WHY NOT? fr'Anvriwhtpil 1v the San Jose Merctirv. Under this caption Dr. Lyman Abbott, hv a recent issue - of The Outlook says: "I know a Christian church, which was . built some years ago in a community into which many Jewish t - families have since moved, and fronj which some: Christian ' fairuliea Wre moved away. There are neither Jews enough 1 vto give adequate support 16 a Jewish synagogue nor Christians t ''enough to; giv adequate support to' a Christian church. So I-. ;1n? two organizations use the one building; the Jews jc.eupy "jt as a .synaoOTie on Friday and Saturday;- the Christians it as a Christian church tne rest or tne ween. occupv Why - .The persecution of the Jews for centuries by the Christians ' o! Europe is onf ot the most inexplicable -'things in all history: JeVus tand all' of 'His disciples and apostles were Jevrs. But because some Jews, according' to the New Testament, partici pated in the. crucifixion of Jesus, what a monstrus injustice to hold the 'descendants of all the, Jews of that day personally . lespons'd.le for this great crime and for that reason persecute and, even massacre them indiscriminately, as has often been done even in this twentieth century! How monstrous it would be to hold the unborti descendants for two thousand years of i criminal of" this day sruiltyf of his crime, and hate, persecute and kill th"em for it! Biit the 'case is even worse than this, as this hatred has not been confined ta the descendants of those wiio participated directly' in the crucifixion? but has often em- ,.. uraeeu aiiiews..

It is no different m kind frorri that "which caused, even t m comparatively modern times, the cruel, and uVireleting pe U iut ion- bf 2 Protectant,-.Catholics, ' Baptists And; Quakers ; by other Christians; which has stained many a page of the history 'o.of the world with stories of burning, at the1 stake, massacres and, other forms of mart yrdom for,' opinion's sake. Bigotry and religious hatred are not only a disgrace to any religion, but . " a disgrace to huip'anity: Nothing could be more foreign to the i ipirit of 'Chrisf. ". . .. ' ' V' . Nearly-all religions have much in eommon. " All .Chris ' tian s'ectibr denominations, of course, agree about most things. "Why not emphasize the things they do hold in common, instead -of ignoring them and. emphasizing the few things about which 1 they differ! Friendship, family life, even organized society itself would be impossible if this method were not followed. . - It is true that the Jews reject the New -Testament, but Jew and Christian alike acknowledge the authority of the Old Testa- ment. Why not make the most of this point of contact, thus . finding a common basis upon which' both. Jew and Christian may stand! ; Why not understand, as the fact undeniably is,; that; the things about which the various sects differ are, as a general ' jrule, points' of doctrine, those questions of theology about which men have long jdispl6ted .and reasoned," and ;about .which 'of Ais in our comparatively ignorant" and undeveloped instate should be too cocksure, no matter how learned we think ; Vwe are!. WTiy ndt forget these theological dogmas and reraera- f ber that all Christians are to recognize : the "one .Go'd'and J t - Father of all" and are to hare "one Lord, one faith and one baptism"? 'Why, not make an effort to get together instead " f constantly trying to pull apart! Who does not know that ,' 'one of the great obstacles to spreading the. gospel of Christ in the world. is sectarianism' among Christians?"! i " Whj"not take more to heart, than most professing Chris- tians heretofore have done the great lesson in toleration and charity given to Peter, recorded in the tenth chapter of Acts? ; , Coming straight from the wonderful vision there 'described, he uttered these inspired words which should be burned into te memory of every- professed follower iof Christ: ' "Of a 1 truth I perceive that (Jod is no respecter of persons, but in ' every nation he that fearcth Him and worketh righteousness is accepted with Him.1" ' '.' If the New Testament record is to be believed, the Chris- ' tian religion is ah outgrowth of the Jewish faith. Christianity was first accepted by Jews: not only Jesus, but all the dis- Ask Your Wife Tonight how she would handle your Estate if she were suddenly left alone.

If Christianity is ever to spread itself over th world and become the universal religion, those who profess and preach it must feel and nianfist toward those .f other faiths or of no faith a kindness,' toleration and love which will touch and appeal to' them more than any words. Men are not to be made converts. to the gospel of love, "peace 011 earth and good will to men" by. force, abuse, persecution, injustice 'or p'hys'u-al violence. Christians should constantly have in mind that "love is the fulfilling of the law," as well as the very soul, of the religion of Jesus. Those who do not feel ami manifest thi unselfish love for, all the children of the father are 110 Chris tians at all, but .only ajostates, no matter what they profess. Ami when the members of any sect or denomination are actually manifesting the spirit, power and works of the Master ami are in possession of all the fruits of the spirit enumerated by Paul, it will be time enough for them to set up for 1hem selves a claim, of exclusive possession of 'religious truth. I'ntil then, why not remember -and observe the command to "Prove all things ami hold fast that which is good?

Mr. Strong calls Noblesse Oblige the American's icreed for pa land me.' TW following W "a samiplo of the articles, printed in the Times one day last week;- What founded tne U. S. xV.? What founded Mexico? The answer explains the differ ence between these two countries after four centuries of history. The fathers of the 17. S. A. left the old world that they might have "libeity to worship God af- ! ter the dictates of their own con. sciences." . , And they built the U. S. A. on the foundation of those conscien ces, until they vindicated and tablished the rights of man. We need as virile consciences to keep those rights. The Spaniards left the old world in the search for gold adventure for wealth. They con quered Mexico - with "sword ,ar.r rapine: they imposed their tiod on the Mexicans by subjugation and treachery, conscienceless and brutal. Here's an object lesson on what survives: a lesson for those who say idealism has no place in prac tical affairs. Noblesse Oblige was made tb universal spirit tor the V. S. A. The power or the sword was made the criterion for Mexico. Each principle fctlll survive in each country. .. Which wins? Which lives? .7-Mc-fse Oblire or ruthlessness? FUTURE DATES.
