WOULD "coNvERT" THE JEWS.

Some members of the Episcopal
board of missions favor the raising of
a fund OF $1,000,000 for the purpose
of converting the Jews, because they
are losing faith in Judaism and be-
coming Natheistic .-. ,.a
This move brought quick retort
from many of the rabbis, three of
whom we quote: ~. .s.,,. .
attempts to convert the Jew
have never been successful" said
Rabbi Joseph Stolz Of Isaiah Temple,
"and the thronged synagogues refute
the charge that the American Jew
is straying from his faith"
Rabbi Stolz said that reports that
the Episcopal Church might be in.
duced to appropriate large sums for
Christianizing the Jew were too RI
diculous to discuss.
Rabbi Abraham sHirschberg of Tenn
pie Sholom declared that Judaism
was stronger than 1t had ever been
and that the American Jew was one
OF its greatest factors.
In Europe they have had for hun
dreds of years, great way of "con-
verting" the Jews by surrounding the
sghettos and numbering men, women
and children. In Hungary, recently,
hundreds of Jews have protested
Christianity to save the lives of them
selves and families, but all Of the GER
tifcates Of baptism were overprinted
in red. mot good in case Of pogroms
tmassacres).''
The Jews Of the United States will
not rush to Christianity because they
know that American Christians would
then segregate them and compel them
to ride in jim-crow cars and lynch
them just as they have their colored
brethren.
