THE FEAST
OF LIGHTS

W be Of Jewish origin. In the
month Of Kislev, Of the Jewish
year, corresponding nearly to our De
ccmber. and the twenty-flfth day, Jews
celebrated the feast Of dedication Of
their temple. 1t had been dedicated on
that day by Antiochus. 1t was dedicated
by Judas Maccabeus, and. according to
Jewish legend, sufficient oil was found
In the temple to last for the seven
branched candlestick for eight dayA
and II would have taken eight days to
prepare new oil. : Accordingly the Jews
were wont on the twenty-ilfth day Of
Kislev In every house to light q can

the German name for Christmas Is

MERRY CHRISTMAS

101 HETHER we shout 1t
VX1 or sing 1t, we must be
sure to mean 1t; for II
we really mean it when we
say, merry Christmas, every
body" we will do all in our
power to make Christmas q day
Of unsullied Joy for all those
within reach Of our influence.
Christ came into the world to
bring light which brings Joy. He
came to bring deliverance to
men; to solve their difficult
problems to inspire a higher
hope in the spirit of men. That
is the cause Of the deepest Joy
to mankind. Yes, Christmas Is
a joyful day as well as sacred
day.
1t is a day for doing good
deeds, as well as thinking good
thoughts. 1t Is not a day for
receiving gifts only. There are
so many opportunities for doing
good, that we may receive Joy
hundredfold, with the expendi-
ture Of just little time and
thought. There are many who
have little; many who do not
know the meaning Of this day as
you know 1t; many whose spirits
are crushed by disaster. Re
member them Boys World.
