If my elisp memories are applicable, then note:

(require 'feature)

means:

+ look through the files in the library directories I know about
+ Locate a library say, feature.jl, or some file that does (provide
  'feature)?  does that work?
+ make sure that we've (load) 'ed that file.

This means that if you (require) a file lots of times, it'll only get
loaded once, which can save you a bunch of headaches.  Many people
don't design their libraries to be loaded repeatedly.

If you want to re-load the file, then try 

( load-module 'feature )
