JEWISH IDEA OF MESSIAH.

Rabbi vorsanger few days ago
held d lecture on the origin and dsvel-
opment of the Messianic Idea. 1t Is In
teresting as showing what Is the objec-
tion at present, among thoughtful Jews,
to the acceptance Of Jesus as the Mes
siah. The Rabbi, as quoted by the san
Francisco Chronicle, said;
"The Messlanlc idea was born Of the
promise Of God made to Abraham ara
HIS seed and of the ever present idea
OF the Jewish nation TO free itself from
the bondage Of its more powerful neigh
bors. In the Messiah, the Jews ex-
pected o leader to political freedom as
well as delyerer from the seryituae
Of sin.
From the beginning OF the nation
the political significance Of the Mes
siah was the paramount conscious idea
OF the house OF Judah. But with the
captivity of the Jews and their seventy
years Of serfdom to Babylon there was
born n magnihcent llterature-the liter
allure voiced. In the poetry OF Isaiah and
Micah. the spiritual idea OF the Mes
siah. In those latter days declared
the prophet should come the Kingdom
of God wherein dwelt righteousness
Then these two ideals united and be-
came firm In the minds OF the Jews;
the political ideal Of liberty and the
spiritual ideal Of a higher ethical lie
became one afIluent stream and flowed
through the days OF the nations cap
tiyity and distress, through their per-
iod OF wandering as outcasts over the
earth, and flows today as strongly as
I'm those ancient times. But to unite
these ideals In the personality OF the
Messiah. the Jews demanded that he
must of necessity embodv within him
self every attribute of power. But more,
even than that he must be q scion OF
the house OF David. And though Jesus
of Nazareth fulfilled this last condition
he destroyed the unity of the two Ideals
and declared Himself but the exponent
OF the spiritual ideal Hence no Jew
could accept Him. for without his res
toratlon 10 the power and prosperity OF
his fathers through the Messiah prom
ised him. the Jew cannot conceive the
promise 10 Abraham fulfilled"
The Rabbi is mistaken in his state
ment that Jesus does not fulfil the
double ideal Of Messiah. Jesus as dis
tinctly declared Himself the restorer
OF His people to power and prosperity,
as He proclaimed the spiritual ideal.
He was misunderstood by His contem-
poraries, and He Is evidently misunder-
stood today. He came to become the
King OF all the earth. not through the
means usually employed by conquerors.
but by spiritual forces. If this fact is
understood. there Is no difficulty in ac-
ceptlng Him as the Messiah, fulfilling
all the expectations founded upon the
anclent sacred writings.

GROWTH OF CATHOLICISM.

The phenomenal growth OF the Catho-
lie church. both In number and infiu-
ence during the last decades. is one Of
tie maryels OF the age
The fact IS that al present, Protest

church, who was once looked upon as
the representative. II not the embodl-
ment Of antl-christ.

The Catholics control legislatures and

II Is asserted that the statesmen OF

A BLESSED DAY.

Christmas day was time OF genera
Joy in this city. We believe II was
the same throughout the land, The
prosperity SO much spoken OF was EVIL
dent, In the rush OF business and the
circulation Of money. Up TO midnight
OF Christmas eve stores were crowded,
the streets were thronged, tired but
happy purchasers Of Christmas gifts
were loaded with parcels, and Christ
mas greetings saluted the advent OF
the great Christian holiday.
The little folks will have cause ever
10 remember the visits OF Santa Claus
In 1909. Scarcely house in Salt Lake
was missed in his rounds The diversity
and plenty and beauty Of the presents
that gladdened the hearts OF young and
old, exceeded all precedents The poor
were not neglected. Good cheer was dis
tributed with no nisgard hand Con-
vitality was everywhere observable,
and yet there was good order, and the
blbulously inclined managed to keep
within bounds and there were but few
evidences Of excess.

THE VENEZUELAN OUTLOOK.

The trouble In Venezuela Is still on,
but the outlook Is encouraging for a
peaceful settlement by arbitration,
either by a commission appointed by
President Roosevelt, or by one chosen
according to the rules of The Hague
convention. The matter seems TO be
we'll under way, though there are diff
culties to overcome.
The situation, as has been repeatedly
pointed out. Is unique. None of the
powers interested can desire TO prolong
II. Germany suggests that she be paid
100000 bolivars, before her claims are
submitted to arbitration, but in case
Venezuela Is unable to pay this at pres
ent, II would be folly TO insist upon this
as one essential condition. For Ger
many cannot collect the money She
Will not care to declare war and land
troops. She may seize custom houses.
but the blockade makes this measure
useless. And besides, the blockade
cannot really be binding upon a third
party, as long as war Is not declared.
II Is liable to cause complications that
will add difficulties TO the final settle
ment.
OF course. PresidentCastro has no more
chance Of getting the powers 10 hear
his case than President Kruger had.
although Venezuela's independence Is
not disputed. Arbitration is a measure
between powers Of somewhat equal
magnitude. And as long as Venezuela
cannot offer any acceptable security for
the fulhlment Of the conditions that
may be imposed by an arbitration COM
mission, she cannot expect to be heard.

dent Castro's proposition is backed ~

spoonful OF sugar mix thoroughly with
a little water, then add four ounces Of
water. Dose for an adult, one tea
spoonful every hour for twelve hours
for children under ten years old. half
teaspoonful hourly.
This remedy has been used with ex-
cellent results in both the old world
and In the new for many years, and
has been found eftlcacious In some OF
the very worst cases. The Deseret
News has also published many times
the following simple remedy and pre-
yentlve, that was used during smallpox
epIdemics in England with success sew
eral years ago, and has been adopted
in a number OF instances In Utah; viz:
Cream OF tartar, ? o.; Epson salts,
o.: one lemon sliced; IN one quart
boiling water; sweeten with sugar to
taste. Dose for an adult, a small wine
glcesful three times a day. less for
children according TO age.
We believe the best remedies and
precautions to be observed in epidem-
les are isolation and sanitation. Every
case should be Isolated, Quarantine
rules should be strictly compiled with.
Cleanliness should be observed All
focal and waste matter should be re-
moved and deeply buried. Dlslnfect-
ants should be literally used as re-
qnired by the proper officer and every
effort possible be put forth to prevent
the spread Of contagion. We believe
that more is accomplished by these
means to stamp out the dreaded dis
ease than any other precautions. AT
the same time We do not desire to
throw straw or a nostrum in the way
of wise advice from competent physi-
clans.

The change of front regarding the
acceptance of arbitration conditions
hints strongly OF an awakening on the
part Of Europe to the fact that the sem
timent concerning the Monroe doctrine
Is much more earnest In this country
than had been supposed. The assent to
arbitration though couched In guarded
terms, is a gratifying Indication that
England and Germany do not wish
needlessly 10 provoke that sentiment.
With proper care and diplomacy IL
should now be possible to get the Ven
ezuelan trouble settled under conditions
which will secure the enforcement Of
the awards OF arbitration.
