The Jews are bitter against all Christian denominations because of the
conversion of numerous Jews to them. A large number of Jews have become
Catholics; one of the _Knights of Columbus’_ most useful lecturers
against the menace of radical socialism is a converted Jew. It is so
also with the _Presbyterian Church_ which has been the most recent
victim of Jewish vituperation. But only upon the Catholic Church has the
Jew poured more wrath and malediction than he has poured upon _Christian
Science_. The Christian Science church has attracted large numbers of
Jewish converts. Some of them have become very active, devoted members
of that form of faith. Scores of columns and pages have been devoted to
their denunciation in Jewish newspapers, magazines and books. Christian
Science is a peculiar anathema to the Jew.
Where then is the religious prejudice? Search through the publications
of all the churches named, and you cannot find in all their history so
much of the spirit of prejudice and persecution as you can find
expressed in the Jewish press in one single day. Jewry reeks with such
prejudice. In politics, education, social functions, public holidays,
literature and newspapers, they see everywhere traces of “Christological
manifestations” and cry them down.
_No public man has ever given public evidence of his Christian faith
without rebuke from the Jews._ Mr. Bryan, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Taft, Mr.
Wilson, two of them Presidents, one of them Vice President, and the
other Secretary of State, have all been called to task from time to time
for their sins in this respect. Mr. Marshall is a devout man, whose
faith is real to him, and he speaks very naturally about it at times. He
has, therefore, been attacked oftener in the Jewish press than has any
other public man of recent times. Nothing is more ludicrous to the
Jewish press than a Vice President of the United States openly
confessing that he is an “idolater,” that is, a worshipper of the dead
Jewish imposter whom the Christians ignorantly call “Christ.” To Mr.
Marshall’s honor, be it said, he never apologized, he never begged to
withdraw his public statements. Neither did William J. Bryan, whose
lecture “The Prince of Peace” contained statements in honor of Christ
which brought him into conflict with Jewish spokesmen everywhere, and
whose remarks about missions after a trip around the world were savagely
attacked by Jews. Mr. Bryan did not apologize either. Mr. Taft was
promptly called down on several occasions for using forms of the word
“Christian,” which were particularly offensive to the Jewish press
because they had advertised far and wide during the Taft campaign that
Mr. Taft was practically a Jew in his belief in that he had abandoned
all the distinctive Christian doctrines pertaining to Christ. After his
lapses in which he used the term “Christian” approvingly, it was
explained on his behalf (1) that he was accommodating himself to the
