Passover. the Feast Of Unleayened
Bread. begins Friday evening. April
.. 1920 and ends Saturday, April 10.
The Passover, in Hebrew "Pe-
sach," was an agricultural festival
originally, but at an early period
was transformed into a festival of
redemption by connecting it with
the wondrous deliverance Of the
Hebrews from the Egyptian yoke.
1t is this memorable event which is
commemorated in the festival. and
the ritual ceremony observed during
the seven days in which it is cele-
brated among Reform Jews, or eight
among the Othodox. is identified
with the Exodus Of the Hebrews
from Egyptian tyranny and further
symbolizes joy in the triumph Of
liberty and freedom over tyranny
and oppression.
This festival falling in the spring
time OF the year, was utilized by the
Synagog as a means Of consecrating
the Jewish home to God as the Re-
deemer and Protector Of Israel. The
story Of the deliverance from slay-
cry was the occasion for voicing
confidence in the future redemption
from oppression and woe. The Pass
over feast endowed the Jew ever
anew with endurance during the
dark night Of medieval bigotry and
with faith in the Keeper Of Israel"
who slumbereth not not sleepeth.
Exultation over Israel's glorious re-
demption, holding out the promise
Of a greater day Of liberty to those
who still chafe under the yoke Of
oppression, is the resounding note
Of the celebration today.

counted among the friends of Mrs.
Greig. her death deserves more than a
passing notice. for it leaves a vacancy
in their lives which cannot readily be
filed. Before her marriage she was for
some years connected with the office Of
Macomber. Farr & Written, and later
with the Maine Farmer and in both
places her sunny disposition. her per-
sistent optimism and her fidelity to
whatever duty presented itself. won her
the deep regard and admiration Of all
who were associated with her in any
capacity. After her marriage with Mr..
Greig, who was at that time head farm

around her a large circle Of friends to
whom her home was q weIl-loved place.
for there a warm welcome always
awaited them. Indeed it was in her
home that her lovable qualities shones

The removal OF Mr.. and Mrs. Greig
from the city was a loss to all who
knew them. but wherever they were,

mindful Of her friends and they were
never forgotten. no matter what the
distance which separated. In her few
visits to Augusta no one was over
