THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE
FrliUr, July 22, IMS
Israel
By A. C. SELLS
The author gets to see The Southern Israelite at
the Public library in Atlanta. He decided to send
us these comments — plus the flattering illustration
of Israel have attained their Dei
ty-ordained destiny.
Under divine guidance they will
flower to the fullness of His writ
ten word, as divulged by the pro
phets of old.
The star of David will ever
shine brightly o’er Israel.

above. Mr. Sells notes “this is written from an unof
ficial layman‘s viewpoint
Writing without sect or creed
In mind, solely as a champion of
the ideals of Democracy, from
my humble niche, in the Cycle of
Humanity, I, along with count
less others realize the value of a
nation, dedicated to the noble
principles of freedom, in the
teeming, uncertain East.
The Star of David, o’er Israel,
is a symbol of Peace and Good
will to all mankind. Even its
bitterest enemies do not openly
deny this truth. Its scientists and
educators have extended an un
fettered helping hand to back
ward neighbors. They have been
shown the advantages of modern
health measures, sanitation, ade
quate housing and 20th century
democratic procedure — Fanatical
tribal chiefs, ruling their abject
subjects with the age-old weap
ons of fear, superstition andi ig
norance, and have instituted guer
illa warfare against any and all
who threatened their despotic,
minority dictatorships — many
are aggressively anti-Christian as
well as anti-cverything and ev
erybody who would liberate the
shackled mind — disease, misery
and barbarism are their staunch
allies.
Despite near insurmountable
obstacles slow progress has been
achieved, overcoming centuries
old traditions and inhibitions de
mands infinite patience, know
ledge and tolerance and there are
definite signs these unfortunate
human souls are comparing notes.
True democracy is contagious!
First a faint spark — later a
smouldering here and there —
and then a full, righteous con
flagration that automatically flat
tens the noxious weeds of subju
gation and tyranny.
History repeats itself. The rag
ged, half-starved patriots of the
French Revolution and subse
quent establishment of a republic
Valley Forge, U. S. A. The down
fall of German militaristic imper
ialism. Abolition of slavery in the
War Between the States — broth
er against brother in a death
struggle for freedom.
Israel’s far-sighted leaders
know this I realize that truth,
crushed to earth, will always rise.
Optimism is the dominant note,
faith in the inherent goodness of
humanity, despite circumstances,
sustains and inspires.
God and truth are synonymous.
All are subject to His will-
He will repay.
No individual group or nation
can defy the supreme intelligence
and survive. War lords and de-
ciples of Mars thrive for a time,
then resolve to ignominous ashes.
Show people the light and they
will find their own way.
The iron-fist of the dictator
loses its grip when once the spark
of freedom has been ignited re
gardless of the status of slavery
of his subjects.
By adhering to the laws of
righteous survival, handed down
by God through Moses, the people
