The Jewish ka,e Is an Illustrious One

There is nothing which marks the
progress and enlightenment OF our
great age more than the march Of the
Hebrew to the world s recognition
and respect.
The distrllst and disrespect for
Jews has become worldwide, save III
Russia and Turkey, dishonored and
discrcGited thing and in the broad
light. the student of history in our
time las come to realize the Jew
high place in history and the hope of
the wcrld
They are Il splendid race, for their
patience. their love for one another.
in their endurance and sagacity, and
immo, able in their strict adherence To
the Mosaic crecdS.
If in our fashionable day and time
one wants an aristCcracy Of birth and
blood. could we fin "A better than go
ing to the jew?
The Jews are the purest bloodcd
and without question. the best de-
scended people that walk the earth
today.
Mirabeau said forccful things: and
so did Patrick Henry in the house of
Burgesses: also Samuel Adams IN
those good old colonial days but
not one of these eyer said trucr and
more forceful thinc than Disraeli said
in the House of Coinmons, in replying
to the charge that he was Jew:
"Ycs. am Jew. and when the an
cestors of the right honorable gentle
man were SavageS in an unknown is
land. mine were priests in the temple
of Goo.
Once when the ,nprofitablc senti-
ment of prejudice i'll the English
commons said to the Jews of Europe:
"You are only fit to make money:
You are not fit for the army. You are
not fit for the halls of parliament.
Macaliley rose in his place and roared:
Glow dare you take this much for
granted! Throw open the doors of
your house of commons. throw wide
the ranks of your imperial army be-
fore you dare to deny cloquencc to
the countrymen of Isaiah. or valor to
the descendants of the Alaccabecs =

The most illustrious of Napoleon s
generals were .Jcws-SOult and Mas
Sena.
And in the world s history of great
authors. soldiers. musicians. Sculp-
tors, poets. philosophers and fnan-
ciers. the Jews have ever been in the
forefront.
Among the aristocracy of wealth
it is known by men that the financial
power of the Jews in Europe can
prevent the floating of almost any
national loan which might be put
upon the markets of the world.
Certainly then, we can not. as a
noble. and advancing Christian peo-
pie. afford to in anywise maltreat the
jew
We get our ten commandments, the
very foundation of our civilization.
through the jew We sing Jewish
psalms. We are upifted by the poetry
and prophecy written by them. The
mystery of the incarnation found eX-
preston in the flesh and blood of a
Jew. therefore in q measure we wor-
ship Jew.
