DIDN’T BITE TOES
IX1NDON—Ethel Irving, the Eng
lish actress, starred In a London
court with a dramatic critic as vil
lain.
The critic had written of Miss
Irving that "in the third act she be
came a raging, frothy epileptic, roll
ing on the floor and biting her toe
nai.sl”
So Miss Irving brought suit for
libel.
"At no time did I froth at the
mouth!” she declared in court.
Judge: Did you roll on the floor?
Mis.4 Irving: Why. certainly not!
I just lay on the floor sobbing.
Judge: Did you bite your toe
nails.”
Miss Irving: Not by any stretch
of the imagination could I be said to
have done that!
Judge: Were you wearing shoes
and stockings?
Miss Irving: Certainly.
Judge: Did you bite them?
Miss Irving: Of course i*)t.
Whereupon Miss Irving was duly
vindicated and the critic sharpened
his pencil to lampoon someone else.

Feast of Dedication Will be
Observed in Homes at
That Time
The Feast of Dedication, some
times called the Feast of Lights, or
Chanukah in Hebrew, falls due this
year on the evening of December 25
and will be observed in some cheer
ful manner in all Jewish homes for
a period of eight days.
Chanukah commemorates the
eventful triumph of the Maccabees
over the hosts of Syria. This his
torical occurrence happened as a re
sult of the victories of the Maccabees
in their warfare against Antiochus
IV, called ‘'Epiphanes," the mad
man, in the year 165 B. C. E. The
Syrian tyrant had resolved on im
perialistic policies in which a unifi
cation of all his provinces and pos
sessions in respect to language a*nd
religious observance was to be car
ried out. The religion selected as
the established or state religion of
his realm was Greek polytheism,
with all it sensuous appeals and im
moral practices.
In promulgating this edict Antio
chus IV did not reckon with the
stern moralists of Palestine. The
idolatrous rites were' treated as ab
ominations by the Jewish people who
instantly opposed their enforcement.
Coercive measures introduced by
the throne to compel an outward
compliance with the edict precipita
ted a revolt on the part of Matta
thias, a priest of Modin, a suburb of
Jerusalem. Under the leadership
of the aged priest and his sons, of
whom Judah is the most famous, the
Palestinian Jews threw themselves
against the powerful armies of Syria.
These crude armies of embattled
farmers held the hosts of Syria at
bay during four territic years of war
fare and finally succeeded in driving
the invaders out of the country.
The Temple at Jerusalem which
had been defiled by pagan practices
was rededicated on the 25th of Kis
ley of the Hebrew Calendar, which
corresponds to the month of Decem
ber. In commemoration of the vic
tory the feast of Chanukah is cele
brated even unto this dsy.
Among the old legends recounting
the miraculous intervention of Prov
idence in behalf of Israel is the story
of the preservation of a single cruse
of undetiled oil found in the temple
at the occasion of this rededication,
which burned for eight days. In re
cognition of this, lights are kindled
in the home for that period, lighting
one on the first night, two on the
second and so on.
No special synagogal service is
held during Chanukah week but a
prayer is introduced in the ritual
stressing the ultimate triumph of
righteousness over the tyranny of
might, showing that God and the
right form a majority no armies of
men can overthrow.
In Jewish circles there are parties
given at this time and in religious
schools plays and pageants present
ed expressive of the glorious victory
of the few and feeble over the ag
gression of tyrants and despots.
The joyful character of the day is
always accentuated in home, syna
gog and religious school and the
[ valor of the Maccabees revered.

A Word From The Haunts
Of Paul
I
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS
Places suggest memories; and this ]
lesson (which I nave been holding i
for two and a half years! is being
written on the heaving bosom of the '
Mediterranean, [lie glorious blue of
which must have satisfied the
beauty-lovii.g soui of the Apostle
i'aul us he sailed to and fro across
It. in storm and calm. This is Paul's
sea. the sea tha. he travelled as a
missionary and the sea that wreck
ed his little craft. Our course is
laid toward the c.ty of Antioch,
whence he started or. his Journeys,
but, although out of sight of land
at the moment, we are nearer Eph
esus than Antioch Most of the
passengers have been laid low by
the heavy sra; and as I think of the
tiny craft upon which the apostle ,
and his companions adventured
these great waters I wonder if he
also, sensitive creature that he was.
had to roll up in liia cloak under a
sheltering side of the ship and sim
ply endure the voyage. It is worthy
of note now little Paul tells us
about himself and his travel expe
riences. Ke had more important
things to say.
With thronging thoughts of the
author, a real man knowing real
life, a cosmopolitan man thinking In
general terms, we take up these
mighty words of his concerning the
grare of God, addressed to the
Christians at Ephesus. That is the
first j oin't to perceive. These ut
terances are not vague generalities,
spoken into space. They are per
sonal, and as direct and applicable ,
as the letter a traveler sends to his
fami y. As he wrote, Paul had in
mind the Christians at Ephesus, the
city wherP he had undergone tem
pestuous experiences.
Tim City of Diana
Even as I have paused here to look
upon the surging sea—wild white
horses galloping over blue pastures
—did Paul raise his pen occasional
ly to think of Ephesus; it* great i
marble theatre, where for hours the
silly mob yelled their throats sore
in praise of Diana as a protest
against his preaching; its magnifi
cent highway leading down to the
quay, with statues a«d fountains
and fountains and temples and baths
linirg it; its hug- stadium on the
hillside beyond the theatre; its arti
ficial harbor, shaped like a frying
pan. and crowded with traffic from
th<- Mediterranean? Scenes of its
splendor aid of its sensually ma> I
haw crowded hia active brain as he j
dwelt upon the surroundings of these I
friends who were "called to be
saints"—Ja heathsr, proflgate Ephe- I
•us!
Eet no one say that these passages
from Paul's writing are only for the !
Apostolic church and not for us in
our more difficult limes; thsnk God.
owing to such preaching as Paul's
have no conception of the un
Christian character of the Komar
civilization amid which Paul's con- I
verta had to practice their faith. |
The worst of our modern cities is
righteous as compared with old Eph- |
esus
Right here we see the audacity of j
Christianity. It offers the best to
the worst, the highest to the lowest.
Degradation does not daunt It. To
the sensualized Roman it gives a
lofty spirituality. There Is no adapt
ing of the message to the taste of the
hearer; the Gospel is not cheapened
or watered down. With a sublime
disregard of enivronment and hered
ity. Paul presents to the Ephesians
exalted spiritual truths concerning
the nature of God and of His provi
sions for man's redemption, and of
the duty of even a citizen of Ephe
»H« to live a saintly life. This is the
answer to the half-baked intelli
gence which declares that one can
not be a Christian in camp or In
business, or in shop or in college or
wherever else th> complainer's lot
may be cast. Behold, one could be
a Christian even in Ephesus!
(M Dislikes Boasters
Squarely countering the old nav
tendency to regard nr.an as big and
God as little, Paul declared that all
the salvation that had come to his
Ephesian converts had been because
of the nature of God. Men are not
saved by being good, but because
they are saved they become good.
They a-e si.ved because God is good.
He is rich i.i mercy. It is His char- .
aeter that provides redemption. Not
our deserving, but His designs, Im
part life. G.id being the sort of God
He ,'s, makes It possible for His wan
dering children to come back home,
led by His Son, Jesus. What God
is Christ is; and Christ shares Him
self with His friends By grace are
ye saved, through faith: and that not
by yourselves; it is the gift of God:
not of works, lest any man should
boast."
