JOHN Judaism, “Purlm and Paster, or the Relation of Judaism to Christianity,” was the subject of the address of Rabbl Frederick Cohn & Temple Israel last night. The Jjuxtaposition of the Jewish feast celebrated yesterday and the Christian festival of Easter suggested the considera- tion of the subject which formed the sub- title of the lecture, “The first fact to be noticed,” sald Rabbi Cohn, “Is that Christianity 1s a direct product 6f Judalsm. Tt arose 1,000 years ago, In the troublous times of the Roman erm, when the world was under the Roman dominion. Judea was a Roman province, was ruled by procurators, who greatly op- preesed the people, and it was a time of intense political excitement and widespread cgitation. “There were three Important sects among the Jews at this period, the Phari- #ecs, the Sadducecs and the Essenes. The Pharisee ¢ leading sect and In £pite of ai been sald against them they er riy of progress. They were Iiberal ard humane in their ideas. They representcd the religion of the 1 ethical Judalsm. The Sadduckes were the aristocrats. Theirs w: @ dull, formal, literal religlon. They were worldly, and did rot, for instance, belleve in & future life. The Essenes, though an obseure, were an important seot. They were a band of asceties who withdrew from he world, lived together in companies ana had eommunity of goods. They practised a contemplated life and were distinguished by the rite of baptism. Jesus was an Essene, and, according to the New Testa- _Jment record Itself, was a disciple of John, thie Baptist, or Ess Longl for Messiah, n these troublous times there was a widespread longing for a Messiah. There were many notions as to what the ex- pected Messiah was to be, but the dominant one, or the popular one, was that he was to be a political redeemer. He was not only to deliver the Jews from the tyranny of thelr rulers, the Romans, but he was to common people, Dpeople were looking for a Messlah, Gradu- ally Jesus came to belleve He was the Messfah, and was 80 proclalmed by His pecple. For this He was executed by the Romans for treason against the govern- ment, a rebél, as the crown of thorns paced in mockery on His brow and the inseription, In derision, on the cross, ‘King of the Jews,' clearly showed. There were thousands of Jews crucified at that time by the Romans—literally thousands—as re- lated by Josephus, the great Jewlish his- torfan, and as also narrated by Justus of Tibertu “It is a remarkable thing,” sald Rabbl Cohn, “that the crucifixion and, indeed, the whole life of Christ remained unnoticed by these historians. It is not mentioned by or Philo of Alexandria, though they tell in minute detail all the doings of that time; those momentous years preced- ing the destruction of the temple in the year 70. “After the political death of Jesus He Was glorified by His disciples and fin- ally deitied, and in: connection with the i . lexatidriahiGreek idea of The Logos, He Al }gme part of tife Triure , the second Dol int the «Prinity, and”that was the ot proclamatibir of Christianity as set “ortlr By the Counecl] of Nice In the year 25 " Chnristian Mythology. It must be admitted there is a Christian mythology as well as a Christian religion. If we are asked what was the real char- acter of the historic Jesus and the religion and"morality taught by Him, we are com- péiléd to answer in all falrness that Jesus was not only racially, but relgiously, a Tew, and that His religlon and morality \re. absolutely Judaism. For the proof of that we have the gospels themselves. When Jésus was asked what was the essence of the religlon He tsught, He answered: ‘Hear, O lIsrael! The Lord @od the Lord is ome.” ‘Ye shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your strength, You shall lové your nelghbor s yourself.' That is pure Juda- ism, it {s found in the New Testament and is belleved by every loyal Jew of whatever sect of religious opinion, today.” Changes in Religion. “There are,” cortinued Rabbl Cohn, “changes coming In the religious world to- day. Orthodox Christianity is by no means belleved as it once was, even by Christians, Such men as Dr. Gordon of the historie South church in Boston, who In a recent book on ‘Miracles’ wrote that essential Christianity Is absolutely independent of anyf and_all miracles. Dr. Elot, ex-presi- +f ‘Harvard, in the lecture on ‘The Re- of the Future,’ dellvered at that uni- versity last summer, which created such . Btir throughout the country, also hélds that £ "Christianity is expressed In love of God and love of man, T belleve,” sald the preacher in conclu- slon, “'with these men, that this will be more and more, as man advances in intelli- gence, In a sincere love of truth, the relig- fon of the future. And that has always been the religion of the Jews.” i —_— When you want what you want when ou want It, say so through The Bee Want 44 columns. Chance to Vote on Saloon Issue “Dry” Agitators Fail to Secure Enough Names to Petition for Question. CHICAGO, Mareh 26.—Chicago lost its chance to vote on the saloon question at the election on April 5, according to a de- cision reached by the election commission- ers last night The commission declared that the petition offered by the “drys” to have the question, “Shail this eity become anti-saloon terri- tory?" put on the ballots lacked sufficient signatures. The “wets” had filed a com- plaint asserting that out of the 74,000 names, 26,128 were those of persons not registered The commissioners sustained this charge after an Investigation, and the prohibition forces tonight declared too little time inter- vened between now and election to permit of court action to have the question sub- mitted to the voters. This decision nullifies the work of hun- dreds of prohibition workers, including many women, who for weeks stood In the downtown streets, on elevated train plat- forms and in public buildings weeking sig- natures to the petition. According to the “drys,” each man wak asked whether he was a registered voter before he was allowed to sign. A. E. Wilson, state chairman of the pro- hibitionists, announced that petitions will be circulated tomorrow to have the ques- tion of state-wide prohibition submitted to the voters. He also declared next year the “drys” would succeed in having the ques- tion voted upon in Chicago. ‘Tomatocs Seized Under Food Law Forty-Eight Thousand Cans Im- pounded -in Texas Because of Defective Sealing.

A portion of last night was spent in viewing the sphinx by moonlight, and Colonel Roosevelt sald today that the weird sight had been theroughly enjoyed by himself and his fam- fly. It was the most Interesting thing he had seen during bis trip to Africa. Tonight Colonel Roosevelt and his family returned to Calro, dined with the American consul general, Mr. lddings, and later at- tended & banquet tendered him by Sir Elden Gorst, the British agent and consul general In Egypt. Major F. K. Watson, who met Colonel Roosevelt a year ago at Port Sald, was an early caller at the Mena house today. He pald the respects of the khedive to the Anerican huntsman and tendersd to him the use of the khedive's special camel corps for the elght-mile ride across the desert to Sakkara. Such a tender Wlways Is & spe- clal mark of favor and Colonel Roosevelt accepted it with much pleasure, The colone! and Kermit each rode one of the animals over the dreary waste to the mecropolls, but Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Ethel chose & more comfortable sand cart. Sees Tombs of Bulla. Arriving at the tombs of the bulls of Apis, the oldest of which dates back tc 1600 B. C., the time of the relgn of Amen- ophis 1II, the sightseers were met by an archaeologist who had been Instructed to act as thelr guide. With lighted candles the Americans entered the dark caverns and looked with interest upon the sighte. Colonel Roosevelt evinced great ourlosity In the methods of burial of the anclent Egyptiahs and plied the Egyptologist with Dumerous questions. One sarcophagus was opened and lighted candles lowsred into it to show how tne mammoth bills were lowered Into their final resting places. From the tombs of the bulls the party proceeded to the temples and the tomb of Thy, & plebelan, who lived In the fifth ayn- esty, but who was so esteemed that he was permitted to marry a princess. Their off- spring became prices. Here Colonel Roosevelt and his famlily were jolned by Oscar S, Straus, the Americah ambassador to Turkey, and Mrs. Straus, Mr. Iadings and Miss Iddings. On the walls of the tomb of Thy are vari- ous sculptures and paintings which, though they were executed some 8,500 years before Christ, are still legible. Theso were greatly adnired and Colonel Roosevelt with his usual keen perception, pointed out to the archacologist the pictures of various ani- mals he had seen lately in the jungle, but which are extinct in uppar Bgypt He de- clared that the fact that they were re- produced in the tomb of Thy was proof that the animals once had roamed this country. Colonel Roosevelt also was deeply interested in pictures showing an Egyptian stuffing geese, a swan and a hyena, which in the old days were used as food. Roosevelt Sets Pnce. Fron: the temple Colonel Roosevelt and his party repaired to the home of the arch- aeologist, where they stopped for a few minutes to partake of light refreshments which had been prepared by the housewife, Between the temples and the tomb and the temple and the archaeologist's home Mr. Roosevelt insisted on walkifig ahead of his party, the members of which had a hard struggle to keep up with the pace he set for them. The privacy of the movements of the Americans was ifivaded during thelr tour by a moving pleture mah who focused his machine upon them and rolied off yard after yard of films. After refreshments the entire party continued their sightseeing trip toward the Nile. In crossing the desert Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Straus occupled the sand cart. Colone] Roosevelt, Miss Roosevelt and Miss 1ddings chose camels as their means of transport while Kermit Roosevelt, Ambassador Straus and Mr. Iddings rode donkeys. Arriving at the Nile the party took a launch out to a large river boat where Colonel Roosevelt was welcomed by George Wyssa Bey, his wife, his brother and sister, all of whom were educated at the mission schools at Assiut and Bertut. A luncheon served on the deck of the Boat under a canopy of orlental tapestry at the en- trance to which was a gracefully draped American flag.

Fifty-three of the ninety-three boys chosen as enumerators were present and all listened eagerly and attentively to the plans as mapped out by W. A. Campbell of the Commercial club and C. L. Saunders, government census su- pervisor for the Second congressionat dls- trict. The advantages of this work by the boys in helping the government get the most ex- act and accurate count possible was em- phasized by Superintendent Saunders In a short talk to the boys. “I am particularly interested in this work,” sald Mr. Saunders, “because it Is ditferent from that planned in any other city In the United States. Your districts will correspond exactly with those of my enum- erators appointed by the government. You are to get the number of each house and how many people sleep there, and you are to leave a card on Which are thirty-two questions to be answered for the govern- ment enumerator, who follows you one week later. “Be careful about the questions you ask. In & private school there might be fifty or 100 puplls to sleep there, but you should ask how many are real residents of Omaha. Likewise make similar inquiries at hos pltals. Don't overlook any place. Stop at the stores, for there may be & janitor sleeping there or some one sleeplng back In the alley or barn. “I'd like to have your report correspond with the government enumeration. We will check our reports by yours and if there is any disparity we will have to make an- other visit to such houses. I'd like to be able to report when it is all over that we followed the best system and had the P-non satistactory reports in Omaha of any city in the country. I know you can do this and do it well and I shall be very proud of you. The districts are small and it won't take you one-fourth the time it will my enumerators.” Blanks, which the boys are to use on their rounds, were distributed. These cards designate the district, street, house num- ber and number of occupants. The boys were instructed to report to Mr. Campbell at the Commercial club, Wednesday, April 6 and be ready to begin work on the fol- lowing day. They will recelve 2 cents an hour for the time they actually put in. FALLS DEAD ON SON'S GRAVE Louis Zoller, One of Buffalo Bill's Scouts, Meets Death in Tragic Manner.
