pyramids may fade and fall away, but
no deep seated reuemberance will re-
main, but Jerusalem shall always
stand a brighter and more glorious
monument than towering spire of any
church in ChristendOm. The wander

ring 1900 years is not TO be pursued, nor
for it staggers human credulty to be-
lieve all. And what does their relig-

Mr.. Vance here described the pecu
liarities of the various classes of Jews
in different countries putting those in
Europe and America among the most
Intelligent and progressive. Their
great longevity, freedom from malari-
Gus diseases, and peculiarities of form
were also spoken of and described
Mr.. Vance said that as man who had
given the subject the greatest study
and utmost attention he would assert
that the Jews to-day are the soberest,
most industrious, and moral people on
the globe. Applause. He said he
never knew yet of a Jew being i'm
prisOned for anything above INSIDE
meanor. Applause. They contrib
ute much IN charity to the Gentilts but
never ASK them for charity III return.
Applause. The most they have ev-
er asked has been to be let alone. =
tApplause If Jew breaks down
in business they set him up again, and
he never saw Jew that could not
read, write and compute figures, es-
pecially the figures. Laughter and
applause.5 They do not seek political
power, and though the greatest in the
extent of their business transactions

are always ready to pick up and start
when the day arrives. Laughter.
Great credit was extended the Jews

DOunced to have taken a lease OH the
Persian nation, and no country, and
no country to-day could war against
the power of the house founded by
Rothschild. Christian men are taught
by Jewish song, the voice of Jewish
rabbis, the world has listened with
delight to Jewish song, the voice of
Jewish orators is heard in the Courts

if Jews are to be judged by their mer-

serfs. FAppfause. The lecturer adj
mftted that Jews had faults as citizens,
and believed there were Jew swindlers,
but not enough of them to compare
with Christian swindlers. He had
found that Jew could not make liv-
ing in New England. for Jonathan
with his knife and shin9le could whit
tie Isaac out of his door steps before he
was aware of it. [Laughterl The
lecturer closed with prophecising a
beautifui and glorious morning for the
Jewish nation.
