loved him, overheard his remark. They
took with them vessel of brass, and
began to fight their way through the
Philistine army. They made constant
progress, now defeating a little group
of the enemy, now stealing along un-
der cover of rocks and stones. At
last, after hard battling, they came to
Bethlehem, filled the brazen vessel
at the we'll, and set out on their re-
turn. Again, with desperate and de-
termined courage they made their
way through the Philistine ranks. One
would carry the water, while the
other two defended themselves and
him. Then they changed about. And
at last, against fearful odds, they won
through again to the Hebrew camp.
Full Of love and pride, they brought
the water to King David, and told
him where it had come from. The
king was touched to the heart by
their heroic devotion. He took the
vessel in his hands, but hesitated to
drink the water. Again he looked at
them, dripping with wounds and faint
with WEAKNESS, but happy in the joy
they had brought him. Then he
poured the water out on the ground.
"This is too holy for any man to
drink" he said. "It is not water,
but your blood. pour it out as an
offering to God!"

THE PRECIOUS WATER
A Story from the Talmud

The Talmud tells that once, in Da-
vid's early years of fighting to save
his kingdom from the Philistines, he
was in the thick of battle not far
from his native town of Bethlehem.
The fight had lasted all day, and still
though the Hebrews had not lost,
they had not yet won. David had
been in the forefront of all the fight
ing and he was tired and above all
thirsty.
"How I wish I had drink from
the well of Bethlehem" he exclaimed.
"How we'll I remember the cool fresh
ness of the water!"
He spoke these words and laughed.
He meant it only as jest, for the
whole Philistine army was stretched
between him and Bethlehem. But it
happened that three soldiers, who

airy building-just the sort Of syna-
gogue one should have in such hot
country-with all sorts of arrange
ments for the health and comfort OF
the worshippers. The seats are wide
and far apart, so that nobody is
crowded. There are hundreds of cleo
tric fans to make the air as cool and
pleasant as possible, and the whole
large building is lit with beautiful,
electric candelabras.
The Shabbos service begins at half
past six in the morning! There they
are, all the pious Jews of Rangoon,
fresh and bright and ready for their
prayers! These are conducted in a
manner quite different from our Gus
toms of worship. The Bagdad Jews
all sing out loud, and chant most of
the prayers with the Chazan. There
are certain ceremonies carried out,
too, that the Jews of the Western
World do not observe. Another
strange thing is, that the Jewish
ladies do not go to Schulz on the
Sabbath, but only on festivals and
holidays. You can understand that,
when you think how early the SER
vices begin, and that most of these
ladies have children to feed and dress
and attend to.
It was interesting to look around
that spacious Schulz and to see Jews
of such varied color and features.
There were some with very dark
skins, some with just what we should
call "brunet" complexion, and some
with the fair skins of English peo-
pie. Yet, for all the difference OF
their appearance, they were all one
in faith. They all wore the tails and
were reading the same prayers.
After the service, our friend was
introduced to the Rabbi, and what DO
you think? The Rabbi couldn't speak
a word of Yiddish or English. But
he did speak Hebrew and Arabic beau
tifully, and in these languages he
welcomed the American visitor. Our
friend remarks that the Rabbi looked
very stately and nice in his cap and
long white gown over which he wore
a splendid, embroidered tails.
Altogether, this traveller tells me,
those weeks were among the pleas
ATTEST and most surprising in his
life. And considering how far he
had come, and what strange, yet
familiar things he had seen, l am
inclined to believe him, aren't you?

stories are always interesting, and the
articles promote the true spirit of
Judaism among the younger genera

Evelyn Aronow.

intelligent reader. I am proud that

JEWS OF BURMAH
Do you know where that is Bur

in America. That is what makes it
so interesting to hear that in far
away Burmah there is large col

who live and prosper there.

to take ship to Europe. Then you'll
have to travel by train to the South
of France, there embark on ship
again, and continue your voyage by
way of the Mediterranean Sea,
through the Suez Canal, down the
Red Sea and out into the Indian
Ocean. You will pass near India
(Hindustan) with her little pear
shaped island Of Ceylon, but you
mustn't stop there, because Burmah
is still further east. By that time
you will begin to feel like Sinbad the
Sailor, but soon you will be sailing
to the East of the Bay of Bengal, and
there you will land on the shores of
Burmah, otherwise known as British
East India. 1t is hot country, with
plentiful green trees, (kept fresh by
the heavy rains) burning sun, and
cleaning white roads.
Now what will you think of your
fellow-Jews in Burmah, after such
a long journey to visit them? A
gentleman who returned from Bur-
NAH only a short while ago, tells me
that you would have very interest
ing visit. This is what he thought
of it.
He says that, walking along Dal-
housie St.,-one of the busy thorough
fares of the capital city, Rangoon,-
he was Immediately struck by the
large number Of Jewish names above
the best shops in that prosperous
business place. "There must be a
great many Jews in Burmah,' ne
thought, and he soon found out that
he was right. He also found that
most Of the Jews lived in Rangoon,
the capital. With the exception of
sprinkling of Jewish merchants from
England, and some Jewish officials
of the English government, most OF
the Jews living in Burmah are what
is known as "Bagdad Jews"
sBagdad Jews" are strictly ortho-
dox. They follow out the laws and
the ancient customs of Judaism to
the letter. They keep their shops
closed from sunset on Friday to sun
set on Saturday, and also do no work
for the whole ten days between New
Years and Yom Kippur, and for the
whole of Passover. They also keep
the other Jewish festivals and holi-
days strictly.
Another thing that our friend found
out-and very pleasant thing, too!

NAH are very kind and hospitable'
