THE MEGIllAH.
Why the Book of Esther Means so
Much to the Jewish People.

Why the Book of Esther Means so
Much to the Jewish People.
Purim has developed into fes-
tival of many aspects in modern Jew
ish life. 1t is the time when the rich
remember the poor, when friends re-
member one another. when children
learn that religion has its professional
and amusing aspects. and when the
position of Jews in the dispersion is
seen to be typified i'm the biblical mar
rative
But perhaps the most characteriS-
tic feature of the festival is the read
ing of the Megillah both in the home
and i'm the synagogue service. The
narrative thus read or told is one Of
the most striking and most effective
stories of the world, even regarded as
a story. 1t records the ups and
downs of interesting persons and ap-
pedls thus to what Stevenson calls
the aleatory instincts of mankind.
1t is well known that servant girls
are especially pleased to read the dime
novel which tells Of the rise in for
tune of one of their own class. who
marries marquis or a millionaire,
according to the locale of the story.
So, too. we all care to read of the
rise in fortunes of a deserving young
man who becomes the right hand Of
a great merchant or prince.
A similar interest attaches to the
careers of Esther and Mordecai i'm the
narrative of the Megillah. Of which we
can never get tired. The book of
Esther has, of course, another inter-
est for us. 1t records a crisis i'm the
career of the Jewish people and tells
how this was averted by the self
sacrifice of the Jewish maiden rails
ed To the dignity of queen and of her
relative who became viZier or its
equivalent.
Times have rather so far changed
that great events of this kind are not
likely to be Influenced so closely by
single personalities. but Jews at least
have always looked forward to some
such helper as MOrdecai. Every one
who knew the late DR.. HerZl recognize
ed in him just such type of man
who could speak his mind i'm the pres
ence of kings on behalf of his people.
And there may come time when
even the cZar or the king of Ru-
mania may have to defend himself in
presence of some representative Jew
Thus the book of Esther. besides
being an interesting story i'm itself, has
roots deep i'm Jewish feeling ana
Jewish history. and it gives something
of the glow of romano" to the lestl-
val.-American Hebrew.

Planning the Job.

From Columbia they proceeded to
Walhalla. The bank being the Job
in view, Rabens took Mccarthy in and
introduced him to the cashier Of the
bank as manager of the theatre"
conducted by Rabens in Charleston.
Even the stern judge, Ernest Gary.
had to smile when nOnchalantly Nc
Carthy testified that after quick in
spection of the place he told Rabens
that there was not enough money in
the bank to take the risk. The Court
rnay Manufacturing company Of New
ry next was honored with the atten-
tions of the yeggs. This was selected
for the job. Rabens was not present
during the operation. He was but a
fence, to locate a job and to negotiate
the spoil. The dangerous work was
done by Mccarthy. Johnson and John

In the appeal to the supreme court
the defense made a very skillful ar

get new trial for Rabens. This de-
