A CHISTIAN'-JirVTISH ENTENTE J
cr-rPy'htfdlV' the San Jose Mercury)
In the liberal and democratic atmosphere in which nearly all
Americans live and move 'and have their being, the, blind,
unreasoning, racial antagoniHma that ha vei nearly - destroyed
Europe do.not tbrive;';Our estimate of men is not based solely
or chiefly upon the accident of their origin. We have come to
value' individuals for their'own, desirable qualities or the lack
of thero-r for what they are and do no matter where they or
their falher' were born. But in matters of religion we have
not altogether risen to this high standard. Many of us are still
divided into blind, hating, warring, religious fanatical factions
Who see no good in and who will have no fellowship of any
kind with those of other factions or faiths.
One of the most sin&eless antagonisms is that between Jews
and Christiana. :lr And Christians have contributed to this age-old
prejudice quite as miicfi aaJews. Their attitude and conduct
toward their brothers of tha Jewish faith have often been any
thing but Christian,.- Ostracism, hatred and persecution, to say
nothing of massacres and "pogroms," are about as far removed
from Christianity as anything could be. Under the Stars and
Stripes much of this antagonism has been dissipated, but there
still, exist much,, religious prejudice, if not hatred, between
these two faiths.;: '.';:, r v ! i ..' -:
Very recently there has gone out from the leaders of Jewish
thought in this country' a strongly expressed desire for an
understanding and some kind of co-operation with the Christian
churches, to. the end that moral and social standards, which are
the same for both. Jews and Christians, may better, be upheld
and their common ideals more completely attained. , Iq pleading
for this," Jewish-Christian Entente' Babbi Edward N. Callisch,
president of the Conference of American Babbis says : "The
throne of DogmaTism,T like many Other thrones, has been toppled
over, and a; spirit of Religious 'democracy is making its way into
the heart of 'mankind.- Creeds and catechisms may be useful
things m their way, but character and conduct are important
There are beautiful ideals common to all religions, and a rcog-.
nit ion of this fact leads to a sympathy and appreciation in whose
presence polemics arid' mere theological hair-splitting are a
lutile waste of- time.yU These twords. have the nghjt ring.
tany Christians,, wbb hope to see ancient creeds and dogmas
overwhelmed bv. the larsrer. truer life and soirit of Christ mani
fested in the life and conduct of His followers, are wondering
how this plea for such entente will be met by-'the .various
Christian churchs. Judging by. the ,New Testament record,
can there be any reasonable donbt how Jesus would, meet it!
Did he not-mingle, even 'with Publicans and sinners vin order
that lie might reach and. save themT And yet this plea of our
Jewish brethren seems, as yet to have aroused but little dis
cussion among Christians., -i , k' , ' 1 '
The Protestant1 churches seem, to be getting together and
t;u-uperaimg more oom at nome ana in tne ioreign missionary
fields - There is even a possibility that, the Roman Catholic and
, Greek-churches may coalesce, and in this countryv there is
of ten ; rTiarmonious co-operation. between the Protestant and
Catlioljfl churches' for the accomplishment of common ends. Why
should not this spirit of co-operation extend to and embrace the
Jewish "religion .from' which all Christianity has sprunsT'
-' Some'maybe moved to oppose this Christian-Jewish Entente
because they , feel that, they ean not-rthat they should japt
have !any relations whatever with a religion that reject the
Savior and is opposed to Christianity ; that they are too intensely
Christian to eo-operate in such a movement. It would" be well
for all such to . enter upon a little course of self-examination
and see if instead of being strongly Christian they are not sflmp
ly anti-Jewish or even anti-Semitic. It would be well for all
such to read their Testaments and try to understand and catch
the spirit of the Master. "Ye have heard that it hath been
said, Thou shait love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy.. But
1 say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despite
fully use you and persecute you; that ye may be the children
of your Father which is in heaven."
Ais one looks over the history of the Christian world and sees
Christian hating and warring against Christian, each so-called
Christian nation an armed fortress against its Christian neigh
bors, he cannot avoid tlie conclusion that whatever religion the
world has had or still has, it has not been, it still i not the
religion of Jesus ; not the Christianity lhat He taught and lived.
Jri'this'twentieth century in one part of the world religious
hatreds are so intense that frequently men who claim to be
Christian Protestants go out to hunt Catholics and murder
them in cold blood, men. women and children. And Catholics
retaliate and take a Protestant life for every Catholic whahas
been killed. Unless one is so blind that he cannot read, so
obtuse that he cannot understand the plainest words, he must
know that anyone who can kill his brother man, nay, more,
who can hate him or desire to wrong him in any way, is about
as far from being a Christian as a beast is from being an angel.
When his persecutors sought to take Him and try and
crucifv Him and one of His followers in the impulse fo serve
his Master seized his sword and cut off the ear of the servant
of the high priest, He said: "Put up again thy sword into its
rdaeei for all thev which take the, sword shall perish with the
7 . .. . TJ.il .
sword. Thinkest tnou nat i cannot now pray to my ramer
and He will, presently, give me more than twelve legions, of
Anirelsf" But he did not ask for these legions. He refused
even to descend to controversialism and answered the questions
of His nersecufors by replying simply: ,,rlhou sayest. m til

His life and work He depended not upon any iorm or iorce,
but upon the power of love and the spiritual, the divine elements
within Him. Those who' manifest Uis spirit are His followers,
are Christians. Paul says that no others are.
How would Jesus answer this plea 'for a Christian-Jewish
Entente! V ' -

An eastern couple are trying
this Adam and Eve business. They
have gone into the Maine woods
naked and penniless and are
pledged to remain In the wilds for
six months. At the end of that
time they are to return to civili
sation clothed, healthy and with
money enough to take them to
their home. They are to -make
their own garments and find their
own. food and shelter without
weapons or implements. They are
not even supposed to have match
es jlq; start a fire. They are to
go back to the primitive and work
their way up to modern living.
This sounds like press-agent stuff,
but is said to be genuine, and the
experiment may prove of interest.
I hold that death should be as
bright
And joyous as our birth !s fair;
No sable trappings of the night.
But sunlight,, sunlight every
where. Away with all the robes of gloom,
Tbe mausoleum and the tomb.
I hold that when this body dies
I do not linger in the shell.
The 1 imprisoned breaks afid
file
To other planes to work and
dwell.
The garment that I cast off then
I shall -sot care to wear again.
I do. not want a funeral 'train,
My woro-ul clothing placed on
-view
My virtues told in solemn strain
By one who cannot know they're
true.
These1 ceremonies but display
The vanity which reigns today.
Let my remains be purged with
fire
And scattered on some grassy
slope;
The atoms which I called up high
er I wish" returned impressed with
hope -That
through the unknown aeons
of night
They still are struggling to the
light
Let py. one, drop a. bitter tear, 1
That have' passed the mystic
door;
Tbe way is marked and naught to
fear, .- '
And I have, trod the path be
fore. And though I know not where or
when, j
1 shall return to school again.

the SHORT STORY, JR.
The Anto Fixer s ? ,
, Charlie was always boasting
about "our car."; Sometimes be
even called it "my car." though
as a matter of fact, his father had
given hyn strict' orders n o(. to
touch the automobile, and on no
account, .would : he. listen when
Charlie begged to be allowed to
drive It. .
. He was fond of saying "careless
ly that he guesed he'd .go home
and tinker- around ithe ar"a
while." , And j he talked 1 wisely
about Ignition and carburetors. He
made remarks 'about ' helping ' sis
father look-around for a new
bus f or' tpfifis."
Especially, was Charlie fond, of
making such- remarks when the
Thornton girls were around. They
lived on the next street and often
came home from school with
Charlie. He promised grandly to
take them for rides . some time
when his father wasn't using the
car and it was. in good shape. The
Thornton girls wondered a little
why such a time never came.
One afternoon Charlie wan

motor car. He ran against Charlie
as he came up.

bly, "I'll teach you not to get so
fresh." He started after - his
brother, who pedaled as fast as he
could. He went so fast that he
swerved suddenly, and. over.went
the car. Charlie picked the young
ster up. He was only shaken np
but one of the pedals of his car
was twisted and paint was knock
ed off. :
"Never mind." said Charlie,
grandly, "I'll fix the pedal in a
jiffy, like a regular auto mechan
