“Mr. Cohen utterly failed to ‘fall’ for the invitation and instead of
sending his little donation he wrote a letter to the secretary, C. A.
Johnson, in which he bluntly said: ‘Don’t you think you ought to use
better judgment than to ask me to contribute to a strictly religious
work opposite to my own belief?’
“If the Gideons insist upon filling up hotels with Bibles that have no
business there they should go to the right persons for contributions.”
_The Jews do not like the Salvation Army nor the Y. M. C. A._ Many
thousands of printed lines expressed the fury with which they regarded
attempts to “Christianize the Army and Navy” during the war, and the
wild arguments with which they sought to make “Y” work and Salvation
Army work appear to be a violation of the principle of no union of
Church and State. The same objection was made to religious welfare work
during the building of the Panama Canal. If there is any challenge of
this on the part of uninformed “Gentile fronts” (the Jews themselves
will not challenge it) the evidence can be produced. It is only a matter
of space.
_The Jews did not like Theodore Roosevelt’s choice_ of a hymn for the
Progressive party:
“With Hon. Oscar S. Strauss as the nominee for the governorship of New
York on the Progressive ticket, this question rises: Will the voters on
the East Side of New York march to the Progressive battle hymn, ‘Onward,
Christian Soldiers,’ or will the song have to be changed to fit the
candidate?”—_American Israelite._
_The Jews hate with a malice beyond expression what they call “mission
holes,”_ that is, a place of instruction maintained by Christian
churches where inquiring Jews may learn what Christianity is and, in
many instances, where destitute and neglected Jews may receive
assistance and counsel. The boast of how “the Jew cares for his own” is
given a jolt by the dire need which has called Christian welfare work
into Jewish settlements.
This hatred overrode good judgment so completely that in 1911
Assemblyman Heyman introduced into the New York State legislature a bill
making it an offense punishable by fine or imprisonment to entice or
tempt a minor under sixteen years of age into a religious mission,
Sunday school or church without the written consent of the parents or
guardian of the minor! The language indicates a part of the contempt in
which the welfare work undertaken by Christian institutions for the
neediest class of children in America is held by the leaders among the
Jews; not by the masses of the Jews themselves, however, except when
they are terrified by their leaders.
