Israelite nation has suffered much in past ages.
In tho following addresses on tho subject from the
most distinguished Hebrew divnes will be found
lucid and eloquent rofutation Of tho charges made
against the Jewish people by their detractors-
THE HEBREW ORPHAN ASYLUM
By special request tho Rev. DR.. Baar delivered an
address before the children in the Hebrew Orphan
Asylum the subject Of Mr.. Corbin's recent insult
to the jewish people. There large attendance.
and the reverend gentleman listened to through.
out his discourse with marked attention. He took
his text from Exodus xiv. 14-"The Lord will fight
for you. but ye shall hold your peace"
Ny children when in ancient times the tyrannical
King of Egypt, Pharaoh. was forced by means Of
heavy punishments and Affections to release our
people from his iron grasp; when. upmindful Of
the stern lessons which the cruel oppressor had just
received. he again tried to pursue the very nation
which he had long enslaved then, in the hour Of
threatening danger Moses encouraged his brethren
with the consoling words Of our text 'sThe Lord
will tight for you. but 20 shall hold
Jour peace MY children, an event of
lesser importance and Of minor significance
than that which happened at the time of Pharaoh
has occurred here in our immediate neighborhood
during tho past days. Our nation Las been SLAM
dered, our character maligned. our feelings have
been wounded and that spirit Of social liberty this
buwark of real Freedom and national greatness has
been shamelcssly violated. In face of such occur
rences / am struck with amazement and astonish-
ingly put the question myself LIN what age and

American SOIL in this land of the free and brave, in
which the homeless finds shelter and tho perse-
cutcd resting place. in which the peaceablo citizen
enjoys the blessings OF his labor and tho devout
worshipper the full liberty OF his religious con-
science aud In which humanity teaches to other
countries and nations the blessed code OF right aud
justice.
My children whatever may have induced our enc
mics to form against us such array OF evil nsinu-
atoms. whether this affront was intended a Sign

''rhe Lord will fight you, but ye shall hold your
peace. The enemies OF Israel have been all thrown
Into the lumber of history. and there is still
space enough in this to admit several more of
this class. Therefore let us cautiously avoid inrud

One of tho sweetest rememorances of my earlier

My children, every nation has its peculiarities,
md will not deny that some traits In character
might be improved little by hne and noble
reticence." But have other nations faults? Do
not hnd even among the so-calicd higher class of
American society young men who chew tobacco, put
their feet chairs anu tables and

about the time in which tho differences of creed will
not any longer disturb the cordial relationship
