PASSOVER WILL BE
OBSERVED In CITY
Temple Bethel Will Hold Religious
Rites According to Ancient
Custom

Passover, the Jewish festival of Lib
! erty, known in Hebrew as "Pesach,'
begins this year on Friday evening
April %. The concluding day of the
celebration will be held on Saturday
April 80, among families adhering
strictly to traditional regulations, while
more liberal Jews conclude the Pass
over week on Friday, April 20.
Passover in the light of its origin
was an agricultural feast, but at a lat
err period became disassociated in
part from its primitive nature-wor-
ship ceremonialism and was identified
with an epochal historical circum-
stance, which invested the festival
with a new and highly significant spir-
itual message.
Associated as the Passover is, with
the Exodus of the Children of Israel
from Egypt, it recalls the many mira
cles which were wrought in their be-
half by the never -slumbering Guardian
and Keep of Israel. The delivery of
the Hebrews from Egypt's yoke II
slavery released them from bondage
and darkness and gave them instead
freedom and light. The memory of
the enslavement OF Israel is revived
and the scenes reviewed where the
kindred of Joseph were degraded to
slave-labor in the very country upon
which their illustrious ancestor mad
showered rich blessings. Their en-.
slavement of body afflicted likewise
their souls. They sank into the griev-
Gus thraldom of despair.
The denverance of the Children of
Isarel from Egypt was assurance that
hal haaD IN
High and their chains of bondage
broken by the God of their fathers.
The memory of this redemption is
revived in the Passover festival where
it is utilized as a symbol of free
dom more embracing than the escape
of the Children of Israel from tyranny
and oppression. 1t becomes at the
same time a token of humanity's final
triumph over all oppressors, tyrants
and bigots.
During the Passover week, Jewish
families eat Matzoh, unleavened bread,
which Is one of the several symbols
used in the observance of the festival
to bring home the recollection of OPP
preston and the eventual triumph of
humanity from the tyranny of injus-
tice and iniquity.
AlC LCSAANdA DNSAiltAAAG OiA lIAS SNG-
ming OF the day previous to the holi-
day, is known as the Seder and inau-
gurates the Passover celebration. This
service is a beautiful home ceremony
in which all members of the family
participate.
The special ritual used for this Sc
der service is called the "Hagadah"
and recites the events of the Exodus
by means of quaint songs and stories,
that awaken within the soul of old and
young, a love of liberty and strength
ems the faith of the present generation
in the priestly mission of Israel in the
world.
Observed in a spirit of gladness, this
spring festival of liberty has inspired
the Jew to trust in the eventual reiga
of righteousness. For this reign of
righteousness the Jew believes him
self to have been appointed to PEE
pare, as the final goal of all man
kind.

u. S. Trying to Compromise With Japan

sition meets with q favorable recep-
ton by the people of California, the
legislature of that state at its forth
coming session will be asked to
amend the act adopted by initiative at
the November election so as to apply
the land-holding prohibition to all
aliens.
The Japanese government has been
sounded, and has indicated that II
will be willing. to settle the contro-
versy on the basis proposed.
Such a settlement would represent
concessions by both parties to the
dispute. Japan would yield on the
exclusion from America of farmers
and the relatives of Japanese already
here, which classes were exempted
from the terms of the existing gen.
tleman's agreement.
California, however, was unwilling
in 1913, and has continued unwilling,
to prohibit ali aliens from acquiring
land. The extent to which European
capital has been poured into the state
is indicated by the fact that 30 per
cent of the Oil lands of California are
British owned.

In the Egyptian desert, about ten

Attempts to identify various nat.
ural beauties and locations with men,
tons or descriptions as given in the
Bible have always been difficult, owing
to the fact that the records of the
rulers Of Egypt at the time Of the cap-
tivity of the Jews were destroyed by
rulers that came into power immedi-
ately afterward. The motive was
jealousy, and a determination to wipe
from the minds of the people any re-
