Chinese labor i'm the Transvaal is
ultimately doomed. and all other
Asiatic labor as well. under the new
government. The "Asiatic ordi-
nance" which excludes all kinds OF
Asiatic immigration. has been the
first important legislation TO pass
both branches OF the new colonial
Parliament. What Japan will do is a
question OF some interest. When
British Columbia enacted an exclu-
sion law, the Dominion government
annulled it at the request OF the inn
perial authorities, who sought ia
avoid giving offense to the Japanese
The Transvaal, however. is in more
independent position than British
Columbia: its will can be thwarted
only by the direct action OF the i'm
perial government in London. The
liberal ministry, IL sounded by Japan
on the subject. would probably not
venture 70 veto n measure which ap-
pears to be demanded by an over
whelming majority OF the white peo-
pie OF the Transvaal. Australians eX-
clusion law has never been even
protested by the imperial govern
ment, although the Japanese consid-
cred It a reflection upon themselves

ter the great museums of Berlin, Rome,
Paris, Vienna, they cannot understand
and admire the genius of our most illus
trious painters and sculptOrs, and they
raise a hue and cry about indecency and
immortality. Such people, if they were
consistent, must prohibit the reading OF
the Bible For from their cramped, mar
row point of view the Bible would most
assuredly belong to obscene literature.
Of course, from the viewpoint OF the
scientific student of the Bible and COM
parative religion, no fault can be found
with any of the Biblical narratives,
which simply record myths, legend, his
tory, morals, fables and parallels as they
were related to the authors OF those
days. Students Of literature who are
capable Of entering into the spirit OF an
author do not belong to the superficial

In his Emile" Jean Jaques Rousseau
gives us among many excellent points
on education the following. A father
has an only son, who, until his eight
eenth birthday he had brought up with
out the help of schools of any kind. He
had reared him in full accord with the
laws Of nature and kept him away from
artifciality. After his eighteenth birth
day, however, he took him to Paris and
showed him the sights The last day of
their stay in the 'modern Babel he
showed him also the ''Hotel de Dieu,"
the largest hospital of the French me-
tropolis, which was filled with patients,
mostly young men, who suffered the
most painful diseases, caused through
their own vice. He then told his boy:
Yesterday showed you sin in its most
alluring and enticing colors; to-day you
have seen sin in it's horror. You have
seen cause and effect. You are no longer
a child; you are free to choose" This
is the good old Jewish doctrine of free
dom of will in contradistinction to the
Hellenistic, and later Christian dogma
of original total depravity. The prayer:
''Lead us not into temptation,' is not
Jewish, because incompatible with hui
man nature. Life, from the cradle to
the grave, is a continuous temptation.
The serpent which tempted Eve may
have changed the skin, not, however, the

Maccoth 1917. TO him who is anxious
to be unclean, the doors will be opened,
and he who desires to be purified will re-
ceive all needed help (Joma 39). "By
God are the steps of man established,
but man chooses his way himself"
(Psalms 81 :23). This is not the usual
translation of the text, but it seems to
us that the psalmist wanted to convey
the idea Of our freedom OF will. Ju-
daism has no patience with the silly
Puritanic prohibition system of educa-
ton, which, in order to prevent sin and
crime, would leave no stone unturned to
stamp out every temptation to sin. In
the first place such prophylactic methods
have in all times and climes proven the
most dismal failures, because they are
absolutely incompatible with human ma
ture. "You might just as well attempt
to drive out nature with a pitchfork; it
will always return,'' said the Roman
poet Horace. Nature will continue to
plead and to enforce it's laws and rights,
despite of every temporary restraint
and artificial schemes. The true phrase
that prohibition never prohibits" is
not only applicable in the futile at
tempts to prohibit intoxicating drink,
but in the field Of morals We do not

hypocrisy, and encouraging drunken
