A 11 3rder Barring issell Board Meeting Lifted Rabbi Edgar F. Magnin Says i Hanukkah and Christmas Candles: Beams of Peace. Goodivill to All THE COURIER-JOURNAL, LOUISMLLE. KY. Thoughts for meditation -3 This is another in the series of articles by leading theologians on religious ideas in the Judeo-Christian world.

Rabbi Edgar Fogel Magnin is serving his 51st year as rabbi of the same temple Wii-shire Boulevard Temple in Los Angeles, one of the largest synagogues in the world. He is said to speak spontaneously, having never written a sermon. Dr. Magnin, a leader of reform Judaism in the Western United States, is a lecturer, author and civic leader. By RABBI EDGAR F.

MAGNIN It happened in the year 165 B.C. King Antiochus of Syria, who dominated Palestine, decided to make an end of the Jewish faith. The Syrians polluted the holy Temple in Jerusalem by putting swine's flesh on the altar and a statue of Jupiter in the sacred precincts. Hellenism, or the Near East version of the Greek culture, had already made inroads among many of the Jewish people. There were those who did riot object to it and made no protest.

Some did. One of them was an old man by the name of Mattathias. He had seven sons. He summoned them and roused them and others against the Syrian Not alone does Judaism live as a sep- arate faith, but Christianity and Islam have carried the message of a Spiritual God, the father of all mankind, the law of morality, and spread it around the globe. Without this message the world would be poor indeed.

We would still be complete barbarians. With this doctrine there is still hope for mankind. Hanukkah also reminds us of the power of faith. Under ordinary circumstances the vast army of the Syrians would have defeated the Jews. The great miracle was not the legend of the lights, but the defeat of the strong by the weak but the spiritually strong.

When God is on our side, we have a majority. To believe with all one's heart and soul is to accomplish results with all one's might Often the potency of faith has been demonstrated in the lives of individuals and nations. But Hanukkah is more than a Jewish holiday. It has significance for the whole world. Had Judaism become absorbed in pagan Hellenism and lost forever, there would have been no Christianity.

Christian Faith Is Born A century and a half after this event, the daughter faith was born. Jesus was a Jew, raised in a synagogue. The burden of the Christian religion, barring some theological differences, was Hebraic. This is why we speak of our civilization as i aM KS8S8SW Ijm United Presi Internatioml Beauty of a Seven-Inch Snow THERE IS a certain beauty to fresh snow, as this seven-inch fall yesterday in Pittsburgh illustrates.

In the name of God he appealed to their loyalty. Led by Judas, who came to be known as Maccabeus, they fought back.

By a system of guerrilla attacks they defeated the Syrian army. Having rescued the Temple, they cleansed it of defilement and rededicated it in the name of the One Holy God. Ceremonies were held. The Hallel Psalms songs of praise-Mvere sung by the priestly choir. The holy lamps were lit When it came time to light the lamps, there was no oil A legend says that someone found a jar that contained just enough for a short time, but it lasted eight days.

Hence the lighting of Hanukkah candles, an old Jewish ceremony also called the Feast of Lights. On the first night of the feast one candle is lit, on the second two, and so on until on the eighth night all candles burn. Eight candles are not very many. Neither do they produce a powerful amount of light. But light is light, and in a dark room they glow brightly, even as the fire of faith and hope can throw forth sweetness and comfort.

Still Hope for Mankind The Hanukkah candelabrum is like the Jewish people. Numerically we are small. Yet the light of our faith has shone through all the centuries. Nations have come and gone, but the Jew remains, one of the oldest, but young in spirit. The fire of destiny and mission glows within our hearts.

Mrs. Spurling, Wife Of Neurosurgeon, Dies New Catholic Church Geared For Changes Hebraic-Christian. Without Hanukkah there would be no Christmas. And now Jews and Christians light candles, the one on the Hanukkah candelabrum, the other on the Christmas tree. To God Almighty these lights are all one.

Real religion spells love love not only in theory but in action. It holds morality above ritual. It recognizes the unity of mankind. It is more interested in the ecumenical spirit than in its divisiveness. So burn, you Hanukkah and Christmas candles.

Each in your way throw out beams of peace and goodwill to all the world. 31, a Louisville pediatrician, died in April of a cerebral hemmorhage. Mrs. Spurling was the former Marion Boggs, a native of Catlettsburg, Ky. In addition to her husband, she is survived by a son, Robert S.

The design of Incarnation of Our Lord Catholic Church is geared toward worship services using the new Roman Catholic liturgy. Pews will be placed on three sides of the altar. The pastor, the Rev. William M. Diersen, will say Mass from behind the altar, facing the congregation.

This layout, according to J. D. Farley of Luckett Farley, architects for the building, will bring the Mass celebrant closer to the people. "We are cutting down the distance from the last pew to the altar over 50 per cent from the traditional design of Catholic churches," said Farley. He said the church will not have a Communion or altar rail and parishioners will receive Communion at three Communion stations.

The tan brick church and accompanying parish hall is estimated to cost $189,000. Construction should be completed by next fall. The 400-family parish was formed a year ago. Services now are held at Wade Shacklette School, 5310 Mercury Drive. TO YOU JKSl A JESUS II ls Strvlc.i Sunday 2 p.m.) Wtdnaidayi 7:30 p.m., xcapt first Wadnctday of ach month.
