BY Mr.. COIN
Son Of Ex.Rabbl at the Second Pres
byterian Church and Greatly
Interested and Entertain
ed His Hearers.
SERMON AND LECTURE
Ne Told the Gentle Christians That
They Go Ten Thousand Miles
to Preach in Japan and
Forget Jews Here.

Mr.. Joseph Cohn, the son Of Ex-Rab-
bi Leopold Cohn of Brooklyn, N. Y,
spoke four times at the Second Pres
byterian church, Saturday evening
and Sunday. His addresses were in
tensely interesting. They dwelt on the
scriptures as showing Gods future
plans for the Jews. They dwelt on
the present treatment of the Jew by
the nations of the world. His texts
yesterday morning were from the
Psalms: pray for the Peace of Jeru-
salem; They Shall Prosper that Love
Thee" and also text from Isaiah: Il
Have set Watchmen on thy Walks. oh
Jerusalem which never hold their
peace! Ye that as the Lords remem-
brances take no rest and give Him no
rest till He establish and make Jeru
salem praise in the Earth" Never
since the days of Solomon has Jeru-
salem been praise In the Earth,
but Gods plan and promise are to
make the city of Jerusalem praise in
the Earth. You read the uninspired
chapter heads in your authorized ver-
sion of the Bible and you will find the
glowing words Of the prophet fortell-
ing the blessings to come to Israel-to
zion-to Jerusalem What do your
commentators do? They say in these
chapter headings, blessings to come
in the church." They are not for the
church at all 1t is rank blasphemy to
AicjN fy,fn in
haps the next chapter contains curse
on Israel for her sins. Now what do
your teachers do? Is this curse for
the church? Oh no; give it to the
Jew, Blessing for the church and
cursing for the Jew. No, Jersalem
means Jerusalem and the church is
scarcely mentioned in the old testi-
ment.
To Pray for the Peace of Jerusa
lem means to pray for the Jews
How much time and breath have you
spent praying for the Jews Have YOU
given dollar. to Jewish work?
Last night Mr.. COINS text wa,
Romans. first chapter, 16 verse: g
am not ashamed of the gospel Of
Christ, for it is the power of God t
every one that believeth to the Jew
first and also to the Greek But yot
know that most preachers in usins
that text leave off the last clause ant
say 1T is the power of God to every
one that beiieveth' But God saws
Ito the Jew first You Gentle chris
tians gre spending millions of none
and going ten thousand miles tt
preach the gospel to the people of ia
pan. Now it is all right to give tn
gospel to the heather but you ar
stepping right over one million Jew
" in New York and hundreds of thous
ands in Chicago and ST Louis an
Cincinnati to carry the gospel to tn
distant lands and God says to tn
Jew first" You are plainly disobeyin
God
The Jew is in darkness about til

Christ with his Messiah. He sees n
