THE FEAST OF
THE PASSOVER
Ancient Jewish Festival Began
at Sundown, Monday

On Monday evening, April l4th,
at sundown, began the Jewish Feast
of the Passover. During the celebration
of this feast in an upper room where
Christ was eating "the last SUPPER
with his disciples he foretold the betrayal
by one of them, and from this room he
went forth to the agony in the garden.
This feast commentaries the his
torical event Of the passing over of
the children of Israel from the bond
age Of Egypt to a newborn freedom.
Falling at the beginning of the spring
season. it was originally of a pastoral
or agricultural character, but the
passing of the years with the multi
tudinous changes which have come to
the Jewish people have altered to a
considerable extent the observance of
the feast. Freedom and it's attend
ing obligation is still however the
keynote of the whole celebration. The
events Of the past year and the deliv-
erance of the Holy Land will un-
doubtedly give different and very
significant character to this years
feast, as far as the spirit of the cele-
bration is concerned, for the manner
of observance is determined largely
by Biblical ordinances.
The eating of unleavened bread is
enjoined for example, in the regula-
tion touching this Feast. This is
characterized as "the bread of afflic-
tion" and is also referred to as the
sbread that was unleavened because of
the hasty flight from Egypt. Another
effective feature of the feast is the
family service held around the festive
board, at which time the Haggadah
special ritual containing the story
of the redemption fro mservitude, is
read, some reflections inspired by the
memory of old days and certain
psalms. The feast follows and the
service concludes with the reading OF
other well beloved psalms, the recital
of prayers and the singing of hymns
Strangers and homeless wanderers
are welcome to the service and in fam.
lilies where the Orthodox ideas arc
religiously adhered to, an especial eff.
fort is made to invite all such at this
time. On the table are found certain
reminders of the hard lot of those
who toiled in Egypt.

small house in. A little later in the
morning the Boche began to send over
gas and l kept my gas mask on for
three and half hours. Then the or
der came that gas masks may be re-
moved. l took mine off and still
smelled just little but it was not bad
enough to hurt my eyes, so did not
put it on again. 1t was bad enough
that it got me all right. This was the
31st of August and it came on me all
at once the first of September. l

days before l could speak word out
loud. I was also burned nearly all
over besides getting gas in my lungs.
l was taken to Red Gross hospital
and was treated fine there, but it was
a month before all of my burns were
cured up and l was getting along
nicely and beginning to feel good

He, too, pays high tribute to the
Red Cross and adds that they did
more for the boys than any other Or
ganization in France. He says that he
has seen nearly the whole of France
and has not been seasick on the voy-
age home.
Willard Seligman, of Brooklyn, N
Y, tells of suddenly coming upon a
machine gun nest which wounded
three of the men whose wounds he
bandaged. He continues, "After bat
ting for three hours through our lai-
son we learned that the Division on
our left had not gone in the right di-
rection. The captain decided that we
should close up the gap and as l turn
ed to my left / spied Boche with a
rifle at his shoulder, leveled, aiming
directly at me, but before l had nard-
ly time to realize this, sharp sting
got me in the back on the right side,
paralyzing me. In a few minutes the
gas corporal noticed that l was hit
and he yelled to me to come where he
was. By this time could move a bit
but it seemed as if my entire back
was shot away. On reaching the cor
poral, he bandaged me with German
bandages l had picked up the day be-
fore, as l had used my first aid packet

first aid station.
This ended my fighting, for at the
hospital l found that my spine hac

way: as the Boche bullet struck my
cartridge belt it sent four of my owr
cartridges into me.

THE FOOL AND HIS CAR.

| When | read of the wrecking of mo
tors, feel
The car that goes wrong has fool a
the wheel
The amateur racers. the gluttons foi
speed;
Divorce from the car is the law that
they need
The fool and his car should be parted.
The driver who takes all the crossings
on high
And never ooks out whether trains b
nearby.
Who runs down the Waterman and
smashes the gate,
And puts oil his trust in the Kindness
oflfate
That fool and his ear should be parted.
The chauffeur who tears along populous
streets.
Who misses the trolleys by marvellous
feats
Who burns up the road and prefers
the wrong side,
And tells of his exploits with voluble
pride
That fool and his car should be parted.
The driver who mixes his drinks and his
gas,
The chauffeur who drives with an arm
round lass,
The fool who converses and turns back
his head
To hear what his friends in the tonneau
have said
Such fools and their cars should be
parted.
The fool is a creaturs that never can
learn,
The fool very often has money to
burn
And drivers who carry more dollars
than sense
Just charge up their fines to the run
ming expense
The fool and his car should be parted.
