Administrative History

In 1899, London established its first permanent synagogue at the corner of Richmond and Simcoe Streets. The B'nai Israel Congregation operated from this location until 1917. With the rapid influx of Jewish residents at the turn of century, the congregation eventually relocated to the site of a former church located at the corner of Wellington and Grey. B'nai Israel operated from this new home until 1960. On September 11, 1960, B'nai Israel Congregation consecrated its new purpose built synagogue at the then northern border of the city. Praised for its ultramodern design, the synagogue complex designed by architect Philip Carter Johnson, housed a school, social hall and youth centre.

Scope and Content

Accession consists of a document printed and distributed by the Canadian Nationalist Party titled "The Sign of Satan: If You Want to Save Canada from Communism Never Vote for a Freemason or a Jew!" According to the second page of the document, the main text consists of "a reprint of Chapter VIII taken from Charles G. Finney's work on Freemasonry."

Rev. Finney's articles on Freemasonry were originally published in the Independent between April and July 1868. Since Rev. Finney died in 1875, it is impossible he consented to the Canadian Nationalist Party reprinting his articles. Rather, the Canadian Nationalist Party appears to have chosen the title, reprinted one of Rev. Finney's articles, and added several quotes near the end purporting to show that "Freemasonry is Jewish."

Administrative History

The Canadian Nationalist Party was led by William Whittaker and based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. In October 1934, it merged with the Parti National Social Chrétien/Christian National Socialist Party. It is not to be confused with the Nationalist Party in Canada (founded 1977), nor is it to be confused with the Canadian Nationalist Party (founded 2017).
