Mr.. AND MRS. WILLIAM BUMP
OBSERVED ANNIVERSARY
Couple Have Been Married Over SO
Years

Mr.. and Mrs. William Bump passed
their fifty-fourth anniversary quietly
at their home near Flat Landing
bridge, East Lyme, Thursday. On ac-
count of Mrs. Bumps i'll health they
did not keep open house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bump are well known
and highly respected in East Lyme,
having spent much of their life there.
They both joined the East Lyme Bap-
fist church in early life and have re-
tanned their membership there ever
since. About 20 years ago they moved
to New London, where they remained
for about 20 years. returning about
eight years ago.
Mrs. Bump has been a sufferer for
a number of years and now her eye
sight is fast falling her. but she is
around and goes in to New London
twice a week for treatment. Mr..
Bumps health is good and is remark
ably preserved for a man of his years
and were it not for his failing eye
sight he would seem like a young
man.
Mrs. Benjamin Bump is slowly re-
covering from a painful injury to her
knee, received while alighting from an
express train in Mantle about two
weeks ago. She was out Thursday for
the first time.

HEBREWS WILL OBSERVE
cHANNUkAH FEAST
Commences at Shutdown on Tuesday,
Dec. 10, and Lasts Eight Days.

The Feast of Dedication (Channu-
kah) commences at shutdown Tuesday,
Dec. 80, and lasts for eight days 1t
celebrates the successful ending of a
war against religious tyranny. Its
predominant message, therefore, is re-
ligiouS liberty.
In the Year 162 before the present
era, the Syrian king, Antiochus Epi-
phanes, set up a statue of a pagan
deity in the Jewish temple of Jerusa-
lem and tried to compel the Jews to
worship it and abandon their own
historic faith. This effort at forcing
an alien religion upon the Jewish
people provoked a bitter revolt in
which the Jews, led by the famous Jul
das Maecabeus and his brothers, fl
naily defeated the Syrian armies. re-
entered the temple and rededicated it
as the centre of Jewish worship. In
honor of this rededica ton, the feast Of
Channukah (dedication) was estaib-
lished, its eight days to be holidays,
days of song and thanksgiving. 49,. =
The holiday is marked by special
prayers of thanks and psalms of praise
inserted into the daily ritual, and by
the kindling of the Channnkah lights.
The usual custom is to light one light
on the first day, two on the second.
three on the third, and SO on, add
ing one each successive day of the
feast As to the reason for this GUS
tom of kindling the lights. legend tells
his victorious army rededicated the
temple and cleansed it of all the i'm
purities of idolatry, he found that
there was only enough pure Oil to keep
the perpetual light burning for one
day, and it would be long before new
oil could be procured. But mira GU
lousy. this small amount of oil lasted
for eight days. and the perpetual light
was not extinguished. For tits reason
it was ordained that every year lights
should be kindled for eight days in
every household. 1t became custom
airy for the lights to be placed in the
windows and the doorways, so that
the streets of the cities be. lighted up.
Thus the feast came to be known also
as the Feast of lights.
The Jewish date for the beginning
of this feast is the twenty fifth OF the
month of Kislev. According to one
tradition, the reason that Judas Sc
lected this date is because it fell ex-
Rctly three years after Antiochus had
defiled the temple: according to an
other tradition it is because that was
also the day when the Israelites, af-
ter being delivered from Egypt, com
pleted the tabernacle in the wilderness.
