HANUKKAH.
A Short Treatise an the Hebrew
Feast of Light.
Tuesday night, December ltith, corres
ponding with the 24th day of Kielev, be
gan the Hebrew feast called Hanukkah,
or the Feast of Lights, which lasts eight
days, and is commemorated in honor of
the victory of the brave Maccabes over
ihe hosts of the King of Syria.
The name of this King was Antioch
Kpiphanea, which means Epiphanes the
illastrioas; but he was also called Anti
och Epimanes, which means Epimanes
the crazy one.
It was in tbe year 168 B. C. E., when
Antioch Epiphanes, returned from his
■accessful Egyptian war, that be issued
a decree that in all the parts of his king
dom only one religion and one kind of
service was going to be tolerated. Tbe
Jews were commanded to renounce the
worship of Jehovah, the One, the invisi
ble God, the God of their forefathers and
of their children, and to adore Jupiter
and all the other gods and goddesses of
Greece.
In the Greek temples of his large realm
he met with very little resistance. The
priests of these heatten temples did not
care very much whether they bowed
down to this idol or that idol. But not
ao with the Jews, who, sine the return
from the Babylonian captivity, loved
their God and their religion, and were
ready to become martyrs and to sacrifice
blood and treasnre for their holy creed.
No sooner had this Antioch Epimanes
heard that the Jews were determined to
lay down their lives, rather than to yield
to his cruel decree, than he sent Apol
kmias with a large army against Jerusa
lem, with the order to annihilate all the
Jews. Apollonius pretended to have
come as a friend, but on tbe Sabbath
day after his arrival, he suddenly sur-
all the numerous synagogues of
Jerusalem, and over 40,000 Israelites
were killed, and as many more were
sold into slavery.
But he was not satisfied with this
cruel punishment. He ordered the
temple to be desecrated and defiled; he
robbed the temple's treasury of all its
golden vessels, and marched away with
a plunder of 1,800 talents of gold. An
tioch, not satisfied with these cruelties,
issued from his capital another royal de
cree, by virtue of which all Jewish cere
monials were forbidden, the books of the
law were torn to pieces, divine services in
the synagogues were forbidden and in
terdicted. The Jews were forced to at
tend the heathen uervice, and whosoever
refused to appear was put to death.
Gloom and despair ruled in Palestine,
and many weak-hearted and weak
minded people yielded to the threats of
the crazy King" and his cruel com
manders.
There lived in Jerusalem a man by
the name of Eleasar, 90 years of age.
He was much respected by all who knew
him. The King sent for him, and
ordered him to taste some food forbidden
by the Jewish law. The King threatened
him with instant death if he did not
comply with the royal order. "I am on
the brink of the grave," answered the
eld man; "kill me, and let me die for
my God and nay religion." And the
crnel King immediately ordered him to
be beheaded.
Then a Jewish widow and her seven
sons were brought before Antiochoa,
charged with having refused to worship
his idol. "Mother, do you love your
children? Then tell them to kneel be
fore my god." "I love my children aa
dearly as a mother can only love; but 1
love my God more. He will reward
them for their loyalty, and punish you
for your cruelty."
Then the King addressed the children:
"Bow down before my idol, and I will
shower royal favors upon you; disobey
me, and you shall die one after another."
"I cannot," answered the eldest; "for
my God has commanded me, saying, 'I
am the Lord thy God, who brought thee
out of the land of Egypt.'" Exod. ir.,
2. This refusal enraged the King,and he
ordered that the boy should be killed on
the spot.
The second son was then brought
forth. "Acknowledge my idol as one of
thy gods," said the King.
"now can I?" replied the boy. !! The
law tells us, 'Thou shalt have no other
gods before me.' " Exod. xx., 3,
The King, enraged at his obstinacy,
had bim executed, and the third son was
led in.
Antiochus then lowered his demands,
by asking him merely to bow down be
fore the idol; but the boy said: "I dare
not. The word of God commands me,
•Thou shalt not bow down thyself to
them.'" Exod. n., 5. And he also
was ordered forth for execuiion.
The fourth son was then asked to ac
knowledge the idol merely as a divine
who influenced the earth.
"No," said he; "for it is said, 'Know,
theretore, this day, and consider it in
thine heart, that the Lord He is God in
heaven above and upon the earth be
neath ; there is none else.'" Deut.
iv., 29.
Having thus refused to comply with
the King's wish, he too was led forth to
execution, and the fifth son was brought
in.
Of him the King asked still less; he
only requested of the boy to show the
idol some reverence.
"I must not," was the boy's reply, "for
'he that eacrificeth unto any god save the
Lord only, shall be utterly destitute and
deserted.'" Exod. xxii, 20.
The King, enraged at being thus re
peatedly scorned and derided, had him
also put to death.
The sixth son was then called into the
King's presence, and he was dimply
asked to deny his faith, and not to em
brace idolatry.
"No," said the lad, "for God has thus
spoken unto Israel, saying, 'The Lord
has anointed thee this day to a sacred
and a holy people.'" Deut. xxvi, 18.
At length the mother and her youngest
son, a mere lad, the only survivors of
that noble band of martyrs, were led
before Antiochns. He tried all his
powers of persuasion to make the child
do his bidding, but in vain. Even his
own hardened heart began to melt, and
he would gladly have saved the poor
child; but he could not, for hundreds
were crowding round his throne, and all
his royal dignity would be lost if it ap
peared that he was obliged to yield.
"On one condition," said he, addres
sing the child, "will I spare thy life. I
shall drop this eignet-ring of mine be
fore thia idol; pick it np, and thou shalt
be saved."
But the boy perceived the King's de
vice.
"What!" cried he; "shall I be more
mindful of thine deceitful honor than of
my God's?"
And the boy's brave words sealed hie
doom.
"Let me kiss my child before his
death," cried the poor mother. She
kissed him and said : "When thou art in
heaven tell Abraham, our ancestor, that
he has a rival; for he erected tbe altar
for the sacrifice of one son, but I have
raised seven altars for the sacrifice of
my seven sons."
For years were these barbarous cruel
THE LOS ANGELES DAILY HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 22. 1889
ties continued, and still the people
woald neither submit nor yield.
But Israel was never forsaken, "He
sleeps not and slumbers not, the eternal
guardian of Israel;" and in due and
proper time He always selects and sends
His redeemers; men who value right
and liberty, virtue and justice higher
than life and all earthly treasures.
In the village of Modaim, situated on
the Mount Modai, which is not very far
from Jerusalem, there lived a man,
Mathatias by name. He had five sons,
Jocbanan Gadi, Simon Thassi, Judah
Maccabee, Eleaz-r Haveran and Jon
athan Haphus. This Mathatias and bis
live sons enjoyed the highest confidence
of all the neighbors for their manly be
havior and deep religious sentiments.
As the name of one of their ancestors
was named Hasmon, their wholo family
name was the Asmoneans.
Tbe Syrian governor, Philippus, had
beard of the great influence these men
exercised over all their neighbors. He
therefore thought if he could induce
them to give up their religion, their ex
ample would soon be followed by all the
Israelities.
He sent Appellas to Modaim and ap
proached the Asmoneans with the
request to offer sacrifices upon one of the
altars he had there erected, and promised
them on the part of his King the highest
offices and the richest rewards if tbey
would comply with his proposal. But
the Aamoneans Dot only flatly refused
obedience, but before all the assembled
people they loudly declared their indig
nation at such offers and promises.
The sign for a stern resistance had
been given. The ire of the people had
been aroused, and in a short time num
bers of brave Jews flocked around tbe
aged Mathatias, ready to offer blood and
treasure on the altar of their holy re
ligion. Philippus, the Governor, became
seriously alarmed, and collected his
troops to crush the Jews to the ground.
He met with one crowd of Israelites
numbering about one thousand men. He
tried bis utmost to persuade them to lay
down their arms, to disperse and go to
their homes. But when they refused to
obey his orders, he kept quiet until the
next Sabbath day, believing that they
were not going to resist on the holy Sab
bath, he would then surprise them and
kill them all without grace or mercy.
But t:<e aged Mathatias had already
declared to them that during a war the
Sabbath required no observance, and
that his followers were permitted to de
fend and protect their holy religion on
the Sabbath day.
And as the number of his followers
had steadily increased, they were not so
easily exposed to surprises. They acted
in self defense, and they were very suc
cessful. Here and there they penetrated
into the cities, destroying, the heathen
altars and began to copy the scrolls of
the law which they had saved from the
general destruction and re-opened the
Hebrew divine service. They were
determined to conquer or to die, but,
under any circumstances, to live and to
die as Israelites, worshipers of Jehovah,
the one and indivisible God.
A few months after thia happy begin
ning the old and venerable Mathatias
died. All Israel mourned over the loss
of this pious and veteran hero. On his
death-bed be had appointed the lion
hearted Judah as his successor in the
command, and, indeed, he could not
have made a better choice; for this
tieroic general defeated the enemy in
several pitched battles. He commenced
the victorious march to Jerusalem and
was crowned by the daughters of Israel,
singing songs of praise; the white-clad
priests returned to their sacred profes
sion ; Judah, the warrior, put away his
steel armor and donned the peace gar
ments of bis priesthood; priests, Levites
and Israelites marched to the house of
God, cleansed it from Syrian pollution
and reconsecrated it to the holy mission
of the God of Israel. Then they sang
the sacred song, "Mi Komocho Boelim
Adonai," (Who is like unto thee among
the mighty ones, 0 Lord?) And while
tbe song and the mueic filled the mighty
temple Judah ascended the platform and
lighted the tapers in the candlestick.
The people listened with the deepest de
votion, and their hearty "Amen" re
sounded throughout the whole temple.
For eight days were thoee festivities con
tinued. And tbey were indeed of sin
cere joy; the people knew what they
owed to their God and to the brave Mac
cabes. Let us then continue to burn
the merry Hanukkab lights; let us re
member tke twenty-fifth day of Kislev.
1(54 B. C. E.; let us not forget to instruct
our children in this glorious history, and
above all, let us not forget to thank. God
and to say, " Thank ye the Lord, for he
is good, for his mercy endureth forever."

IMPORTANT
AND
Worth : Investigation.
We are making suits to order of the fine
Huddersfield Worsteds for $25 which are
worth $40. As the sale of these fine worsteds
during the past three weeks has proved such
an immensu success in San Francisco, we c in
cluded to give the benefit to the public of Los
Angeles. We have purchased $40,000 worth of
these Huddersfield worsteds and have added a
Urge line of Kerseys and Meltons for over
coats msde to order, with fine silk linings, for
$25 to $30, which would cost elsewhere at le»st
from $40 to $60. We have rectivcd from the
mill over 40 pieces of flue Trouserings, which
we bought at an immense reduction, and we
are now prepared to give our customers end
the public tho benefit. These are fine ALL
WOOL goods at prices never before known in
Los Angeles. Please call and examine the
goods and be convinced of the bargains now
offered for Ihe holidays.
