government has adopted an order in

naturally to be exceptions in favor of

Then these assistant superintendents
are very officious and restrictive. In
the face of Sir Wilfrid Laurier'
statement, made some time back, invit-
ing colonists, but not colonies, this
new order is very strange. The Jew
ish Chronicle, of London, takes the
view that the assumption is that phil
anthrOpic organizations are emigrat-
ing undesirable immigrants. We can
hardly believe this, since these organi-
cations are very careful. That this
rule will eventually bar English immi-
grants cannot be doubted, and the

inc that the mistake will be rectified

in portraying the Jew in as black

their opinion, exists. But there are
yet others who see the true color of

Bishop Scadding, Of

A Bishops
Tribute

AIAOUse who for some tlma
had charge contiguous to the New
York ghetto, paid somewhat dubious
and crafty tribute to the Jews,
smoothly declaring that they have
been witnesses for God, due to two
great principles of Hebraism-the law
and the promise. Playing about the
great Moses of Jewish history he finds
four great periods of Judaism, all in
stinct with Jewish virtues crystalliZed
into constant expression. Some of our
Jewish Judaism-haters would do well
to perrse this worthy and amianle
tribute, and they will perhaps have to
hide their faces in shame because of
their treachery and ignorance. He,
however, strongly defended the Phar-
isees (for from that body Jesus is sup
posed to have ariSen). since ''they
preserved historic Judaism and pre-
served with great care the deposit o.:
faith,' and it was they also who
kept the light of Judaism burning
during all these centuries of religious
suffering" He warmly commended
the present-day descendants of these
fharlSeeS VINO lnhaDlt the ghetto. and
who, though narrow. are sincere and
loyal, bearing witness to Christ He
praised Pharisaic self denial prac-
ticed among these Jews today. and il
the same breath declared that they
still give their sons to Christ. and
such become an ornament to the
church, exampling two church dign-
taries, Shereschewski and Edersheim
two miserable, cringing. and doubt
less mercenary renegades. He severe
ly denounced the old-timc Sadducees
who, disappearing at the time of the
Temples S destruction. reappeared and
became reincarnated in the modern
reform Jew. He. however. acknowl-
edges the Christian debt to the Jews
in full. but how peculiarly Christian
he is in his expression. Comment Is
superfuous.

Judaism and humanity; it has
pointed the way of Jewish reform and
development, though it has not stood
prominently alone IN this task. Other
Jewish congregations have likewise
contributed largely to this grand
achievement. TO complete and round
off the fiftieth year and jubilee of its
usefulness, it proposes to build a
grander and larger structure. in order
to accommodate and extend it's fields
of work. We cannot but wish it every
success. In one respect must we diff
fer from the statement of the report.

is mistake. The Jewish pulpit in

an anomaly. The activity of this or
