For eighteen centuries the jewish people
have shouldered the responsibility Of the
fcrucifxion of Jesus Christ, and, though the
ologians have from time to time attempted
to palliate the act, it has remained for the
pastor of the Jewish temple to trumpet forth
to the world that the awful event supposed
to have taken place Calvary is all
myth. Saturday morning when addressing
his congregation at the regular Sabbath day
services Rabbi Alexander preached this re-
markable theory, and undertook to prove
further that it was Simon Peter and not the
Savior who met the ignominious death re-
corded in Holy Writ. To say that the con-
gregation was astonished but family ex-
pressed their feelings. They arose on the
rabbi with such energy that he barely saved
himself by a hurried exit through the back
door. Then his flock fell to arguing the
point among themselves. A general fight
ensued, and the church furniture was circu-
lating freely through the air when an officer
entered and placed all he could get hold of
under arrest under the charge of disturbing
the peace. The rest escaped.
