H H "pHF.UH is no better illustration of the baneful H t-ITccts of dishonesty than the persecutions H endured by the Jewish people in most pails of H the world, and particularly in Russia. The Jews H appear to have inherited for a great many goner- H ations back a disposition for the appropriation of H the goods and valuables of others, which has come B to be a fundamental part of their make up. They H are honest only so far as the strong arm and Wk watchful eye of the law compels them to be; and K it is eh idly through this tendency that they have H been driven, persecuted and despised throughout H the length and breadth of the earth. An illustr.i- H tion of how they are regarded in society, even af- H ter colonizing among highly civilized nations, is H given in the letter from Elder Herbert Haight of H this place, who is doing missionary work in Eng- H land, and which appears in another part of this H issue of The Record. If we crave the fellowship B and respect of our fellows, we must comply with H the laws which society has laid down for ourob- H servance, one of which is a respect for the proper- B- ty and other rights of other people.
