THE NAZI BIBLE

The elimination uf the Jewish taint from the New Testament will be a still more difficult task. As it stands, large parts of it are unintelligible without the Old Testament. All these quotations and references will have to go, and tho provision of substitutes will be a matter of greater difficulty and delicacy than shooting a Communist or flogging a Jew. What is to be done with Bt. Paul’s Epistles? He certainly must not be allowed to describe himself as “of the stock of Israel, of the tribo of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews.” “Of German stock, of th P tribe of Hitler, a Nazi of the Nazis” would be a simple and easy change, but the number of consequential amendments that would bo involved might prove embarrassments. We are very much afraid that like Genesis and Job, like Isaiah and thc Psalins, the Epistles of Bt. Paul will have to be abolished. And when we say “abolished” we mean what wo say. By “thc abolition of the Old Testament” the Nazis mean no more than leaving it out of their Bible. But why should the Jewish poison be allowed to remain in all other Bibles and spread far and wide a contagion that' may sap the foundations of tho State? To throw them all into tho bonfire is the o.nly safe course. —Evening Post.
