Not because he waa a sinner above all ether einners, but because he was a Jew, And for this rea son they made an outcast of him, un sheltered by the Christian stato, un shielded by ths Christian church, and vic timised by both." i "It la a fact embedded in the history of the pest and the right, the proper. the just, thing for the Christian church te do, is to try to pay-In full measure it never can but to try to pay that reparation debt, and how Is the Urn. "In thla his bitter hoar, In his starving and suffering hour, bow Is the time to nay It The debt Is due, it la overdue and the payment now should be made aad I appeal not merely to. the sons of Zlon here, my Jewieh fellow cltisena, but I ap peal to my Christian fellow cltlsens In this land to pay and discharge promptly and generously this reparation debt to the Jew, .

In his eesay, I think, oa the 'Amerloaa Scholar,' says something like this: The gods at the outset divided man late men that they might be helpful te himself, as the hand Is divided Into ftneers to better serve Its tad.'

I appeal to that humanity, that American humanity, to pay promptly, with free and open hand.
