UNITY OF CHRISTIANITY AND JUDAISM
By THEODORE F. SEWARD in the April Arena"

The beginning of the twentieth CEN
tury is signalized by great discov-
cry. 1t is not the perception of any
single mind, but truth that is dawn
ing upon the consciousness of all en-
lightened minds; namely, that the
principles of Christianity and the
principles of Judaism are not antag-
onistic. They are in their essence
identical and sympathetic. Ideal
Christianity and ideal Judaism are
one. The error arose from confound-
ing principles with personality THE
Jews killed Jesus, our Redeemer."
This slogan was sufficient to kindle
and keep alive the deepest prejudices
and most intense hatred of an age of
ignorance and superstition. And one
utterance of the mob at Jerusalem
has unfortunately confirmed and in
tensitied the antagonism.
What has Judaism contributed to
the treasures of the worlds thought
and life? The question may be an
swered categorically: (D Monothe-
ism; (2) Divine Fatherhood; (3) HUI
man brotherhood; az The Ten Com
mandments, embodying perfect sys-
TEN of ethics. This catalogue shows
at glance the impossibility of any
real antagonism between the Hebraic
and Christian systems of thought and
standards of life when rightly under
stood. Now that the theological mist
is rising, and tn smoke of controver-
sy is clearing away, the Messianic
principle (Which is simply love reveal
ed and manifested) is beginning 20 be
recognized as something distinct
from ritualiSm on the one side and
from the theological formulations ON
the other. Hence, many of the Jews
are beginning to say, with Rabbi

Said a friend to the optimist, recently:
You must be a lineal descendant of Har-
old Skimpole, you take such rosy,
dreamy view of life." Oh, no; not so; yet
Harold Skimpole was not such bad fell

abounded with hard knocks. He can

Skimpole did, IT, as generally understood,

THE DEATH OF EMPIRE.
A FORECAST.
By Bertrand shadweil.

By Bertrand Shadweil.
Upon a couch of purple Empire lies;
A jeweled crown insults his CHASTITY
brow:
Hedged by his gilded sycophants he dies:
Nor arms, nor gold. nor craft shall help
him now:
His lined and dreadful face is blank and
white:
Swift to engulf him deaths dark waters
roll:
And, through the gathering shadows OF
the night,
An iron tongue afrights his guilty soul:
Toll for the death of Empire. Through
the gloom,
Deep and vibrating speaks the solemn
bell.
The last dread warning of the coming
doom,
With fell tyrannic hands, he held the
sway,
Through many thousand years of blood
and crime:
Earth's primal murder marked his natal
day;
And Rome's imperial eagle saw his
prime:
In vain the perfect Christ was crucificd-
Twisting His teachings with crafty
wit,
Clothed with his creed, his lessons he
defed-
a Christian conqueror, and hypocrite
He sat with Cyrus at the triumph feast,
Within great BabyIons encircling wall:
He swept with Alexander through the
East:
He tramped with Caesars legions into
Gaul:
He ruled with Charlemagne, in purple
pride,
From Baltic beaches to the mash OF
Spain:
He made the Eastern world shambles
wide,
And piled the bloody heads, with Tam
erlane.
Toll for the death of Empire. Louder
Deep and vibrating speaks the solemn
bell,
The sweat of death is heavy on his brow
His body to the dust, his deeds to hell.
The last and greatest empire of the world,
Turning to cruelty and craft and wrong.
Is down to chaos and confusion hurled
So feeble in its might, which seemed so
strong.
little people struck the feet of clay,
a little people. great in freedoms name,
And Changing iron and brass in pieces lay.
With sword and sceptre, wealth and
power and fame.
We thank thee, Lord, that, through thy
gentle power,
Thy blood redeemeth US from blood at
last;
The hand of time is moving to the hour,
When violence and empire shall have
passed,
When every conqueror, in his murderous
pride,
Shall perish from the land and from the
sea,
And every shacklc shall be cast aside,
And every conquered people shall be
free.
Toll for the death of Empire Close the
eyes,
In which the fell dcspotic flame burns
down;
No more the slave shall quail beneath
their frown:
No more shall triumph light them: En-
pire dies,
Toll for the death of Empire. Cleanse the
hands
Oh, wash the fingers. murderously red.
Stained with the blood of patriots, foul
ly shedi
Go, free the captive nations from their
bands.
Toll for the death of Empire Shut the
lips
Oh shut the lips, so wicked ard so wise,
The cruel, crafty lips, that uttered lies:
How silently they cape, in deaths eclipse.
Toll for the death OF Empire. Lift the
head:
Take OFF the crown of tyranny and fear;
And let no man do honor at the bier.
Ring for the reign of Freedom
Empires dead!

MORAL COURAGE.
By JOHN A. JOYCE.

Don't falter in the battle
When the storm clouds appear:
Moral courage will support you
Every hour and day and year.
And though friends may fall around you,
Like the dead leaves in the blast,
Moral courage will be present
To support you to the last.
And though scandalmonsers peddle
Your name from door to door.
Moral courage, ever faithful,
Will sustain you eyermore.
And when every earthly vision
Fades into eternal night,
Moral courage. still uncOnouered
Leaps into celestial light.

BY ELIZABETH ELLICOTT POE.

Ny garden smiles in feeting summer beauty,
But weeps with fckle April tears,
And lives till the chill October
Air is moaning, then sadly disappears.
The mottled heart of golden Gamma blossom,
That lifts its sweet face to burning sun,
That glows o'erhead in golden splendOr
AS bright when the day had first begun.
1t, joyous with a rhapsody of color
With green shoots clustering close around,
Breathes freely with no thought OF coming trouble
That enters with the cruel winters frown.
Upon the porch, the honey-suckle fragrance
Is mingling with the breath of climbing rose,
While close around the powered cottage window
trumpet bloom its crimson bugle blows.
In modest grace the many-colored pansies
Are smiling with the kiss of dewy morn,
And whisper each to each in loving accents
And sing to all in thankful morning song
And here gOlden-tinted velvet beauty
Reminds of a face | used to love
In Olden years that now, alas are faded,
4 noble heart that rests calm above.
And this with its crown of purple petals
Speaks low of eyes that brightly shOne
On me in days of happy, happy, childhood
In days when only love and JOY were known.
Within the deep of heliotropes sweet message
The pangs of unfOrgotten days entwine,
And torture with innocent demeanor
This hopeless and this living love of mine.

And weeps with tickle April tears;

MISS LIZZIE SNEATHING
Dr.. Hartman, the Famous Gynacolo- gist and Inventor of Pe-ru-na Off, fers to Treat Women Free During the Summer Months.

America is the land of nervous women. The. great majority of nervous women are so because they are suffer ing from some form of female disease By far the greatest number of female troubles are caused by catarrh.
 Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh despair of recovery. Female trouble is so common, so prevalent, that they ac- cept it as almost inevitable. The great est obstacle in the way of recovery is that they do not understand that it is catarrh which is the source of their illness. In female complaint, ninety nine cases out of one hundred are noth- ing but catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
 The following letter was recently re- ceived:
