One of the most notable Of the rex

this winter of the principal museums

Zuloaga and Sorrolla are almost in
variably mentioned together. oeing the
leading painters of Spain today But
they are as different as possible. Zulo-

Sorolla's Is more joyous and brilliant.
When Sorollas paintings were shown in
this country for the first time they
fairly swept the public off its feet, the
people being carried away with en-
thusiasm. Just what effect an exhibf-
tion of Zuloaga's paintings will have
it is difficult to conjecture.
Great progress has been made in the
arts and crafts in the past few years.
Not only is the quality of the work
which is being done much better, but
the quantity of good work has in
creased and appreciation is to be
.ound in larger measure. A large por-
ton of the Art Institute Of Chicago is
at present given over to a comprehen-
sive exhibition of the arts and crafts,
an exhibition which is set forth with
as much care and dignity as any ex-
hibition of paintings or sculpture.

We take pleasure in letting our
readers know what Minneapolis has
so far done for the war sufferers re-
lief. From the first of January till
August of this year the different
committees have collected about $17,-
COO.O0. The Council of Jewish Wo-
men has up to date raised among it's
members about $5500o. The synagog
collections during these fall holidays
will probably total about $4,000.
So that altogether Minneapolis has SO
far contributed about $2O,OO0O0 this
year.
The total amount Minneapolis has
raised for the relief of the Jewish
war sufferers since the war broke out,
l. G., the fall of 1914, is over $780,
10000. Not SO bad for community
that has no millionaires, what?

sing "Zemeres" on Sunday evening,
etc. Think Of an observing Jew who
does all that, who is faithful to Jew
ish tradition, wishing to embrace
Xianity! Rev. Levy probably mag
ines that there are many Jews nova
Gays of his own mental type. Some
body ought to assure him that there
are none outside of insane asylums.
We once came across that kind of a
Jew in Minneapolis He was honest
enough, but stark mad. He was that
same night taken to a sanatorium.
The truth Of the matter is that Rev.
Levy really does not know the Chris
tianity Of his own church, in spite of
his zeal for it. The Christianity of
his own church is based on Paulinian
theology, and the essence of Paulinian
theology is the abolition of the Law.
1t has been superseded by Jesus. Let
him study the Epistles of Paul, and
especially the one to the Galatians,
and he will soon find how irreconcil-
able his beautiful scheme is with the
essence of his creed. That a man
like Bishop futile should also be
taken in" only shows that the prose-
1ytizing zeal of Christian ecclesiastics
seriously interferes with their reason
ing powers.
Let the Episcopal Church accept
the Rev. Levy's proposal, for all we
care. We are quite certain that they
will not gain one single Jew as a re-
suit. If he could persuade his church
to offer Jews a cure for something,
for headache, stomach-ache, nervous
ness,-that would be different But to
give them permission to practice their
religious ceremonies the syna
cog is still doing that.
