
must have beer coined by him his belief in a loving
God laid UPON him the obligation to show kindness,
and his warm heart found it's delight in the com
panonship Of those whom he could benefit. We see
already in the Bible how active he was in ministering
to the angels; how he even ran towards them to
bring them into his tent, and how he FASTENED to
slaughter an OK for them. The Talmud tells us that
Abraham had doors on all sides of his tent, so that
a man need not go out the way he entered; thereby,
he would not be detected as having been a recipient
of charity.
Most of the legends deal with Abraham's life in
Canaan, but l have found one that goes back to the
time when he dwelt east of the Euphrates. In 'Haran,
he seems to have had a heart and a house as large
as the Waldorf, of New York. Strangers stopping
in the city were urged to come in and strengthen
themselves for their journey. Many wanted to pay
for their refreshment, but the host would not accept
anything except their thanks whereupon they would
say, Surely God will pay you for the kindness you
have shown us"
At this time there ruled in Mesopotamia the power
full Nimrod, known as a warrior and as a hunter.
This king really deserved credit for his administra-
tive and executive abilities but, conceiving too high
an opinion of himself, he issued a decree that every
one should worship him, and even fall on their knees
at mention of the monarch's name. Abraham, how
ever, would not pay homage in such fashion to the
tyrant, and said it was improper to worship any one
but the Maker of heaven and earth.
The king wanted very badly to get Abraham out
of the way, but the latter had won the love of the
people, and any violent action against him might
have provoked an uprising. So Nimrod called a
council to determine what should be done. At last
they hit upon the plan to get even with the man
whom they feared to kill outright. Nimrod and fifty
of his servants disguised themselves as merchants of
India, and Travelled to 'Haran. They soon found the
wayto Abraham's hosiery, and asked for admission.
Accommodation was provided for them, and the best
kind of foo was placed before them. Everything
they called for they got. And they were not bashful
at all their purpose was to eat the r host out of his
house, seeing that he must maintain his reputation
for hospitality by not charging them a single penny.
So they stayed there a whole week without ruf1ng
