COMMENT.<br />
The Jews, ever since their advent<br />
as a nation, have been a great<br />
factor lin tbe civilization of tbe<br />
world.<br />
And While today there is<br />
no Hebrew nation, the Jews constitute<br />
an important element in<br />
ailmost every nation oni tbe faoe<br />
of the earth.<br />
I. Our heritage from them.<br />
The revelation which God made<br />
of himself, as the one only personal<br />
God, has been handed down<br />
to us by the Jews.<br />
Moses, the<br />
first great leader of tbe Hebrew<br />
nation, 'has given us a most sublime,<br />
yet simple acjcount of the<br />
beginning of all things in heaven<br />
and in earth, wbich is, at the same<br />
time, the most perfect account of<br />
these events wbicb is in the possession<br />
of the human race. It<br />
is through this same great Jewis'h<br />
writer that we have a code<br />
of morals which bas never yei<br />
been equalled by the wisest sages<br />
the world has been able to produce.<br />
The standard of moral and<br />
spiritual attainment of David and<br />
otber Jews of Bible times, while<br />
not without imperfection, has seldom<br />
been equalled and never surpassed.<br />
In fact the Jews have given<br />
the world all that is essential<br />
in religion: the Bible, the Savior<br />
and the church.<br />
II.<br />
One<br />
Their present power.<br />
does not need to be in a<br />
large city long to get an idea of<br />
the importance of the Jew as a<br />
factor in commercial life.<br />
Since<br />
many of the large daily papers<br />
are owned by the Jews, their power<br />
in moulding public opinion is<br />
the public schools, boith of which<br />
are essential in producing a desirable<br />
citizensh.ip, and to the prosperity<br />
and perpetuity of our nation.<br />
In considering tbeir present<br />
power, we must estimate the<br />
influence of the Jews in politics,<br />
in religion, in education, and in<br />
commerce in our own land, and<br />
then take into account that so<br />
far as tbey find it possible, the<br />
same power is exerted upon the<br />
otber nations of tbe world.<br />
III. Our debt to them.<br />
The word debt includes two<br />
ideas, of something- received, and<br />
of obligation to pay. The latter<br />
idea is the one to be discussed at<br />
this point.<br />
We owe the Jew our sympathy,<br />
for he is mow in the condition in<br />
which we would 'have been if we<br />
had not received through him the<br />
knowledge of the true God and<br />
Jesus Christ His Son "Whom to<br />
know is life eternal."<br />
As w'hen something is borrowed<br />
we should return the same article<br />
or one just as good or better, so<br />
help all the others. The Bible Jl ^ ^, r ^a t \,.a^^ ^-*<br />
