eousness, and it's unyielding faith in
the triumph of right and truth.
This conflict between Our faith and
others, Our ideals and others has re-
peated itself many times. 1t recurred
when Rome, the heir to the Greek
spirit, became mistress Of the world.
Roman paganism, too, sought to van
quish Judaism. 1t broke out anew
when Christianity triumphed, and
sought to exterminate her parent faith.
1t famed up for a brief period when
the followers of Mohammed carried
their faith and their sword over vast
regions of the world and attempted to
subdue all resisting faiths: And it IS
carried on now in a more quiet 1nsldl-
Gus manner between the modern re-
crudescence of paganism with all It's
ideals and all it's forces, and the silent
w working and leavenlng spirit and
faith that are Israe1's and its proph
cts.
Judaism has invariably triumphed
in the past 1t and it's supporters have
often suffered in the struggle, and
have come out of it with many bruises
and wounds the pain of which is still
keenly felt by us, but they have tri
umphed at last. Why: How shall
we account for it? The secret of it
lies in the essential and fundamental
convictions of Israel's soul which are
that there is righteous power that
governs the world and that His law
must be obeyed. His immovable GER
tainty Of this truth, his lnvinclble
faith that this truth will ever vindi-
cate itself and will ever be found ire
sistib1e, have helped the ew and his
Judaism to triumph.
In the present conflict between the
two antagonistic forces, too, the forces
that have turned the world into one
gigantic battlefield, arraylng class
against class, nation against nation,
the forces of chauvinism, militarism,
cornmercia1ism, imperialism, the forces
of individual and national greed, I'm
scrupulous diplomacy, class don1ina-

the one hand, and the more silent

Observation-Disclosures
Hanukkah is known as one of the
two minor festivals of our calendar.
It does not share in the sanctlty or
elaborate ceremonialism and ritual
ism of the other feasts. The reclta-
ton of the Hallel at the morning
service, with one additional prayer in
the Eighteen Benedictions, and the
lighting of the candles in the evening
sum up the additional observances of
the season.
Yet, judging by the Importance of
the events in the life of Israel that
the festival commentaries, Hanuk-
kah should rank in sacred significance
with Passover. Like Passover it Gel
ebrates the liberation Of Israel from
an oppressive foreign yoke. The Ex-
odus from Egypt meant the national
birth of Israel; the Maccabean trl-
umphs over the Syrian-Greek hosts
meant it's rebirth Had Ant1OChus'
plans succeeded, Jews and Judaism
would have been extinguished just
as completely as would the Hebrew
tribes have been under Pharaoh's OPP
pressive and destructive measures.
The redemption in the one case was
as great as that in the other. Its con-
sequences for the Jews and the world
we're as important in the one instance
as in the other. The Exodus marks
the birth of Israelitism; the Macca-
bean victory the rebirth of Judaism.
There are many more interesting
aspects to the great Maccabean
drama, many more interesting factors
in it, many more important lessons to
be drawn from it, than any other
event in Our history. 1t was in many
respects a drama that has continued
on the stage of history to this day.
It was the first clash between two
types Of religion and culture, a con-
fict that has not yet ceased. 1t was
Israelitism VS.. Hellenism, the Jewish
spirit VS.. the Greek or pagan. The
culture of the Greek with its sensu-
Gus beauty, refinement and elegance,
with it's polytheism, its Bacchanalian
gaiety and frivolity, its dissoluteness
and debaucheries met for the first
time the stern, uncompromising spirit
of the Jews divine Law, with its eth
ical monotheism, its doctrines of pur-
ity and holiness, wisdom and right

t1Onal righteousness, Tor universal
peace and brotherhood and for the
consequent human happiness in the
present conflict, too, there can be no
doubt as to its final issue. Is not
democracy gradually winning it's way?
And democracy is. the strongest ally
of all the other forces of righteous
ness.
Let us not lay the fattering JUNCTION
to our soul that all Jews are now the
bearers of the banner of light and
right, and all non-Jews are rallied to
the banner of the forces of evil The
majority of Jews nowadays are as
much carried away by the evil tend
ency of the times as the ma jority of
non Jews. While many of the gen
tiles are as strongly animated by the
spirit Of Judea as are the best among
us Jews. We at the present time are
by no means the sole and exclusive
representatives of the truth that came
from the soul of our prophets. Yet
this truth that is now permeatlng ever
larger circles, and is bravely fighting
the forces of darkness and evil, is
child of the Judaic spirit engaged in a
conflict that began in the time of the
Maccabees.
That leads us to the contemplation
of another aspect of that memorable
struggle, the division among the Jews
themselves. There were two factions
then, that of the Hellenizers and that
of the loyal and faithful followers of
the law. The Hellenizing Jews,
among whom the priestly aristocracy
was very conspicuous, were quite will
ing to exchange their own faith for
the life and culture Of the Greeks.
They could not resist the seductive in
huences of the latter. Not only were
they themselves eager to pay homage
to the spirit of Greece, but they were
equally anxious to induce all their
compatriots to see the new and, what
seemed to them, the better light. 1t
was with their help that Antiochus
hoped to succeed. But the spirit of
the loyal Jews was invincible:
That fact of faithlessness in our
own ranks has required many times
in our history. A fatuous desire for
new fashions, a hankering after
strange gods, has always taken pos
session of many among us. The early
Christians, and some of the most ia
natic among them, were Jews. In
modern times, too, no sooner did the
light of a new freedom dawn upon
the world than vast numbers among

RELATION BETWEEN THE
MERCHANT and FARMER
Extracts from an Up-to-Date Business-Building
Address by Prof. John B. Jarvis, before
the Convention of Illinois State
Darymens Association

We are living in new area, new age,
and new business problems are constantly
before US. The business methods of the
merchant of a few years ago are not the
business methods of the merchant Of to-
day. There is constant evolution in all
things. plants, animals, human beings and
business methods. This evolution is ad-
vaneement. We are not turning back but
we are gradually progressing. We. as
Americans. believe in progress, believe in
education. believe in building up and not
tearing down. believe in the spirit Of service
and believe in helping our fellow men. In
fact, the spirit of cooperation or interde-
pendence among all classes in business is
the live issue Of today.
Has the thought ever occurred to you,

Already the men and machinery
about the factory are striking their
pace and in each twenty-four hours
close to 100 tons of sugar beets
will disappear within the hugh
nav, to appear again as the finish
ed product that is one of the most
important factors in Colorado com
merce.
A steadily increasing supply of
beets is being brot to the factory
and several dumps and the grow
ers are waxing happier with each
succeeding day because of the in
creased tonnage and sugar content,
which this season of sunshiny days
and cool nights is bringing up un-
til the tests show that the average
percentage of sugar is likely to
break all records this year.
With the average yield per acre
known, together with the tests of
sugar content to show the value OF
his beets, the grower is now en-
abled to make a close estimate OF
