A REBUKE TO SECRETARY JOHN HAY. In the year 1902, at the time Secretary Hay's only son was accidentally killed, Nadage Dorée sent a copy of her book "Jesus' Christianity by a Jewess," and wrote to Secretary Hay from Paris, in her letter to him, she said in part, "Your son's sudden death is a blessing in disguise—it is to teach you that no matter how exalted, or how high you are up in earthly affairs, that unless you do your duty in behalf of the oppressed, sorrow will reach you. What a hollow mockery to boast as Christians when Christian Governments view with complacency the massacre of innocent men, women and little children whose blood is shed for no other reason than that they are Jews. As an American born-I want to call your personal attention to the hideous fact that the so-called Christian Roumanian and Rus sian Governments are violating the rights of humanity, by their infamous policy of persecuting the Jews. And that their Ambassadors, by their presence here on American soil, are DESECRATING "THE LAND OF THE FREE," and are not entitled to official recognition by the American Government, nor by our people, whose holy standard is "Liberty for the oppressed." America should speak fearlessly, openly, and officially, so that her words will have influence to strike the death blow to tyranny. You who have sat at the feet of the immortal Abraham Lincoln must not forget the Christ lesson he taught you to succor the hapless, helpless, oppressed. As an earnest Christain; as a noble representative of the American people-you cannot evade your responsibility! You cannot hesitate any longer to publicly, vigorously and determinedly demand immediate full civic rights for the Roumanian and Russian Jews. The American Government cannot be a tacit party to an international wrong. It must protest against the fiendish treatment to which the Jews are subjected, not alone because it has unimpeachable ground to remonstrate against the resultant injury to itself and the whole of Christendom, but in the name of humanity. A prompt and favorable reply will greatly oblige. Yours most sincerely, Nadage Dorée. * Several weeks later Miss Dorée received Secretary Hay's letter herein enclosed-and delivered his ultimatum to the Roumanian Government in reference to the better treatment of the Jews. That act of Secretary Hay will live as a noble record of his true Christian character, and will be a lasting blessing beyond: in his spiritual life. * (From Mss. of Nadage Dorée's autobiography.) John Hay. Department of State, Washington, October 4, 1902. "Dear Madam:-I have received your letter and the copy of your book, 'Jesus' Christianity by a Jewess,' which you were so good as to send me. I will give your request due consideration, and am with many thanks, "Yours very truly, "John Hay." The late Marquis of Salisbury wrote: "Hatfield House, "Hatfield Herts, "December 5, 1905. "Lord Salisbury begs to thank Miss Nadage Dorée for her inspiring works of 'Gelta' and 'Jesus' Christianity by a Jewess,' and to assure her that he deeply appreciated her eloquent plea, which is destined to prove a blessing to the world." DR. ALONZO H. SYLVESTER, Dear Nadage. Berlin, I have just finished reading your books. The purpose of "Gelta" and "Jesus' Christianity by a Jewess," is stupendously great -to Christianize so-called Christians, while you exhibit to the gaze of the passer-by the shams and foibles of European society. I admire your American pluck. My Gentile nature kicks against the sham Christians at court. The usual attitude of the Royal family here toward the Jews is-I hardly know whether to say more impious or more stupid, when "viewed in the light of their professed Christian principles. Of course, I am a great admirer of |
