ELIAS ZIMMERMAN
PREACHED HERE SUNDAY
‘Mr. Elias Zimmerman, a
Hebrew Christian, formerly
from Russia, occupied the pul
pit of the Monticello Presby
terian church Sunday morning
at the regular eleven o’clock
service, his subject being “The
Gospel and the Jew.”
Mr. Zimmerman, who has
been in this country only a few
years, told of the persecution
of the Russian Jews at the
hands of the so-called Chris
tians of that far-away land,
and also of the Jewish prob
lems in our own fair land.
Highly educated, Mr. Zim
merman handled his subject in
a beautiful and charming way.
“Why The Jews Do Not Ac
cept Christ” was the theme
of the evening hour when an
union meeting of the three
churches was held. Mr. Zim
‘merman asserted that ninety
‘nine per cent of the Jews have
not even seen and heard of the
New Testament, much less
read that wonderful Book of
Books.
He spoke of the Williams
burg Mission to the Jews,
of New York City, which is do
ing such a marvelous work in
distributing literature to the
Hebrews and in other ways
helping and telling the Israel
ites of the Messiah. .
The church building was
well filled at both services and
our people were glad of the
opportunity of hearing first
hand from a Jew about a peo
ple of whom we know so little.
A free-will offering was
taken at both services for
the support of that institution,
a large amount being the re
sult. |

friends? ;
One of the joys in it all lies
in the fact that it was such a
surprise. Since I was eleven
years old I have made my own
