With shame true Christians must
admit that most atrocious crimes were
conmitted in the name Of Jesus dur.

that! The horrible Misrepresentation
OF all that the name Of Jesus stands
for still continues. Witness. for In.

name Of Christianity against the Jew
in Russia for years pasf. and In vari.
ons nations in remeter times. Witness
! the fact also that only two months ago
/ the so-called Christians Of R0umania
acted like verltable demons toward

those buried within the two preceding
months were dug up and the putrid
and mangled corpses thrown on the
steps and In the door-yards Of their
families. Can we wonder that the
Jew has come TO have hatred for the
word Christian and for the name Je-
sus?
The name Jesus, as is well known.

signifies Deliyerer. The name Christ
is the Greek equivalent for the word
Messiah. Every Jew, rightly informed
respecting the character and the teach
