his new faith. 1t was loving Christ
more than father, mother, brothers and
sisters, and mammon, to be disciple OF
Christ. The Gentle Christian should con-
tain full sympathy for Jew that turns
from hating his Redeemer to loving and
telling that a congregation of Gen
tan man delivered was one of the most
telling that that a congregation of Gen
tiles could hope for from the best and
most consecrated of their own brethren.
He spoke pointedly on the lack. and real
need of prayer and proper influence to-
day among so-callcd Christian people.
And this writer confesses to a feeling of
shame that a Jew--one of a class that
crucihedt the Lore, and who would have none
of Him now in their religious services
and worships--should now come upon
the boards and tell us that we ourselves
are neglecting this same Christ in our
lives and services, and admonishing us
Gentiles that we should act consistently
with our profession we individually pub
lcIy made before the world that we take
Him for our Savior and Master; to obey
Him, while we had no part in His cruel
crucihxion While Mr.. Enrich did not
say it in so many words, lie could have
appropriately said that we Genties are
NOW crucihying our Lord afresh our
ourselves, and while we are thus putting
the Lord to open shame we have no Justi-
fcation in throwing up the crucihxion of
Christ to Pilote nor to the Jews at large
alone The fact is we Gentiles are deb
tcr's to the Jews for giving us one of
fbofr fO
eternal burning in hell, and yet in spite
of the pleadings of that same Savior for
US to make some sacrifice in His behalf
for the salvation of others among US, we
say plainly and Enthusiastically by our lives
that we don't want religion to interfere
with our worldly business.
AS closing part of the night services
at the Methodist church the pious element of
the congregation was edifyingly RECALLED
with one of the sweetest of songs by one
of Mrs Eckhardt's quartettes. The name
of the song was "My Mothers Bible"
touching theme. The attractive singers
were Miss Matte Hale, soprano; Miss
Charlie Purcell, youngest sister of the
pastor, alto; Walter Dear, tenor; Wallace
Williams, bass A tender thrill to the
tcning audience during the rendering of
this sweet music of the young God-given
voices so we'll cultivated and trained by
Mrs Eckhardt The soprano and the alto
took old youth off his feet, and he thought
he had not heard such a combination of
sweetness in years. The good people
feel grateful to Mrs. Eckhardt and her
excellent pupils for such delightful treats.
On last Tuesday night, Mr.. Ehrlich,
the Jew preacher, gave lecture in the
Baptist church He was greeted by
very large audience. His talk was in the
main, his life's history. He explained
the family government in a Jewish home.
His own home was most rigidly and care
fully ruled by his father. Every child
in the family was taught to yield ready
and implicit obedience to the parent. The
contrast between the government in Jew
ish home ard that Of Gentle was very
striking-strictncS in the one and loose
ness in the other. And no Gentle can
deny that the rising generation of young
sters are not being trained by their parents
as they ought to be, as the Scriptures we
profess to believe, demand Of US. This
Christian Jew is to preach Wednesday
night here at the Baptist church. He is
whole souled consecrated preacher of the
Gospel, and he is splendid preacher too.
The free will offerings he receives and
the proceeds of the books he sells, all 90,
he declares, to the education of fine Jew
ish bows From what we can learn, his
earnest preaching so far, has been the
means cf the conversion of many souls
