khoWlcdge or this people.
 "A strange prejudice, amounting almost 10 hatred, is found so fre- qucntly among Gentilts toward this people. 1t i'll becomes the Anglo Saxon race to harbor such q spirit as there is q striking kinsmanship found between the two races. The word Saxon is derived from Isaac's Son Drop the 1T and we have 'SaXon.'
 "He who troubles the Hebrews be- gins 10 dig his own grave. God has said in Genesis l2:3. I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee.' It is rather 1 illuminating 10 study the history Of those who have opposed and abused this people. What of Egypt who held them in bondage for 900 years? :? What of Babylon who carried them away into captivity? What Of Rome who thrsted for their blood? What of Spain who sought their annihil- 1 ation? IL may be of interest to know that 10 one family driven from l Spain to Constantinople was born a son who was named Mustapha Rem al Pasha-he is now the master Of Turkey and feared by all Europe. ! Behold Russia who has an unsaVory record of 300 years Of massacre. l thank God I live In country that has never outraged the Jews.
 "The world owes much to the Jews. Were VIC 10 remove from our homes all that is distinctly Jewish what barrenness would result! In every branch of learning and nt- tainment the Jews have no super tors and few peers. Read the roll and see; general science. Einstein; physical science, Hirschfield; astron- omy, Herschel; mathematics, Syl- rester: inventor, Berstein; medicine, Franke; law, J. r. Benjamin; drama, Bernhardt; music, Mendels- sohn; philosophy, spinoza; history, Neander; political economy, Ricar- do; archaeology, Oppert.
 Our own country owes much 70 this industrious, law-abidtng and loyal people. Our government was in existence 100 years before Jew was convicted of murder. Gen. E. F. Butler said that in his 39 years of practice he never had Jew 1 client nor had met with a Jew 1 charged with a crime. In the World war four per cent of the Jews were engaged while three per cent of the Gentiles participated.
 ] "rhe Jew is the same today as he was when Troy fell or when their temple went up in smoke. His | features, language, custom and as l pirations have not changed in oyer
 5000 years. Other nations are cas- fly amalgamated in our national
 melting pot but not so the Jews. l They remain distinctive. Were Jacob to return now to earth he
 would resemble the modern Jew.
 We cannot say as much for our an-
 ccstors, I fear.
 "The Jew is the gulf stream in the
 midst of the nations, Tho marvel of
 the centuries is that he has survived 1 In spite of all the prosecutions and
 sufforings heaped upon him. The 1 history Of many nations Is written | in their martyr blood but they arc
 not erased. They are virtually a burning bush unconsumed. No na- ton in all history has had such a
 pronounced rirility as the Jews. Dr. Gibboa of London thought that the i Jew livs' twice as long as the Gen l tile. Neufville of Frankfort said that they lived fl years longer than the 1 C2entiles. He found that fl 1S Cen ] tiles lived to tn" age Of 70, 2 Jews lived 10 that age. During tho black death of 13iS not a single Jew was
 a victim.
 There Is a purpose in all this. Gods purpose Is being served un-
 douhtcdly IL is for US 10 recognize this and profit by it. The Bible
 places emphasis upon seven things: CD There is a peculiar people, EX.
 la:5: @ There is a land called ! holy. Zcch. 2:lc; (3) There is . city called beloved. Rev. 20:9; " Th,re is one mountain honored, ZHch. i4:i: t5) There is a temple i Identified, Matt. 24;1b; (t6) There , Is one throne established, Luke l;53; i C7( There is one man, q Jew, who 1 will reign, Matt l;t.
 "A declaration that has more I-
 tally affected human history than
 anything else Is found in the first
 three verses ot Gen. l2. IL has
 meant more 10 the nations than June IS, 1915, when the battle oi
 Waterloo was fought. It means
 more to the world than July {, i776, and that is something for an Anreri- can 10 say. The biggest ques, n of
 the hour is not the world cour', lis- armament or reparation, but the
 Jewish question. When this dues-
 lon is settled all others will dis
 soiNt.
 We have reached inc time when
 God Is about to fulfill his promise io restore the Jew to his own land
 Two decrees will always live in his
 tory and survive times ravages One
 ia thr decree Of Cyrus tho Baby
 loni a. in SSs. B. C. permitting the
 Jewn to return to their land and
 city; the other is the decree Of Bal
 four. the Britain. of 1917. This race
 is surely Gods dial. If you will know Of His plans, watch the Jews
 'Thnv will go hack 10 their rify
