I look to the Jew. Notwithstanding all his distress and peril through the ages that have passed, he seems to be in another peril, and yet I see the hand of God in it. He was to go to his native land, to the land of promise for Judah, to the Holy Land, and they are going, though many of them are going as our fathers came west — willingly because they had to. Even Hitler is used as an instrument, in the hands of God, of driving them where the Lord wants them.
