same equanimity that the ethical
ideals Of other Jewish teachers of his
day are discussed and annotated
But suppose that Jesus never lived
at all, We call attention to that bril-
liant essa yist and writer in Hebrew
Achad Ha am. who. during con
troversy on the historicity of Moses
pointed out that il mattered little
whether the great lawgiVer was an
historic character or not. The spirit
of Moses, the huma nitarian legislation
mankind has inherited in his name:
these count; these have nodded civil
ization.
In this controversy Centering
around Jesus. the AChad IIa am atti-
tude may we'll be suggested. Jesus
was a Jew 10 the core. His spiritual
and ethical ideals are Jewish to the
core These alone. not the person of
Jesus. are pertinent to the future of
civilization.

"One is surprised at the flood of
publicity and pulpit oratory that has

says.
Surprised at Charge.
AS he. himself stated last Sunday

What is still more surprising is that

DIR. Wise ba sed his opinion on 10
seph Klausner's book. Jesus of Naza-

He wrote his book in Hebrew, and
the Hebrew version appeared in
Jerusalem. His object was to give
Hebrew readers true idea of the
historic Jesus, and the first part of
the book is devoted to the Hebrew
sources. Klausner proved by nu-
merous quotations from Mishna and
Talmud his contention that Jesus was
historic character. and these tones
assuredly are Orthodox authority.

orthodox and liberal Jews alike have
commended continuously that these
are Jewish in content and detail.

WEEK END GAMES
HERE WILL DRAW
NUMBERS

Three of the best games of the sea-
son are expected when the Douglas
Blues and the FL Paso Giants meet in
Douglas Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
according to those who have watched
the teams in practice during the week.
The coming series will be the first
series of the season played in Douglas
in which neither of the teams will
have had to travel, due to the fact that
the Giants remained in Douglas all
week after their Weekend series at
Bisbee. The fact that both teams will
have in full week of practice and will
not be tired from travel will do much
toward speeding up the coming con-
tests
Considering the campaign which the
Ell Paso press and El Paso sportsmen
put on to insure a good gate during
the series at Ell Paso in an effort to
help the Douglas Blues out of the hole.
it is hoped by directors of the local
club that the Douglas fans will come
forth with the same kind of support
Kieth Collins, who is holding down
first base since Hal Chase was Grip
pied in an automobile accident near
Silver City, N. NJ, performed creditably
in the last game of the Fort Bayard
series, according to other members of
the team, and during the mid-week
practices he has shown himself to be
a real ball player.
Buck Weaver, whose absence from
the game during the past six weeks,
due to crippled foot, has been be-
moaned by all the fans, will play in
all three games of the coming series,
at his old berth as shortstop. Directors
of the club Wednesday set aside all
doubt regarding Bucks appearance in
the lineup Friday.
