HOW He LOOKED.

growth of whiskers he wore, which look

was not a disadvantage in dealing with
a certain class of clients.

A DEFENCE OF THE JEWS.
Attendance at SynaEoEues SuEEeste'
TO Christians.

BALTIMORE. Jan. Rev. ". A. Craw-
ford-Frost, rector OF the Protestant Efis-
copal Church Of the Holy Comforter Pratt
and Chester Streets, preached a sermon
yesterday in which he tool. up the defence
Of the Jews. He said:
The Feast OF the Circumcision. upon
which We are about to enter, recalls TO US
that our Lord and Saviour was Jew.
Though He was the founder Of a new cove
nant which should embrace all mankind
He did not nullify or abrogate the old
covenant He only extended and enlarged
H. He was faithful 20 the Jewish religion
Was circUmcised the eighth day. regular in
His attendance at the Passover endorsins
frequently the Old Testament Scriptures,
and the testimony Of the Law and the
Prophets. commenting the doctrine Of the
Scribes and pharisees even while He con-
demned their actions. and, finally, when
/ He gave mis- followers their last instruc-
tons He told them to 90 TO the Jews first,
and afterward 10 the Gentiles.
Il have often wondered why Christian
ministers preach so infinitely about the
Jews OF Palestine and OF the remote past
without giving a thought 10 those OF Balti-
whom We are ever coming into closer BUSH
ness and social contact. We could have NJ
better illustration Of the tendency to avoid
the practical application of Christ's teach
ing to everyday life. We send mission
aries to Jerusalem to convert the Jews,
but We never dream of trying TO persuade
our Baltimore fellOw-citizens to turn their
synagogues into Christian churches and
accept as their Messiah the one whom we
believe TO be the fulfllment Of all their
types and prophecies.
Now tine first step toward this is a
loving and appreciative attitude toward
them. We should attend their syDagogues.
not to criticise, but TO learn and to show
our friendliness. The middle wall of par
ttion is broken down and we should walk
over the place where it used to be. The
next step Is to show them by our lives
that our religion is a better one. l am
