Against Oppressors

But the Jewish people, sufferers and
downtrodden, who heard the beautiful
sermons of the young teacher were
surely against such wanton destruc-
ton OF life. and when Jesus was cruci-
ned they wcpt and shed tears.
Yes, vt was Jews who cried and
mourned at the cross upon which an
innocent and noble son OF Judah gave
his life to satisfy tyrants.
There IS no reason. no thought, no
cause why Jews as a whole should not
have loved and cherished the teachings
and memory of Jesus, the Nazarene,
who died, as thousands Of other Jews
did, for their God, for their religion
and for their country.
The first Christians were Jews. the
first expounders of the noble teachings
Of Jesus were Jews.

Another American
in aris
By Harry Kurz

This other American in Paris is not
just one more, because he is in a class
by himself. He is not soldier. nor
has he gone abroad to sell American
munitions or other material. This
American is aloof from the war, for
he is Duncan, the great Duncan whose
face is turned toward ancient days Of
Greek splendor and whose dress be-
trays the direction Of his look.
In a little hall in Paris containing
about 800 breathless curiosity seekers
he held forth recently in his barefoot
philosophy. The place was severely
decorated for the occasion; classic fig
ures of white clay strcwn along the
walls; stage curtain of mosaic effect;
tabouret of sculptured wood the only
furniture on the platform and on it
seated, in dignilied drapcry, Duncan,
gazing out on the black clad seekers
before him. He tells them the truth
IN French they find hard to under
stand, because it is altered by his Eng
lish accent.
His gestures produce an impression
I
vague ideas Of life and death. His prin-
clpal theory is a negation of all theory
'torget all YOU know. be like child
before life. Learn anew the technique
OF life. Earn BY your toll the bread
you eat. Each one of US should be a
simple Shepherd" And The other life
Is not an exact spot. 1t is in us, about
US, everywhere" Deep facts which VIC
can heartily ignore, because they arc
neither deep nor fact.
And then the barefoot thinker lets
out on the stage a lymphatic crowd of
posers who embody the spiritual in
signihcances Of their masters voice
Finally the black clad elderly French
men and their ladies file out, wondering
what it was all about and if American
philosophers all wear chitons. If the
members of the audience are fortunate
enough to meet on the street an Amer.
lean uniform, a real figure superimposes
itself on the hocus pocus they have just
Witnessed. Perhaps they then under
stand, as they gaze on our American
soldier, what Duncan did not near
when he said: Learn anew the tech
nlQuc of life"

numerous branches. and most oil them
cooperating through the central war
emergency organization known as the
Provisional Executive Committee for
General Zionist Affairs, now represent
a larger membership than that which
was recorded for the whole world at
the time of the seventh congress,
held in 1905. And this does not take
into account the membership of many
large fraternal orders, congregations
and other organizations, which, though
rot directly affiliated with the Zionist
movement, nevertheless subscribe to
the Basic programme and give moral
and financial support to Zionism.
Parties arose within the movement;
the old Lovers of Zion appeared in
the congresses in the new form of ad-
vocates of practical work in Palestine
as opposed to diplomatic negotiations,
and during a lull in the political work
created by temporary lack of leader
ship for d time obtained the mastery
of the situations; the religionists, anx-
ious about the maintenance OF orthodox
Jewish principles, formed the Miz-
rachi; the socialist Zonsts, desiring
to save the new state from the evils of
competition, formed the Poale Zion;
the spiritual Zionists, emphasizing the
things of the soul, formed the cultural
group; but throughout the growth and
the development of the movement Zion
ism, though representing in organized
form only part of the Jewish people,
in essential beliefs and views, however,
responded to the deepest yearnings and
aspirations of the whole Jewish race,
and hence it is that the Zionist atti-
tude Of mind, the Zionist opinion, has
been accepted by the world as the jew
sh attitude Of mind and the Jewish
opinion.
New-York tribune., 1918-02-03
Always Responded
To Humane Dealing

Studying Jewish history with critical
eyes. we perceive that whenever and
wherever Jews were treated humanely
by the Christian nations Jesus was
placed together with Moses, Isaiah and
jeremiah.
We will retrace our steps to oldcn
times and see how the Jews might
have regarded the Meek Teacher of
Nazareth.
1t was at that critical period in the
life of the Jewish nation when the
Romans invaded, crushed and dom
mated the Jewish land and nation, Just
as the Germans have Belgium. ANY
Jew suspected of seeking freedom or
even Of showing mark Of dissatsfac-
ton with Roman tyranny was imme-
dately seized and cruciiied on Il Roman
cross. Thousands upon thousands OF
Jewish patri SO ended their noble
lives, after mock trials.
Jesus of Nazareth appeared Did hq
preach sedition against Rome? Die
he counsel an uprising against the tor
mentors of his people? Or did he
simply appear to bring solace ant
heavenly comfort to those who wers
heavily laden?
We Jews have no data. We surmist
that the Romans did not stop to con
slider, but arrested the young prcachc,
and condemned him to death.
1t is also possible that Jewish official.
appointed by the Roman government
seeking to find favor with the op
pressors of their country, agreed tt
his eNecution
