Forlorn exiies ;rom foreign shoa
are onsn more knocking at tho door
of free America asking for protec-
tfon ant life. A saa story the Rus.
Sian Jew tells us of broken honies,
aching hearts, aud Inhumsn cruelty.
Driven from the haents of his child
hood, robbed OF his property, and
kicked out A pauper upon feruign
and hostile world, he Is, of all men,
surely werthy of pity.
NATIONAL HYKNA.
Russia's bru;al hand Is once more
felt at the throst OF sutEerIngs .u-
manity. Tired OF lnshing the blood
from the bare backs Of weak waauen
this national hyGna springs upon
the back Of the deienseiess jew, re-
lying OH the hatred of the Christian
worli for immunity from the con.

Can the native Russian Isy claim

to love the Russian reyoluliosist.
To destroy such system would be
the noblest work Of true heroism
and real philanthropy.
THE CHRISTIANS SHAME.

and kicd back the wretched, dying
exile into the sca. England has
certainly been guilty of this crime,
ana there are those in America who
would follow suit. Shame on Rus

the Western World that could raise
to the supreme height OF inhuman
deviltry of kicking such exiles back

WHY HATE TIE JEWS?
Did you ever pause To thIng how
utterly brutal and unjsstiliable Is
this hatred on the part of the
Christian for the jew? The Chris
tian has no right to hate any man.
The follower of Jesus Christ must
love al Inen. First Of all can he be
Justified in hating the Jew. What
are the facts In the history of the
, Hebrew lace? He has stood I'm the
, front ranks Of every advance OF
civilization In every century Of our
history. He has more brain and
, nerve than any other race OF men.
A distinguished philosopher has
, said, "-how me great man In
history and / will find Hebrew
I blood IN his veins" How absurd
: that the Anglo-Saxson, Latin or
SIavonic races sliorld pretend to
look down with contempt upon the
. jew. We regard him IA an inferior
: race, do we? Think Of IL! A race
: of people who gave birth TO the
!, prophet, priests and kings OF hu-
uanity, the poets aud ,aw-giycrs
!. for IL! times, and the ctern;ties, who
giorIed in scieRee and literature
when your ancestors and mine were
. off in the primal forests disputing
= over hickory nuts and cocoanuts
: with the Simian ape. Yet We turn
up our nose- at the Jew. We do
: not ,yf...t to live on tho same street
= with him lest We be contaminated
