You all know, or should know, tho
jewish people had a splendid temple
In Jerusalem. The Syrians had taken
this and used it for all kinds Of
wrong purposes. When Judah won his
first victory he had the temple clean
ed out well. The story tells us that he
found a little bottle Of oil somewhere
hidden away, and with this he ignited
the lights before the altar and there
was enough oil to keep the lights
burning for a week. In memory OF
this each year at Chanuka we light

After Master Byck's address, Teas

enheimer and was followed by the rec
itation "Drifted Out to Sea" by Mary
Hirsch. Inspired by the deeds of Judah
Maccabeas Master Arthur Marks en-
deavored to show the hight of his am
bition by reciting "A Little Soldier.
He was encored and returned to tell
the audience of his experience while
Under the Buggy Seat" and warned
all little boys not to endeavor to learn
the mysteries of their sisters counting
while occupying the unenviable position
he had recourse to.
To illustrate the resurrection of the
temple, ten little girls dressed in
white grouped themselves around
cross decorated in yellow. The cross
had five arms and on both ends or
each arm was a receptacle for holding
a candle The little ones in turn, re-
cited an appropriate verse and then
placed a candle on the cross. The
last lighted her candle and then ig-
nited the others; then holding hands
they sang the Chanuka hymn. The
burning candles casting their bright
light over the group at the cross
made a pretty picture.
While the orchestra was playing the
last selection on the programme
box of candy was presented to each
member of the Sunday-school
