The Jewish advance. (Chicago, Ill.) 1878-1881, 1881-09-23

not let me finish my Interpretation? |
wanted to explain to your son that the
Catholic priests refer to this biblical
verse when they want to prove that they,
as it were, have 70 duties and obliga-
tions towards the State or the family.
This verse, as it were, is the keystone
Of the vault Of the Catholic church, for
it is the priesthood itself; and as long
as this priesthood maintains this verse
with consistency" "
Leave me alone, cried Joseph, with
renewed anger, striking with a clenched
fist upon the table, leave me alone with
your priests, with your keystone and
your vault If want to make a vault |
send for the mason, and not for you"
My good Rcb, Joseph" " the teacher
tried to calm his anger Il did not think
in the least 49,.
" You thought of thousand things"
Joseph said, with increased fury, " but
not Of the right one My child is a jew
ish child, and his father is also a Jew
you must, therefore, speak to him
clearly, and to the point When my boy
asks you, How is it possible that God
should require of man to speak to his
father or to his mother, or to his sister.
| do not know you, you must answer, to
be sure, God may require that; you must
say to him, If your father or your moth
er, or your sister do not want to know
God any longer; if some one goes and
betrays himself and God and the whole
world, this is the bad race of which it is
written, that it has rebelled against God.
This is the disgrace, and to such father
or brother or sister, one must say, |
know you not; but do not use your tricks
with a Jewish child. Thus | have ex-
planned the verse to myse7f and of it's
meaning you can not take off the least
bit with your priests and your philoso-
ply"
Was the teacher now reminded of the
event that had taken place in this house,
and to which Joseph's words made such
a strange allusion? Or did he feel Of
Tended by the harsh words Of the un-
educated man whom to refute his "edu-
cation did not allow him? He kept
silent, and after awhile he said to the
boy:
Go on"
Fishele read:
BLESS, 0 Lord, his substance, and re-
ceive favorably the work of his hands
crush the loins of those that rise up
against him, and those that hate him,
that they cannot rise again" Qbid ~.
There you have it, there you can see
whether it can be applied to your clergy
men. There is the only question of
Jews, but not of priests or church. Yes.
blessed is he who knows not his father
and his mother, and his sister; blessed
to the hundredth generation, and the
Lord crushes the loins of those who rise
up against him, and of those that hate
him, that they cannot rise again"
When Joseph had thus spoken, the
teacher closed the Bible, and stopped in
his work of instruction. Could he come
to an understanding with Joseph? Who
of the two was right?
VII.-IN TIE OPEN FIELD.
Thus Joseph had once more gained
certain tranquility of soul, that feeling
of proud triumph which is necessary for
men of his nature. More than ever he
was now disposed to be active; his hatred
had now written testimony, and it was
God himself who had put his seal upon
it,
With his blood and his life he was
now ready to prove to the whole world
his right to hate, a right confirmed by
the very words of the Bible. Men of
his character, as strong in hating as in
loving, do not like to indulge long in
thinking; they would rather express by
acts the thoughts which agitate their
mind thoir u
