ancThow he felt today I take
5t regularly was the reply and
I feel a Httle improved but not
much Have you any of that
medicine left was the next
question by the doctor Why
there is a lot of it in the pot
What is in the pot ejaculated
the other in surprise The pa-
per you gave me answered the
peasantinnocently with a lot of
water from which you ordered
me to use but two tablespoonfuls
t a time A long pause fol-
lowed during which the doctor
surveyed hi3 patient with no lit
tleamount of curiosity The pa-
per is not made to be swallowed
was the next remark of the med-
ical advjser My friend if you
really wish to get well do not
try to use the label the piece of
paper but get that which the la
Jbel symbolizes points out and
directs The slip of aper is
merely to inform you of the med-
icine it is not the medicine it-
self
So it may be well for you
Mr Business Man to know that
the Psalter is our prescription
4he sacred Bible our guide of
life The ignorant may imagine
fthat by grasping at the book of
paper they should be cured of
their ills and when this fails
they condemn it as of no value
but the intelligent mind will
strive to discover the remedial
properties thereof and be bene-
fited by their proper application
The Book of the Law is filled
with directions by the Heavenly
Physician directions which man
shall perform and live by them
How much of the bodily ailment
and moral decadence would be
averted from among mankind
were they to judiciously apply1
the precious scroll for the prop-
er purposes How many woes
and sufferings would be spared
if timely aid were given the
needy ones to uphold them ere
they fall as the Bible emphat
ically commands and public ne
cessities yere supplied freely
from the superabundance of
those blessedwith earthly sub-
stance How much of true hap-
piness wou prevail amidst the
people of tlie earth were each one
to Uve for all else as well as for
himself
A fitting sequel to thi3 little
episgde t Is ihe remarkable fact

that some few days
later the but in 1887 he returned to New
named brother was afflicted
with a serious illness that threat
ened his very life After being
laid up in bed for a number of
weeks the attending physicians
held out little hope for his recov-
ery And when science had laid
down her hands in despair and
medicine had proved ineffective
the old method of benevolence
and prayer was resorted to
And wonderful to relate this
method worked like magic In
a very few days afterward the
brother was able to rise from his
bed of sickness and he finally
grew to be as hale and hearty as
ever Needless to tell that hi3
contribution to the cause we had
espoused was among the most
generous The Zionist

Father Ignatius Dies
Father Ignatius one of the
best friends the Jews ever had
in England died and he is mourn-
ed wherever Jews live He was
perhaps the most conspicious non
Jew who was an ardent Zionist
He appeared often on the pub
lifeplatform to speak for Zionism
and all Jews to enter the ranks
of those who desire to see the
Jews in Palestine again as in
the days of yore
He was the only priest who
was permitted to address au-
diences in synagogues of the Or
thodox Jews While he always
wore a large cross on his chest
he never neglected to take it off
when entering a synagogue in
order not to hurt the feeling of
those in whose house of worship
he entered
Father Ignatius liked the Or
thodox Jews better than the Re
formed It seemed to him that
the latter were leaving out the
wjir turn iiWBi
best nart of their ancestral faith J
in trying to reform it He adap
ted himself to a number of quaint
Jewish Orthodox customs and
adhered to them strictly all his
life He said that ever since he
was a boy at school he felt pe-
culiarly attracted toward t the
Jews He used to like the Jew-
ish boys and for this was called
by some of his companions Jew
mad
All this however is not as im-
portant as is the fact that he was
a ready and fervent defender of
the Jews whenever they were at-
tacked by antiSemites Father
Ignatius was a man of peace but
he knew how to fight when fight-
ing was necessary and he employ-
ed his knowledge in behalf of
the Jews very often In his death
therefore the Jews of Europe
particularly feel that they have
lost a true friend St Louis
