Moses and the Lamb

By Editor

The Omaha Christian Advocate says that Bishop Newman introduced a Jewish rabbi to the East Ohio M. E. Conference, and on doing so held him by the hand and said: “This man preaches Moses; we preach Moses and Christ; but when we get to heaven, we shall together sing the song of Moses and the Lamb.” Yes, when they get to heaven, of course they will sing that song. But if the rabbi can get to heaven by preaching Moses without Christ, why does the bishop insist upon the addition of faith in Christ to faith in Moses? The prevalent compromising attitude of Protestant dignitaries with Romanism has become a proverb on all sides, but such outspoken compromise with the Judaism that crucified Christ is a new departure in theology not before intimated. Perhaps it was intended only as a little pleasantry, but it goes abroad as placing Christianity in the light of a superfluity.
