The Jewish outlook., 1905-08-04
Jews the Chosen People


Christian church. in an eloquent sermon
preached last Sunday, called attention to the
fact that Jews were chosen of the Lord. He
said in part
Again and again the Hebrew race is
spoken of in the literature of the Jews
the chosen people, This is the language
of Jehovah concerning the descendants of
Abraham. The words Israel and Jacob
are employed as designations OF this most
wonderful race. By the statesman preacher,
Isaiah, the Lord says: Thou Israel, my SER
vant Jacob whom l have chosen And
again: Hear, o Jacob, my servant; and
Israel whom have chosen 1t is common
for the statesmen of the race to speak of
their people as the chosen of the Lord.
"They were not chosen because they
were great, nor because they were good.
Theirs was clearly an election on grace:
Nor was it for the personal advantage of
the chosen. His purpose in choosing this
people was worldwide. His favor mani
tested toward them for the ultimate
good of the human race They were made
the custodians of ethical and spiritual truth
for the ultimate enlightenment of mankind.
Each nation is, in an important sense,
chosen people. Each nation has a mission.
THE American nation is elect people.
To teach democracy is our special mission
1t is ours to encourage self-government
among the peoples of the earth. 1t has
made us world power for this purpose
Our God is the God of nations.
"His chosen people, the Hebrew race
were chastised humbled, beaten down, i'm
poverished, scattered, held in bondage again
and again. One might be excused for think
ing that He has cast off the people whom
He has chosen, but He has not. The Jews
are His people still The mission of this re-
markable people is not at an end Our God
has place and work for the Jews. I may
not know what the place and work are, but
for them He has place and work. OF this
| am sure.
Indebted to Jews.
"Our indebtedness to the Jews is in
calculabe 1t makes my blood hot to
hear speak disrespectfully of the sons
of Abraham. We are indebted to the chosen
people for Bible. Each of the writer's
of the New Testament, with a single eXcep-
ton, was a Jew.
ITO this extraordinary people we are in
debted for the founder of the Christian re-
ligion. pure-blooded Jew is the author
and finisher of our faith. To them we are
indebted for the profoundest ethical truths
the world has ever had. To the Jews, Gods
chosen people, the American republic is
more indebted, far more indebted for its
ideals than to Greece and Rome.
The chosen people are with us to-day
in Denver, and are worthy of our respect
and honor for what they and their fathers
have done and doing for us. They have
a mission.
GAS to their future, I can not with con-
fdence speak. God has in store I am sure
something wonderful The future of the
chosen people is wrapped in the present
conflict between Japan and Russia. rev.
olution is impending in Russia. Popular
government is coming. Persecution must
cease. The time is coming when the Jew
in that land will be accorded the rights of
a man. Our God is marching His pur-

sons desire to purchase it.

hour before the adjournment. Eii yin Langdon,
