This enmity is growing in the United States, in Canada, and in Great Britain. The Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion are being widely circu­ lated in our land, and they feed the rising spirit against the Jews. It is not possible to trace their origin to the Jews. N o one knows how these documents came into ex­ istence, but it is certain they did not arise out o f any Jewish conspiracy. The many origins ascribed for them contradict a Jewish source. He who seeks to disseminate the Protocols for the purpose o f stirring up hatred against the Jews, is doing for our country a distinct disservice, though he may feel he is performing a patriotic duty. fW e may rest assured that Satan, in his determination to rid the earth o f the Jews, will employ every weapon calculated to stir up opposition to themj using"the Protocols, and he will use them to the very^eno.

Mr. Aston has written an excellent tract on Isaiah 53, “A Challenge to Every Jew.” The Mission has printed 20,000 copies which may be had singly for the asking .— E ditor .] YT’XTT orld Jewry and the world in general stood aghast L W when the Hitler eruption suddenly burst upon the affrighted Jews o f Germany early in 193^J. The German Jews had been so secure, so much a part o f trie 'Germany6’ o f art and science, and had contributed so much to that vast development o f industrial and cultured life, that no one would have suspected that any such upheaval was pos­ sible. Yet it came. Many thousands o f Jews were up­ rooted from their German ancestral soil. More than nine thousand have gone to Palestine, and some fifty thousand more have sought refuge in other lands.

Jews, nearly 600,000 strong, German to the core and interwoven by social, commercial, and political assimila­ tion with the whole life o f the Fatherland, could be so completely severed from that life, what may not happen to the Jews in all other places o f the earth ?
