voked the Holy One o f Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward” (Isa. 1 :2-4). Israel has mot improved greatly since the prophet wrote that terrible indictment. In fact, the Jew sometimes sinks almost to the level o f the Gentiles! I f God has any special favors in reserve for Israel, His reason is specific: “ Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness o f these nations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaác, and Jacob. Understand therefore, that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people” (Deut. 9:5, 6 ) . The only reason the sons o f Jacob have not been devoured by the dragon long ago, is that their God—the God o f Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob— is a covenant-keeping God! T he D ivine ' S ide to A nti -S emitic F ury Verily, there is a divine side to the anti-Semitic fury that Jehovah, for centuries, has permitted the dragon to pour out upon the head o f Jacob. “ His blood be on us, and on our children” (Matt. 27 :25). It has been! And there it will remain until they shall confess: “ W e are verily guilty concerning our brother” (Gen. 42 :21). Yes, there it will remain until they shall see Him astride His white charger (Rev. 19 :11) with the “ wounds” (Zech. 13 :6) still in His hands. Only then shall they c r y : “My Lord and my G o d !” (John 2 0 :28 ). Only then shall the.pilgrim o f the ages find rest in the homeland, and none shall make him afraid. Let there be no maudlin sympathy; it is not wholly without cause that the tide o f anti-Semitism has arisen against the Jew. f^h ile we have no agreement whatever with the dragon-spirit o f anti-Semitism, yet the fact re mains that all out o f proportion to his numbers, the Jew is the world’s archtroubler. Most of the revolutions o f Continental Europe in the nineteenth century were fos tered by Jews. The Jew is not proving himself to be a Nathanael in this twentieth century! More than any one else, we can thank Karl Marx, socialist-preacher of the war o f the proletariat, and his chief backer, Friedrich Engels, for the death damp o f communism that rests as a noxious' effluvium upon the nations today. It is an indisputable fact that the stage and the movies, foremost o f the Satanic agen cies for the world-wide demoralization o f youth, are almost wholly dominated by Jews. There seems to be some ground for the widespread belief that the present universal eco nomic breakdown was due to gold in the manipulating hands o f Jews— especially German JewsTjV-- 6 7 /?//*■* A book, The Cause o f the World’ s Unrest, which was published in London in 1920, carefully tabulates the leaders o f the Neronian Bolshevik Revolution. O f the fifty names which are given, only six are really Russians, one is a German, and the other forty-three are Jews — one, a Jewess. German Jews themselves now and then confess that the German people have some reasons for their apprehensions. lEven spiritistic Hitlerism is preferable to atheistic Soviet ism. In simple justice to the great mass of Jewry, it should be stated that the Bolshevik Jew is of atheistic Jewry— not o f orthodox JewryTUThe Bolshevik Jew, hater o f all that is called God, naturally is ' s\&>rtv enemy o f his own be lieving brethren. One o f the earlier leaders o f the Bol- sheviki was Trotsky. To the patriarch Tikhon (since a vic tim o f Soviet bloodthirst) Trotsky said ; “ If you refer to the Jewish religion, I have none! Religion to me is merely opium for the intellect! As to my origin, I cannot help being born a Jew, but I hate and despise all my race!” Be hold ! a Jewish ingraft upon the seed o f the serpent! Verily, as the Lord declared, “ a man’s foes shall be they o f his own household.”
the best o f us, I hope, are trying to avert.” Being an hon est soul, he wrote: It applies, of course, to. a tiny fraction of the Jewish race as a whole. One could put the Jews who control lead, nickel, mercury, and the rest into one small room : nor would that room contain very pleasant specimens o f their race. You could get the great Jewish bankers who control . international finance round one large dinner table, and I know dinner tables which have seen nearly all o f them at one time, or another. (God have mercy on us common, everyday Gentiles, if we should be held in judgment for the sins o f the mighty of our race!) On the other hand, even if it is admitted that the “ Pro tocols” are a forgery fastened by some designing Gentile upon the Jews—will that admission make a saint out of any Christ-rejecting Jew? Will it limber up a single stiff neck among the sons of Jacob? W e doubt it. There is a disposition on the part o f some Christians to blind themselves to all the sins o f Israel. They seem to think that special divine favor will come to them by so doing. W e are not ignorant o f the fact that the prophet Zechariah wrote as he,was moved by the Spirit o f God: “He that toucheth you [Israel ] , . toucheth the apple of his eye” ( 2 :8 ). Nevertheless, the God of Israel never minimized Israel’s sins: “ Hear, O heavens, and give, ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken; I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed o f evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have pro THE SERIES OF ARTICLES ON Dispensational Music BY ROBERT HARKNESS beginning in the JANUARY Issue of T H E S A C R E D M U S I C I A N EDITED BY ROBERT HARKNESS This series of NEW articles will deal with Present-Day music . . . the highest forms of the modern musical classics as well as the lowest JAZZ compositions. . .
