And the war has but just come toAmerica! Religion, like all ourfaiths, is in a state of flux today.Ooodness knows where we shall anyof us, come out, very likely where weleast expect.

The State Commissioner of Educa-tion at Albany has ruled it la perfect-ly ijermissable .for the schools of NewVork State to fly the Red Cross flag•with th,e St«u\s and Stripes, providing,of ( course, the National emblem takesfirst rank.

The Red Cross is the one agency•which, on battlefield and in camp,will bo found always fighting: to alife while others tight to destroy it.Even the man who is most bitter inhis opposition to the war should seein the Red Cross a cause worthy b

FESTIVAL OF PASSOVER

FESTTVAI,

On Wednesday evening, March 27,Jews throughout the world will beginthe celebration of their -annual festi-val of Passover (Pesach), whichcommemorates the wondrous" deliv-ermn-c? of the Jews from Egyptianbondage - according to the story toldin the 12th 'Chapter of the Book olExodus.

Beginning at sun-down on the 14thJay of the Hebrew month of Nissan,and continuing, among the ReformJews for a period of seven days, andamong- their Orthodox brethren for;elgfht. days, jpassover is celebrated- asa festival of freedom, all the cere-i'fnonial observances incident to thefeast being symbolic of the idea ofliberty.. ; -.' -..

The festival is ushered in on theopening1 evening ' of the feast withthe so*cail,ed; $,eder, at which thjhead of the family recounts to . themembers of his household arid theirguests seated about the table, tinwondrous events that led up to theJews' deliverance from the hands oftheir Egyptian masters. This ac-count is known as the iHaggadal(story). Especially symbolic of thfestival i the unleavened bread orMatzoth, leavened food being prohib-ited to the Jew during the festivalweek. Tile Matzoth-.symbolizes* thefact that when, finally, the Jews werepermitted to, leave, Egy^jt, they weredriven put in such baste that theydid not have time to leaven theirbread, ; :.' -. . '•

Other'symbols "•of the feast to bfound upon the Seder table are wiiic,symbolic of gladness, which: is a pai]tof the tree noan, oiijter herbs, batoJv>ening the bitterness of slayei'y, and, adainty mixture of apples^ JJUts, etc.,-which is variously intorpretcvd, btitnjay be accepted as standtag: for the,sweetness of freedom.- T he ,laiii]t)^jbone which is OJI .,the. table reminds'the Jews of the RascnaiJauab wh^phY{&$ sacrificed by the .faithful Israel-ites in Egj'pt* its blood being.sprin-k- jled upon their door. post«. When theAn gel. of De^th passed through theland, cuttng down the ,firstrTtjorn inevery Egyptian household, sp cunsthe tradition, »it spared the first-bornIn every -home on whose lintels tHolamb's bloodi had been, sprinkled.. .It is Jikely that this year the Pass-

,In all synagogues and •templesthere, will be special services? on thefirst and last,days of the festival andsermons having to do with the Jews'love of liberty, tf111 be preached bythe various Rabbis.
