The Jews and Iesus.

In the current number of The Lit erary Digest we find an interesting ar ticle on "The Jewish Attitude Toward Jesus" It seems that Rabbi Enelow. of Louisville. Ky, recently urged his congregation to celebrate Christmas, in memory of the birth of a teacher, who 'inculcated the noblest and holiest ten- cts of all true religion" This is re- markable concession which proves the change in sentiment among the Jews, on that question, within comparative ly recent times.
 A similar proof Is furnished by Dr. Isidor Singer. a prominent Jewish the ologian and author. who quotes cmi- nent Hebrews on the same questions. These are among the quotations: From Dr. Morris Pastrow, professor of Sem itic languages in the University of Pennsylvania, we have the following:
 'It is commonly said that the Jews rejected Jesus. They did so in the sense in which they rejected the teac.l- ings of their earlier prophets, but the question may be pertinently asked, Has Christianity accepted Jesus? The long hoped for reconciliation between JuJ daism and Christianity will come when once the teachings of Jesus shall have become the axioms of human conduct
 From the pen of MT Simon Wolf president of the Independent Order B'nai B'rith, we have:
 T look upon him as a great teacher and reformer, one who aimed at the uplifting of suffering humanity, whose every motive was kindness mercy, charity. and justice, and if his wise teachings and example have not al- ways been followed the blame should not be his, but rather those who have claimed to be his followers"
 This is by Dr. N. Porges, rabbi Of Leipsic. Germany:
 "The fact that Jesus was a Jew should. think, in our eyes rather help than hinder the acknowledgment of his high significance. and it is com pletely incOmprehensible to me why Jew should think and speak about Je- Sus otherwise than with the highest respect. although We as Jews repudiate the belief in his Messianic character and his divine humanity with the ut most energy from innate conviction"
 Dr. Singer adds;
 ''In spite of the narrow vestry ond petticoat orthodoxy which a handful of Anglo-OrientaI pseudo -romanticists are anxious to implant just now in the American soil. liberal American Judaism, led by the advanced theolo- gians of the type of Dr. K. Kohier in Cincinnati and Dr. F. c. Hirsch in Chicago. will continue tearing down the walls of separation between the children of the same Father
 The late Dr. Gustav Gotthell is quoted as having asked these ques- lions:
 'If he has added to their (the Jew ish prophets) spiritual bequests new jewels of religious truth, and spoken words which are words of life be- cause they touch the deepest springs of the human heart, why should we Jews not glory in him? The crown of thorns on his head makes him only the more our brother, for to this day 1t is borne by his people. Were he alive today who. think you, would be near CT his heart-the persecuted or the prosecutors ?'

WHAT HE THOUGHT OF IT.

You remember the Ashtabula disas- ter. of course ?" said the man with the double chin. Well, l was one of the passengers on the iH-fated train that plunged through the bridge. For the hour preceding the accident had been arguing religion with fellow passenger, and we had had some very hot words. When I felt the bridge go- ing I had only one thought that af- forwards remembered.'
 And that was whether you would escape death, of course?" was queried.
 "No. sir. I wondered if it were pos sible that I, a consistent and leading member of the Methodist church, would be taken while that dunderhead of a Baptist with whom I had been arguing would be saved to brag over mel"

We got up a big game and got him in, and when the biggest jackpot of the year was on the table we watched out for his humming. He hummed. We thought he had a pair and went in to do him up. but he held fours, and the way he did cripple us was awful to see. I have never had a doubt that Lung Sing stood in with him. and from that day on I never wanted to get brotherly with a John Chinaman. It costs too much"

Deafness Can's be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con- stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustaehian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucuous sur- faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (eaused by catarrhl that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.
