Passion Play.
ChicBSo.N -Oct. 24. Dr. Steiihen S.
Wise, New York raWil,' speaking before
a congregation of . Jews, assailed the
passion play of Oberamergau as an
agency i.which inflames religious and
racial prejudices against tne jews.
Rabbi Wise said he witnessed -the
revival of the passion play after-its
snspension during the war. .' .
"The -passion play was first present
ed by tbe people of that little German '
village in 1C33 almost three centu
ries ago," he said. ; "At that time
t;he-Jews of Europe were belng widely
persecuted. ; They were pariash the
social outcast. '.'; . "r-i-;-;.:-'' I- , "
"The piny reflects the antlpatiiy for
the Jew that was so flagrant at that
time and I hold tbat Its performance
Is a grave Injustice to the Jewish race
and ouly fans the flames of racial and
religious prejudice." ' ,

and is tilled for many years to come.
The practice is to enter a boy as soon
ns he is born to make sure' of his gain
ing admittance at the qualifying age.
