Paul krueger and the Jews.
The following stories OF Mr.. Kruger
appear In Mr.. Hobson's book about the
Transvaal war:
"A few years ago he was induced to
take part In the opening cerem&ny at q
Jewish synagogue. On entering and
taking his place. he removed his hat,
and paid no heed whatever TO the sug-
gestion Of his secretary, who explained
the Jewish custom of covering the
head. When the time came for the
Presidents address, he calculated few
brief sentences, and amazed his songre-
cation by concluding thus: I declare
this synagogue open in the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ On another occa-
sion. shortly after he had presented on
behalf of the State a piece OF land ian
erO for the building OF a Dutch Re-
form Church, he was approached by
an influential Jew, who rendered a
similar request on behalf OF Jewish
congregation. The President promised
to consider the request, and soon after
ward announced that he had granted It,
Shortly after, however, he was waited
on by his Jewish friend, who complain
ed that the piece of land they had re-
ceived was only half the size of that
given for the Dutch Reform Church.
Well retorted krueger, what fault
have you to find? They believe the
whole Bible, so they get an erf; you
only believe half the Bible. and you
get half an erf.'"
