It may not appear to you as a limpidly clear truth but to me it seems quite clear that we are either bound or free in the matter of our opinions of things A thoroughly sane and righteous Greek first stated this truth. as you well know And in our twentieth century 1t is tre- mendous fact. peculiarly emphasized through the complexity of our social in stitutions. More and more the individual is called upon to be the arbiter of his own destiny; more and more do the theo- ries of life press on each thinking person for acceptance or rejection.

But when all is said. for the man of today the blossom and fruit of Judaism, or the Old Testament, is actually found in the subtle and spiritual abandon of the New. The spiritual law of the Old be- comes the spiritual gospel of the New, and so reaches It's fulflment. Here the very sweetness and human fragrance and joy of Judaism come to the open air of these latter days. and we learn how very far the stern and unbending Puritanism, or the fierce and relentless priestcraft of the past is from doing jus tiee to ancient Irsael. Surely Jesus and His followers were not less sunny or less free than any of their fellows or ante oerents in Judaism. They were exaulting in the discovery of a new universal grace and joy, and though earth could not hold 1t all, their new found conviction of the life beyond this life filled their souls horizon and made the old new. To them the vague aspirations of many ages had become a present and potent experience, and they were glad. The kingdom of past hopes and dreams was now a reality for them, and they sang amid the flames. "Judea capta'' became Jndea renascent, the nation newly born, the little one be- come a thousand. And so the terrific discipline of the centuries brings it's re- suits in a divine beauty growing at the heart of all the race.

 Every visitor to Russia's capital runs out to Tzarskoe selo just 16 miles from the city and situated upon the first railroad built in the empire. While the palace here is superb not much can be said in favor of it's hotels. The fleas are as numerous and as annoying here as in Italy but when you complain about the insects you hear the ubiqui- tous "Nltchevo' Cit is nothing) and are told that you will soon grow to like them so well that you cannot do with out them. It is recorded that the St Petersburg belles of the last century always wore on heir bosoms silver "flea catchers" attached to a ribbon. The traps consisted of tiny tubes open at the top. closed al the bottom and pierced with number of heles. Each tube contained a slender shaft smeared with honey or some other sweet and sticky substance.
 At the top of each washstand Is a tank of water which Is pumped into the basin by means of a foot treadle and the basins possess no shoppers, it being said that running water is cleaner to wash in"

bringing it's God down to the gross nat uralism that defaces and demoralizes Greek culture the Jewish faith recog- nizes God forever lifting man into moral affinity with himself. and dares to say that He is present even amid mans temp ta tions and failures. That faith is for ever identifying the Ideal man therefore with the radical genius of the Divine Spirit that creates him. Some day it will be seen that even. this central conception of Christianity. the Incarnation of God as the Ideal Man. Is omnipresent as an implication of Judaism.
 In the same Way the Vicarious Atone ment is an essentially Old Testament idea. That the good man must bear the iniquities of the sinners is indeed a lesson which mankind must learn everywhere. But when it was t'prehgured' by the slaughter of innocent beasts the meaning was so far hidden that a courageous prophet was driven to deny the whole structure of sacrifice in order to secure life for it's ethical content: He hath shown thee, o man, what is good; to do justly, to love mercy to walk humbly with thy God" Micah contrasts that with all sacrifice. even the slaughter of child for it's fathers sin.

 And the sequel of all this Is the reward hereafter, in heaven, and the establish ing of new regime upon the earth, in which the bond of human unity should be brotherly kindness service. love. In other words the escape from the nation alism and exclusiveness of the old re- ligion into a generous universalism is complete. And with it goes the change from symboical and ceremonial worship to the authority of the Spirit, and rec ognition of the divine, not in a nation, but in the whole race.
 There is plenty of evidence that in stat ing these changes, in teaching His view of the true life, Jesus had the sympathy of large numbers of Jewish people. The common people heard Him gladly" And the great Pharisaic party, in certain notable instances. actually claimed Him as their ally.

OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS-By George Eaves, D. D.

offered the consolations of heaven, while the Deuteronomist offers the riches Of the earth and victory over physical and political foes? Has he considered the fact that Israel had for it's ideal a na- tional unity and power and privilege which 1t never gained except in it's gold en age," the time of David7 Has he real ized that In the time of Herod Judea was already "Judea capta,' nation held in political subjection, and that therefore it's ideals changed from the external to the inward and spiritual good? Or has he perhaps dwelt upon the fact that in that nation there was more than one party, more than one set of men, each cherish ing It's own conception of the divine goal for the nation?
 Have we not the right to assume. in- deed, all through the history of Israel, such a conflict of ideas and Ideals? We actually know of one such sharp divisions: the view of the prophets, which was ethical and spiritual, and the view of the priests. which was formal and cere- monial Within these great sections there were sub-sections, people who me- dated between the two, tlmid souls who feared to break away from the preserip- tions of the priesthood, but yet sympa- thized with the radical puritanlsm and rational mysticism of the prophets.
