DIR. HOLLAND BEFORE TIE LIBERAL CLUB
Dr.J.G. Holland lectured before the New
York Liberal Club. at Plmpton Hail, last evening" on
THE Hebrew Race" large audience being present
The lecturer began with an account Oh some OF inc
OF the different nations OF the world ana
pointed out the marked differences between the TWO
great classes OF the IndoEurOpean and the Semitic
races To the latter the Jews Arabs AOy ssnlanS
and Assyrans belonged. The Jews were the highest
race Of the four mentioned but their spirit was anu
philosopnic. Solomon was probably their most lhie-
lectual man, but he complained that too much
learning was WEAKNESS, and that knowledge was
vanity.
