the spirit of sacrifice, how much long

how much greater intensity did that
spirit glow in the souls of the Jews,
whose whole history is a record Of
martyrdom, of suffering, and of sacri-

all the races and nations of mankind
which quarter the arms of liberty on
the shields of their honor, none has a
better title to that decoration than
the Jews
The spirit of Judaism became the
mother spirit of Puritanism in old
England, and the history of Israel and
its democratic model under the
judges inspired and guided the Pill
grims and Puritans in their wander
ing hither and in laying the founda-
tions OF their commOnwealths in New
England. The piety and learning of
the Jews bridged the chasm of the
middle ages, and the torch they bore
amidst trials and sufferings lit the
pathway from the ancient to the mod
ern world.
The historical power of the prop
hets of Israel says James Darmes-
tater, is exhausted neither by Juda-
ism nor by Christianity, and they hold
a reserve force for the benefit of the
coming century. The twentieth cen
tury is better prepared than the nine
teen preceding it to understand
them" While Zionism is child of
despair in countries where the vic
Tins of oppression are still counted
by millions, the republicanism of the
United States is the nearest approach
to the ideals of the prophets of Israel
that has ever been incorporated in
he form of a state. The founders of
our government converted the dreams
of philosophers into political sys.

American liberty demands or no

described in detail, telling how huge
diamonds were set in the gold din

them to Carter for keepsakes. Then
Carter remarked on the jolly times

Annual Meeting

The second annual meeting of
the Minnesota Steel & Iron COM
pany was held in Duluth. Ninety
per cent of the stock was represent
ed either in person or by proxy. T.
J. Walsh was reelected president
and A. A. Melges secretary.
The company has more than
$50, 900 in the treasury, together
with more than 10000 shares of
unissued stock. President Walsh,
in his report to the stockholders,
announced that $4,000, 900 tons of
iron ore that will run better than
40 per cent metallic iron has been
shown up, and that sufficient high
grade ore has been located in the
property to warrant the sinking of
a shaft. But it is the policy of the
company at this time to install one
of the Jones step furnaces to treat
the large amount of low grade ore
that lies on and near the surface.
President Walsh says that if it is
established that the Jones step
furnace does all that it is expected
of it, the company will Immediately
install one of them at the Mime
sofa, and the company expects to
know between now and Jan. 1. If
the furnace is not installed, a shaft
will be sunk at once.
Diamond drill operations have
been in progress on the Minnesota
