Let pastor and Sunday school teacher

Jesus and the apostles were Jews.
that Jesus obtained his training in
Jewish schools: that he preached in
synagOgucs: let the Jewish origin of
Christianity be acknowledged and the
consequent debt of the latter to the
former: let the intimate connection
between many Christian and Jewish
teachings be set forth. Preacher and
teacher need not cXtol the beauty and
glory of Christian truth the less they
can continue To show the superiority
of Christianity as the highest revcla-
ton of the divine spirit. as is right
and natural for them to do from their
standpoint: but they can also take
pains to impress their pupils and
hearers that even though Jews and
other unbclicvers are not basking in
the light of Christianity. they are
still Gods children. When. in my
Sunday school. for example. the story
of Jesus of Nazareth and the rise of
Christianity are taught. this is done
in thoroughly sympathetic spirit.

time the youth are impressed with the
thought that Christians and Jews
alike are children of the eternal
Father. that although we differ in re

ncighbors. we are united to one an
other by the bond of human brother
hood. IF. i'm the Christian interna

the greatest step forward imaginable
in educating the youth away from

After all. religion should be the tie
that binds. not the force that disrupts.
Christianity is the religion OF the
great majority of men and women in
this western world. Upon this great
majority rests the responsibility of
spreading the reign of humanity and

The most fragrant example of re
ligiols prejudice among us is that OF
Christians against Jews. That such
prejudice exists it were futile to deny.
Illustrations of its ubiquity can be
cited by the score \ most intelligent
English observer has been writing
recently to the London Times his i'm
pressions of New York Jewry.
Although not jew, his attitude Is
fair and sympathetic. In the course
of one of his communications he
writes: Evidence of il vast prejudice

Hundreds of similar experiences oc-

crs. The Christian child from its ear
liest years is taught to look upon the
Jews as the enemies of Christ: 1t Is
taught that him the Jews crucitied;
that having rejected him as the savior
they are lost and damned to eternity.
One might almost say that the CHRIS

with its mothers milk. Such inf'u-

TO overcome. The Christian child

TALK CLIMATE AT HOME.

Ihe CEDAR RAPIDS Republican be-
lieves that instead of complaining
about the drouth, Iowans should be
gratified that the dry spell is of
comparatively short duration. The Re-
publican compares conditions in Iowa
with conditions on the Pacific coast,
where the natives talk climate con-
tinually, and Iowa is shown to have
little reason for complaining. The Re-
publican says:
Three weeks without rain is bad
enough. The dust is bad enough. But
what would you think if it were
stretched to three months, and then to
three times three months, almost ?
But that is the kind of weather they
have on the Pacific coast, every year.
Sometimes 1t rains in summer time,
but the rain Is not enough to make an
impression on the dust that lies lodged
in all the trees and on the grass,
where there is any grass, which is
only where irrigation or sprinkling is
resorted to. In addition to all, the
dust there is lighter than it is here
because it is lighter soil. And it is
just as hot there as it is here, except
in spots, and in other spots, especially
back of the first coast range, it is in
finitely hotter, the mercury rising to
ITO and even 100 at San Bernadino,
the Needles and even at Spokane, or
it's vicinity. And then they talk elm
ate to us because our winters are
cold Let us do a little talking Of
climate ourselves. We are as well off
as any of them, and a little better
than many of them.
And there is the corn, too. What is

dust when the corn is growing yards
high in this ideal September wealth

Iowa is becoming fruit state. We

fruit line as we should have done, but
we are doing better; there's millions
in fruit for those who wish to engage

going after some of those millions.
The list might be extended, but it
isn't necessary to prove Iowa's ma
terial greatness.
Last of all. we have the people, thu
kind of people that make common

the kind of people needed to make the
most out of our great opportunities.

such.

WHAT IOWA CAN GROW.

IoWa's success in growing peaches
is proof to the Marshalltown Times
Republican that we can grow anything
in this state. The Times-Republican
mentioned the peach crop in recalling
the old SANDER of years ago that you
can't grow fruit in Iowa." and express
ed the belief that Eve can raise any
thing in Iowa" Doubtless we could
grow bananas if we took the notion, It
asserts, or oranges if the corn fields
and the hogs and cattle and dairy
business didn't occupy so much of our
time. Here is the Times-Republican's
view of what Iowa may do some day
in the way of growing peaches:
Long ago Iowa soil and climate
made definite and decisive answer to
those who said, years since when Iowa
was young and untried, "you can't
grow fruit in Iowa" Iowa simply
went to work and raised big red APP
pies and the various staple fruits that
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois had denied
her and thus quieted forever SLAM

grew mostly apples for the apple is
the most staple Of all tree fruits, and

Of swine and cattle and getting ready
to raise 100 bushels of corn to the
acre to pay much attention to peaches
and kindred fruits more susceptible to
frost and requiring greater attention.
Now that she has got the farm paid
for and built a fine white house and
big red barn Iowa is ready to give
little more attention to Injuries. So
she is growing peaches real peaches,
big juicy rotund peaches with the
smooth blushing outside beauty and
the rich juicy pulp that marks this
royal fruit at its best. Away up in
what used to be considered the arc
tic circle by a lot of eastern people
who didn't know much about it, in
northern and northwest Iowa, she is
growing peaches that match any
states "Albertas'' and her peach trees
hold up their heads with those of
Michigan. OF course we don't, as yet,
make specially of the peach. We

The third presidential election in
the United States was the first cam
paign characterized by anything like
"a strict party contest. Dissensions at
home and perils brought on by the
French revolution abroad engendered
almost continuous internal dispute
through Washington's second admin
istration. The development and ex-
pansion Of political parties was the
logical result and made inevitable a
party struggle for the choice of his
successor. Jefferson, who had retired
from the department of state in 1893,
was the natural leader Of the Repub-
licans, while John Adams, who WIS
then completing his second term as
vice president, was the most available
Federalist candidate.
Still was there no party machinery
for nominating party tickets and It
therefore became ma Ter for common
agreement and consent. Accordingly
Jefferson was joined with Aaron Burr,
a New York politician of prominence
and ability, as the Republican ticket,
while Adams was joined with Thomas
tiator of the Spanish treaty, as the
IFederalists' candidate
1t must be borne in mind at this
point that the constitution now pro
vided that each elector in the elector-
al college should vote for two per-
sons and that the one receiving the
highest number OF votes should be
