petrated on the Jews in Russia and fur.
nishing statistical table and good map
to illustrate his remarks concludes with
an appeal for help and sympathy from
America. Let it be known" he said,
''from the Polar Sea to the UraI Noun
/ tains, from the Vistula to the Straits of
Yeni Kaie, that there is people in this

haunted Gar hides from his loving
children, that the democracy Of Ameri-

than that of blood and bigotry. By the
sacred memories of our own religions
and the liberality of our established
order, by the associations which cluster

Horeb, Carmel, Lebanon, Tabor, and
ZIon-ay, even of Calvary and Olivet-
