POSTAL SAVINGS
ON THE INCREASE

The war in Europe Is proving a
big boon to postal savings In this
country. From the very day hostill

savings receipts began to increase by
leaps and bounds and Withdrawals fell

predictions of many well informed

enormous sums of actual cash have
been released for commercial uses

PUBLICITY FOR CHURCHES
Pantors' Association Approves Plan for
Advertising Religious Work.

The pastors constituting the MIN
isterial Association of the Oranges, N
j.. believe that they set an example
which other similar organizations
would do well to follow, when they
approved of plan to advertise re-
ligious work. 80
AT a recent meeting of the associa-
ton in the parish house of Grace
Church, Orange, Rev. Adolph Roeder
pastor of the New Church, Orange, was
selected for the active work of a
publicity campaign.
This decision grew out of n discus
sion following an address by Rev D.
F.. Diefendorf. of the Roseville Metho-
dist Church. He said that the news
paper publicity given to Go to church
Sunday" was of incalculable value to
the churches. DR.. Roeder will be as
sisted on the publicity committee by
Rev. James F.. Riggs, of the Brick Pres
'byterian Church, East Orange; Rev.
George P. Eastman, of the Orange
valley congregational Church, and
Rev. Arthur Thomas Fowler, Of the
North Orange Baptist Church.
1t has been suggested In connection
with the advertising of churches. that,
like other advertising, 1t ought to be
followed up and made thoroughly ef-
fectlve. Thus, it's said. 1t should be
somebody's business to see that
strangers coming to tho church In
response to. its arHsements are
really made welcome IL I.

feast OF. DEDICATION
GENERALLY OBSERVED
Chanukkah Is Eagerly Looked For
ward To by Children of Jewish
Households.
CALIscH SPEAKS AT TEMPLE
Tells Story of Maccabean Struggle
for independence and of Causes
Leading to It-Feast Lasts for
Eight Days.

One of the most interesting half
holidays In the lavish calendar began
last night, and will last for n period
OF eight days. 1t is known as Chanuk-
kan. the Feast of Dedication. and al
though 1t Is not observed in the syna-
gosue, 1t Is eagerly looked forward
TO by children Of the Jewish house
hoid. FOR IL has in a large measure
come to be n children's festival.
At Beth Ahahah congregation yes
terday DR.. Edward n. Calisch gave an
Illustrated talk TO the school children,
telling the story OF the Maccabean
struggle for independence, the causes
loading to II and the Importance that
IT held. Appropriate gifts were dis
tributed TO the children following the
talk. DR.. Calisch will speak to the
congregation on the festival at the
service on next Sabbath.
The historical background of the
celebration is found in the fact that
In the year So B. c. Judas Maccabeus,
one of the. few martial heroes in Jewish
history, rededicated to the service OF
the one God. the temple at Jerusalem
after Its pollution by Antiochus Epi-
phanes. who had set up, in place of
Gods altar. n shrine to his heather
god. just three years after this pol
luton. on the 26th day of the month
of kislcv, the temple was reclaimed
and rededicated to the service of God.
BEAUTIFUL LEGENDS
SURROUND FESTIVAL
Around the festival cluster many
beautiful legends, which have helped
TO shape the character of the celebra-
ton One such legend is to the effect
that when the temple was rededicateil
only single cruise of oil was found
unpolluted, but through the miraculous
Intervention of God. this oil proved
TO be sufficient for burning for eight
successive nights. and until other oil
MT for the service might be prepared.
For this reason. to this day, Jews light
candles in their homes In celebration
OF Chanukkah for eight successive
nights, one on the first night, two on
the SECOND, and so on
There Is a theory that even before
the historical event which Chnnukkah
celebrates. the feast had been observed
by Jews as the beginning of the winter
solstice, and that It's origin is common
with that of the Christian Christina
and the Roman Saturnalia, which occur
at about the same season. and which
are likewise celebrated by the lighting
OF lights and the interchange of gifts.
Among the Jews, Chanukkah is q
time for rejoicing, not only on the ma ri
of the children. but as we'll on the

CHR!STlANITY'S GROWTH
PROVED BY COLD FIGURES

The best evidence of the accuracy OF
Sharon Turner's extraordinary figures
OF the progressive growth OF Chris
tianity Is found In the fact that only
few years ago the total Christian
population of the world was given by
two very distinguished authorities.

Flax, at A9425o.Oo0, this total repre-
senting an increase OF 100000 since
Turner's figures were written during
the last century, says the Christian
Herald. The grand total OF Christians
throughout the globe is now G914) es-
:imated at 520.000.OOo.
This amazing growth. in the face OF
