The Southern Israelite
therP d at his home, including Trum-
I, Senator Giles from Virginia and
Pavid Franks, a Jew.
Put let Trumbull tell it:
; scarcely seated, when he,
Gilo;*, began to rally me on the puri-
ancestry and character of
\n gland. I saw there was no
other person from New England pres-
1 therefore, although consci
ous that I was in no degree, bound to
defend my country, I did it as well as
uld. Whether it had been pre
arranged that a debate on the Chris
tian religion, in which it should be
powerfully ridiculed on the one side
and weekly defended on the other was
to be brought forward as promising
amusement to a rather free thinking
dinner party, I will not presume to
say, but it had that appearance, and
Mr. Giles pushed his raillery, to my
no small annoyance if not my dis
comfort, until dinner was announced.
"That I hoped would relieve me by
giving a new turn to the conversation
but the company was hardly seated at
a table when he renewed the assault
with increased asperity and proceeded
so far at last to ridicule the char
acter. conduct and doctrines of the
Founder of our religion; Mr. Jeffer
son in the meantime smiling and nod
ding approval on Mr. Giles, while the
rest of the company silently left me
and my defense to our fate, until at
length my friend, David Franks, took
up the argument on my side.
Thinking this a fair opportunity for
avoiding further conversation on the
subject, 1 turned to Mr. Jefferson and
said:
“Sir, this is a strange situation in
which I find myself; in a country pro
fessing Christianity and at a table
with Christians, as I supposed, I find
my religion and myself attacked with
severe and almost irresistible wit and
raillery, and not a person to aid in
my defense, but my friend, Mr.
franks, who is himself a Jew."
WHAT DOES IT PROVE
Now, 1 think this is a delightful
anecdote, and I hope Mr. Broun will
explain in his book, just what it
proves, if it does prove anything.
Maybe it proves that the Virginians
■vere broadminded—maybe that Jew,
franks, was broadminded—or maybe,
: proves that Jews try to appear
broadminded.
BUT THE PUBLIC IS
