 A CHARITABLE PEOPLE.
 ''In charity not only do Montefore and Baron de dirsch shine conspic- uously, but our Jewish fellow citi- zens successfully conduct charities covering every concievable case of need and suffering. In New York City alone, for thelr twelve leading institutions the Jews contribute up- ward ot $700,000 year. There is not a more charitable woman in New York than Mrs. Esther Her man. The aims house has no need to provide for a Jew.
 "There are 300, Jews in this city and about 2,000,O00 h the United States, and yet the prison scarcely knows a Jew. He is do- mestic above all men. The divorce court seldom hears of him. The in- sane asylum hardly kuows of his existence. To the Potters Field he is absolutely unknown.
 In their dealings Jews are as honorable as other men are. Their social standards are just as high and just as fine as other peoples in corresponding positions. Money often gets ahead of the manners of Jews and Gentiles alike. The noble and ignoble exist everywhere in all races and in all religions.
 "Is it fair to let prejudice against individuals develope into prejudice against ia race? When Charles Lamb was saying all sorts of hard things about another man afriend said to him: MT. Lamb, you don t know him, you never met him. No was the answer, if had met him I fear should like him.
 s'Let us get better acquainted with each other, mingle more freely, and I am sure we shall like each other.
 Hatred of the Jews must dissap- pear before the enlightened, liberat- ing and liberalizing influence of modern life. Racial and religious prejudice belongs to the ignorance and superstitions of medieval Europe.
 For Christian in our day to turn from Jew simply because he is Jew stamps him as un-Ameri- can, unmanly, and un-Christian. But I have yet to know a man who merits the name of Christian, who has acted discourtously to his He. brew brethren.

"WHAT WE OWE ISRAEL. ]"

pdo IOI LII DIOOIlluS udlC 10G1OI IlGQ church, Boulevard and west 68th street recently preached a sermon on "What We owe Israel. "
 Among other things he said:
 q love the Hebrews their incom- parable poetry, their peerless pro phets, and their matchless history. Christ, the ideal of the race, was a Jew. All the apostles were Jews.
 The unhappy actors in the cruel fiction were Jews and Gentiles to- gether Together. According to orthodoxy they had 90 option in the matter.
 It may be true that the Jews would not have done otherwise if they could, but they certainly could not have done otherwise if they would.
 Therefore among fair minded men, Jewish blame for the eruci- fiction has become dead issue. It does not seem fair to lay the deed of his ancestors against the Jew and his decendents down to the slxtieth generation. Christ came to his own, and His own received Him not, but with his expiring breath He pleaded, Father forgive them, for they know not what they do. Is it not time to forgive and forget what Christ forgave 800 years ago? The cruelty which tLe Jew has not suffered, and the injustice which has not been heaped upon him cannot be named. And what is the Jews crime2 What has he done to merit the worlds ignominy? He has given Moses, who, in the twelve United States of Israel, gave to the world, the first republic.
 CHRISTIANS AND JEWS.
 Christianity has it's roots in the Old Testament. Christians are Jews gone to fruit The Jew has not only been the factor that for four hundred years supplied the na- tions of the earth with money, but in every department of human ac- tivity the Hebrew race has furn- ished proportionately a greater number of great men among the greatest of the earth than any other race.
 If ever a people demonstrated the power of education it is the Jewish race. It has furnished Kimich in philology, a Spinoza in philosophy, Halevy in poetry, an Ezra in astronomy, a Traube in medicine and a Disrael in litera- ture. The most jealous advocate of the higher education of woman in this country, and the moving spirit in the establishment of Barnard College, was Mrs. Anna Nathan Meyers. The treasurer, Mir. Schiff, is also a Jew. Columbia College has three Jewish professors. The University of New York, the Col lege of the City of New York, Har- ward, John Hopkins and the Unl- versailles of Wisconsin and Pennsyl- Yania, are among other well-known colleges who have Jewish professors
 '.The most enthusiastic support CTS of our public schools and all must admit that tbe Jewish children are among the brightest and most behaved. AS rich as a Jew, is changing to As wise as Jew.
 In music, the Jews can lay claim to such names as Mendelssohn, Of- eebach, Jouchine,, Meyerbeer, Kossini. Rubenstein and Goldmark. la statesmanshlp. Benjamin Dis raeli, Jules Simon, Fould, Cremieux Gambetta and Lasker
