Dear People Chosen of God,

When I was in Shanghai, 1938-1939, that city seemed to be
about the only refuge place where the Jews, driven out of
Austria and Germany, could find a refuge, and many of them
arrived there.

There was a call for workers to teach English. I volunteered
to help on that. I found amongst them the kind of people I
liked for friends. I have thought a great deal about all they
have suffered. It seemed almost as if God had forsaken them.

I am a Christian. Christ was a Jew and that makes them near
to my heart. In the New Testament John said about Jesus,

"Behold the Lamb of God which taketh
away the sin of the world."

The Jews expect the Messiah to be a monarch, coming in
glory, and Jesus said he would come again, and very
differently. He was killed and after three days arose
again, and after fourty days he was taken up to heaven
(Acts 1:1-11). Read also Matthew 24: 3-44.

This is what Jesus said just before his death. I have
noticed that Jews who become Christians, often give up
their Sabbath and accept Sunday in its place. Perhaps
some, who otherwise would accept Christ, do not do so
because they are afraid they would have to give up
their Sabbath. That is not necessary. I belong to a
denomination that observes the Sabbath -the Seventh
Day Baptists. It begins at sunset on Friday and ends
at sunset on Saturday.

From a sincere friend,
Dr. Rosa W. Palmborg
