THE STORY OF THE
WANDERING JEW

A discussion has broken out in Eu-
rope as to whether the story of the
Wandering Jew, Ahasperus, which was
started in the seventh century, came
Of a legend or was wholly a myth. 1T
seems to us a most unproftabie ques-
tion to discuss. The world at that
time was filed with legends, and it
seems to rs it would have peen a ma
tnrai theme for an imaginative writer
to pick one and elaborate it into a
story. 1t was that this Jew scoffed
at the sufferings of the Savior, and
after the crucifxion he could no more
return to Jerusalem, and every hun
dred years his wasted frame was re-
newed. He could not die, but was
compelled to wander up and down
the earth, and would be SO doomed
until the second coming of the Mes
siah.
Now, not long after the coming o.
the Christian era, the Jews were again
dispersed and driven out of the
"Holy City," for there was nothing
for them to do there. They kept their
race exclusion perfectly There was
no intermarriage with Gentiles - a
thousand years after the c%ruclfxion
a Jewish patriarch in Jerusalem could
not have been distinguished from one
who was there when Solomon's temple
was under construction; the race had
all its distinctive features; Wien one
IN his extreme age died he was re-
newed in his child.
Hence it has always seemed to MS
That the story was meant to perfectly
represent the race, wandering in ev-
cry land; q distinct race .verywherc;
IN all their holy houses singing of the

to the city of their fathers; having
the exact type of the race transmitted
from father to on, generation after
generation; moving among men as dis

turies, unchanged in disposition and

CORPORATIONS industrial life and indi-

considered in many commencement addresses

Institutions of learning Tainted wealth is still

The eminent educator argues that individual

union OF several men does away with individual
responsibility by dividing it. The destruction
OF individual responsibility" he says, is the de-
struction OF unity. 1t was this that caused the
downfall OF Rome; it was this that made neces-

desire for municipal ownership"
Modern industrial life, however is different
from what it was in the older days We have in

In modern life, despite the views of the Nassar
teacher, the average individual is small factor.
Only when he acts through government in deal

should have sound and intelligent views these

 The report attracted a good deal of attention and excited much discussion among the trustees but the decision was reached that were not prepared at this time to distribute the proposed funds I. had been expected that final action would DC taken at todayS meeting.
 No reason was stated for the boards decision. Prof. wfckliffee Rose. of the Peabody college of teachers at Nash villee was chosen general agent of the board in place of Dr. Samuel Greene of Boston who has heretofore occupied the position ofrgcreraf agents and secretary to tho board fDr. Greene will continue as secsataFf fs fs< gever. ..
 He said after the meeting that the ed- ucation fund will be distributed among fourteen southern states and that 1t Is probable the Peabody Normal colle-e which was founded by Mir. Peabody will be the benefactor of about a million dollars of the fund when the distribu- tion is made. He said the trustees were favorably impressed with that insti.u- ton.
 Of the sixteen trustees twelve were present among the absentees being President Roosevelt. Those present were Shief Justice Fuller who presid- ed; J. D. Porter of Tennessee; H. NJ.
