woman is more familiar than Jacob.
some one has named him the Peter OF
fhe Old Testament; and the history

that the existence and the history
OF the Jewish nation Is one Of the
stupendous monuments Of the inspira-
ton OF the Bible.

Of history. II makes my blood boil to
Hear a man speak Of the Jew as a
sheeny or a Christ-kiIler. II ever you
walk the streets Of glory and are kept
out Of hell IL will be because OF your
Repentance and faith in the shed
Blood OF a Jew, for humanity speaking.
Jesus Christ came from the Jewish
nation. And Mirabeau in the French
Assembly. Patrick Henry in the House
Of Bourgeoisis. and Samuel Adams in
Independence Hall, and Daniel Web

,Some of the shrewdest financiers OF
the world are Jews. You pay tribute

There Is not a cabinet in Europe that

officers was a Jew, and his doctor and
ineerpreter was the FIRST one to land

Choose U. 8. As Home.
And the Jews have been living in

YOU sirs. back to your God.
There were three classes Of Jews.
Fist. those who believed in God, but
didn't believe in the resurrection or
ANYTHING Of a spiritual nature. They
were not looking for Messiah. Second.
another class of Jews that believed in
God. believed in the resurrection. and
were looking for a Messiah, and when
he came and rebuked their sins and
told them they were four-flushers-
gave them the hot end Of the poker
they nailed hin on the cross. Now
iisfen there WAS n third class thot
believed in God. believed in Christ.
and accepted Christ as their Saviour.
We 'Gentiies were heather. We had
no religion and you preached your
God to us. You preached your Christ
to US. We believed in your God and
in your Christ and In your prophets.
So 7 come to call you back to your
owp God So we were heathen-we
Gentiles- You Jews had the only
true God and the only true religion,
30 we accepted II and went further
than you and accepted youi Christ,
too We Dreach him on earth Row,
there Is much in the lie Of Jacob

He deceived his. father. He cheated
his b. ther.
presume there are few of YOU
here tonight who have not IN your
home some momentos Of faces that
have long since turned % dust; things
that remind you OF voices trat have
been forever hushed He robbed his
brother and deceived mis- father. He
was compelled to flee from mis- youth.
and now he Is returning to the senses
az his youth. He commits an act of
cowardice in order to save himself
from the wrath OF his brother Esau.
