PURIM 567o.

'Purim will not pass away from
the midst of the Jews" esther 9:28)
is the prophetic statement with re-
gard to the celebration of IsraePs
deliverance from the wiles of Ha-
man. An enthusiastic sage even goes
SO far as to say, Gwen if all the fes-
rivals will become annulled, Purim
never will" This extravagant en-
phasis on what in the ritual is really
minor holiday has nevertheless
been borne out by the facts of Jew
ish existence. For the fact remains
that Purim has a unique place in the
Literature, affection, customs and OBJ
servances of the Jews.
And why? Probably because the
events of the Purim story have had
their counterpart in every era of
Jewish life. When were not the
Jews in danger of extinction? When
were they not saved? When did not
some Jew or Jewess achieve emf
hence of some kind? When did the
Jews in the "high places" fail to use
their influence to improve the con-
dition of their suffering, endangered

brethren? And when did not some
Hannah arise to libel and malign
falsely, or, bearing some individual
Jew grudge, seek to vent his spite
upon "All the Jews, from young to
old, little ones and women?"
We can easily find many striking
analogies even in Our own days. Are
not the Jews in the free lands, not
ably in our own beloved land using
their influence honorably, fearlessly,
generously to protect their brethren
everywhere from extinction and dan
ger? In the words Of the "Megil-
lah," "Who knoweth whether thou
hast not for time like this attained
to the royal dignity?"
And are there lacking "Hamans"
today? Are not the Jews already
being used as scape-goats in the
lands that have met defeat? Are
they not, there and elsewhere, being
labelled "Bolshevik" and what-not,
not because they are really guilty,
but because these new terms that
inspire fear and hate are such con-
venient pegs on which to hang pref
udice, envy and rancor.
But just as surely as we have our
Hamans and our libels, so surely
will we be ultimately delivered from
them. Israel has not yet lost his
power Of endurance, just as he has
not ceased to be the scape-goat of
the nations And Israel's Guardian
still watches Yea, "Purim will not
pass away from the midst of the
Jews" C. D. M.

spirituality and p1ety. While the
men were busily engaged in seek
ing the means of livelihood the
women looked after the home and
it's many duties, cared for the chill
dren's religious training, promoted
the observances of our faith They
denied themselves many comforts,
they were willing to forego many if
not all pleasures and often even the
necessities Of life to give their chill
dren the best of Jewish life and
thought. The greatest ambition of
their life was to see their children
grow up learned Israe1ites.
Jewish thought, Jewish learning,
Jewish life were perpetuated by the
women of Israel Rightly has En-
erson said, "What is civilization
the power of good women The
mother holds the babes fate in her
hands, all instruction, her training,
her counsel and her guidance go far
to make it love, respect and cherish
its people, go far to make it loyal
and devoted and ever watchful for
it's peoples welfare. The story of
the criminal who, obtaining leave
on his way to execution to bid fare
wei to his mother, went and smote
her on the cheek saying, "Hadst
thou done thy duty I should not
now be going forth to shameful
DEATH" is too we'll known to need
further elucidation. The child
whose mother deems no thought too
painful, no anxiety too deep, no
effort too exacting in the training
of her children was indeed re-
sponsive to the mothers care. He
knew what would gladden. her heart
and what would make her proud of
him. Due to this Israel was never
wanting in faithful standard bear
ers of Our cause.
Esther, the heroine of the Purim
story, was a true woman in Israel.
She was devoted wife and tender
mother. She was willing to die that
her people might live True to the
spirit of those who preceded she ex-
claimed, "1f l perish l perish"
What noble lesson for the women
of Israel today Esther should be
their ideal. Their concern today
must be to guard the life, culture
and institutions of Israel instead of
being Indifferent and backward,
they must take the lead in the pro-
motion, of lavish 0rO,,D eviCtepce

his plane was shot down in flames,
but the Richmond boy and his pilot
both escaped unframed. Following
the armistice, Stratton was detailed
to duty with the u. S. food admins
tration, and with two other officers
was ordered to take shipload Of

to Constantinople.
There Stratton was ordered to pro-
coed into Armenia and from there to

FOOD PRODUCTION is
HIGH IN GERMANY
cry Associated P-ess,

BERLIN, June 10. = The agri-
cultural production in Germany has
been held up to a high mark, said
Herr Schmidt, the food minister, in
the course of an interview today. He
explained that Germany had made a
remarkable record by using every
available plot of ground for the
growth Of something that would sus
tar, LIE.
Herr Schmidt declared, however, In
answer to a question relative to the
employment of the idle thousands in
the cities who refuse to go to the
country. that in general they are not
needed, since the farmers who have
returned from the war had proved
themselves to be very energetic and
helpful and were doing everything
possible to insure a good harvest.
He added that the workmen who
are unemployed would not go to the
country, not only because farming
was unfamiliar and distasteful to
them. but because of the miserable
housing conditions in certain sections,
notably in East Prussia and West
Prussia, where Polish and Russian la
borers formerly emigrated. gathered
the harvests and returned to their
homes. He declared that the houses
they occupied were 80 filthy and
primeval that the German workers re-
fuse to live in them"
The government is handling the
problem by means of money loans or
donations for new buildings in coun-
try communities, but Herr Schmidt
said the shortage of building mater,
ial was a serious handicap and the
coal shortage complicated the sit
