1t is lack Of Biblical interest
that makes the Jew material, in

lack of the study of the Bible
that makes the Jew unapprecia-

of the study of the Bible that
makes Jews un-Jewish; and it is
the lack of proper care and in

a little more Bible-study; a little
more attention to the great and

better Jews, more spiritual Jews,
more Jewish Jews, and a finer
type of Jews; and given all of
these, we will have a better ano

that as a man who had read

to know something of that which

Monitor, an account of the fact
that the Bible was the most

hundred languages and dialects.
and had been circulated by the
millions of copies.
Everybody knows that with
the exception of certain books of
the New Testament, the Bible
was written in Hebrew. 1t was,
especially the Old Testament,
the book of Jews. In the other
days every Jew knew the content
of the Bible because he studied
it in the original until he had
reached the later years of his
youth or early manhood. To
have refrained from studying
the Jewish literature was as
much of a disgrace to a Jew of

read and write, to a man of mod

in Babylonia, which existed $500 B. c.
These were typographical plans used
for purposes Of taxation. The first
map of the world is credited to An

but the real founder Of map-making
and the study Of geography was Aris-
