In regard to the religion of service

JEW AND CHRISTIAN
CLAUDE MONTEFIORE WRITES
OF RULING PRINCIPLES.
Says Many Christian Doctrines Dat"
Back to Old Testament and Rab-
bis-Gospels Give New Les
sons of Nobility.

A celebrated English Jew, Mr.. Claude
Montefiore, has recently written 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 popularity supposed be-
tween the Christian tenets and the old
rabbinical ideas, and in addition the
beauty and nobility of points in the
Christian faith are pointed out.
Whatever Mr.. 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 Balliol 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.
Mr.. Montefore 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 deity of loving kindness; where
Us to the rabbinic, medieval and mod
ern Jew it was and is the A B G Of his
religion
Wherein progress has been made
from the rabbinic religion, is pointed
out: Il 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 it seems true
to say that tit for tat occupies very
large place in Jewish ethics and re
ligion. Now the teachings Of the syn.
optic Gospels (Matthew, Mark. Luke)
seem to traverse that doctrine in many
different ways.
AS we review the article written by
Mr.. Montefore. which appeared in the
Hilbert Journal (London) and is
brought to our notice by comments and
excepts in the Literary Digest, we are
awakened anew to the spirituality Of
the Christian religionand read ser

FUTURE PRICES or LAND.

We are asked what the future price
Of good farm land is likely to be where
it is located in states like Iowa, Nebras-
ka, Kansas, Minnesota and the Dako-
tas, land which now has selling value
of from $50 to $50 per acre. In one
sense land values are governed by the
rental value, but not altogether, for
there is always the home side of the
farm to be taken into consideration
its value as place to live as well as
place on which to make money. In
the best parts of the state of Illinois,
where soil conditions are very similar
to those Of the states named, farms are
now changing hands on basis of from
1925 to $3.50 per acre and justify this
valuation, but it should be noted that
q very different type of agriculture
from the grain raising and grain sell
ing methods of the lands above re-
ferred to is pursued. On these high
priced farms the COW Is the machine
which extracts the profits from the soil
and justifies the prices obtained. When
ever 4 more intensive and sensible
method of treating the soil on the sew
enty dollar land is put into operation
then such land will command higher
prices, but not before

Good Manners.

Good manners are invaluable; thu
charm of politeness cannot be overesti-

oring to the leaves in the fall Of the

comes as a part Of the natural process
Of ripening of the foliage just as it
comes to the ripening fruits. When an
early frost comes it hinders rather than
promotes the coloring process. While
in way there seem to be some gen

constantly violated. 1t may be said
that the foliage of certain trees never
takes on any bright color-for instance,
the bur oak, which merges from the
glossy green into russet, brown al
most without variation, while the
leaves of the jack oak and the red oak
will not infrequently give splendid
display of red, maroon and red brown
tints. Some hard naples, either because
of family trait or because of some
special location. will run wholly to red,
while other naples near by will assume
entirely yellow tint. The elms never
show any red, but are always yellow.
The black cherry will quite often show
up both reds and yellows, while the

the different vegetables grown should
