POINTS WITH PRIDE TO BIBLICAL ANCESTORS.
Rev. J. H. Dennis Traces Back Lineage
 of the CoIored People.

Rev. J. H. Dennis, pastor of Mt. Cal vary church, gave a stirring address on Pride of the Race at the morning service there on Sunday. '1n every civilized nation and race" said Rev. MT. Dennis, there are prominent fig ures to which they point with pride. Going as far back as Abraham and the Jews, to these the world can look with pride, for from them we get the Christ Pertalteuch, the great law giver, kept his people to their pedigree for most 5000 years. Billy Sunday says that they are the purest blood and most wealthy people of the earth. All should feel proud of them.
 But who can speak for Ethiopia and her people? The most heard nowadays is darkest Africa. Something should, if only to correct mistaken ideas. True, we have no great ancestry, though with pride we speak of Jethro, the priest of Midian, the father-in-laW of Moses.
 Jethro was not only a priest, but a diplomat. giving Moses his first lessons in sacrifices and diplomacy in estab- fishing legislative, judiciary and execu- tiI c departments, with supreme judges Are we not more than proud of such a figure?
 Then, too, we are proud to say that we were not always savage and des perate. for we read in I Chronicles 4: 40, they found fat pasture and good and the land was wide and quiet and peaceable; for they of Ham had dwelt there of old"
 So today we are where others should have been because we left God and he made us a reproach; though we prize some of our past and hope to rise

FEAST OF PURIM.
Sunday Was the Observance of Annual
 Event in Hebrew Calendar.

Sunday was observed by the Jewish people as Purim, or. the Feast of Lots, 8 half holiday in the Jewish calendar.
 The synagogue service for this festi- val is limited to the reading of the Book of Esther, upon the story of which the celebration is based.
 Purim celebrates the victory of Nor decai the faithful Jew, over Haman, the grand vizier of the King Ahasuerus, who plotted to destroy the Jew. Queen Esther had been elevated to the throne to succeed Vashti, who had displeased the king. Esther was a most beauti- full and vTtuous maiden, and it was through her intervention that the he- roism of Mordecai and the villiany of Haman were disclosed to the king.
 Purim means lots and the festival is so called because the day on which the destruction of the Jews was de- creed was chosen by lots.
 Purim is a time of general festivity among the Jews, and, like most festi- vals of the Jewish calendar, it is a time for the giving of gifts to the poor.
