- A vigorous protest against the "vindictive and venomous" program against the Jews in Germany under the Hitler government, and an appeal for the election of the dry candidate to the state convention to deal with the question of repeal of the 18th amendment, were heard at the services this morning at the Tabernacle. In addition Elder Carlyle B. Haynes, pastor, explained the meaning of the church ordinances of the Lord's Supper and humility which are to be celebrated this afternoon, beginning at 4:30 o'clock.
Preceding his sermon Mr. Haynes said: "A press censorship similar to that in war time has not been successful in concealing that a definite program against people of the Jewish faith is actively taking place in Germany since the success of the nazis. This is an example of what other religious people may expect in every land which permits itself to be swayed by religious prejudices. Adolph Hitler has been actively disseminating the principals of anti-Semitism for years. This is bearing fruitage of bloodshed and atrocity among thousands of entirely inoffensive people who are hounded, persecuted and martyred for no other reason than their religious faith. These violences and outrages are increasing daily. To be of the Jewish origin or faith now constitutes a crime in Germany.
The doctrine that has been preached so long by Hitler and his assistants that all the troubles of the reich are due to 'the Jewish vampire' have borne fruit and now the nazis are in power the people think it is the duty of all Germans to persecute and harass the Jews. The most popular novelist, Lion Feucht Wanger, the world's most renowned scientist, Einstein, both had their homes invaded in their absence, their manuscripts stolen, destroyed, and their effects vandalized. Jewish homes have been entered in the dead of night and unspeakable atrocities committed.
"American public opinion should express itself, and the league of nations should speak, and let Germany know, in no uncertain tones, that these outmoded atrocities of the Dark Ages have no place in this enlighted century." Warning that the return of beer would mean an instant and decided increase in automobile accidents, drunkenness, and crimes of passion, and that the repeal of the 18th amendment now before the states for action would mean taking a backward step in the nation's progress, Mr. Haynes earnestly appealed to his congregation to support with their votes on April 3, the dry candidate, Verner Main, as a delegate to the state convention, which is to vote on the matter of Michigan's attitude toward the repeal of the prohibition amendment. - History Unfolded Contributor
