WHAT EVERY GENTLE SHOULD KNOW

There is much hatred of the Jew

By Gentiles and some Christians too,

They surely do not know God’s Word,

To be like that seems so absurd;

Awful are the aspersions made,

‘Twould lay old Satan in the shade;

They say the Jews have all the wealth,

Obtained it by their cunning stealth.

The informed known this is not true,

The millionaires are very few

As compared with other races,

Just count the number of such cases!

Berney Baruch is one exception,

In his way there’s no deception;

Among great statesmen of our day,

Serves for gratis the U. S. A.

Look at others, review the past,

On hist’ry page let eyes be cast,

And see whose names are written there,

Look at the roll with greatest care!

Were old John D. Or Henry Ford

Jews? Now be honest with the Lord!

Were Andy Bellon or Rascob,

Walter Chrysler or Chareles M. Schwab?

Now look to source we get our meat,

Be just and fair, - don’t be a cheat!

Armour, Wilson, Swift and McNeill,

No drop of Jewish blood reveal.

And, for instance, take the bankers;

Look through names of highest rankers!

Morgan, Lamont, Chase and Slaon.

They all are Gentiles, - we must own.

We could name two dozen more

Among Gentiles who once were poor

Who worked and schemed to get their “dough,”

Amen! Amen! Is that not so?

In talents Jews have worthy sons

And daughters too, like Lily Pons;

Most every one who reads the news,

Knows many scientists are Jews.

In fields of knowledge they excel,

Most Gentiles know that all too well,

A Jew discovered T. N. T.

And brought First World War victory;

In World War II which now is past,

When deep’ning shadows overcast,

And hearts were anything but calm,

He helped perfect atomic bomb.

Why curse and damn the thrifty Jew?

Just work as hard, - be thrifty too!

It isn’t just luck we know, but care

And patient labor, - all so rare.

A few Jews may have their millions,

While the Gentiles count their billions,

But constant plodding and much thrift,

Success attends them sure and swift.

But read your Bible what prophets say

God gave through Jews, and – by the way,

The world is yet to see its King,

A Jew – ‘twill be a marv’lous thing.

Down through ages Jews heard God’s call,

Moses, Isaiah, Prophets, all;

In fact, you’ll find on ev’ry page

Jewish apostle, priest or sage.

Turn to Genesis, chapter twelve!

Let Gentiles into scripture delve,

You’ll find there if you curse the Jew,

God’s judgments then will fall on you.

Jewish hatred’s of the devil,

Brags you down to his own level;

The Jews gave us the oracles,

The story of Christ’s miracles

How He healed the sick, raised the dead,

And how the multitudes were fed;

How He opened the sightless eyes,

And hushed the suff’ring leper’s cries.

But let me explain, my friend to you,

I am a Gentile, not a Jew;

Since a Jew is my dear Savour,

He demands my good behaviour.

So I treat God’s chosen race,

As I would be, - if in his place;

Jew and Gentile both the same,

Need salvation through Christ’s dear name.

There are good folk in ev’ry creed,

Most ev’rybody is agreed,

So let us Gentiles watch our step,

Wake up a bit, and get heir pep.

No fault we’ll find in Mr. Jew,

That he can’t find in me and you;

We’ll not protect him in his sin,

But try his precious soul to win.

For in the BOOK of books we find

To Jew and Gentile God’s so kind;

A Korban for our sins was riv’n,

God’s love to all was freely giv’n.

Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Psalms 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

Isaiah 62:6, 7 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,

And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

Jeremiah 30:16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.

Isaiah 60:14 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

Esther 8:7 Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.
