The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1864-02-06

In 'Ca.echism for the use Of the Metho
dist Missions," by Bishop Capers, is a"Chap
ter on the Cruciaxion," from which we ex
tract the following passage:
81, was az II the world Of sinners were in League
with the world of fallen angels TO do the usmos
wrong to the Son Of God, the seed Of the woman
We overlook ourselves when we ascribs u au i'
tue Jewe. Jesus could not have been csnciheo a
all II . Gentle Governor had not given scntenet
against him; and this he did protest Ing 40 nc o..
II that II was unjust. Those were oen. .. 1 ~,
diers, too, " no put the crown OF thofna upon M
head, Knocked him, smote him, ana SPIT upo'
him The world was there, a. II come 20
xeaheY to lay both hands-the hand o. tht
Jews and the hand Of the Gentiles on IN.
head Of the victim who was 10 beas thei,
sine away to the land OF forReiiulness. Inc aera
actually done was II Jews aud Isn'iics. pnssu
and people, high and low, rich and poor, fnafisess
Saducees, Herodians, men of all ssets, and men o.
no sect al all, offended. at the purity OF Jesus
would rid themselves by violence Of his teaching
and example; too true, as they were, 10 DC ais
proved, and too holy for them to endure"
If the Gentle world would bear in mind
such truths % these, its propensities fol
persecution would receive sanitary check
1t had Its representatives In the most fearful
tragedy Of all time, and If it had been in the
place Of the nation which caused Jesus to be
crucihed, would have done precisely the
same. The Jewish people, in their whole
history, and In no part of it more than their
GROWING crime, are fair type OF the wnoie
race of man. 1t was not tue sins OF the
children of Israel alone, but the sins OF all
mankind, that caused the great sacrifice OF
Galway, aud sprinkled the blood OF the
Atoning Lamb upon the throne of Divine
Justice.
Father, forgive them, for they know not
what they do" was the dying prayer OF the
Son of God. Do Gentiles prove themselves
good Christians by refusing to forgive as
Christ has forgiven? Do they remember
when the word Jew is terms of bitter re-
proach and derision, that the Divine Founder
of their faith was of the seed of David, and
that all his Apostles were likewise Jews p
Do they remember that they not only were
the chosen people of God, but that accord
ing to the plain teachings Of both the Old
and New Testaments, and the universal
opinion of the Christian Fathers, when the
consummation Of oil things approaches, they
are to be restored to the truth and be again
His chosen people, and unto them shall the
fullness of the Gentiles come?
We are thoroughly Disguised, 10 this era
OF universal speculation and extortion, with
the slang OF "Jew, jew" a cry akin to that OF
the practiced pickpocket, when be joins the
hue aud cry of ''Stop Thief" to divert at
tention from himself As Mr.. Cobb justly
remarked in late speech in Georgia, "there
are Yankees born in the. South and South
erners born in the North, and good many
uncircumscised Jews among the Gentiies. u
Whatever else the Jews have speculated in,
aud we do not believe they have speculated
in anything more than the Gentiles, they
have not speculatcd in Ii our or III any of the
nccess aries Of life, an enormous crime which
is perpetrated every day by men calling
themselves Christians. They have contribu-
ted as literally, both in money and men to
the Southern cause, in proportion to theiI
numbers, as any religious denomination
Their soldiers are among the brayest in our
ranks, and if there are some among them
mostly Of foreign birth, who have sought
refuge from conscfiption in other lands, how
many native Confederates after making vast
fortunes, have done the same, and are now
serenely baskipg In the coal fires Of Liver
pool and Lon don.
We would respectfully suggest to these so
called Christians who are grieving their right
eous souls over theaudacity of Jews in specu
lating in jewels and other Injuries, willis,
they are starving people to death by theil
horrible extortions In the staff of life, TIE
consideration OF sundry exhortations utter
ed by Him whom they profess to worship
and obey. "Let him that is without sin
among you, cast the first stone" "Thou by
pocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine
own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly te
east ont the mote out of thy brothers eye. ,
