Echoing the sentiment that God is
no respecter of persons, and putting
it in broad terms of race and OF ma
ton, the writer CT the Acts Of the
Apostles declares that God hath
made of one blood all the nations of
the earth to dwell together in unity"
God is the father of all. He is the
God of the Jew and If the Gentle.
If there should arise any question of
priority or of privilege, 1t might be
settled by reference to the words of
the Apostle Paul IN the third chapter
Of the Epistle to the Romans. what
advantage, then, lath the Jew? or of
what profit is there of circumcision?
Much every way; chiefly because
that unto them We're committed the
oracles of God. FoI what, If some did
not believe? Shall their unbelief
make the faith Of God without eff
fect?" He continues the argument.
What then? are we better than
they? No, in no wise; for we have
before proved both Jews and Gem
tiles that they are both under sin"
One might hear at this point the
mighty undcr,One of the exhorta-
ton of the propnet Isaiah: Come,
let us reason together, saith the
Lord, though your sins be as scarlet
they shall be as white as snow, and
though they be rod like crimson they
shall be as wool" The preacher of
Moses and the preacher of Christ are
both eyangels Of the gospel of the
goodness of God FOR the salvation of
men from sin and sordidness. from
selfishness and the sorrows that fol-
low upon evil dong. "All have sinned
and come short of he glory Of God"
In view of the humanity and the
Catholicity Of the New Testament
teachers, how strange, indeed 1t is
to find at this late day the preaching
of the gospel of cate toward the Jew
by his Gentle neighbor? In view of
the fact that Jesus was Jew. and
multitudes of those who do not ac-
cept the theological definitions Of
His divinity are attracted by His
teachings and the wonder of His
mission. how strange 1t Is to find the
spirit of persecution where He en-
Joined love. When the disciples came
to Jesus and reported that they had
found some casting out devils in His
name and they had forbade them so
to do, He made reply: "Forbid them
not. for they that ere not against us
are for u.s." The ame spirit of
tolerance toward all who named His
name is the spirit that Jesus ever
manifested toward all Of every race
and religion. There Is no basis in
the teachings of Jesus for aught
save the tenets of love and Of broth
orly kindness.

The Christian and the JeaU

Christianity IS tho religion OF

its name have baen the fruits of tha
lusts and passions OF men and In no
sense reflections Of the teachings or
counsels OF Christ Jesus and his
disciples. Yet tho divisions and the
schisms have bean perpetuated and
made bitter through failure of tho
Christian churches and their leaders
at all times TO manifest the love OF
Jesus. Knowing the fate shortly TO
befall him in Jerusalem, lie wept for

peculiar and mortifying. as well.
that in the present year Of grace
there should be found In the United
States, the homo of religious free
dom, a campaign of hatred toward
the Jews, founded upon medieval
forgeries and fiCtious, disseminated
by fanatical enterprise. 1t is pecu-
liarly mortifying that here in Balti-
more Jewish rabhis should need to
deplore the prevalence of the spirit
of ostracism and of prejudice, Yet

when enlightenment and the spirit of
charity and forhearance will have
exerted its potent effects to bring
even this to pass. In the meantime
let those who hold to the Christian
faith in sincerity beware lest they he
swept away by the rising tide of the
power of the evil one; for. as surely
as human history is a recorder OF
great spiritual srrges and suhsi-
dences is there some occult power at
work in human society today that
challenges good at every point, and
seeks to destroy the counsels of
righteousness.
They were first called Christians at
Antioch. and it vas later remarked.
"Iow these Christians love one an

has forcefully, declared: THE Jew
may suffer wounds in his body, but
the very soul Of Christendom is at
stake in the antisemitism that is
seeking to find place in American
society. The enemy of the right
ways Of the Lord, the aggregation of
subtle forces Of evil is at work to
destroy the fraternity Of all those
who, under different names. pay
tribute to the Lord God exalted over
all. These find t;,eir communion in
the thought that God is love.

TOO MUCH GREENWICH VILLAGE"

In New York just now little tempest IS
said to be brewing in each and every separate
teapot in "the Village" by which title one
is supposed TO designate that highly favored
portion of Gotham where the artistic foregather

derstand about things concerning which they
know little and on which their opinions are Of
no account to themselves or 70 anyone else
From the police report for the year lel9 just
published. this paragraph is taken:
A Chinese funeral or Hopi Indian snake
dance would be far more interesting or en-
tertaining. but a certain foolish and degraded
appetite for the unusual or sensational,
promoted by sightseeing grafters and other
parasites, kept these places alive and proved
that Barnun1 was right regarding the mental
capacity of some people.
And here lies the secret of Bohemia" 1t is
a false light and its gleam is deceptive 1t
glows softly over waters that are dark, and hides
the norass into which sink the weaklings who
are attracted by its rays. Sensation craving,
morbid-minded curiosity seekers, visit Green
wieh Village, just as they haunt the norgue or
hang around court where salacious trial is in
progress. Seldom, however, do any OF these
venture far. They hover just on the edge. 1t
is the ardent who are caught, the ones in
whose veins the blood runs hot, whose souls
are aAame with desire for the wine of life. and
who drink the cup to its dregs and find bitter
ness in the ices. -,
1t is not enough to tell Us Of the strong
who have come through this FIRE with only
faint scent of burnt wool on their garments.
Greenwich Village has done more harm to the
cause Of true art than all its greatest triumphs
ever can repair. Its malignant influence has
spread into every hamlet in the country, through
the magazines. the movies and other agencies
for the dissemination Of its cult. This is not
the true art that did and does flourish there;
it is the pseudo variety, that bears no more re-
semblance to painting, poetry, music or drama
than did the red ink" formerly dispensed with
the cheap food hold to the vintage that enlisted
and warranted the songs Of Horace or others
who have hymned in praise Of the purple cup.
Greenwich Village is victim Of itself,
sufferer from its own freedom" and will fail,
just as all similar groups have failed. because
the decadent, the unworthy and the unripe or
over-ripe displace the good and defeat the ef-
fort that might have wrought out something
worth while. And American civilization is suf-
fering greatly from an overdose Of the mias-
matte exhalation OF this plague spot and those
set up in imitation thereof. Art will be the
gamer when 1t can be divorced from the ele-
ments that have stiaed the original impulse Of
the "Village."

And brought upon all mankind, death.
