Rabbi Marius Ranson of Albany, New York, has published an address in which he argues that Passover should be made a sort of annual revival season among the Jews. We are not of those who are at all squeamish about the use of the term "revival" in connection with the Jews and the synagog, even though it has something of a non-Jewish flavor about it. For our part, we would welcome any movement that would more closely tie up with the synagog and with the institutions of Jewish life, those men and women born within our faith who have lost their loyalty but who through proper efforts might be brought back to an appreciation of their spiritual heritage. And we can see a certain appropriateness if an effort in this direction is to be made, to center it about our great spring festival. Pesach, the Feast of Freedom, is in fact the season when Nature made sluggish by the winter's cold, begins to revive and when things that seem to be dead, take on new life again. What time in all the year then better fitted to sound unto The Kingdom of God There is no misbelief; Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod And waits to see it push away the clod, He trusts in God. Whoever says when clouds are in the sky, "Be patient, heart; light breaketh by-and-by," Trusts the Moat High. Whoever sees, 'neath winter's field of snow, The silent harvest of the future grow, God's power must know. Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep, Content to lock each sense in slumber deep, Knows God will keep. EDWARD BULWER LYTTON. comfort and hope. Therfore, we eat eggs at the Seder, perhaps to remind us of sorrow, especially of the suffer- ings of our ancestors in Egypt. Some people think, that as Passover cotnes in springtime, the egg can be taken as a sign of the new life which is awak- ening in all nature.
