COMMENTS.

There was a large meeting the
other day in Pittsburg, Pa, on be-
half of the Jewish war sufferers.
Somebody was bold enough to get
up in meeting and tell the rich men
there what poor showing they had
SO far made with their contributions
or no contributions to the fund. The
bold one evidently knew whereof he
was speaking. Then there was
gnashing of teeth.

whole structure of Christianity
the birth of a Savior and divinity.
Nay, some of the customs, practices,
and symbols characteristic of the
seasons celebration antedate Chris
tianity. They are Of pagan origin.
With such symbols the Mortimer
worship their divinities in pagan
antiquity.
On such matters the Jew can
make no compromise. Whatever
is connected with pagan or Chris
tan religious thought he cannot
reconcile with his religious doc
trines. Think of the new practice,
widely advocated, of lighting the
Christ-child on its way. From the
Jewish point of view this is as
pagan a thought as any found in
the mythologies Of Greece and
Rome.
One might say that such symbolic
observances are after all insignifi-
cant and harmless Many of our
Christian neighbors practice them
without giving much thought to the
religious ideas underlying them, or
disbelieving them altogether. But
to the Jew they are not insignificant
and harmless, when he reflects that
the ideas and doctrines associated
with them have caused his ages
long suffering, and in countries that
are still on lower level of culture,
and that allow the church to domi-
nate, his misery is not ended yet.
That makes the Jew all the more
disinclined to compromise with the
religious doctrines and observances
of his neighbors. He has both re-
1igious and historical reasons.
Let us by all means enter into
their rejoicing and their spirit of
good fellowship and benevolence,
let us wish them the merriest
Christmas, but let us not stultify
ourselves or our religion.

Prune During the Dormant
Season

The underlying principle of
citrus grove health is sanitation.
To have proper grove sanitation
it is necessary to keep out dis
eased tissues, dropped fruit, and
all carriers of infection. The u
University of Florida Experiment
Station offers the following sug-
gestions for pruning:
Dead wood, diseased wood and
dropped fruit are the sources of
infection for many of the worst
fungus diseases. The removal of
these from the grove is the best
measure of prevention for many
diseases, and in stem-end rot and
withertip it is a necessary meas
ure. The best time to prune is
during the dormant season, in De-
cember and January. The next
best time is in the summer after
the first flush of growth has thor
oughly hardened in June and
July.
Growers are cautioned that
pruning for withertip when soft
wood is present is apt to result in
injury rather than benefit. Re-
move as many dead twigs and
branches as possible. Prune back
into the live, healthy wood. Make
smooth cuts at the base Of a
branch so that no projecting

stubs will be left. These are very
susceptible to withertip infection
and such stubs will die and neu-
tralize the effect of taking out the
dead wood. The larger cut sur
faces should be painted with
some substance which will keep
out infection and prevent evapor-
alton from the cut surface during
healing. The removal and de-
struction of dropped fruit is nee
essary when stem-end rot is pres
ent.
