The Jewish outlook., 1907-10-25

Protestanism. Now things assumed
serious aspect. What was to be done
under such circumstances Granbaum
at once resolved to leave his native land
as soon as possible, and to seek rest
ing place in a country where he might
freely and openly embrace Judaism.
This resolution he impaired to his good
wife, in which she readily concurred,
repeating to him the words of Ruth:
"Whither thou goest, / will go, and
where thou lodgest, l will lodge; thy
people shall be my people, and thy God
my God"
One day the church authorities de-
puted a clever clergyman to go and see
Granbaum and ask him for his reasons
why his belief in Christianity became
shaken and unstable The deputy cler-
gyman, true to his mission, heaped re-
proaches upon Granbaum for having re-
jected the only true soul-saving faith,
and wishing to embrace Judaism, a re-
ligion held in contempt by all civilized
nations, and which is daily waning and
dwindling down to naught"
''Why," retorted Granbaum, edo you
speak so scornfully of Judaism9 Do
not you know that this very Judaism
was the first light-spreading faith
among mankind, when idolatry and
mental darkness covered the face of the
earth? You cannot deny that both
Christianity and Mohammetanism are
based upon Judaism, how could those

Cranbaum. the Proselyte

"Granbaum was the name of man
descended from noble Swedish family
He was distinguished for signal SER
vices rendered to his country, and in the
year Ills, was appointed by the King
of Sweden, Burgomaster of the city of
LinkOping. In his capacity of magistrate
Granbaum discharged the duties of his
Office to- the satisfaction of the entire
community. Both the King and the peo-
pie liked him for his wisdom and integ-
rity of character. Granbaum married
the daughter of one of the most notable
Swedish families, and lived happily with
his wife, by whom he had several chill
dren.
1t so happened that Granbaum assid-
uously began to read the Old Testa-
ment, and thus Judaism appeared to
him in quite different light than usu-
ally presented; and comparing the ra-
tional teachings of Moses and the proph-
cts regarding God and man with the
obscure, mystical and dogmatic doc
trines Of Christianity, he felt that Ju-
daism would more harmoniZe with the
aspirations of his heart. would more
satisfy the inmost cravings of his soul
and be more in keeping with the en-
lightenment of his mind than Chris
tianity. He communicated his thoughts
to his wife, and after having repeat
edly and earnestly convered with her
on the subject, she fully coincided with
him and shared his thoughts and feel
ings with regard to Judaism. In their
domestic life they even introduced some
Jewish observances. They strictly kept
the Jewish Sabbath day. They did not
allow any biblically pronounced unclean
meats to be used on their table. The
Lutheran church they visited but very
rarely, and this they have done only
out of fear, lest they be detected as
apostates. and accordingly to the then
existent laws of Sweden, they would
have had to undergo the heaviest pen
atty of the law, viz: DEATH for chang
ing the Lutheran form of Christianity;
or, if pardoned by the King, the SEN
tence of death would have been COM
muted for expatriation.
Yet it was not long before the priests
discovered the change in Granbaum s
religious views and sentiments. In
their zeal for religion they accused
Granbalm of having wilfully abandoned

Contest for a Child.

A rather unusual case was heard by
Judge McCorkle on Friday last, being
an ACTION brought by w. o. Shear, o1
Hillsboro, to obtain possession of the
eight months old son of his brother,

The action was brought on writ of
aabeas corpus, and the case is not only
"a peculiar but pathetic one Paul

Mrs. Carlos Shear and came into the

gained the consent of Mr.. Shear $

to ViroEua and secured the necessary

session of the little one. Mrs Zim-

important chans..sc ci'y Schools.

At the regular meeting of the school
board on Tuesday evening of this week,
the following resolution was adopted:
Be it hereby resolved: That joint school district
No. l. city and town of Viroqua be and hereby is
withdrawn from under the jurisdiction and super
vision of the county superintendent of schools and
formed into independent superintendency un-
der supervision of city supern tendenr of schools
in accordance with Chapter 360 Laws of 1903,
amended by Chapter Ss8, Laws of 1906
Professor w. P Colburn was elected
to the position without additional salary
for the present school year This ac-
ton was taken after due consideration
and correspondence with State Super
intendent c. P. Cary. 1t is now deemed
wisest to keep such systems of schools
as cur city has built up. under closer
system of superintendency than the
county superintendent can possibly give
them. Indeed, for many years past, al
though our principal has been given
more than half his time for superinten-
dency of our schools he was given the
title of prime ipal only For the futnre
he will be known as principal and sup
erintendent OF city schools. The new
office viii add to his former duties the
making of certain reports and special
examinations of teachers.

EDITOR CENSOR: After reading the

the company now living will remember
that Frank 5. Haskell was our First
lieutenant, and also adjutant of the
regiment. He was a perfect gentle
man and an ideal soldier, whose mem
ory | revere. 1t has been my good for
tune, recently, to come into possession
of a posthumous letter written by him
July l6, 1868, describing the battle of
Gettysburg. Many have attempted to
write of this battle, but the paper of
Frank ). Haskell is the most minute,
graphic and thrilling ever penned Lieu
tenant Haskell was on the staff of Gen.
eral John Gibbon, who commanded the
Second corps, also aid to Generals Han
cock and Meade. 1t was the bravery
of Lieutenant Haskell that saved the
second day, and also saved the army
from defeat when Pickett's gallant Vir-
ginians made that terrible assault on
the third day of July. He was very
where present in the fight when lear
headed judgment and quick dec ision
were necessary, and practically in COM
mand of the Second corps. Later on
he was made colonel of the Thirty
Wisconsin Regiment and fell at Cold
Harbor on June 8, 1864, while leading a
brigade in that fearful fight. When
General Gibbon heard that Haskell had
been killed, he said: THE Potomac ar
my has lost its best soldier" Thus,
Mr.. Editor, you can readily see the
honor which came TO Old Vernon. On
his monument should be inscribed:
