Does Not This Look Very Much Like
BigOtry?

It would be remarkable, II there can
be anything remarkable In the mani
festations OF human inconsistency, that
Jews who are crying out against social
determinations against their race by
Christians are now finding fault with
certain Jews because they accepted
invitations to q recent wedding Of q
Jewess to q Christian.
The Hebrew STANDARD, under the head
ing 1.-THE Climax-Apostasy,' prints
letter from an East Side Jew who refers
bitterly to the fact that, according
to press dispatches, DR.. BLAUsTEIN,
superintendent OF the Educational ALI
ance, Jewish institution, and the Rev.
l.. B. NICHOLSON, In charge Of anti
missionary schools, were present at
the wedding" Another correspondent
calls on Jews, 4for the future welfare
of our race" mot to forget the names
of the prominent men of the Ghetto
who attended this most unusual func-
ton" That Ia, he would have Jews put
a stigma on them.
Another ground OF bitter complaint
by correspondents Of that paper is that
Jewish children are included in parties
taken by humane Christians to get q
few weeks Of country air in seaside
and mountain homes. Moreover. Mr..
ALBERT LUCAS, secretary Of the Union
Of Orthodox Jewish Congregations, at
tacks with some violence the Settle
ments" on the East Side and in Brooklyn
because they are Of Christian foundation.
For example, he quotes from the report
of a young women's settlement In
Brooklyn this paragraph as a fragrant
example Of an appeal to the anti-Jewish
sentiment 80 rampant among illiberal
Christians:
"one Jewish mother said when the Children
cry. I say. Run on up TO that wllloughby House.
they make you 30 happy up there. and know they
won't do you no HARM Fathers have como TO
investigate because their boys have told Of tho
club. Mothers have como saying. She told mo
such tales about this house I had 70 come 70 ses
for myself"
What is there so fagitious in that?
We infer from the letter OF Mr.. LUCAS that
it Is merely that this club has for ito
announced aim ito make q larger, truer
life possible for 'cnr people and to have
every club and class carried on In the
love Of CHRIST
In this country Of religious freedom
shall anybody be debarred from incul-
eating the precepts of religion and from
practising its charity?
In the Ghetto there is much poverty,
and the opportunity there for the relief
Of suffering and for sending a ray OF
sunshine into the lives of children oooped
up in dingy tenements would seem to be
large enough FOR good men and women,
both Jewish and Christian.
There seems to be room for Christian
efforto Of the sort due to Jewish neglect.
A Jew writes to the Hebrev Standard
that he has long 'agitated for the estab-
lishment OF Jewish. settlements as q
counter influence to the Christian mis-
sions, but with little or no result. "Over
and over again has Mr.. LUCAS made
appeals through the press for assistance
in his work, but no response has been
received from the East Side:
1T seems 10 me thst the bus'le IS ,s.iac, ~, 10
imprcgnstsd the young men and women of the
East side that unless they get their moneys worth
