1.-THE spirit of Judaism was intensely
selfish.
1.-THE prayers of their scriptures were
all for the Jews.
"'Oh Lord, correct me, but with 1udg-
ment; not in thine anger, lest Thou
bring me to nothing.
Pour out thy fury upon the heathen
that know Thee not, and upon the fam
lilies that call not thy name; for they
have eaten up Jacob and devoured
him. etc.-Jeremiah 1924; jeremiah
1925; S. P. P.'s, 1876.
National selfishness, indeed, nation
al exclusiveness, was the rule OF the
world until the times or Christ. NO
foreigner at Rome, in the early days of
the eternal city, had any rights which

| Christianity is to reject the Old Testa-
ment as a teacher to us Of the nature
of God, or of His will as to the conduct
of men. The best of the Old Testament
writer's sees, as through a glass, dark
ly. We seize eagerly on the few lofty
expressions we can find on their pages,
that speak in unison with the teachings
of Christ. But how inconsistent are
they with the general trend of thought
from Genesis to Malachi.
Until within a century Christianity
went stumbling along, dragging the Old
Testament behind it, as a convict draws
his ball and chain. Orthodoxy was sup
posed to involve the harmonizing of the
| Old Testament and the new-of all the
teachings of the one with all the teach
| ings of the other
