Purim. the Festival Of. Lots, will be observed in New Britain synagogues with services which will begin to- morrow night. The observance takes place both in the temples and the homes, marked by the reading of the book of Esther.
 The Book of Esther records that Ahasuerus, King of Persia, and Me dia, deposed his Queen, Nashti be- cause she had refused to appear and i display her charms before the prime cs of the realm. Ahasuerus then chose Esther as a successor to the mruly Nashti. Esther was beauti- 1 full orphan. living under the protec- i ton of her cousin, Mordecai - a wealthy. prominent court-Jew of the | city of Shushan. At about that time ] Ahasucrus raised his favorite gener' al. Haman the Agagitc, to the posi- ton of Grand Nizier. This Hamar hated Mordecai because he had re fused 10 do obeisancc to him, anC Haman extended his hatred to the entire Jewish people then living 1T Persia.

Whereupon Ahas uerus said: Do unto the people a it seemeth good to thee"
