Sowing and Reaping. Galatians VI: Z.and 8: “Be not decetved, God is mot moeked; for whatsoever a mmn sows, that shull he also reap.” LOur subject is sowing and reaping. Al fien believe this propositjon. It is true, vhether you find it in the Bible or not. There are three panties whom it is very hard to decelve. It is hard for us to de- colve ourselves. We live with owrselves. We stand aequitted or condemned before the bar of olr own conscience. 1 have met men lately in- tiis ¢ity in & veritablé hell on @ccount of the lashings of remorse. Again, it is hard to deceive our neigh- bors. If you put your ear to & keyhole when your melghbors are talking about you you will hear a great deal of truth. It may be very impolite, but you will get many a fact. Then, too, it is utterly impossible to de- ceive God. He is Great, Mighty and Holy. He goes with ux always and sees Into the inner recesses of our bearts. David said “If I make my bed in heil, thou art there. In this world we wre il sowing.

Thic is the first and most Important of the three festivals when the Jews were Wont to present themselves be- fore the Lord in Jerusalem, the others be- ing Pentecost and the Feast of Tabner- nacles. The Passover was the great spring feast of the Jews and was célebrated to commemorate the escape from bogdage in Egypt, when.Jehovah smot all tirst born in the land of Egypt, except those of “the ‘chosen people who had sprinkied the biood of & lamb on the lintel and the side Posts of their doors. Jehvvah passed over the houses so designated, sparing the lives of the first-born, and the ehildren of lsrael departed from Egypt This feast had been observed religiously by the Jews ever since the time of Moses, and it is remarkable that not even the Dispersion, and the consequent division of the Jewish people into sects has affected { materally the ceremonies and the ritual of | this great feast day. The day also is of pectliar ‘significance to Christians, for the institution of the Lord's supper on the occasion of the celebration of the Passover by Jesus and his disciples The seven ddys foilowing the Passover proper are observed-as the Feast of Un- leavened Bread, and during these -eight days the orthodox Jew will eat no leav- ened bread.

The unleavened bread is -made from flour, salt and water, githout any other | seasoning or ‘léaven. It is made in thip wafers, .and is known as matzo. In the United States muny Jews have this bread made dn their 6wn home according to the anclent recipe, but the greater number buy the matzo as prepared in the great bakeries | in Philadéiphia which make a specialty of baking ‘this bread. The essentlal unity of the Jewish people 4s- strikingly #iustrated by the manner of ©f observances of the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The Jews of the world are divilled into three sects, and these, in turn, are sub-divided accordingly to habitation and minor ritualistic differ- entes.” The two great sects are the Sefar- dim, and the Ashkenawim; while the third large subdivision i composed of ‘the Jews of Yemen, or southern Arabla. The Sef- ardim are jfhose Jews who observe the Spaniard and Portugese rite.. They are the inheritors of the language of Judea and of the Jewish schools which flourished in Babylonia after the Dispersion. The Jews of Turkey, northern Africa, the southern Eurgpean countries and most of those in Palestine follow this rite. The Ashkenazim are the German Jews, who take thelr religious rites and their language from the Jéws of Galflee. A large cplony of Jews was removed from Tibertas in Galllee to Germany by the ‘Roman emperor, Hadrian. These Jews be- came the foundéts of the great Fewish of Jews. The Jewish colonies In India and China are of the Yemen sect.' When the Jews were ‘expelled from Spain in 1442 the Sefardim were the wealthiest and most influential people in the sworld, controlling practically the «om of ‘the world. For the last’ four centuries they have di- minished steadily® in numbers and inin- fivérice, while ithe Ashkenazim have in- creased dhtil now they outnumber the other sect ‘in the ratio of -twelve 1o one. The greater mumber of Jews in the - United 'States ‘follow ‘the Ashkenarim rite. The divisions known popularly as Orthedox and Reformed are sub-divisions of this sect, and are unknown except in Germany and the United States. In this article refer- ence is had only to orthodex Jews. In' each’ of the-three ‘great sects the ob- servance of the Passover is substantially the same, except that in the Ashkenazim rite the interpslation - of “European music and system ©f poetital dllegories has been accepted generally.

In the United States there are three grades of matzo in use, the square matzo used for the Sedar service, the tea- and-coffee matzo and the large cracker known as the egg matsg, in which behten eges are used instead”of water to make the ‘dough.
