Are the Jews Innocent OF Christ'sf
DeatE2


From the C7eve and Plain Dealer.
The Rev. DIR. Aaron Hahn lectured In
Army and Navy ball Sunday morning On
The Modern Standpoint Of Jesus Christ"
He said.
SIN those days the Jews were under dire
oppression from the Romans. Many de-
liverers appeared. and the people
hailed with delight the idea of mes
sish The Jewish country was
swarming with enthusiasts who
were eager to aid the people. Two OF these
became famous-Judah of Galilee and
Jesus Of Nazareth. Judah urged force.
Christ urged humility. He was tried be-
fore Plate and put to death. His
death was a misunderstanding between
himself and the Roman government
The jews admit that Christ was
crucihed, but deny that he was crucified
by the Jews. Why should the Jews have
crucifed Jesus. They hated him with joy
and delight. The country was swarming
with proclaimed messiahs, but none of
them were put to death. How did the Jews
infict capital punishment By stoning or
beheading or burning. Crucidxion was
unknown among the Jews. That was the
Roman method. Then il is said that Jesus
was sentenced at night. The supreme court
Of the jews met only In the day. There
were two thieves cruci1ed with Jesus. I'm
der Jewish law that could never be. the
Jewish law provides that only one man
should be executed in day. Christ was
crucified under Roman law"
