      Remembering black America's Jewish 'silent partner'

      Nov 4, 2018

      Blacks and Jews need to get along, my father used to say, or we bring joy to those who have neither group's interests in mind. That useful bit of wisdom came to mind as synagogues across the country invited guests to join them this weekend. Some woul

      What I Told Congress Today About Anti-Semitism

      Jun 22, 2023

      Today, the Foreign Affairs Committee of the U.S. Congress held a subcommittee hearing about “responding to anti-Semitism and anti-Israel bias.” Given that this is politics and that the gathering was called by congressional Republicans, it naturally h

      THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY

      OUR FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.

      Our debt is large, but we rejoice to say that during the last three months it has been slowly diminishing. It reached its highest point November 30—$82,425.58. December 31 it was $82,032.07; January 31, $79,502.77; February 28, $76,431.49. The cause of this decrease varies in the different months. Sometimes the legacies are in advance, and sometimes the donations. The expenses have been largely reduced in all departments.

      While these figures are somewhat encouraging, yet the size of the debt is ominous. The winter months, usually most fruitful in collections, have passed away, and the time for the annual appropriations is near at hand. Unless the debt can be greatly reduced, the cutting down of the appropriations for the next year must be disastrous to this great work. We do not lose our trust in God, nor our hope that the friends of these ignorant and yet struggling people will not suffer the work to be seriously hindered. We respectfully invoke pastors to secure for us as liberal contributions as possible, and we ask individual donors to remember the work with special gifts.

      DEATH OF FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

      The unexpected and sudden death of Mr. Douglass has awakened a sense of profound sympathy never before expressed toward a person identified with the negro race, and seldom toward one of the white race. We are not surprised at the manifestations of profound respect and sorrow of the colored people, and we rejoice, too, that the white race has shown almost equal regard for his memory,
