WHY SHOULD THE JEWS OBJ
jet TO THE BIBLE IN PUB
Lie SCHOOLS?

At a recent convention Of repre-
sentative Jews of this country,
resolution was adopted strongly con-
demning the reading of the Bible
in our public schools, and we are
at a loss for the reason.
The Bible was written by Jews
the Old Testament dealing solely
with their history and religion, con-
tanning 80 books against q in the
New, and in copy of the Bible we
consulted 967 pages against 2s2
and yet they would stand in the
doors of our schools and deny the
children the privilege of reading q
letter direct from the God who said
of the Jews, my peculiar people"
An explanation of this remarka-
bic conduct is in order, and some
intelligent Jew should be prompt to
give it publicity. From our view
point it is as un-Jewish as it is
unwise.

But that a man before whom the
two paths of literature and politics
lie open, and who might hope for
eminence in either, should choose
politics and quit literature, seems
to me madness. On the other side
are health, leisure, peace of mind,
the search after truth, and all the
enjoyments of friendship and con

almost certain ruin to the constitu-

AS we read these words from the
pen of the gifted Maccaulay, the
life-work of the late Senator Dan
lei has passed in review before us
and as brilliant as it was. and as
useful, all those who know OF his
splendid mental equipment must
admit that he made mistake in not
having chosen the pleasant paths OF
literature rather than the stormy
ways of the politician. He edited
the best law book of the age in
which he lived, and that he could
have written others, not only on the
law. but on subjects purely liter
ary can not be doubted. True that
in the profession of, his choice he
won high honors and did great SER
vice for the people he represented
but even higher honors might have
been won and larger contribution
made to the people among whom ne
lived. and the ways along which he
went would have been unstirred by
storm and unfretted by care
Few men ever climbed as he did

the multitude ever saluting as he
scared. but all this and more would
have been his to enjoy as he pur-
sued the even tenor of his way

erature and went singing among the
flower bedecked fields and vine
clad hills of learning. We remem-
Der with gratitude all he did for
US. and yet on his own account re-
gret that he did not while working
for others enjoy that "otium cum
dignitate" which so richly belonged
to him. We would not underesti-
mate the value of great law max
ers. nor of great orators, but it
will be agreed that the world has
been most enriched by those who
have left on the undying pages of
books the results of their labors and
of their genius.
How much better for Daniel, for
Virginia. for the age to which he
contributed so richly if from the
quiet of his own sanctum he had
dug deep in that mind Of wealth
with which he was so generously
endowed, and minted into imper-
ishable coin thoughts which would
have sparkled, and shone, and slim
ulated through all time. Maccau-
lay was right in saying that the
man who can do nothing but de-
bate should do that one thing, but
Daniel could have done other and
better things.
The genius of such man should
not have had the Senate chamber
as its theatre. The world should
have been his stage and coming
generations his auditors.

lam, who was recently Inconvenience
by an abscess on the right wrist, is now
troubled with an abrasion on the in
side of his right knee. 1t was produced
by horseback riding and caused his
majesty to abandon his purpose of wit

engagement for tomorrow at Hanover,
and he will not witness, as he had
planned, the yacht race at Hamburg

Gently his Majesty has taken long
rides, and the skin. having been rubbed

This afternoon an official bulletin was

healed. The bulletin adds that his
majesty has not experienced n rise

CHURCH MISSIONS
HAVE WON PLACE
IN WORLD SCHEME
Speaker at Edinburgh Confer
ence Says Work Is No Longer
a "F0rlOrn Hope"

EDINBURGH, June 16.-Progress of
Christian missionary work in many
countries from small beginnings to its
present state of wide development was
described today to the International
Missionary Conference in session here
by the commission on The Church In
he Mission Field" The report was
presented by the Rev. DR.. J. Campbell
Gibson, of the foreign mission commit
tee of the English Presbyterian Church,
who Is chairman of the commission.
1t is perhaps one of the most en-
c%ouraging signs says the report, both
OF the progress of mission work itself
and of the advance which has been
made in the thought of the church at
home in regard to I. that The Church
in the Mission Field now occupies so
prominent a position in the discussion
of mission questions n methods. II
Is easy to recall the time when the
work of foreign missions was
ly regarded by Christian people as the
sending of a small, forlorn hope into
the midst of great masses of darkness
and superstition, from which very little
could be looked for in return. The mis-
~sionaries' work was conceived to be b
100 VIII
and at the best the converts gained
were thought of as little groups of un-
important people, whose conversion was
gratifying for the sake Of the individ-
uals gained, but who had no important
share in the missionary enterprise as a
whole.
Now, happily, the church at home
sees further into the true state of the
matter md tha n,o.&
conclusion which we can draw from
the replies made to u inquiries In all
parts of the world is that thenceforth
this view must be entirely abandoned.
We have now to think of the church
In the mission field not as a by-product
OF mission work. but as itself far the
most efficient element In the. Christian
propaganda. The words Of Christian
people, spoken to their own country
men in all lands, are the most efficient.
as we'll as the most extensive, preach
ing of the Gospel, and their lives are
everywhere the most conspicuous and
conclusive evidence Of it's truth.
In many of the greater mission fields
the Christian people are now recos-
nized as a definite community whose
social life and ideals, as we'll as their
personal faith and character are al
ready becoming a powerful element in
the re%shaping of national life. They
are everywhere subjected to a watch,
full scrutiny on the part of the nom
Christian communities, and there seems
to be a general acknowledgment that
the life thus jealously watched affords
a real vindication of the spiritual power
OF the religion which thew profess"
A letter from Theodore Roosevelt ex-
pressing sympathy with the movement
and regret at his inability to he pres
ent was read at today's session. The
communication, which was addressed
to Silas McBee, an American delegate,
aroused much enthusiasm.

10TH WARD REPUBLICANS
ELECT HUGH GILLIGAN.
Long Fight Ended by a Quick
Compromise.

The long-drawn-out fight over the
Craftsmanship of the Sixteenth Ward
Republican Executive Committee was
finally settled last night, when Hugh
F. Gilligan, secretary of the Newark
Paving Company, was elected to the
position by unanimous vote of the
twelve members of the committee.
The fight started last January, when
the committee split on the eelction Of
a chairman. Samuel r. Wilson, the
former incumbent, having six votes
against a like number for Edward E.
Gnichtel.
After a long wrangle. during which
much bitterness was shown by both
the Lentz and Dalrymple factions in
the club, the matter was left to an ar
bitration committee of five members,
headed by First Assistant Prosecutor
Frederick r. Lehlbach.
This committee had a hard time find
ing a man acceptable to both sides.
Frederick Wagner was first named as
a compromise candidate, but he re-
fused the position. The arbitration
committee then selected Mr.. Gilligan,
and last night his election was ratified
unanimously by the full committee. Mr..
Gilligan has been active In ward pol
tics for a number of years. but has
never held any political position. He
has no close connection with either the
Lentz or Dalrymple factions.
