JEWS KEEPING CHANUKKAH. * . ? east of Dedication Had Beginning on ? Wednesday Night ews and Courier, 5th. 0 One of the most interesting halfolidays in the Jewish calendar began ^ esterday evening and lasts for eight ays. It is known as Chanukkah, the a east of Dedication, and though not y bserved by special services in the ti ynagogue, it is eagerly looked for- s< ard to by the children of the Jewish j c 5* 1 ororo mPflSllTP 4-1 jusenoiu, ii/r n n<w: m. m. ? u )me to be a children's festival. j &| The historical background of the eeljration is found in the fact that in ^ ie year 165 B. C. Judas Maccabeus, fc le of the few martial heroes in Jew- w h history, rededicated to the service w the one God, the Temple at Jeruy< ilem after its pollution by Antiochus a piphanes, who has set up in place of ~ hovah's altar, a shrine to his heath1 god. Just three years after his >Ilution, on the twenty-fifth day of e month of Kislev, the Temple was ^ claimed and rededicated to the serce of God. ei fa Around the festival cluster many cc >autiful legends, which have helped , . . . Ill ~ ~ tno p^iphrn stiape tne cnaicujLci ui i"v ^^^? m )n. Olie such legend is to the effect ^ at when the temple was rededicated ^ ily a singl cruse of oil was found ra ipolluted, but through the miracuus intervention of God, this oil provl to be sufficient for burning for eight j iccesive nights, and until other oil i i ted for the service might be prepar- jf I. For this reason, to this day, Jews s;ht candles in their homes in cele%ation of Chanukkah for eight succesve nights, one on the first night, two j i the second night, and so on. There is a theory that even before ui ie historical event which Chanukkah g. tlebrates, the feast had been observ- oj 1 by Jews as the beginning of tne win- 0f r solstice, and that its origin is com- p on with that of the Christian Christ- 0j as and the Roman Saturnalia, which ?cu%at about the same season, and j rt hie. jMfclikewise celebrated by the | zhtIte interchange ! j &1*' ! 0] Your Eyesight j Lamp :erosene oil lamp is the best for il lamp made, the result of years teady white light, clear, mellow, ed.

I | The Methodists of Anderson learned I with regret that their distinguished pastor, Rev. S. A. Donahoe, had been J 9 transferred to a church in the city of j Norfolk, Va. His arm has been strong! for the right j But the loss of one good man is, in j part at least, tempered by the knowl- ; edge that Bishop Kilgo has appointed j to this station one of the best young ! men in the conference, Rev.

He was at Townrille two years as a teacher. He early felt the call to the minis;ry and at the age of 16 years was a Sunday school superintendent.
