“YouMission Is Making History”
claim upon our prayers and our pocket- books? All of this, your American Board of Mis sions to the Jews is earnestly trying to do in your behalf. A chain of Gospel mis sions stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with consecrated workers in charge of each Branch, each one devoted to the "This one thing I do," other Branches in strategic centers of Europe; these exist all only to give to the Jew the Gospel, and so we are fulfilling first of all the prior obligation of evangelizing. Then, to prove our faith by our works, as the Lord has told us to do, we have a far flung program of temporal relief to the Jewish victims of the Satanic hate which seems to be spreading like a plague all through Europe. To this fellowship may we invite you as fellow laborers with us in the Lord's vineyard? We are closer to the end time than most people believe, and never has it been more true than now that "We stand at Armageddon and we battle for the Lord" I
“Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another; and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.” And now dear friend under whose eyes these lines may fall, do you not wish to fellowship with us in this miracle task of making history for God? With the whole world reeling with a demon-inspired hate for the people about whom God said, "I have loved Jacob," with, the Jew under every sky turning to God in agony of soul, and crying out in the midst of his wounds, "How long, O Lord, how long?" is this not surely the opportunity of two millenniums to turn to the Jew with a ministry of sin cere Christ-love? Side by side with our Gospel promulga tion, ought we not also to bring temporal help to at least a few of those who are agonizing in the shadows of such a sor row as has not come upon the Jew in over a thousand years? Particularly, ought not the Christian Jew, who finds himself now ground between the upper. millstone of Jew hate and the nether millstone of Christendom's indifference, have a first
So wrote a friend a few days ago. And this friend was blessed of God with a discernment of what makes real history. Just as the Word tells us that the fear of God is the ¡peginning of wisdom, so we who are His close followers have come to understand that true history is only that which concerns itself with the eternal pur poses of God. And the friend gave evidence of this un derlying grasp of real history by con tinuing: Your mission is making history, which in a world filled with persecution, is leading a remnant of Israel hack to God and to His Risen Son, our blessed Saviour. When I read the promises of God to His chosen people, and realize the blessings in store for them, my heart is filled with thanksgiving for the joy that is set before them. “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid . . . , for the Lord thy God, He it is that doth go with thee.*’ Deut. 31:6. FROM A CHINESE REFUGEE And God is giving this same discern ment to His faithful ones even in the re mote corners of the earth. From far off China came a letter which opened our eyes to this amazing fact. It was from a Chinese Christian brother in Hong Kong who had been a generous helper of our Mission for a number of years past, and who tried faithfully to follow God's mis sionary order "To the Jew First." Like a flood, the enemy, Japan, came in and heaped suffering, loss of fortune, brutal death, agony of soul upon thousands of helpless Chinese. Our friend found him self a refugee and on the trek. He found refuge in Hong Kong, and from there sent us his annual gift, "To the Jew First," and this is what he wrotepP»8| “I have become a refugee at Hong Kong, after the fall of Hankow. Since I wrote you last year, the war is still raging. The suffering among our people beggars description. Among all these trials we cannot forget your people, and we take this opportunity to send you herewith our usual sub scription of #200.00.” At the next meeting of our Directors the hearts of all of us were deeply touched, and a special prayer of thanksgiving was offered up, together with an earnest plea that somehow God might reward this faithful Chinese servant of His in some special way for what he had done. One of our directors called attention in this connection, to that beautiful picture given in Malachi 3:16,
