.THE BLOOD ACCUSATION"
It Was This Ancient Charge That
Caused the Kishinef Massacre,

William II. Curtis in 4 Washington
special to the Chicago Record Herald
says: The recent massaeres of Jews in
Russia, according 10 newspaper reports
were provoked by what has come TO he
known as the "blooa accusation.p III is
charged that the Jewish rabbis killed a
Christian child for its blood, to be used
ia the unleavened bread Of the passover.
This is not new charge against the
Jews. Ii was first made in the twelfth
century and has been persisted in until
the present day. 1t usually crops mp at
Easter time. which generally occurs
shortly after the Jewish passover.
The origin of the charge is supposed
20 be based upon the notion that as the
Jews ceased to make animal sacrifices
after the destruction of the temple they
would endeayor 10 find a substitute in n
Christian. ahj sometimes the idea is put
forth that, after sacrificing a Christian
child, its blood is used for mixing the
unleavened bread This accusation has
been formally made hundreds of times,
resulting in riots. criminal trials and sew
eral massacres. and although distinguish
ed rabbis have publicly and solemnly
sworn that human blood is never used
in the Jewish ritual. and many popes,
emperors and distinguished Christian
scholars have expressed their belief in
these statements and have condemned
the authors of the accusation 1t contin-
ues to be reiterated in eastern Europe,
and even in this. the twentieth century
There is similar superstition among
ignorant Chinese who have been taught
10 believe that the Christian missionaries
kill little children and boil their bodies
| in order to extract oil fer medicinal pur-
poses. Several riots have occurred in
China on this preteXt. The anti Chris
tian riots in 1895 were started b., an inn
prudent missionary, who took a little
child away from mother, who was beat
ing it, and carried il TO his home
The mother started the story that the
missionary had stolen the child for the
purpose above described a1d called upon
the neighbors 20 assist in its rescue. Out
of this grew riot in which church and
several houses were burned and several
people killed. and the trouble spread all
over the province.
The old women gossips of China used
to represent-and probably do so still
that the Pr0testants sent their oil of
children to Queen Victoria and that the
/ Catholics sent theirs to the Pope.

Suicide.-We are living in an age of
suicide. Old and young, for cause and
without cause, are laying violent hands
ON themselves. Every day witnesses
new tragedy. and prognostics are
favorable to forebodings concerning
our moral condition in the immediate
future.-Rev. G. c. LoriIner, Baptist,
New York City.
Two Types of Religion.-History
has been struggle between two types
of religioE-one which makes the Deity
a convenience, and the other which
makes him sovereign. The time is
come for some stout. open denying of
these superstitious notions, which have
gathered like barnacles around Chris
tianity-Rev w. B. Thorp, Congrega-
tionalist, Chicago, Ill.
Affairs Of prayer-In the home
there should be more affairs of prayer;
many are tumbled down and need re-
pairing. There is a wonderful power
attached to the earnest prayer of a
parent, and the home that has its altar
of happiness, for Gods blessing will
rest upon that home--Rev L. NJ. Zip-
norman, Lutheran, Baltimore, Nd.
Life and Death.-In every sphere
the wisest and most powerful and the
richest move on between life and
death. The foreign substances in the
flesh may be seen. bl1 the marrow in
the bone is yelled for the wisest of
men. and the scholar who knows all
the hooks of time can not tell what a
day may bring forth. Rev. ]. B.
StoefIieb, Lutheran, Jersey City, y. ].
The Sense OF Duty.-It is this sense
of duty which calls upon you and
upon me, which guides you and guides
me, which pushes you and pushes me
to do the thing we do not want. to
stand in the strain, to lift heavy bur
dens, to 90 without the comforts. to
seek WEAKNESS and not rest, sweat
and not sleep, that is the greatest
gift of God to us. because it makes
OF lis creators with God. makers of
something and through this making
we prove our divinity.-Rey. j. L.
Jones. Independent Chicago Ill.
The True Reyiyal.-A true revival
of religion would mean the smashing
of many programs, the breaking
up of many cherished places. the sac
rificing of many personal interests.
Theaters and card parties would have
IN ha abandoned and bucinpSs now cou-
ducted upon dishonest principles would
have to Ge given up There would have
TO be a general cleaning up in all
our churches and all the ritualistic
tomfooIeries and red tape religion
would have to 20. God wants none Of
these thi2gs. All these things are in
the way Of true revival Of religion.

AN UNsoLvED WORLD.

BY Rev. ". a. bartlett. ID. ID.
We keep hearing this word problem
until we are impressed that ours is
an unsolved world There is the prob
lem of the negro, and the problem of
the trusts, and the problem of munie-
ipal government and clean streets. No
two voices suggest the same solution,
although the dominating tone is re-
course to the law.
But Jesus solved all these problems
there by that little Lake of Galilee.
When 5000 people intruded on His
privacy He had compassion on them !"
To His sympathetic vision they were
not wolves. but sheep Unsupported.
When men have compassion on the
multitude and use their enormous pow
ers to bring coal and bread and meat
cheaply to all who need them the trust
problem will be solved. When city
officials take the view of Jesus and
forget their politics and their own sor-
did ambitions, and tax dodgers pay
what is their debt, and there is a
common civic pride. the problem of
good government and clean streets will
be solved-but not till then.
The disciples said: Send the multi
tude away to buy food" Jesus said:
Give We them to eat Then He
Showed them how it could be done.
SelfishneSs says send the negro away.
send the poor away, send anyone away
who troubles us and makes a problem.
Jesus says teach them and, feed them.
and those you have thought were
wolves win appear to be sheep after

down. This exertion was a serious
waste of breath, and after what APP
peared to be ten or fifteen seconds the
effort of inspiration could no longer be
restrained, ard pressure of the chest
began to develop.
The most striking thing he remem-
bered was the great pain in the chest,
which increased at every effort of ex-
piFation and Inspiration. 1t seemed as
if he were in a wise, which was grad
ually being screwed up, until it felt as
if the sternum and spinal column must
break, The 'gulping" process became
more frequent for about ten efforts,
and hope was then extinguished.
The pressure after these gulps SEEM
ed unbearable, but gradually the pain
seemed to ease up, as the carbonic
acid was accommodating in the blood.
At the same time the efforts at in
spiration, with their accompanying
gulps of water, occurred at longer and
longer intervals. The writer's mental
condition was then such that he APP
peared to be in a pleasant dream, but
still had enough win power to think of
friends at home, etc. Before finally los
ing consciousness the cnest pain had
completely disappeared, and sensation
was actually pleasant. When con-
seriousness returned he found himself
on the surface of the water (probably
from the action of the life belt), and
finally managed to reach shore.
