PASSOVER.
Observed by Hebrews Since the
Exodus From Egypt.

Wednesday evening began the
Passover festival, which lasts sew
en- days, with one holiday at it's
beginning and one at it's end and
five intervening half holidays.
According to the Jewish calendar,
it is the eve Of the first spring
month.
This feast, Il appears, was al
ways observed IN Israel since the
days of the exodus from Egypt.
In the closing days of Israel's ma
tional. life it was a most popular
feast. From all parts the Jews
would gather in Jerusalem to eel
citrate the festival of freedom by
bringing as a sacrifice the social
! ed paschal lamb.
Josephus relates that on one
Passover, in the days Of Nero,
over 100000 families were present
in Jerusalem. Though this num-
Der Rev. DR.. Adolf Guttmacher
considers incorrect, the fact re-
mains that a large multitude of
strangers was attracted on the
Passover to the national sanctu-
airy year after year.
The custom of holding a spring
festival to celebrate the revival of
the earth's life for the year dates
of the nations. Scripture makes
that spring festival the time Of Is
rael's redemption from the physi-
cal bondage and the time of Is
rael's national nativity. The
spiritual significance of the feast
is the message of freedom and the
acknowledgment of Gods rule on
earth and the victory of right
eousness over the powers OF evil
During the existence of the
temple every family was enjoined
to bring to the sanctuary lamb.
symbolical of the feast. Today
the family service and meal Use.
DER on the eve of the Passover
has taken the place Of the sacri.
fetal lamb that was eaten roasted
by the whole family. During the
domestic service the Haggadah
(Tale) is read and chanted. This
booklet contains the history of Is,
rael's trials and redemption and
closes with praises in glorificatior
of God, who watches over Israel
and helps the weak and innocent
The unleavened bread and bit
ter herbs, which were eaten with
the paschal lamb and symbolized
the bitter experience in Egypt
and elsewhere have been retained
so also the varied symbolism OF
the hard-boiled egg and of 6
brown mixture of almonds, ap
Piles and nuts, and of dish OF
salt water, in which the herbs are
later dipped. These and four cups
of wine prescribed by the ritua
form a most important part Of
the common family meal.
The day is celebrated as a day
Of thanksgiving. Where the Jew
enjoys liberty he thanks provi
dence for the priceless boon
where he is still languishing il
Egypt he takes courage and is
buoyed up by the thought that
God will help him, even as He
helped his ancestors. Fervently he
exclaims year after year the
words of that evenings ritual
"Though slaves this year, next
year we shall be free.''
The Jews on the eve of the
Passover prays not only for his
own freedom, but knowing what
it meant to have been the persecu.
ted of the nations, the butt of bru.
tally and bigotry, he prays for
all men who are oppressed and
are unjustly treated by their fel.
lows, and he longs for the time
when liberty, equality, justice,
truth and light will rule the
world.

DEFIES HAND OF DEATH
Itinerant Preachers New and Re-
markable Theory.

Robert Weir, preaching last night from
the platform Of the Homeward Bound Mis-
sion, 119 Pennsylvania avenue, declared to
his audience that in few hundred wears
he would return to Washington and toll
them how 1t was that he had lived so long
and was going to live forever. The sneak
er claims to be a divine healer and his
simple rule for others to follow in order
to prolong their lives to eternity was:
Live according to Gods laws"
Great interest, though little faith, was
expressed by his audience in his theory of
eternal life. He told them that it was not
a spiritual, but sensible, bodily life he
proposed to continue, and that it was a
simple thing when sought for after the
manner of his one rule. He will leave
Washington at an early date to make a
pilgrimage and convert others to his be-
