Love of humanity, high sense of justice. tenn

Czar end the slaughter What 1t did for the
Cubans. for the Armenians and the Chinese 1t
should do for the Jew.
/ believe that the American people ought to rise
en- masse and in the Of humanity protest
against Russian barbarity. We should institute a
Campaign of protest against the fmpotency of the
Russian Church IN preaching love and countenanc-
Ing hate. I believe that IL is the duty of Chris
tarity everywhere TO rise in its might and condemn
the barbarous persecution, since the only crime of
Jew Since this persecution is by silence condoned
ty the Russian Church. the Christian churches in
America should, from their pulpits and otherwise
proclaim modern spirit of opposition to relig
ions persecution. Not only Russia and its Church
hut Christianity itself, should declare to the world
fits condemnation and adherence of these unheard-
of brutaltties
In his address at the Baptist Church of the
F,iphary the Rev. DR.. Macarthur emphasized the
fact that it is Judaism but Christianity that
on trial. He said:
Christianity is on trial. and not Judaism. If I
could be convinced that this sort of Christianity
was the Christianity of Christ. would repudiate
by Christianity brotherly love and affec-
ton. Thank God, this is a false system. Chris
tanity of that type is condemned.

DR. Maurice II. Harris. OF Temple Israel, and the
