are Protestant or Jew if you are in need
Of money. And this family, all over the
world, has built hospitals for the sick,
nurseries for little children and retreats
for old people, and the question Of your
coming or going is never made one of
faith. That you are in need of kindness,
of a shelter; that you are sick and poor is
enough. Some of the greatest doctors
have been Jews The editor of the best
known medical journal in existence-the
Lancet-Earnest Hart, is Jew, and it is
his wife who is bringing to this country
and exhibiting at the worlds fair the
Irish village, with view of promoting
the sale of Irish lace, and so helping the

CHARITABLE AND HOMB-LovING.
Great diplomats have been Jews-Dis-
raeli's name telling of the race from which
he came, and of which he never ceased to
be proud. 1t is said that Nine. Adam is a
Jewess, certainly Sarah Bernhard is. AS
for the great musicians who have been
Jews, you can count all over your fingers,
come back, count again, and even then
you will not have gotten the names of all.
The Jews are an honest people; they live
well, and invariably pay their debts. In
some charitable work connected with u
Catholic maternity, / have met a number
of Jews, and it has never been necessary
to ask them for penny; they have in
variably said to me: "You have some
thing to do with the babys' home, haven't
your Put this in for me-" And "this, :"
nine times out of ten, was a good round
sum; for, when the Jews give, they give
gladly and literally.
Among the French people, almost with
out exception, the cleverest writers and
the cleverest painters are of Jewish birth,
and though at first it may seem strange,
few Gentiles have been able to paint the
Madonna and child as has the Jew. Do
you know Why Because there are no
people who have the same respect for
women and who are so tender toward
them. The mother is.the queen, and to
her and for her is given every possible
consideration.
In England the Jews have so intermar-
ried with the nobility that they have
lost something of their distinctive race
traits but the kindness, the motherli-
ness and the respect shown to older peo-
pie never seems to fade away. The Span
ish Jew is an aristocrat, proud of his birth,
proud of his faith, and only counting as
on equal terms with him his much
prouder brother. the Portuguese. He
delights in tracing back his ancestry until
it is possible you laugh, as did, and force
one of them to confess, that no matter
how far back he may go, he eventually
reaches Adam and Eve, and we have some
claim on them.

willingness to meet every man on the
democratic plane, and our gauging men
