THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
PASSOVER
BY Archie III. Cohen.

Passover, that day which is com
monty understood to be the day
of our deliverance from bondage.
Ii that is true, then why are
we the only people with the eXcep-
ton of the negroes, the most re-
Gently emancipated people who
observe a holiday of that nature?
(And by the way this is only in
the South For most all people
in existence today, have at one
time or another throughout the
different years of history been
slaves and are all free people
today And we hear Of no cele-
bration as a memorial Of the day
or time of their emancipation.
1t may be that with other ma
tions, their deliverance being cen
turtles old has been forgotten and
their liberty accepted as a matter
of course. If that is so, then the
emancipation of the Jews is still
older than the most nations on
earth; and why this rejoicing for:
$500 years, every year as the day
arrives? For apparently all other
people who were freed had more
to be thankful for than the Jew
All other people were elevated
from slavery to so-called equal
rights or citizenship on their own
soil, while the Jew celebrates the
event of his escape from a home
into the wilderness Of Africa.
Other people were allotted land
while the Jew escaped and left be-
hind for his oppressors that which
people generally fight for and are
thankful for, land and home
But there may be a reason for us
in rejoicing more than for theirs
For in no nation can we find 6
parallel to the Jew. Wherever {
people were emancipated they
still remained in the land of THEN
former slavery and the pressing il
fuence always hung heavy OF
them.
But the Jew left behind his OPP
pressors and went to make TO
himself home in foreign lands
Most all people have after thei
emancipation as with the negroe
were still slaves only in differ
emit form. But the Jews rose fro1
slavery to be master at one strok'
And still, if that would be al
this holiday would have been lon
forgotten. But the real signi1
ance of this holiday emancipatio

mer masters, not so with the jew.
When the Jew was once free, Pro
violence so guided him as to put
safe distance between him and his
former masters, so as to wipe out
all traces of ever having been
slaves. At the same time to erase
all customs and influence under
which they had been living here
tofore. To be sure it took them
many years of pneumatic life, it
took two generations to change all
that, but when they entered Ca
nan they were clean as new born
babes. Yes, it is the spiritual
freedom for which by right we be
thankful for and with just cause
we may say not only the Jews but
the world at large may celebrate
with us.
But what does this holiday sig
nifty to the Jew, which, different
from all nations, is that we're not
only delivered from body slavery
but our soul WITS freed. The Jews
were free to think for themselves
and they adopted the grandest re-
ligion of all faiths, the belief in
one Supreme Being on earth and
Heavens above, God Almighty.
They have risen from the potion
rung of the ladder to the top and
their morals and beliefs are the
most elevating and inspiring of all
religions on earth.
For the Jew never established
a monopoly on wisdom and right
eousness. Yea, he treated his
neighbors with those blessed gifts
which his God blesseth him. Yes,
it is through the Jew that the
unity of God was proclaimed to
the world. The holy day of rest
for master and slave as we'll as
the beast was established by the
Jew. And as we'll as all other
commandments which are abidec
by Jew and Gentle alike. Thus
laid the Jew the foundation O:
that great structure Of civiliza
ton. In that wide desert of Sa
hara the Jews had ample room t.
develop a spirit. When we lool
over the Holy Bible with all it,

Austin, Jan. 21-At joint meeting
