Of Nissan. corresponding this year with
Tuesday, April Is. Owing to the fact
that there is no Jewish church In Rich

in the individual homes. The celebra-
ton covers a period Of seven days, and
its form Is determined largely by the
biblical ordinances concerning the
feast Unleavened bread constitutes
the principal food Of the observers
during the celebration.

period OF oppression endured under
Egyptian tyranny. Unleavened bread
is characterized as the bread of af.

Is read. This ritual contains the story
of the redemption from servitude, GER

is followed by the festal meal after
which Grace is recited. The service
concludes with the reading or addi-

hymns. To this home service strang-

she is here. No smoking will be al
lowed on the field and all men en-
| gagged in handling the craft will be
