The Wall of Partition

THE difficulty of conducting missionary work among the Jews is illustrated by the following extract from a circular of warning issued to Jewish parents in Chicago:—
Your homes, friends, are in danger! Your tents, O Israel, are in peril! Danger, grave and serious, is lurking round about your home! Seducers, vile and crafty missionaries, lie in wait for your homes! Your children are being lured away by soul-catchers! At —— there is a mission maintained by misguided Christians, who hire these renegades to lure the Jew from his moorings, and the Jewish children from parents' home. Under the guise of teaching your children how to sew, they urge them to embrace Christianity. Under the mask of love, your children are taught by these vile and detestable soul-catchers to mock at and ridicule the religion of their fathers.
It is through such watchfulness as this that the Jews have prevented Christian teachers from making many converts among them; and when one does abjure his faith, he is subjected to a fierce persecution.
