The Jewish outlook., 1907-01-11


despair r'-even of Christians
Let me say plainly that l hold all these
propositions of self-deluded, though
Congregationalists and what not other
kinds of militant Christians to convert
Jews to Christianity, to be complacent
and arrogant impertinence.
Suppose [ were to turn about and Or
ganize among the Jews a society for con-
verting the Christians to Judaism? That
sounds ridiculously presumptuous, does
it not And yet, having the advantage
of centuries and cosmopolitan expert
ence, and, let me add, the illustrious
company Of Jesus (in itself an evi
dence Of the Jewish genius for re-
ligion) on our side, wherein would
such an attitude be essentially ri
diculous or presumptuous But you
have never heard such a PROPOSE
ton seriously made by sane Jew. Per-
sonally l have never gone farther than to
express my eagerness to assist in con-
verting Christians to Christianity.
Which reminds me of fellow rabbi s
doggerel: Convert your own; let the
Jews alone"
Again, let me suppose that any consid-
cradle number of Jews were presumably
converted. Would they not be held in
the deserved contempt in which custom
arily we hold renegades? For ulterior
reasons thousands of Jews in Europe
have become nominal Christians, so that
they may better their social status, i'm
prove their commercial or political op
portunities, or follow unrestrictedly
some professional career Gall Of which
shall 1 call it "Christian ?''-bigotry
might otherwise deny them). Does any
one respect these "converts' who have
paid for the attainment Of their ends the
highest possible price, namely, their self
respect?
I confess it sickens me to spend
strength upon which I have here said.
But I deem it both desirable and neces-
sary to do my share towards rebuking
what seems to me both personal affront
and social wastefulness. I refer to the
time, money and energy wasted in this
hopeless scheme Of converting us Jews.
In closing, feel that ought to regis
ter conviction that the average Chris
tian has no such desires or delusions
about the Jew. For my own part, l en-
joy most delightful and normal relations
with all kinds Of believers among Jews
and Christians, and with Unitarians and
heretics and pagans and infdels as well.
And [ find endless opportunity for ben
efcial intercourse and profitable cooper

Railway Makes Appeal.

Raleigh N C., Sept.-The appeal of the Southern Railway in the matter of the $30,000 fine imposed on it for selling tickets at rate in excess of two and a quarter cents will be heard in the Supreme Court Tuesday. The Southern pleaded that the federal court having taken jurisdiction of an injunction in the rate matter, the state court did not have jurisdiction; that being forced into the trial in the Tick ct Agent Green case, it is being de- prived of it's property without due pro cess of law; that the prescribing by the courts of the $500 penalty suits by individuals renders null and void any indictment against the road. The state contended that it's courts have jurisdiction, and in enforcing criminal law the federal court cannot inter- vene. and that under the rate law it had a right to indict for a violation of it.

Oil Fields of Fort Smith.

Fort Smiths oil boom continues to grow. A number of outside oil oper- ators are becoming interested. The investigation of the field has devel- oped the fact that this section of the State is not only well supplied with coal and gas but that it has beds of shale and fine grade potter's clay, the equal of which is not found in any part of the United States. It has developed that in some parts of the Massard Prairie where the gas is found in largest quantities, holes have been drilled through beds of this clay 700 feet in thickness. The drill has shown that this shale is of excellent quality, buff, blue and black, soft, medium and hard. It is without break and is suitable to manufacture brick of every conceivable variety. It is rich in aluminium and easy of access and will make high grade tiling. In addition to these deposits, the drill has passed through cement, shale, and coal, and beneath these three valuable miner als, gas has been found in such quan- ties as to lead oil and gas men to say that this field when more fully developed will be the largest gas field in the United States.

TRAGEDY OF A BROADWAY CAR.
Truly It Is "Everybody for Himself" in
 New York.

There were six in the seat of the Broadway surface car which was too many. However, everybody who board ed the car seemed to take fancy to that particular seat, so some were also standing. A very small man sat crouched on the end seat, pretty girl next to him. The small man seemed to be very restless, and no wonder, for all the rest were pushing the pret- ty girl, who necessarily pushed him in a way that seemed to infer that his room was better than his company. At length, unable to endure it any longer, he all at once showed his shoulder under the rail and fell out, apparently.
 Mercy" screamed nervous pas senger, "has he committed suicide?"
 T don't know" answered the pretty girl, but, anyway, I've got the end seat."-N. Y. Press.

Boys Touch Off Gas We'll.

With a roar that could be heard for miles, and which shattered the great 'seffisk 8 gss s, si .se Harry Kelly of the Mansfield Gas Company, on Massard Prairie, five and one-half miles southeast of Fort, Smith exploded recently. Immediate ly the we'll caught fire, and blaze varying from 30 to 100 feet in height lights the country around by night. A party of boys at play touched off a leaking gas pipe and started the first great fire in this gas field. The burning well is the second largest in the field, and has capacity of g. 100000 to 4000,000 feet of gas per day. No steps have as yet been taken to stop the blaze, but it is probably that measures will be tried early next week. The fire is spec tacular in the extreme, and people from far and near are driving to the vicinity of the blaze, which may be plainly seen for ten miles over the level reaches.

Physical Shock Restores Reason.

Ten days ago four Dubois brothers, Fred, Charles, Albert and Louis, left Gravette bound for New Mexico on a prospecting trip. One of the broth CTS, Fred, became demented on the trip and while enroute home he leaped from the rear of the train while 1t was running 40 miles an hour. The train was stopped and backed to the place where he leaped but no trace of him could be found. Just what became of him immediately after is not known as he sustained a broken leg, and severe bruises by the fall and it was impossible for him to go far. Twenty-four hours later he dragged himself to a farmhouse and asked for aid. When he jumped he rolled over and over, being severely injured but reason returned with the physical shock. He cut off his trou- sers leg, and cut some stiff, heavy weeds, and placed them around the leg. Then he bound them with slips of his trousers firmly in place. His belt was used to lash both legs close together to stiffen the injured member. Then he began his wearisome hunt for help.
