Judaism Without Christ

The Jewish Messenger asks: "Why should not the Hebrew be a power which shall work for honesty and purity, for simplicity and high aims in the American life? Why should not Judaism be a force that shall preach personal morality to the Nation?"
The answer to the question is not far to seek; it is simply because with the rejection of Christ, Judaism lost all the spiritual force it ever had, and it stands to-day as it has stood for nearly 1900 years, without power to regenerate a single soul or to remove a single blemish from human character. They would not come unto Christ that they might have life and power, and to-day they are, as a people, witnesses to the truth of his words: "Without me ye can do nothing."
