In Homes and Synagogues.

Beginning April I, and lasting for one
week, Passover will be celebrated in Jew
ish homes and synagogues all over the
country This. the oldest feast of the
Jewish calendar. dates back $500 years.
The awakening of spring has it's nor
NAL appeal and it's practical symbolism
to every primitive people The agricul-
tural aspect of this holiday is seen in the
phrase THAT it is to be kept in the sea-
son of the month of ripenings." when the
barley sown in winter has become ripe,
and when an Offering consisting of an
omer (one-half gallOn) of barley was
brought in gratitude to the Giver OF all
good
The historical significance of the fes-
tiyal has overshadowed it's agricultural
aspect AS the Feast of Freedom it CON-
memorates the emancipation of Israel
from Ecyptian bondage and his entrance
into the dignity and destiny of national
life. 1t thus marks the birth OF the be
brew people and the first commonwealth.
Here TWO million people walked forth as
free citizens without a drop OF blood
