a. MINISTER'S MAIL.

Or, Akcd, the pastor ef the church
OF which Mr.. Rockefeller is member,
4 has given to the public an article on
"a Minister'S Mall
n It5appears that when he had been
engaged as a pastor of the fashionable
New York church, a great many poor
people thought he might have some IN
flnence upon the northumberland with
regard to the distribution of private
charity. And so he received letters
from supplicants. Hence "a minister's
mail"
DR. Aked says he has nothing to do
with Mr.. Rockefeller's philanthropies.
Then he tells how the letters came
pouring in; how he declined to open
them: how he consigned them to the
wastebasltet unopened. The very
thought of 1t all is painful 10
him. He says: They make my life a
burden to me- and what was in the
letters and what became OF them. he
says, II neither know nor care,
He must have opened some of tho
letters, for he gives the following as
a sample OF his mail:
"a 'Honored and reverend Sir: 1t is tin-
believahle that you are ablc to leave in
the greatest distress an honest man.

Recommendation OF cur pastor. whom

JEWS FOR MEsopoTAslIA.

We have, in former Issue or the
News mentioned that there is some
talk of establishing large Hebrew
colony in Mesopotamia, as prelim-
mary to a general return to Palestine.
1t is now stated that the president Of
the Turkish chamber of deputies, Ahmed
Ria Bey, has formally invited the
Zionist commissioners to form He
brew state with home rule in Mesopo-
tan1ia. 1t Is added that this offer has
given the Zionist movement new i'm
petus. and that Israel Zangwill. who,
in q measure, has succeeded to tho
leadership laid down by Herzl, has the
project under consideration. It's also
ayerrcd that Mr.. Jacob Schiff. the Jew
5ish banker,fof New y ork. who once de-
clared zionism hostilcy to Americanisna
is co-operating with Mr.. ,zanEwill
lionsm, then, seems about to be re-
allied. The first ideal was the re-
establishment of the Hebrew state IL:
Palestine, and that is, undoubtedly, the
final goal, too, But a Jewish state in
the country between the rivers where
SO much of the history of the nation has
been written, would be an excellent be-
ginning. The valleys of the Euphratos
aud the Tigrs would under modern en-
terprse become one of the wealthiest
sections of the earth There, under
home rule, the people would rapidly
develop and become an Important factor.
In Oriental politics. Prophecy also
seems to Indicate that the road to Pale
stine. in the final restoration, will be
from the east. The sixth angel in the
Revelation pours out his vial upon the
river Euphrates in order that the wa
ter may be dried up and the way pre-
pared for the kings of the east
BY irrigation immense tracts of land
would be made fertile and capable of
supporting a large population. There
is no lack of funds, for the late Baron
de Hirsch left in trust some s45.OOoo 600
for the Zionist cause, and there are rich
Jews the world over who would cheer
fully subscribe for movement which
promises SO much betterment to the
race.

AN UNPOPULAR BILL.

According to the newspaper opinions
collected this week by the Literary Di-
gest the press Of the country has
turned a cold shoulder to the Presi-
dents measure for a tax of two per
cent on the net earnings of corpora
tons
Thus, the Digest quotations show
that the st. Louis, Globe Democrat

Would the Master have treated sup
| rlicants in this cold. cruel way?5 There
were few letter writer's In His day
and His biographers could not leave
us a chapter on His mall. but from
what they tell us of the daily routine
of His work, we are safe in the
conclusion that He would not have
consigned letters from the poor and
needy to the waste basket unopened
We have before us the opening chap
ters of the Gospel of Mark. We read
that the Master entered the city of
Capernaum. And Immediately it was
rumored that He was in e. certain
house. and the house was instantly
filled with people And He taught
them. IL
While He was preaching a poor fell

After this wonderful meeting the
Master went down to the sea side. to
rest a few moments But the multi
studes followed Him. and He held an
other meeting.
In passing BY the customs house He
saw Levi and called him to the apostle
ship, Levi invited the Master home,
but even during the meal hour people
came to see Him. While at Lewis
house He was called upon to defend
Himself against the unjust criticisms
of Pharisees.
Then the disciples of John came and
desired instructions as to why His dis
ciples We're not more ascetic He
taught them the great principle Of

And thus the days of the Master
were spent from morning till night, in
