The king consented and. in order to find a new queen, had the fairest maidens of the land itt Shushan assembled from which he could choose. , I In Shushan there lived a Jew ish exile., Mordecai, one oi the courtiers of the king, whose cousin, named Hadassah he had adopted and whose Persian name was Esther. She was fair and beaqtiful and Mordecai entered her into the beauty contest and had the joy of seeing her crown ed queen, although the king was not told that she was a Jewess. One day, while waiting near the palace gate for news of his cousin, now the queen, Mordecai overheard of a plot to assassi nate the king and reported it. The two guilty chamberlains were hanged. Hainan, another courtier, is promoted to a posi tion above all the other princes and because Mordecai refused to bow down to him, Haman per suades the King to sign a decree ordering the slaying, on a cer tain day a year hence, of all the Jews In his kingdom. Mordecai hears of' the decree and, in order to attract Esther's attention, sits at the gate of the palace in sackcloth and with ashes on his head? a sign of deep mourning. Messages pass be tween the queen and Mordecai and Esther is persuaded to make an appeal for the Jews to the king. Realizing the risk of ask ing an audience with the king unsolicited, Esther asks all the Jews to fast and pray for her safety and. after three days of preparation, she approached the King, who extended the golden scepter, promising to grant her |any request, even to giving her half of his kingdom. Esther [simply asked the king and Ham an to a banquet. I At the banquet, when the king further inquired of her desires, she invited them to another ban quet the next day. Haman was delighted with these honors from1 jthe queen. When he discusscd 'with his wife the insolence of (Mordecai, she and some friends advised him to build a high gal lows, for one in such a high posi tion could certainly manage the (destruction of his enemies. I That night the king could not sleep and had a servant read the (chronicles of his reign to him. Thus, he heard for the first time of the plot against his life and realized that no reward had been granted Mordecai. At that moment. Haman presented him self outside the king's chamber. When escorted into Ahasuerus present, the king asked him what should be done to the man "the king delighteth to honour. Thinking that the king referred to himself, Haman advised the king to allow the honored one to wear the royal robes . ride the king's horse, wear the king s crown and be led through the| BOONE DRUG CO.

When, at the second banquet of the queen's, Ashasuerus asked Esther what she desired, she re quested the king to let her life be spared and the lives of her people, explaining that they were all doomed by the king's decree. When he learned that it was through Hainan's machinations that he had been persuaded to sign such a decree, the king was terribly angry. When he further learned of the high gallows Ha man had prepared for Mordecal, the king ordered Haman to be hanged on the very gallows. Mor decai was then promoted to the office Haman had held and the decrees which saved the Jews were dispatched all over the kingdom. When peace had come, the Jews from all over the kingdom gathered to celebrate their first Feast of Purim, a celebration still observed to commemorate their deliverance from their {enemies. The message of the book of Esther is one of personal courage and loyalty. Esther's (willingness to sacrifice her life for her people reminds us of Jesus, another Jew, who died not only for his own people but for all who accept him. Breeding Program Making Progress The artificial cattle breeding program is making rapid pro gress in North Carolina, reports J. F. Brown, extension dairy specialist at State College. He says there are now 23 or ganized artificial breeding as sociations in the State with a total membership in excess of 2,500, and it is estimated that more than 20,000 cows will be bred under the program this year. Reports show that in January and February 2,258 cows were bred by 21 associations. Two as sociations began operating in March, and all other* except those in Forsyth, Yadkin,, and Davie counties began in January. Despite the lact that most of the technicians are new, reports as of April 1 indicate that the non-return percentage by tech nicians on January 1 services will average around 44 per cent, which is considered a fairly good figure with ao many new men on the job. Reports already indicate improvement in the percentage for February X service#. All counties doing artificial breeding have been contacted by one or more extension dairymen and given detailed assistance with the overall program. FOREIGN BROKERS Congressional investigators estimate that foreign brokers profited by $64,500,000 to $1X9, 000,000 speculating on United States commodity markets during 1946 and 1947 and are asking "tighter tax reins" to bar Ameri can and alien grain speculators from dodging a profits tax.
