What is worse to eat trefah or to
slander
Have you a little leisure Read the
Bible if you have not take it
The editor is in his sanctum though
the rabbis have left their pulpits
What a pity that so much is said
about Pity and there is no pity for
Truth
Criminations and recriminations
quarrel and strife have never helped
religion
Will the Literary Society be such as
its name implies or a kindergarten for
terpsichorean artists
Happy the man that can keep cool iu
this temperature in the midst of
burning questions
What is it you dont understand the
language of the prayers or the Ian

guage of the Prayer
And one man calls the other a rogue
and the other shouts Youre anoth-
er and both may bo right
We have our opinion of the young
man who prefers the moving picture
show to the spiritual uplift
It matters not in what language you
pray so that you pray the important
thing is the heart not the tongue
While many fight for forms the sub-
stance is lost while they fuss about
religious ceremony they lose sight of
Religion
Both rabbis are out of town there
are however services in both syna-
gogues Those who wish to pray still
have their chance
Or perhaps the rabbis have gone
off a bit to observe from a distance
what is the effect of their winters
work the further they go the less it
will appear to them and yet their
work is of the same effect and the
good they accomplish is considerable
Every once in a while some Jew
gambler will accept Christianity set-
up the claim of being either a former
rabbi or at least the son of a rabb5
and go and preach Christianity to the
benighted former coreligianists of his
he is wined and dined wherever he
goes except that the wining is at-
tended to by himself privately given
some of the best pulpits in the city to
tell bis lies from and he receives more
money than he could earn by honest
toil much to the joy of gambling
dens and he finds that the business
pays Again and again such individ-
uals have been exposed but to what
good Taken all in all there is no
more gullible set of people than the
contributors to foreign missions or mis-
sions to the Jews W W
During the past week we have been
requested to publish accounts of af-
fairs one of which was given on Fri-
day night and another on Saturday af-
ternoon These accounts have failed
to appear on account of our considera-
tion for the participants It is bad
enough that thoy have trespassed the
Sabbath and would only make the
matter worse Avere it given publicity
We think the younger set might have
at least a little respect for the wishes
of the Sunday school teachers if they
have none for the Sabbath day Wo
know positively that the affairs of
which we refer would not be counte-
nanced by the rabbis and it reflects
no credit on any one to engage in
Sabbath frivoltries
PERTINENT FACTS ABOUT JEWS
AND JEWISH HISTORY
When an impartial historian shall
write of Avonderful achievements of
the geniuses of the nineteenth century
Jewish names will be found on every
page
Long before Socrates taught philoso-
phy or before Herodotus wrote his-
tory Israel had an organized civiliza-
tion
The antiSemite is a coward The
cry ot the Jew hater is the cry of the
beaten man
The Jews were wariors skilled in
arms before the Grecian hosts swoop-
ed down upon the plains of Troy they
had cities before Romulus and Remus
traced the walls of imperial Rome
they had poets philosophers and schol-
ars before Homer the blind beggar of
Scio lisped numbers in the myrtle
groves of Greece
The Jewish race is imperishable
Republics may rise and fall nationali-
ties wither and decay but ever down
the stream of time shall sail the bark
of Israel until it loses itself in the illi-
mitable vastness of eternity
From the earliest period of the re-
public United States to the present
time the Jew has been a conspicious
figure in our regular army and navy
and in every branch of the service
he has made an honorable record
In the ciyil war the part the Jews
took is so conspicuous that is diffi-
cult > to pick out the most prominent
men in the conflict Madison C Pe-
