.PUR|M AND
 ITS OBSERVANCE Masquerade Ball and Sup per to be Given in City
 to Celebrate It.
FROM BOOK OF ESTHER
Originates Form Story in Whicl Bravery of Esther and Her Un-
 cle Avoided Persecution.

Purim, a very popular minor hOli- day will be observed Tuesday night by the Jewish people of this city with masquerade ball and supper at the Bluff City Club. It is the traditional holiday for masking and making mer. ry.
 The more serious nature of the fes- tival will be emphasized by a specia musical service at the Temple on Friday night, the 10th. The deta Is of tine service are given in another column of this issue.
 Purim, or the Feast of Lots, finds l it's entire story and purpose told with fine dramatic fervor and power in the Biblical Book of Esther. What ever literary and historical criticism may deduce, we are certain that a threatened persecution, fortunately averted by the combined bravery oi Esther and her uncle, Mordeca, was the underlying fact upon whic, tais feast was built.
 1 During the fifth century. B. G., the Jews were living happily under Per- sian rule. Mordecai, who sat in the 1 Kings gate as proof of his loyalty to the realm, had incurred the hatred of the Prime Minister, Haman, before whom he refused to bow in servile obeisanca To Mordecai such bend ing of the knee was slavery and idol atry Haman construed it not as a purely personal d scourtesy but as sign of disloyalty to the Crown. Subsequent sevents. which demon strated Mordecia's loyalty of the king, whose life he saved, only serv- ed to add fuel to Haman's determin- ation to wreck vengeance upon him His plan involved not only the dis comfiture of his arch-enemy by the means of the gallows, but also the destruction of all the Jews in the kingdom of one hundred and twenty seven provinces.
