Our confidence is that a sufficient number of Jews will see the truth, and act upon it.
What would be the greatest overturn the present Jewish idea, the disruptive Jewish idea, could possibly have? This: a knowledge that the way they are going is the way their own Law foredooms to failure, and that the people they hope to triumph over are the people their own Scriptures say they are not to triumph over.
The first is beyond dispute: there is no success for the Jew, no establishment of him in the world except upon the basic law given to Moses. In any other attempt he must fall when the structure collapses.
The second is in dispute, but is by no means beyond consideration, especially by Jews. In these matters the Jews are much wiser than the so-called Christians. There is among the Jews “the law of the brother” and “the law of the stranger.” The “law of the stranger” permits several important things which the “law of the brother” prohibits. The Jews have been treating the rest of the world, often intentionally, sometimes as a matter of course, according to the “law of the stranger.” This is one of the influences which has helped to solidify Jewry against the rest of the world.
Suppose it should be shown that the people in whose lands the Jews have never been persecuted, the people of those lands to which the Jews have never been “driven” but to which they have hopefully and joyfully come, are not “strangers” and are not to be treated as “strangers” and, so far from being “strangers,” are really the leaders and rulers of that ethical stream of influence of which the Jews, but for their disloyalty to their destiny, might have been an important part!
