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.

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-

an expression of " blind, unreasoning, narrow, disgustihgy un--"
civilized, unchristian religious prejudice which Is wholly, nde
sible. 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-

1herefM-e, owe n debt 1 the Jews, which, instead wfdiatred,
Svhonhl inspire a very lively sense of obligation.",' t'uder the
(,-ircu instances it seems fair to .presume. Hull had thej'ws who
ivent to the various Kuropcau rotintries bei-n received with
ordinary kindness and consideration iusteail .f bj-inir. treated
as outcasts, practically all of them would I011.1; ago have em
braced Christianity.
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? At least, what
excuse or justification have they for severity or intolerance
toward thqse of other faiths?

along lines that will not sacrifice
any American principle nor do

against any League. And he had
no views to foist upon anybody

The Boy Scout movement is
acknowledged everywhere to be
one of the best means of promot
ing good citizenship. If people
in general knew more about the
Scout program, generous support
for .thi3 great work with boys
would be universal. Tonight the
people of Salem will be given
an opportunity to hear expert
testimony , on the worth of the
work of the Boy Scouts or Salem.

night at 7:30 Walter Denton, T.

paign or a year to be carried, on
by the;Los 'Angeles Times,undf
the direction or John Strong
with an article each day." 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. ..
