were the chosen tribe of God at one
time and were supposed to set ex-
ample in their daily life unto all other
nations, but rather than setting the
law abiding example commanded by
God they transgressed every hand
and brought other nations down to the
same corruptable state thus bring up
on themselves the wrath of God and
their own curse. If we just take for
a moment into consideration the pres
ent state of affairs in our home cities
and inquire who are the head OF most
of the gambling dens and the house of
ili-fame and we would find the name OF
some Jew. If the Jewish people at large
endeavor to live a clean honest life
and try to wipe from off the historic
stain the history of the lives of their
forefathers. then there is no doubt in
my mind that the ignorant man would
not think of that story told in the
New Testiment.
Mr. Greenberg denies the fact that
the Jews did not cruelty Christ True.
but he cannot deny the fact that the
Jews were the means to hand the
Christ over unto the Romans as bias
phemer and that their law demand ed
that such man should be put to i'm
mediate death The next question he
askes: why should the present gener-
alton suffer" Because all moral rights
were denied to Christ as a man by the
Jews in choosing the freedom OF a
murderer rather than just and honest
man. Consequently the sins of the fore
fathers falls upon the children. 1 hope
that this little incident will cause a
stir among the Jewish friends in this
community for a more broader life. a
life that would be above doubt. for it is
an old proverb that the Jews will rob
even his own brother" but at the
same time 1 do not approve of such in
sulting remarks as that complained of
by Mr. GreenberE. and il it was in my
power I would by all means try to put
a stop to 1t by imposing a heavy fine.
