Christian theoloqans speak of Judaism they always
refer 20 the Biblical history OF the past ana recos
nize none of the peculiarities of modern JUDAISM
only "usng the distracted picture OF the W anuer-
ING law It's decl Jared that modern Judaism fuily
oconizes that the letter klleth and the spirit re-
viyethD-that il accepts fully the doctrine OF an lu-
mortal life and the Supreme command, Love thy
follow man as thyself' As 10 the remOnstrances OF
the prophets against drunkenness, DR.. Lilient1ai
explains that the drunkards denounced were tne
men who disTegarded the Mosaic constitution Oh 'io
country who preferred the idOlatry Of surrouhulns
nations to the stern monothesm of Moses' WHO
introduced all kinds of vices, ard caused the uo
fall of the Temple. Against these ldoiaters tno
Doctor saws 1.-THE ire and the reproach OF the
prophsts were dlrected and not against the use OF
VineD Snrularly enough il is also asserted that
the vow of the Nazarite to abstain from wine Tor
certain time was regarded a sin requiring aOsolu-
1on OF the doctrine that the jews did not use real
wine but an innocent beverage made from DRIED
rasns the Doctor says that II is an entire mistake
The command TO prepare rasin wine arose from the
fact that ordinary wine used fordolatrous ma
lions and 40 became unfit 20 be taken as beverage
bv the true believers. We should. in Justice TO l)r
Jleptbal say that he is strongly upon the side OF
Temperance. ia the strict pathological sense OF the
word, although he opposes total abstinence
The nues.ion of sex in its relations to education,
which has been 40 ably discussed by Dr. clark Ut
Allen. and Dr. Weir Mitchell in this country Is ,e-
ginning 10 receive serious consideration f,om scien-
tifo men IN Europe DR.. Maud .ey has recently
published an elaborate paror in The Fortnghtly Re
~l6V ir which he treats the subject with unfinchiDg
snergv and sums mp his conclusions in a manner not
less resoute and determined than Mr., Herbert Spen-
Ger himself. He admits the force Of the argument
that much of the mental and moral difference be-
tween the be attributed to the position OF
subsection aad dependence which woman has always
occupied, but contends that when all reasonable IL
lOwance on tLat score has been made, there remain
Inherent and neradicable differences as marked and
as necessary as the complementary bodily variations
of structure. He concludes with logic which viii
seem merccss TO some of the advocates Of Identical
education for boys and girls that such system
you'd iniure women for their maternal responsible
ties and that this is the chief duty and destna-
non of the great majority, II would be unwIse to
modify our general system of education loI the bene-
ft of the exceptions. All European writers upon
this subject point this moral with too frequent and
sweeping references to the health of American vo-
men. They are msled by those who wrote upon
Ills subject many years ago. Improved cooking,
more rational dressing more general attention to
exercise and bodily training have made decided
change In the appearance and the strength Of AmeI-
can girls of the better class.
