An ancient king is known to us,
Who bore the name Antiochus,
Of all the knaves and fools of
yore
Who e'er that lofty title bore,
Who loved to strut and kill and
quarrel,
He took the palm, the wreath,
the laurel.
(You'll hear of this unpleasant
creature
Some Sunday from your Hebrew
teacher.)

Now first the kind was proven
foolish
When in his regal way and mu-
lish
He loudly called himself a god,
For worship by the common clod.
And all the courtiers bowed low
Before His Braggadocio:
A profitable, harmless thing
It is to.. please one's doting king.

He set his statues everywhere,
And ordered. men to worship
there.
To busts of metal and of stone
The zealous populace fell prone,
While in the squares the soldiers
stood—

A cheery, joyous brotherhood—
To pierce with pike the luckless
gent
Who failed to hail the monument.

But here and there appeared a
Jew,
A member of that stubborn
crew
Whom even kings of high degree
Could never force to bend a
knee.
"One only God is ours!" they
cried—
A god that none of them had
spied:
Yet from this Being far and
strange
Not threat of death would make
them change.
The king was wroth. "I stand
supreme
O'er gods and men. These Jews
blaspheme!
Go, set my image in the place
Of worship of this wilful race.
Defile their sacred objects. Give
Them pork—who eats not shall
not live!"
And so they did. Too, in their
spite
They dimmed the everlasting
light.
In Modin town the news was
spread,
Where ancient Mattathias led
His five great sons and all the
rest
In homage to the Being Blest.
He smote one treacherous cow-
ard down,
And called the men of Modin
town
To fight the king and all his men.
And purify their shrine again.
Heading the Maccabean breed,
The mighty Judah took the lead.
Throughout the land the fighters
came,
Their arms held high, their hearts
aflame.
A handful many thousands slew!
They hacked the Syrian army
through,
Until the Maccabean stand
Had saved our altars and our
land.

Then. in the Temple's wall they
fell
On one day's oil—which, strange
to tell,
They saw give holy fire for eight!
A wonder which we celebrate
As Chanukah this very day—
Telling the world, and kings,
for aye—
No matter what you scheme or
do,
You simply cannot crush the Jew!

from a demonstration standpoint."
The plan of the Farm Security
Administration in resettling farm
families is in a broad sense also
akin to the Society's settlement
work. In New York State, the
Bureau of Farm information was
modelled along the lines of the
Society's Farm Settlement De-
partment, designed to help the
farmer to buy the "right" farm,
at the "right" place, at the
"right" terms.
Notwithstanding this record of
assistance and service, credit for
the creation of a sturdy, upstand-
ing Jewish farm class in the
United States belongs to the Jew-
ish farmer, himself. For the most
part, he is of immigrant origin
who made the plunge into farm-
ing on slender means from a
crowded American city. It is on
behalf of such actual and poten-
tial farmers who, imbued with
the Jewish social ideal of "each .
man to his own vineyard," are
willing to find fulfillment of the
Lord's promise "of a land flow-
ing with milk and honey" that
the Jewish Agricultural Society
finds joy in its work and satis-
faction in its accomplishments.
