ministers will discuss the present-day
tendencies to break the Sabbath. In the
societies of young people in the various

ance OF Sunday will be taken up on the

dred organizations will take up the mat.

church where the meeting was held, pre-
sided over the large meeting. and Rev. H.

PREACHER DISBELIEVES
FEEDING OF MULTITUDE

LONDON. November 3O.-Rev. r. j.
Campbell. pastor Of the City Temple, pro-
voked angry Interruptions from his con-
gregation while preaching in the temple
today. He asked his hearers II they
really believed in literal sense the story
of Christ feeding the multitude.
1.-THE feeding of the multitude was not
a feeding of the body, but feeding of
the soul with the bread of life," he said.
ut is beautiful symbol, but the beauty
is destroyed and the teaching ruined when
you seek to reduce it to a physical plane"
The clergyman was here interrupted by
cries of moi" But he asked to be al
lowed to continue, and his request was
granted. Then he said:
IF Christ came to London today He
would not be received gladly by His
church. He would be regarded as revo-
lutionary trying to upset the established
order in both church and state.
He would not attempt to perform the
miracle of feeding a multitude in the East
End with physical food. but He would
strike deep and hard at tie causes which
make poverty and degradation"
This part Of the address was applauded.

HANNUKKAH LIGHTS TO
BURN IN HEBREW HOMES

The celebration OF the Feast OF Lights
began last evening in the Jewish places
of worship.
In the Hebrew this festival is known
as Hannukah 1t lasts eight days. dur.
ing which work Of any and all kinds
may be done. In spite of the fact that as
far as work is concerned. Hannukkah re-
sembles all other days of joy for the
Jews. 1t Is the celebration in honor Of
the successful overthrow of the foreign
yoke by the Jews under the leadership
of the old priest. Mattahias. and his
sons, known as the Maccabees, in 1853
B. c.
Hannukkah is picturesque festival and
is called often the festival of illumna-
ton or of lights. Every evening for eight
days the "Hannukkah lights" adorn the
Jewish homes. Linked with the custom
of lighting the "Hannukkah lights" are
picturesque legends and supposed mir
aces. One of these is the story OF the
cruise of holy Oil found in the temple at
Jerusalem. According to this tradition,
when the Jews returned to the temple
to dedicate the altar again and to purify
eight days until new supplies could be-
made.
The feast of Maccabees is one of the
most important national holidays Of the
Jews. The Maccabees always are re-
garded reverently by the children of Is
rael for their boundless courage and
for their successful arousing of Jew
ish feeling. The history of their insurrec-
ton of their fight for the freedom of their
country is read during the Feast of Mac
cabees The children are told about the
national heroes.
During the eight days of Hannukkah
gifts are presented to children, feasts
and banquets are held, and among the
Jews of various parts of the world gifts
are exchanged Children as a rule count
the days from 1.-THE autumn holidays for
the arrival of the Feast of Maccabees.
which means to them a great deal. 1t is
customary among Jews to gladden. the
hearts of children with gifts when they
are too young to understand the real
causes Of rejoicing of their elders.
