JEW AND CHRISTIAN
CLAUDE MoNTEFIoRE WRITES
 OF. RULING PRINCIPLES.
Says Many Christian Doctrines Date
 Back to old Testament and Rab- ; bis-Gospels Give New Les .i sons of Nobility.

A celebrated English Jew. Mir. Claude Montefore. has recently written a no table paper on the question of Chris. tian tenets; in which paper he tells the Christian readers that some of the articles they imagine to be distinctive ly Christian were and are Jewish; the Jewish reader is informed there is less divergence than popularly supposed be. tween the Christian tenets and the old rabb;nical ideas, and in addition the beauty and nobility of points in the Christian faith are pointed out
 Whatever MT Montefore may have to say is worthy of consideration, his standing. not only among his own peo- pie, but with both Jew and Gentle. is of the highest He Is president of the Anglo-Jewish association. and is foun- der of the Jewish Quarterly Review. He was born in London and educated at BaIliol college. Oxford. He has been deeply interested in work in be- half of the Jews of London, and has held important posts in the Jewish in stitutions of that city.
 Mir. Montenore remarks that Chris tians of to-day are apt to think it is from the Gospels the world has had conception of the fatherhood of God. of a deity of loving kindness: where as to the rabbinic. medieval and mod ern Jew it was and is the A B c of his religion"
 Wherein progress has been made from the rabbinic religion. is pointed out: ''I do not mean to say that other principles, such as that of the divine forgiveness. did not frequently cross the tit for tat. but still t seems true to say that tit for tat occupies a very large place in Jewish ethics and re- IIgion. Now the teachings of the syn optic Gospels (Matthew. Mark. Lukel seem to traverse that doctrine in many different ways
 As we review the article written by Mr. Montehors, which appeared in the Hilbert Journal (Londonl and Is brought to our notice by comments and excepts in the Literary Digest. we are awakened anew to the spirituality of the Christian religion-and read a ser mon more forcefuI than ws have heard for long.

kind of passionate glorification of re. nunciation and diversity as marks of true discipleship. and as the one sure passport to Heaven"
 Materialism, the bane of modern life, is laid low, MT. Montefiore quotes from Prof. Bradley: Its goods which we covet corrupt us; it's ills. which wreck our bodies. set our souls free; our whole attitude in asking or expecting that goodness should be prosperous is wrong; if only we could see things as they are, we should see that the out. ward is nothing. the inward Is all"
 Other higher life taught by the Cos pels is that renunciation, self-sacrifics and endurance help not only ons's cell but one's associates. Tn the past the Jew has accused the Christian of a selfish as well as ascetic and impossi. ble morality; averred that in saving his own soul he was thoroughly en. grossed, and that he was setting ur impractical standards. This Jew to. day tells us the endurance and renun, cldton inspire Olnerh.
 In regard to the religion of service as preached in the Gospels, the writer says: "Lowly. active service for the benefit of the humblest is an essential feature of the synoptic religion. He who would be great among you, lei him be your servant It is not ths will of my Father than one of these little ones should perish The teach. ings of the synoptics in this matter seems to cluster round those three great sayings: The Son of Man came not to be ministersd unto, but to minis ter T came not to call the righteous. but sinners. The Son of Man came to geek and to save that which vas Iosti And here once more we seem cognizanf of fresh and original teachings. uhiee has produced fruit to be ever rsckone6 among the distinctive gIoriss of Chris tisnity."

Harry Skibling Myrtle saw the young man not infrequently, however, on her way to the notion department, or the ribbon de- partment or to some other of the de- partments. He saw her. too, and never failed to smile as she passed and to look wistfully after her. It seemed to him ages before she stopped.
 T don't really want to buy anything, |" she said, but did want to look at that gray broadcloth."
 Tt doesn't matter whether you want to buy anything or not" said Mir. skib- ling. 'T'lI show you all the goods I've got and be tickled to death. Say, don't you want to come in tomorrow? There's sale on and I may find another bargain for you. Why don't you stop once in awhile?"
 T am stopping, ain't IF" asked Myr- tie.
 T wish you'd had that suiting sold you sent" said Mir. Skibling, with seeming irrevelance.
 Why on earth?" asked Myrtle, won, deringly.
 Because I'd know your name and where you live if you had" said Mr. Skibling, with desperate boldness.
 Myrtle picked up a corner of the gray broadeloth and examined it intently.
 
 Mir. Skibling looked decidedly uncom- fortable. 'I didn't mean to get too gay" he stammered.
 Myrtle looked up with a smile. T'd just as soon tell you as not" she said.
 It was perhaps three months later that Myrtle entered the store and walked tc the dress goods counter without the least hesitation. Mir Skibliug was waiting on another customer. but though the other clerk was disengaged he made no offer to wait on her. Nor did the floor walker attempt to reproye him for his inattentiOn to business. but passed on with a glance and an induIEent smile.

Of course they don't say anything, but they sort O look, and they are sharp and snippy. like their shears. This young man was so nice that Myrtle ought not to have for gotten him. But she did.
 So much so that she actually went to that very self-same identical store and counter and clerk within three days and asked for samples of the same mixed suitings. You see Myrtle did not get the goods of a skirt every day in the week A skirt with her was an event of frst-class importance.
