No Safety In Secluslon.

A good old lady In town not far
from here piously thanked Providence
each day Of her life that she was not
exposed to the perils that missionaries

was taking her placid morning walk
one day a branch broke from an elm
tree and fell upon her, injurlng her so
badly that her death resulted not long
afterward. Yet none could have lived
a more sheltered and secluded life

bors. On the contrary, it is the neces-
sary Christian self preservation and
self-help; it is the anxiety for our
holy treasures, etc."
Another speaker at Christian
election meeting told of the greatness
OF the former Vienna Burgomeister,
DR.. Lueger, the founder and leader of
the anti-Semitic party in Austria.
This seer never bothered about the
theroies Of Jew batter, whether his
hate was based on political, economic
or religious conceptions. So long as
the man was practical in his anti
Semitism, DR.. Lueger took him to his
heart. Then the speaker reached the
very core Of his argument: II not
merely Vienna but the civilized world
would have been organized according
to the plans of DR.. Lueger and his
anti-Semitic ideas, it would never
have come to the world war; obviously
the breakdown would have been avoid
ed, and there never could have come
into power those forces which now
wish to destroy what the great DR..
Lueger created.
The purpose Of speeches Of this
sort is quite evident. These are the
calls Of the "black ravens" which are
usually heard before the hurricane.
Let the populace realize who caused
the war, who it is that lives upon the
blood and vitality of the nation, and
it will know upon whom to wreak its
vengeance and spend its anger at the
first opportune moment"

gall against the eternally guilty Jew
