HOW LEADING CITIES APPEAR
'sThe Increase in the South
Compared With That
in the North.

Since 1880 the city of Washington,
(which now includes the whole of the
Distrio. of Columbia, has had the dis
tinCtion of containing the largest ne
gro population of any city in the
country. Residents declare TO visitors
that there are 100000 blacks there,
and that they constitute nearly one
half of the population. A police CEN
suJ of Washington, just compls'ted
finds, out of a Total population of
3S9, 400, 241 ,920 whites and 97,4S3 color
ed. AS the Mongolians and Indians
there numbered less than 500 in 1900,
It may be assumed that the negroes
themselves make a total of nearly
$1,000, or about 2S.7 per cent. of the
city's inhabitants.
This is by no means a large proper
lion for Southern city. AS it is, the
blacks in Washington have diminished
relatively to the whites since 1900
when they constituted 81 per cent.
of the inhabitants. The number OF
negroes in cities of 100000 inhabi-
tants and over at the last three CEN
suses is shown by the appended table;

has ehe largest proportionate number

A REAL, LIVING TRUTH.

The Rev. Rufus Weaver, pastor of the
Mt. Auburn Baptist Church. of Cincinnati, is
AN exceptionally wise man, and is far wiser
than many of his brethren. During the
course of his everyday investigations he has
managed to stumble upon grand truth, and
what is more. he has manifested the courage
50 lacking in the clergy that he has dared to
give utterance to it from his pulpit. Rev.
Weaver has had the good fortune to per
cevc IL truth and did not hesitate to make
il known

fallacious systems handed down by inheritance
frcm an ignorant past What is more the
Christian church will never ENJOY witnessing
a return of the people to its folds. Tn"
people are 10 longer built that way. Th'sc
facts appear perfectly plain to Mr. Weaver,
in that he is quoted saying
People who don't 90 to church wouldn't
come if the rich were to be grilled They
stay away because they are growing indifler'
ent and find satisfaction elsewhere than in
church,
Such a tran cendcnt truth was never uttered
by II clergyman before and Rev. Weaver is
to he congratulated that he is able to stand
out one of his profession who can recog-
nize Il truth when he meets one and is not
afraid to admit it. If he would probe
little deeper into his own congregation he
would find that many of the so called business
men who attend church do in the hope of
attracting opportunity instead of wishing to
live and grow in Christian grace. lie would
find many who came there from n purely
selfish motive for personal interest. He
would also find out what took him there.

faithful would be left?

CHRIST KILLERS"

Christians invented the SANDER that the
jew i righteous proud. IL they did the worst
charge of all. that the jew knows not virtue
and through him comes all evil And it is.
not the only SANDER Christians have invented.
The above quotation is taken from pub
lished portion of a sermon delivered by Rabbi
Emil G. Eirsch of Sinai Temple Chicago. The
sermon was in reputation of the charge. also
made by Christians, that the Jews killed
Christ and reference is made to the fact that
Christian children supposedly trained in the
ethics of human charity and virtue will point
the finger of scorn at Jewish children,
the streets. and contomptuously call him
Christ killer
Being reminded of the fact that the Blade,
some time ago, took occasion to criticise
reported saving of DIR. Hirsch which, after
wards turned out to be an untruthful report,
we are extremely cautious about treating any
newspaper report of what the eminent Rabbi
might have to say, wishing to avoid any in
justice, but the foregoing is 50 strikingly in
line with the best Jewish thought of the day
that if he did not make use of the words
attributed to him, he need not be ashamed
of them, for they are absolutely true.
