The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1906-11-29

benjamin would not stand out SO conspicu-
Iously on the pages OF the history Of the con-
'federacy, nor would a Charles Straus ever
have figured as Cabinet official IN the Gov
Iernment atWashington All these privileges
land blessings as we'll as freedom from perse-
|cution, have come to the Jews through the in
fluence Of the Christian religion. This truth
cannot be denied by any reading, thnkinu
man, save one who is deep dyed in prejudice.
The more this religion Of Christ takes hold of
the hearts, minds and consciences of men,.
the more they are drawn together in a COM
|mon brotherhood, and the more enient thew
become towards the faults Of others. Who IS
It that are now raising loud voice against
Russia for her lnhuman barbarities towards
this devoted people? Is it not the Christians?
AYE, and It a call were made in the name oil
humanity, to defend them from the GRASP of
the Russian Bear Christians would be the
first to respond and Christians money would
supply the sineWs Of war; It is the CHRISTIAN
heart that is stirred to indignation over the
wrongs heaped on this people byl
their savage enemies.
Christ predicted that the Jews would reiectI
Him as the Messiah and for this reiection.l
IGOd would scatter them among the nations1
Iof the earth, making them hiss and by-word
|among the people, subjects Of persecution,l
|dersion and hatred, and yet withaI presevnql
them as distinct people throughout thel
lagos. Is all this a mere happen-So? When|
|Pate washed his hands before the mob and
declared himself innocent of the blood Of this
just person. they cried out His blood be on|
us and our children" Little did they think orI
dream Of the fearful nnaedction they were
|caI|ing down on their posterity, and fearful
has been its fu|finent. History has given us|
1.-THE facts and it is not too much to say that mol
other nation, shorn Of their nationality under|
rule and scattered among thel
nations; peaed, prosecuted, derided, despised|
and robbed without mercy, has or could have|
MAINTAINED an existence during these tWo|
Thousand years as has his people. What does
it mean? Only that the hand Of God is behndI
it, to be revealed in His own good time.
In spite of these truths and facts, curl
Jewish brethren still refuse to accept Christi
as the Messiah; they still turn away from the|
hand of God in all this history, and vet theyl
can clearly see that this Christian religion isl
growing, widening, broadening and is fast|
Filling the earth. It is the stone cut out of the|
mountain, without hands as Daniel saNin his|
wonderful dream, that sn1ote the great inage|
and ground it to powder and was to fill the|
Whole earth All nations ars accepting this|
truth and our Jewish brethren Will also see It'll
after while and will accept it, and when they
DO, their latter glory will be greater than their
former. / he glory Of the redeemed nation will
far outstrip that Of David or a Solomon.
Now just one other thought in this con-
nectlon. Do our Jewish brethren think that
the proud, don1ineenng Anglo-Saxon race
would ever Of their own accord have con-
scented to pick up poor, despised, crucfed
Jew, and defy him? Is not the very idea re-
pulsive and repugnant to Anglo-Saxon pride?
What does it mean then? How has it come
about? In no way save through the Almighty
power Of God. Only God could SO move on
the AngIo-Saxon heart to make it SO humbel
as to accept this great truth Of saIvation
through the blood Of His cruofed Son. This
fact alone is one Of the strongest evidences oil
