Theme of illustrated Lecture by
Philip Sidersky.

1.-The Jewish Immigrants in America
was the subject of an illustrated address
last Thursday evening at the Central
Presbyterian Church by Philip Sidersky
Of Baltimore. superintendent of Emman-
Sidersky brought out many things about
the existing conditions in Russia and
among the Jewish refugees in America.
Illustrations used in the lecture were from
number of photographs taken at the
time of the massacres, which were sent to
the lecturer by his friends in Russia.
Mr.. Sidersky quoted from statistics.
showing that in the century lately closed
224 600 Jews became Christians Among
them were Prof Bentley. Sir julius Bene-
dict. DR.. Essential. Isaac da Costa, Sir
Michael Coates, DR.. Paulus Cassel and
Benjamin Disraeli
The lecturer pointed out the change of
attitude of many of the noted Jewish
leaders in England and the United States
by quoting from recent sermon delivered
by one of the most noted rabbis in Amer
ca. DR.. Joseph KFauskOpf of Philadelphia,
as follows: Not one Christian or Jew,
theologian or historian. believer or I'M
believer, who, freeing himself from every
prejudice and bias, who studies the New
Testament history as he would study any
other but soon finds that history fails to
give even the slightest grounds for hos
tility OF the Jews against Jesus"
In speaking about the Jews generally
Mr. Sidersky stated that, notwithstanding
their wealth. their culture and influence,
Israel is the poorest and weakest people
in the world. The shutting out of few
Japanese children from an American
school has not been overlooked either by
the Japanese or the United States govern
ment: whereas the massacre of thousands
of Jewish mothers and children has been
ignored nv the governments of the world
and therefore 1t behooves the American
Christians to impart Christlike spirit to
the Jewish refugees who come In large
numbers to this country.

339 What warrant is there for Christian
burial in view of the contempt for the
dead body evinced ip 'let the dead bury
the dead.
Answer The quoted words in the ques-
ton do not evince contempt for the lead.
Their real sense is far removed from such
an idea. Neither does the Bible anywhere
cast contempt on the body. but rather
honors it the temple of the soul. The
holy dead were carried to burial with
much reverence and care (Acts. viii:2).
2Ao Is the weight of New Testament
teaching for or against unconditional inn
mortality.
Answer This writer holds that the New
Testament teaches unconditional fmmor-
tality. butS cannot here canvas the
grounds of that belief. There are many
excellent books on this subject. accessi-
