The Worst Enemies.—Dr. Hermann Adler tells the Jews some forcible truths, the principles of which are just as applicable to Christianity. He said to some clerical students:—
"The question is sometimes asked, 'Who is the most dangerous foe to Judaism?' The answer is readily given; why, of course, anti-Semites. No! They are not our worst enemies. Bad Jews! Here we come nearer the truth. But the worst enemies, undoubtedly, are bad ministers, who have no real love for their calling, who enter upon it from low and unworthy motives, for the stipend they may earn and the living they obtain, who, in the trenchant words of Scripture, 'Crouch for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread,' saying, 'Put me, I pray thee, in one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.'"
