IS THERE A CHOSEN
PEOPLE?
W.j. Cameron, Dearborn, Michigan
1933 – does not state what his religious (church)
leanings are.
Subtitle: A
distinct People, a Divine Vehicle
“…Someone may ask, 'By what
right does God choose one race or people above another.’ …God’s grading is
always upward. If he raises up a nation, it is that other nations may be raised
up through its ministry. If he exalts a great man, an apostle of liberty or
science or faith, it is that he might raise a degraded people to a better
condition. The divine selection is not a prize, a compliment paid to the man or
the race—it is a burden imposed. To appoint a Chosen people is not a pandering
to the racial vanity of a ‘superior people,” it is a yolk bound upon the necks
of those who are chosen for a special service…”
It reminds me of the saying, “Of
whom much is given, much is expected.”
GCR300-301
