"THE JEWS ~

Ina "Catechisn for the use of the Methods
Missions" by Bishop Capers, is Chapter on til
Cruci6xion," from which we extract the followin
passage:
" 1t was as the world of sinners we're in leaeu
with the world of fallen angels to do the utnos
wrong to the Son of God the seed of the woman
We overlook ourselves when we ascribe it to all th
Jews. Jesus could not have been crucified at al
if a Gentle Governor had not given sentence agans
him, and this he did, protesting, as be did it that
vas unjust Those were Gentle soldiers, too, whit
put the crown of thorns upon his head, mocket
him, smote him and spit upon him. The world wal
there, as if come together to lay both hands-ths
hand of the Jews and the hand of the Gentiles-on
the head of the victim who was to bear their sins
away to the land Of forgetfulness The deed sctu.
ally done was Jews aid Gentiles, priests and people,
high aud low, rich and poor, Pharisees, Sadusees,
Herodans, men of all sects, and men of no sect at
all offended at the purity of Jesus, would rid them
selves by violence of his teaching and example, too
true, as they were, to be disproved, and too holy
for them to endure"
If the Gentle world would bear in mind such
truths as these its propensles for persecution would
receive salutary check. 1t had its representatives
in tue nest fearful tragedy of all time and if it had
been in the place OF the nation which caused Jesus
to be cracifed would have done precisely the same
thing. The Jewish people, in their whole history,
and r no part Of it more than their crowning crime,
are fair type of the whole race of man. It was
not the sins of the children of Israel alone but the
Gins of all mankind that caused the great sacrifice
Of Calvary, end sprinkled the blood of The Atonng
Lamb upon the throne of Divine Justice
Father, forgive them, for they koow not what
they do" was the dying prayer OF the Sun of God.
Do Gentles prove themselves good Christians by
refusing to forgive as Christ has forgiven Do they
remember, when the word dew is used as a term Of
bitter reprosch and dersion, that the Divine Found
of their faith of the seed of David and that
all bis Apostles were likewise Jews? Do they re-
member that they not only were the chosen people
OF God but that according to the plain teachings of
both the Old and New Testaments, and the univer-
Sal opinion of the Christian Fathers, when the con-
summatons ofsall things approaches they are to be
