Jeu,ish Holiday
Starts Sunday
PURIM OR THE FEAST OF LOTS
WILL BE CELEBRATED BY THE
HEBREWS.

Purlm, the Feast Of Lots, a half,
holiday in the Jewish calendar, will
be celebrated by the Jewish people
Sunday March %. The Cynagogal
service for this festival is limited to
the reading of the Book Of Esther,
upon the story OF which the celebra.
ton Is based.
Purim celebrates the victory Of
Mordiecai, the faithful Jew over Tam
an, the grand vizier Of the King Aha
suerus, who plotted to destroy the
Jew. Queen Esther had been elevat'
ed to the throne to succeed Vashti
who had displeased the king. Esther
was a most beautiful and virtuous
maiden, and It was through her inter
ventIon with the king that the hero
ism Of Mordecai and the vailliany OF
Haaman was disclosed to him.
The story of the Book OF Esther
reads like q novel, and may or may
not have real historical value. Purim
means lots and the festival is SO
called because the day on which the
destruction of the Hebrews was de-
creed, was chosen by lots.
-Purlm is a time OF general festivity
among the Jews, and like most festi'
walls Of the Jewish calendar, 1t is q
time for the giving Of gifts to the
poor.

the insistenti applause and the en-.
cores were well received.
The molly Coddle" song by the
Glee Club was one of the biggest hits
Of the evening, while the wood man
stunt which several members Of the
Glee Club worked was received with
much enthusiasm. The bows came on
marching stih legged as though they
were wooden men and were lined up
in approved fashion, after which they
proceeded to give an imitation Of the
music Of a pipe organ. One Of the
members Of the club used achair arm
for hey board. When oncored, the
boys came on, standing !lose to each
ether, and when the leader pushed
the front may, the entire club fell to
the stage as though one had lined up
many dominoes and then pushed down
the first one, each successive man
knocking down the man behind him.
The music furnished by the combin.
ed clubs was also well received. After
The performance the members OF the
Senior class together with the mem
bers OF the Music Clubs, were enter.
