THE JEWS.
Invariably when we hear anyone refer contemptuously to the Jews, as such, we are reminded of the immortal words of that former Premier of the British dominions, the virtual sovereign of that vast empire, Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield, who, when taunted once in Parliament with being a Jew, rose and answered, "Yes, I am a Jew, but let me remind the honorable gentleman that when his ancestors were savages on the banks of the Thames mine were princes in Solomon's temple!"
And then, too, we are reminded of the fact that He who was nailed to the Cross of Calvary was born of a Jewish mother and was to all intents and purposes a Jew.
Rising above individual likes and dislikes, let us ask ourselves if it is, or ever has been, consistent for Christians to despise the people who gave to us our patriarchs, our prophets, our Bible, our religion and our Savior. Nearly nineteen centuries have come and gone since Jesus Christ was put to his death by a mob. Surely it is time for His teachings of charity and the brotherhood of man to prevail among His followers.
