Joy of Being Yourself riie Itewnnl Is Xot Only n rinM fait Ion to Yourself, but to Others By ELLA WIIKELER WILCOX. (Copyright, 1915. Star Company.) BROOKLYN. N. T. "Every Saturday night at our corner mission workers stand and preach the gospel and are for ever running down the wicked Jews and Inciting race ha tred. Cannot Chris tianity be ' taught without Implanting hatred for those not of the same oreed T Tour church look so dignified and good, but when Jewish people pass a church it Is like a dagger in their heart with the thought that here is where the seed of antl - Semltism Is planted. Here la where the Gen tiles get fresh courage every Sunday to hate us. "A Christian family near us had (lost two children, and the third and only one they had left lay very sick and the mother had glveh her up for dead. I went over to see her and tried to com fort the poor woman, but I was afraid the little child was beyond aid. Still you know the ssylng, 'Where there's life there' hope,' so I went to an elderly re tired doctor I knew and pleaded with htm to go and look at the little girl and see what he could do for her. "I persuaded him to go over, and he prescribed an old-fashioned remedy that saved that child's life. While she was convalescing, I sent her over some little toys, and I was indeed glad when 1 saw the child on the street. "Now the outcome of this is that the child's father never as much as notices me on the street, and her aunt, who lived in the same house with them until recently, also never speaks to me. Just because I am a Jewess. I would1 not bur den you with my troubles, but It Is hurt ing me so that I can hardly bear It. "My children are forever coming home crying and complaining that the Chris tian children are always after them and calling them Jews, Sheeny, etc., which makes my heart bleed, as I nlways tench my children to do unto others as they want to be done by. "I ask you on behalf of humanity and In the name of our Heavenly Feather to enlighten Christianity, as to our virtues, as well as our faults. Ask them to treat us as human beings, not hate us just because we are Jews. "I -am sure they misunderstand Christ's teachings when, Instead of spreading 'peace on earth, good win towards men,' they incite their people to hate us before they know us or see if we have human hearts and thoughts Just like them selves. "A JEWESS." This pathetlo letter laJ a human docu ment In itself. It scarcely needs a word added by another to impress upon the mind of every right-thinking human being the shame and disgrace which our Chrls tlon churches and our Christian schools, whether Protestant or Catholic, are bring ing upon the name of Christ by permit ting and encouraging the spirit of race prejudice to not only exist but to fatten and flourish In their midst. Ood selected a Jewess to be the mother of Christ. Nowhere can we find any authority In the New Testament for the centuries of persecution which the orthodox churches have shown toward a great and gifted race. This spirit of persecution, found In every village, in every hamlet, as well as in our larger cities of America, cannot b based upon the fact that the Jews be lieved Christ to be a great man, but not the Savior of the world. In some of our Christian pulpits to day stand ordained clergymen who hold this same belief. A large percentage of church members believe Christ to have been the highest expression of divinity MRS. THOMSON TELLS WOMEN How She Wa Helped During Change of Life by Lydia EL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Philadelphia, Ta. "I am just62yecrs of age and during Change of Life I suf fered for six years terribly, I tried sev eral doctors but none seemed to give me any relief. Every month the pains were intense in both sides, and made me so weak that I had to go to bed. At last a friend recommen ded Lydia E. Pink- 1 ham's Vegetable Compound to me and I tried it at once and found much relief. After that I had no pains at all and could do my housework and shopping the same as always. For years I have praised Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound for what it has done for me, and shall always recommend it as a wo man's friend. You are at liberty to use my letter In any way." Mrs.TiiOMSON, 649 W. Russell St, Philadelphia, pa. Change of life is one of the most critical periods of a woman's existence. Women everywhere should remember that there is no other remedy known to carry women so successfully through this trying period as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Wearied of her wet hair and brown skin that he adored so Just a little while au which the earth has known, and believe Ills example to be the one- to follow; but they do not believe In the Immacu late conception. There was a time when such liberal beliefs were dangerous to express, and when the orthodox church meted out torture and death of those who dared utter them. But a broader and saner and more tolerant spirit has come into the world, and with this broader and saner spirit has come a truer reverence for Christ and a truer understanding of the creed as well as herself He taught, the creed which bids develop that Is called pub th Christ within ourselves; to find the I Ho spirit. There kingdom of heaven which is within, and by our daily lives in thought, word and deed to seek to be perfect "even as our Father In heaven Is perfect" and to be come "one with Ood," which is the ulti mate goal of each human being. This is the only creed which can "save the world."

The Bible tells us that the Lord called Abraham to be the father of a chosen race of people. The Israelites became the most powerful na tion on earth. Like all people who become powerful, they grew Intolerant and misused their privilege. In Leviticus we are told that God said unto them: "If ye will not hearken unto Me, I will punish you seven times more for your sins and break the pride of your power." "Afterward they shall return and shall know the goodness of the 'Lord In their latter days." "I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will bring them again to place them and they' shall be as though I had not cast them off. Their children shall see it and be glad." Let the Jewish people read over these prophecies and rejoice, and know that their future is to be more glorious vhan their past. In no other nation upon the earth today can be found so much genius, so much power, so much exe cutive ability. Through great suffering and tribulation the Jews have come to , be the most philanthropic, benevolent and charitable people. The day is not far off when they will be recognised again as world leaders in thought and achievement. For they are a God-loving and, a God-fearing people, and through their sorrows they are de veloping the "Christ within," and greater works they shall yet do.

Doubtless she would have preferred so leaving it, but for some reason the older and wiser heads didn't bother auout It.

And all the little Dans cluster like a swarm of greedy Two Girls So Mlns Kllzabeth Zlmmcr pondered on the health of her community and how It would be Improved by those public baths. "What can I do?" she asked herself proving the possession of social con sciousness. She considered this plan and that. She sifted her own propositions down to one of an endless chain of let ters. By writing ten letter, herself and ask ing each friend to whom .he sent them to write ten others, she put on foot a plsn to secure 10,000 signature, to a peti tion asking from the distributive agents of the community fund the building of such a bath. The petit! n la rolling up an imposing lot of signatures. That significant sign of public sentiment will impress the board In authority. The public baths are as.ured.

If I thought so, I would vota for votes for women." In Boston a girl Is living In a different atmosphere and for a different reason. The girl, whose home Is in a small city In Maine, had known for two year, a man who poured honeyed words Into her ears. She knew he was married, but he told her in the honey-flavored accent, that he had .ecured a divorce. He urged her to take train from her home with him. that when they reached Brooklyn they would be married.

Tebulous-mlnded people make the claim that an unsettled state of con viction is a symptom of Intellectual breadth. On the contrary, it denotes a condition of vacuity, which has no di mensions, neither breadth, length nor thlcknexs, and as such prevent, one from being a producer. Under such cir cumstances one has no motive for pro ducing. If he does not believe i hi. country there will be no reason why he should fight for his country.'

On their arrival he told her the ceremony would not take place that day, not until he had found work. On day he disappeared. That he had planned the disappearance was shown beyond a doubt by the fact that he had taken all the money and jewels she had, a few dollars and lesser trinkets, with him. Within a week he was found dead, a suicide, and the girl wa. discovered starv ing at her prison-like home In Brooklyn, Now In the home of a sheltering relative In Boston she doing a great deal of thinking, as so many do their thinking afterwards. Yes. .he was unfortunate. Yes, she was duped by an unprincipled man. That appears upon the face of It and requires no comment. What Is less obvious, but quite as true, Is that the first girl I have told you about Is honored because she thought, and the other dishonored be cause .he didn't think. If. a good habit to form, girls, that of thinking things over beforehand. After thought, are apt to be futile. Be sure to think, but think at the right time and In the right direction. tThat man who tells yiu of the failure of his first mating and asks you to go to a distant city to marry him is not the right direction for your thoughts. Convictions mistaken religion. If thoroughly believed in, is better than none, for it affords ground of support and gives tension to action; Just as a wooden leg Is better than no leg, for although It Is fictitious It help. on. to get about. Were we to apply thev principle we are urging to matter, of religion, we should have to acknowledge that the Roman Catholic church shows much sounder sense than do very many of our Protes tants. The former not only stsnds spon sor for certain forms of doctrine, but Insists upon their Inculcation. It give, it. children something definite to believe, and the belief accomplished In them by faithful tuition fits the child to grow up with a Catholic consciousness. With a large number of Protestant parents, on tha contrary, no serious ef fort is made to establish In the mind of the child definite religiou. conviction., tha consequence of what U that it grow, up without any, becomes a religious Invertebrate, Just as It would become a mathematical Invertebrate if It wa-i not taught artthematlc, and because In vertebrate absolutely without religious force in the world.
