Cartilage asked for funds with which
to provide Christmas cheer for sew
eral families which otherwise would
be unable to celebrate the day In a
fitting manner. Money, clothing, toys,
nuts and candy, and jelly were am
ong the contributions received, the
last one coming at two o'clock on
Christmas morning after the mid
night service at ST. Marks Episcopal
Church.
AS a result Of these contributions
Mrs. Cartilage was enabled to pro-
vide complete dinners for six famil-
les. comprising 80 people. and in ad-
dition chicken for another family,
not quite as seriously in need of as
sistance, but which would have had

which she carried on in connection
with her work at the Gannett Pub
fishing Co., was not finished until
about ten o'clock on Christmas eve
and on Christmas morning she again
went out to assist others. She was
aided until about seven o'clock on
Thursday night by two fellow work
ers at the Gannett Publishing Co..
who visited three families with her
and assisted in other ways.

which were provided. the toys and

Romans, Not Jews
Crucifed Christ,
Claim of Rabbi Cup

Providence, r. l., Dec. 25.-(AP)
Speaking in his Sabbath address
tonight in Temple BETHEL on What
the Jews think of Jesus" Rabbi
Samuel NJ. Sup agreed substantially
with DR.. Stephen S. Wise of New
York that Jesus is not a myth but
IAN ethical light which Judaism gave
to the world"
Rabbi Cup said that no Jews took
part in the actual trial and cruel
fixion of Jesus, and asserted that 'if
Christian people were to cease tell
ing their children that the Jews
crucified Him and to tell them in
stead that it was the Romans did
it, we would begin in childhood to
make for better understanding be-
tween members of the two great
faiths
Jesus is for the Jew" Rabbi Cup
unequivocally declared, IAN eminent
teacher of morality, original, imagin-
ative, sublime. He was a religious
genius of the first rank. Stripped OF
NEUROLOGICAL accretions, the gospels
are a product of the people OF our
own flesh and blood"
Arguing that the Jews were a sub
ject people and had no autonomy in
matters of life and death, Rabbi Cup
said that 1.-The gospels have ascribed
the crime. of the crucifiXition to the
Jews because, when they were writ
ten, Rome ruled, and to declare that
Pontius PLATE had crucified Christ
would have given the Roman au-
| thoritieS great offense.
1.-THE most amazing page in the
, history of injustice in the world Is
that the Jewish people should have
| been held responsible during 2,0W
years for the death of Jesus. They
were no more guilty of His death
than the Greek nation was guilty oil
! the death of Scrates."
