SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
1 By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
? Lessons dealing with the mi
s' grations of peoples, exiles and
cnslavr-.m-ents, in the ancient
world have had particular time
5 lincss and interest in these mod-
kcrn days when the worst trage
dies of racial sufferings and per-
1 secutions have been repeated.
It is easy to understand what
happened to Jews of old in Egypt
and Babylon when we consider
what has been happening to Jews
in Germany and other parts of
1 Europe. Problems associated with
racial minorities, and the ways
in which they must be solved, arc
strongly emphasized in Bible
stories and their lessons have a
very real bearing upon life in our
present-day., democratic environ
ment. What happened to Jews in Ger
- many during the past decade con-
forms almost exactly to what
5 ' appened to Jews in Egypt in the
' years following the time of Jo
' soph. When Jacob and his com-
pany went .down to Egypt, they
.: were received with honor, and
'I all went Well for a time. Then
' there aiwiv'a Pharaoh who knew
not Josephh: nd trouble began.
A I suppose that much of it was
as in modern times. The prospcr
' nus Jews evoked the envy of less
s prosperous.' less efficient Egyp
tians, who, for their nn self
interest' and aRit-nndimnen..
made '.royo!" :or the loreigners.
It is the thing that has happened ;
in Germany, and that would hap-
pen anywhere, if bigots, trouble- j
makers and rabble-rousers, some- i
times taking to themselves t h .'
sacred Christian name, had thei.- i
way. I
In Germany, from prosperity j
and prestige, Jews rcuardloss of j
Iheir character and achievement!
were suddenly plunged in'o per- j
'secution and ruin. Artists, writ
ers, musicians, along with unof-
fending humble people, were sud
denly assailed with hate and bru-'

tal violence, for no reason except
their being Jews. Even the op
pression in ancient Egypt did not
compare with this organized hat
red and turbulence of twentieth
century anti-Semitism. The Jews
in Egypt had to make bricks
without straw, but Jews in Ger
many were not allowed even to
make bricks. Their businesses,
their very lives, were at stake.
Against all such hale, and base
treatment of minorities, is the
true spirit of Christianity, and of
democracy Itself. Joseph had
saved and blessed the very Egyp
tions who persecuted and op
pressed his people. The "foreign
ers." whom some in our modern
democracies would treat with Hit
lerist savagery, have marie their
contribulion to the upbuilding
and prosperity of our country. In
every democratic land, Great
Britain, Canada, and the United
Stales, the contribution of non-English-speaking
peoples, or of
peoples of non-English-speaking
origin, has been great. The roll
of honor is long and large.
Two things are neccssaiy if we
would avoid the pitfalls that have
plunged the world into war, and
the hates and prejudices that
have produced strife and defeat
ed social welfare. To all alike,
who live pcaceibly and in law
abiding ways, we must (1: as
sure the full protection of the
law and the rights and privi
leges which the state accords: and
2; upon nil alike lay the duty
of loyalty to the country Dcrw
