Nadage Dorée presented ten thousand copies of her book "Jesus' Christianity by a Jewess," to the letter carriers of Berlin (because the heavily taxed Jewish citizen cannot obtain even a letter carrier's position without having conversion forced upon him); twenty thousand copies were distributed along the Russian frontier; in addition to these books Nadage Dorée has written several manifestos (in German, French and English) in simple, powerful impressive language, which have been circulated by millions among the common people of all European countries in her efforts to awaken the conscience of Christendom to the iniquity of the persecutors.

From Mss. of Nadage Dorée's autobiography by special permission.

NADAGE DOREE'S BOOKS STAND FOR FEARLESSNESS IN CONDEMNING BIGOTRY, AND PERSECUTION. THEY STAND FOR COURAGE, TRUTH AND INSPIRATION-FOR NEW IDEAS -FOR A NEARER .APPROACH TO THE UPPER SOURCES OF OURTHIS WORLD'S-BEST, FOR THE UPLIFT OF THE HUMAN RACE.

IN HONORING NADAGE DOREE'S WORK, THE JEWS AND ALL LOVERS OF LIBERTY AND HUMAN PROGRESS WILL ONLY BE HONORING THEMSELVES.

Cher Monsieur Zola.

Paris, May 6, 1902.

I pass over to your kindest services Miss Nadage Dorée. She is a rare woman, a brilliant artist, a writer of unusual ability and of self-evident purity and sincerity. She has a fad, but one of the highest and holiest character; she is devoting her life to befriend her race, to which she is an honor. Her services in behalf of the persecuted Jews entitle her to our aid.

Your friend,

M. de Blowitz.

To Nadage Dorée.

Dear Miss Dorée.

Paris, May 25, 1902.

After reading your works "Gelta" and "Jesus' Christianity by a Jewess," I am convinced that you are even greater than our Jeanne d'Arc, for while the French maid of Orleans loved her Patria and died for France; you, the American maid of Orleans, in your deep desire to help the oppressed of all lands, have caught up the heart of humanity, in the divine love of the world. May the common wisdom of mankind reward you for your herculean efforts.

Upon my return from the country I will do my utmost to assist the great cause.

With profound homage,

Emil Zola*

THE JEWISH CHRONICLE.

London.

"Nadage Dorée is sacrificing a brilliant stage career, and every monetary consideration, trying to do her very 'best' in what seems most needful to be done-to awaken Christendom to its duty in behalf of the Persecuted Jews in Russia. 'Gelta' and 'Jesus' Christianity by a Jewess,' is an appeal to quicken the conscience of those posing as Christians by showing that if the religion of Jesus were really lived out by the nations who profess to be followers of the Christ— there would no longer be the possibility of making the Jew the victim of injustice and the object of racial or religious dissensions culminating in deeds of atrocious inhumanity by those so-called Christians who are not acting with the Christly spirit."
