The Categorical Imperative S o P hilosophy calls it. But the Word of God uses sim pler and clearer language. “It was necessary" Paul told the Jews at Antioch, “that the Word of God should first have been spoken to you.” That is, as if he were to say, “I can’t help myself, I have no choice in the matter, it is a categorical im perative 1” The imperative lies inherently in the very nature of the case. The natural procedure is to start any Gospel program with the Jew; sentiment surely calls for it ; gratitude too, requires it, if we are at all human ; and most important of all, God com mands it! So powerfully was this conviction borne in to the conscience of Paul, and so im portant did he consider Jewish conversion, that he cried out, “I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ, for my brethren . . . who are Is raelites I” God is just. He promises tribulation, and anguish of soul, to the Jew first! Romans 2:9. By the same token, He asks that in all fairness, thè Gospel of Salvation, and escape from tribulation shall be given “to the Jew first!” Dear child of God ! Can you afford to be less fair than He would have you be? Will you not ask Him to let you see Israel as He sees her? And when He does, a new joy and a new blessing will come to you. Try it. Somehow, we feel that some day you’ll thank us you did. • - Our work still merits your every confidence. It is a program of world wide Gospel testimony to the Jews. Your fellowship in prayer and gift is always wel comed and appreciated. THE ' CHO S EN P E O P L E is of course sent to all contributors.
