will! But the child is not taught that all this is about something or other that is supposed to have taken place nearly 2,000 years ago; the child is not taught that all the ‘evidence’ in support of the allegations consists merely of an unsigned undated and anonymous writing, the authenticity of which is doubted even by eminent Churchmen.
“Will the Ministers of the Christian religion, who addressed the Conference of Jews and Christians, give a little practical proof of their desire for ‘true fellowship in thought and action,’ which is one of the main objects of these conference? Will those ministers now, in the Sunday-schools and religious classes under their control, cease teaching the children that the Jews killed their God? If they will do so, and if they will influence the leaders of other Protestant churches to act likewise, they will be doing what is far and away the finest and noblest thing Christianity will have accomplished in the whole course of its history.”
