THE MORNING TELEGRAPH.

May 14, 1906.

"Enthusiastic greeting to Nadage Dorée and Her Protest against the Russian Christian persecutors.

At the Majestic Theatre last night Miss Dorée made an eloquent address in behalf of the persecuted Jews in Russia; and was warmly applauded.

At the request of Nadage Dorée one-half of the net proceeds, $700, were donated to the relief of the San Francisco sufferers."

COMMODORE PHILIP.

U. S. S. Texas, First Rate,

off Tompkinsville, S. I., N. Y.

Your valuable contribution of "Gelta" to the Texas library has been received. I have to thank you above all for the spirit which prompted the gift.

Admiral George Dewey

has written Miss Nadage Dorée, expressing his great admiration for the lofty character of the heroine of her book, and thanking her for the honour she did him in permitting him to read "Gelta."

says:

REV. A. LINCOLN MOORE

"GELTA' and 'Jesus' Christianity by a Jewess,' is an embodied prayer for the growth of a greater spirit of kindness and practical sympathy for suffering mankind— a fervent plea for universal Brotherly Love."

RABBI HENRY BERKOWITZ.

Philadelphia, Feb. 25, 1908.

My Dear Miss Dorée.

I have read your work entitled "Jesus' Christianity by a Jewess," and I have felt the thrill of your righteous indignation against the crimes committed in name of the dominant religion against our people. You have put your whole soul into your words and they come with a rush and impetuosity which at times seems to overwhelm you.

I hope that the great purpose you have advocated will be manifestly furthered by your efforts and the consciences of men be roused to the undoing of the great evils which you expose.

Sincerely yours,

Henry Berkowitz.

George Washington Moon,

Hon. F. R. G. S.,

the great English authority, says: "When reviewing 'Gelta' in the retrospect, the perfect picture of a noble life stands revealed entrancingly beautiful, sublime. It is a thrill of the mighty breath of heaven. 'Gelta' is in every sense one of the finest novels of this century. The book is a classic.

"Jesus' Christianity by a Jewess' is the greatest love interpretation of Christ's teaching the world has known since the death of Jesus. It will prove a blessing to the Christian world. God bless you for having written this book."

LEO TOLSTOI.

The Rev. Dr. Pereira Mendes

"Dear Miss Dorée.

"I read your book 'Gelta' with much interest. I am not given to flattery. But I will say that every line leads to a beautiful climax which under your pen shows the nobility and self-sacrifice of the Jewish character.

"It is to me not so much 'Gelta' as the personification of our nation which you really portray.

"We owe you much for your work. It will help to remove Christian prejudice; it will help to make those who worship a dead Jew honour every living one. And it will help us to honour our own destiny-that is most important. Every home should contain 'Gelta.""
