OUR work and message is world-wide. The Saviour, in speaking of the last Gospel message, said it was to be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations. This must include the Jews. When the apostle to the Gentiles became a world-wide missionary, he declared, twenty-six years after the "seventy weeks" of Dan. 9:24, had been fulfilled, that the Gospel was still "to the Jew first." Rom. 1:16, 17. So the Lord has not yet cast away His people which He foreknew.
AND THE REDEEMER SHALL COME TO ZION, AND TURN AWAY TRANSCRESSION IN JACOB, SAITH JEHOVAH. Isaiah 59;20. Hebrew Translation.
We are glad that something has now been begun. The cut in this article illustrates, in reduced size, the first page of a Jewish tract, written by Brother F. C. Gilbert. The tract is in two languages, Jewish and English, parallel pages, so that all Jews, in nearly every land, can read it. The Jews being scattered everywhere, every one, everywhere, can have a part in the work. Brother Gilbert was born and raised a Jew. About sixteen years ago the Lord opened his eyes to see Christ as He is, and the blessed "present truth;" and his desire is that this message may go among his people. I surely believe that every one who gives the matter thought, will unite heartily in this desire.
Other denominations are to-day being stirred in behalf of the Jews, but much of their message is but a sad, delusive "age-to-come" hope. But I rejoice that Seventh-day Adventists, tho with but a fifty-six-page tract, are starting to give the trumpet a certain sound in behalf of this long-neglected and much-despised people. The money for printing the tracts referred to has almost entirely come from friends outside of our denomination, who are desirous to see something definite done for the Jews.
Send orders direct to Elder F. C. Gilbert, South Lancaster, Mass., who has the oversight of this work, or to the Central New England Tract Society, South Lancaster, Mass. When you order, if you feel impressed to inclose an offering, either great or small, you may do so; but do not forget to order some of these tracts. And when you have ordered, do not neglect to circulate them. "God hath not cast away His people which He foreknew." Will you?
