observance of this holiday in each
synagogue. MemLiors of the Y. M. 11.
A. will give an entertainment in
honor of the pupils of their religious
school, December 13. The Kesher
Israel will celebrate the festival next
Sunday afternoon and on next' Sun
day evening the pupils of the Ohev
Sholom religious school will give
their Hanukah celebration.
The Feast of Hanukah commemo
rates the splendid heroism of the
Hasmonean House of Mattathias, of
his son Judas, the Maccabee and his
valiant brethren: their loyalty to the
faith of their fathers, and their vic
tory over Antiochus, King of Syria,
who hail waged a relentless war of
extermination against the religion of
Israel.
Under the military leadership of
Judas Maccabee, the Israelites waged
heroic warfare against their power
ful adversaries for the right to wor
ship God according to the dictates
of their conscience. After three I
years of war—on the same day,
Kislev the 2 sth, on which three
years before the Syrian idol had
been placed In the temple—the
Israelites celebrated the birth of
their religious freedom, cleansed the
temple which had been profaned by
the Syrians, and rededicated it to the
God of liberty and light.
Hanukah is a Hebrew word mean
ing rededication. In temple and
home, tho seven-branched candle
stick is-lighted and special prayers
are offered. The suggestive symbol
ism light, ever held in reverence by
Israel, is variously employed to ex
press the lessons of the festival.
Dr. Hawes to Preach
on "Christian Science,
a False Religion"
"Christian Science, a False Reli
gion," is the second study in the
series of false religions which the
Rev. G. E. Hawes, pastor, is deliver
ing at Market Square Church. This
subject is a live one. The teachings
of this cula, the relation to the
"blood of God," to the atoning work
of Jesus Christ on the cross, will
receive special mention. "I am not
so much concerned about the reput
ed cures of these people," said Dr.
Hawes. "The physicians can settle
this point of difference between them
and these reputed healers. My con
crn is to try to innoculate people
against the teachings which deny
ewery vital, fundamental teaching of
the Bible on the subject of salvation.
People who are poisoned with this
stuft will not be helped by this
study."

of the Board of Lectureship of the
