bound up in their clothes upon their
shoulders. And the children Of Israel
did according to the word Of Moses;
and they asked of the Egyptians
Jewels of gold, and raiment; and
sight of the Egyptians, SO that they
let them have what they asked. And

A New Era for a Nation.
The sun set that day v a COM
pany OF Hebrew bondmen. The next
morning it rose over a free nation.
The Passover is the independence day
of the Jew. 1t marks the beginning
Of the new era. The observance Is
good craftsmanship, as we'll as a wise
religious observance. Even SO do ma
tons today mark their great days
and commemorate their great men.
The family life OF the Jew was
solicited and made sacred by this
Passover memorial; even as today the
family altar binds the home into q
oneness such as is promoted by no
other single function. But the Pass
over did more. This common usage,
accentuating a common history and
a common delivery. has unified the
Hebrew people. It has been one
means for the welding together Of
the Jews, who have been called "the
miracle of history" since they have
maintained their identity through
all the centuries. This common me-
mortal supper binds the rich and the
poor together; it makes the Roths-
childs Of London and Paris one with
hesoppressed Jews In Kisheneff.
The mysterious solidarity of the
Jews makes Zionism a determining
factor in all oriental politics. As q
man from the east said to me the
other ,day, apropos Of foolish war
talk III the states: Nowadays no
nation can go to war unless financed
by Jewish bankers. and the Jewish
bankers will not lend money to any
nation which has given refuge to
their oppressed fellow Hebrews, even
as America and Great Britain have
done"
The first high purpose Of this great
Passover feast was to stress the fact
that the Jews were chosen people,
with a peculiar. mission for God In
the world. It set them apart as re-
cipients Of the divine favor and care,
and c%ustodians Of the truth of the
n God, supreme over all the ma
tons. .

the morning. For Jehovah will pass
over the door, and will not suffer the
destroyer to come in unto your houses
to smite you, And We shall observe
this thing for an Ordinance, to thee
and to thy sons forever. And it shall
come to pass, when We are come to
the land which Jehovah will give you,
according as he hath promised, that
We shall keep this service. And it

I'VE who passed over the houses of
the children of Israel in Egypt, when
he ,smote the Egyptians, and delivered
our houses. And the people bowed
the head and worshipped. And the
children Of Israel went and did SO; as
Jehovah had commanded Moses and
Aaron, SO did they.
And 1t came to pass at midnight,
that Jehovah smote all the first-born
in the land Of Egypt, from the first
born of Pharaoh that sat on his throne
unto the first-born Of the captive that
was in the dungeon: and all the first
born Of cattle. And Pharaoh rose up
in the night, he, and all his servants,
and all the Egyptians; and there was
a great cry in Egypt; for there was
not a house where there was not one
dead. And he called for Moses and
Aaron by night, and said. Rise up, get
you forth from among my people, both
We and the children of Israel; and go,
serve Jehovah as We have said. Take
both your flocks and your herds, as
We have said, and be gone; and bless
me also. And the Egyptians were
urgent upon the people. to send them
out Of the land in haste; for they said,
W. are all dead men. And the people
took their dough before 1t was leav-
ened. their kneading troughs being

which has been mistaken by the
crashing to ruin of all the empires
that have lived since Moses first in
st1tuted the ceremony, is a marvel OF
history. The Passover has lived
through the rise and fall of all the
world conquerors. It has seer
philosophy and science transformed.
Marvellous inventions, in continents
~undreamed Of at it's birth, have not
affected the Passover. It was old
before Buddha or Confucius was
born. 1t is NOR ancient than the
Christian era. All venerable things
seem young alongside of this vitalized
rite which today Is kept over the whole
world.
The ChIId's Question.
Once a year, wherever devout Jews
keep the Passover, the children ask,
What e ys by this service?'
Then the head of the house tells the
marvelos story of that dread Egyptian
night. when the chosen people we're
delivered and their oppressors were
punished by the supreme visitation of
heaven. The story is best told in the
words Of holy writ:
Then Moses called for all the
elders Of Israel, and said unto them,
Draw out. and take you lambs accord
ing to your ia antilles, and kill the pass
over. And We shall take a bunch Of
hyssop, and dip 1t in the blood that is
in the basin, and strike the Intel and
the two side posts with the blood that
is in the basin; and none of you shall
go out of the door of his house until

SENATOR ATTACKS

declared something else must be
done by the administration" to guar

Senator Clark presented a resolu.

zens and American property in Mexico.
This resolution is not introduced

tor. "But conditions are growing stead

that Governor Lind has been sent

Senator. Sheppard's reports showed

followers numbering between $4,000

session of far more than half OF
Mexico.
'".We are unable to get exact and
definite information" said Senator
Clark, about conditions in Mexico.
Evidence still continues, however, to
show that American property is being
destroyed every day, that American
citizenship is being dishonored there
and even officers of the American gov
eminent are being shot down.

outrages. It Is to OBTAIN information. l
know there is a disposition at times to
regard such Information as conf
dental. But in my judgment that is
not the proper curse now, because 1t
is not secret that other nations than
ourselves are interested In the situa-
ton. Conditions are being talked of,
not only in the senate, but elsewhere.
The conditions cannot longer be borne
with by the American republic. Some
thing must be done, or something will
be done. l don't intend to ask for a
vote on the resolution at this time. and

statement in regard to 1t ! shall ask
