JEWISH OPINION OF CHRIST.--The learned Jewish Rabbi, Dr. Isaac M. Wise, thus concludes a recent lecture in Chicago:
Jesus was a living reality, an enthusiastic and thorough Jewish patriot, who understood fully the questions of the age and the problems of His people, and felt the invincible desire to solve them. There was no originality in His words. His disciples estranged Him to the Jew. His followers made of the cross the symbol of persecution. Therefore, the Jews did not think of reclaiming Him, who was actually theirs, their blood and their flesh, mind from their mind, and intellect from their intellect. He taught and practised their law, their morals and their wisdom, and felt their woes and afflictions. He longed to be their Redeemer and was crucified; He taught their doctrines and was deified: He unfurled their banner, and became the captain of a mighty host. His martyrdom became the cause of a new era in the world's history.
