vINDICATEs HIS LIBERTY.

The liberty which the Jew has
vinjicated FOR himself he has begun
20 enjoy. in outward form, within
the past 100 years. The development
Of civilization has brought about. IN
advanced and enlightened countries,
a separation OF church and state. The
American and the French Revolutions
OF the closing quarter OF the eight
teenth century have taught the les
sons OF certain inalienable human
rights. Of life. liberty, legal equality
and the pursuit OF happiness. But.
sentiment Is slower than the mind to
change. The doctrines that have been
so persistently taught for l 500 years
do not disappear IN a single century.
especially when they are still taught
in practical effect, though In some
what modified manner. The medieval
Christian who was taught to hate
the Jew because he killed the Saviour
and who therefore tortured and per
secuted him, is removed more in
action than In spirit from the modern
Christian, who is prejudiced against
the Jew for the same reason, and
who. while he does no longer torture
or XIII the body, yet infiicts an equal
torture 10 the heart and spirit OF the
Jew by his unreasoning antipathy,
his open and his covert sneers, his
unjust treatment and his cruel indig-
mites.
We might well ask, How long. o
Lord, how long must this endure?
VIII there ever be an end? Must Jews
and Christians always continue with
a barrier between them? Is there no
cure? To my mind there is a cure,
and it must come through both the
Christian and the Jew.

CURE FOR THE EVIL.

and goi~g to the very root Of
the matter, the cure can come most
quickly If the church would cease
70 teach that which is theologically
weak and historically untrue, viz.
that the Jews crucihed Jesus. Many
a Christian pulpit and Sunday school
rostrum persists in sowing the seeds
Of hatred in childish hearts and
minds by teaching them to regard
the Jews as bloodthirsty decides.
The rift In the childish mind becomes
the yawning chasm OF separation in
maturity. The church can well ask
itself the question, Have I been
wronging the Jews all my lifey'' I
would TO heaven the leaders OF the
church would PROFOUND this query TO
themselves
The Jews themselves can help TO
cure the evil in but one way. the way

at times We are indignant at the
treatment accorded US, though we

4 Can 20 the Raptlsts.

To the Negro Baptists OF America,
Dear Brethren:
Your attention is called by this
brief letter TO the appeal sent out
by our Foreign Mission Board, for
a collection from our churches and
Sunday schools on the fourth Sun
day in this month (March). which
IL the day called Easter. We are
aware OF the fact that many Bap-
lists are opposed to doing anything
called Easter, and IL is not the pur-
pose Of this letter to In any way urge
an observance OF that day as is COM
mon with some people. but rather
10 magnify the importance of sup
porting our missionary work. Never
in the history OF Foreign Missions as
carried on by the Negro Baptists,
have the needs been more urgent
than now. and we hope that no kind
of an excuse will be allowed TO enter
our minds to prevent US from doing
our full duty 10 this cause on the
day mentioned. The heart rending ap-
peals which come from our mission
aries ought be sufficient TO awaken
an interest in every loyal Baptist
throughout the land, and we earnest
ly hope that all have been touched
with these appeals to the end, that
every one OF our churches and Sun
day schools will send a contri-
button to our Board at Louisville on
or by March 2Sth.
Permit me to ask that should your
local arrangements prevent you
from giving the entire day to Foreign
Missions to at least give a part of
the collections on that day to our
Board so that there may be unani-
nifty OF effort In relieving the strain
ed condition OF our Foreign Mission
work.
Very truly yours,
Il. G. MORRIS.

STORY OF THE PLAY.

BY reason OF spendthrift WAYS his
estates had become impoverished and
mortgaged. II happens that these
mortgages are held by his neighbor.
Sir Isaac jacobson, a Jew. Obsessed
by his pride Of place and race. Sir
John hates this neighbor because he
is Jew. The fact that he and his
family are indebted TO this Jewish
neighbor for many kind nesses and
cOurtesies. for the. education of his
son, even for the very roof over his
head. does not lessen his rage. The
further fact that Sir Isaac jacobson
Is the nobler gentleman of the two
a man not only Of brains and ability.
but of inestimable beauty OF char.
acter and OF loftiest sentiment. only
adds fuel to the flame OF his hate
The children of the two neighbors
growing up together. fall in love with
each other, and this fact further in
tensites the situation. Finally. Sir
John CotswOld is brought TO realize
how beneficent and beautiful Is the
conduct OF his Jewish neighbor, and
with II comes the thought that per
maps ne has not been justified In
his prejudice. The moment he begins

Is listened 70. The play closes with
Sir John, chastened and softened. go.
ing with friendly purpose to the
house next door.
This is not the occasion to offer
any criticism of the play from a lit
erary point Of view. Suffice to say
that ii is a remarkable production.

intended to stress the situations and
the lesson. IL is artistically true 20
hfe- Doubtless there are one or two
things which, from a Jewish point
OF view, we would rather have had
other wise. But even these things that
grated on sensitive Jewish souls were
fair and honest pictures. II no other
value may be attached TO them they
served to strengthen the more ac-
ceptable portions. that were distinct

Pridc,

/; Some people are very much afraid
of pride, confounding it with AFRO
gance. Pride differs from arrogance
in that it is based upon the genuine,
not the false.
One sort of pride makes man hold
up his head and feel himself a man.
It will not allow him to do mean ac-
tion, or associate with bad company.
It leads him to earn his own living
and to pay his debts; to cheat no man
out Of. so much as penny. This
pride will lead him to be honorable In
business; to make his word as good as
his bond; to scorn deception.
The right pride leads man to do

A wrong prize puffs man up with
: sense of his own Importance. He
i,eels himself superior to others and
endcavors to impress them with that
superiority. He makes himself dis
agreeable when he imagines there is
not sufficient attention paid to him.
He is so great in his own estimation
that every one else appears small to
him. He fails to give them their just
due. He thinks more of the regard
others owe him than of that he owes
to others. He is the mouse who

For such pride the world has nc

is far, far greater than the supply

They are Small in Proportion e

The melancholy death under: an an
aesthetic Of Hon. T. A. Powys, the
young heir. and only son of Lord lii.
ford, in the course OF an, operation
not generally associated with any
idea of danger; Is an event which will!
direct public attention to the dangers
attendant upon the use OF. aaaesthetlcs
in general and upon the precautions
necessary in order to rednce these
dangers to a minimum. From the re.
port, OF lne inquest upon Mr.. Powys, II
appears that he was suffering fro1
the enlargements at the back of the
throat which are commonly known as
adenoid enlargements, which are not
attended by an Immediate danger tc

employe dto conduct the administers
ton and he began his proceedings by
a complete examination Of the patient
in whose condition be discovered
nothing to call for more than ordinary
caution. The anaesthetic used was a
mixture of chloroform with ether, and
it was not until the operation was
nearly completed that sudeen failing
Of respiration gave warning of I'M
minent danger. A post-mortem exam
/ ination disclosed the existence OF a
condition called status lymphatic'c =
which appears not to be dlscoverable
during life and which involves special
danger in the use of anaesthetics.
The occasional occurrence Of fatal
consequences from the administration
Of chloroform or Of ether, however,
much to be deplored in the individual
instances, should not be permitted to
divert attention from the enormous
number of cases in which they save
life by permitting the performance; OF
operations which it would be impos'
sible to accomplish without their aid.
It may be safely said that, in round
numbers, there are 5000 successful
administrations of anaesthetics for
every death attributable to thera; and
it is only the immense number OF
operations which they have rendered
possible and successful explains the
comparatively small number of fatal
accidents which have occurred in a
given hospital or in a given time
Notwithstanding the vast prepondler'
ance of safety, it is impossible to deny
the existence of certain, OF rather
