Is there any historical evidence in
existence that either Jesus or St Paul
actually lived as outlined in the New
Testament. Please state briefly your
opinion Of the book called Christ
Myth" by Prof. Drews. which caused
some discussion through Europe
about 10 or IL years ago.
Answer-The references to Jesus in
the works of Roman and Jewish his.
torians of the first century are very
few indeed. Josephus, the Jewish his
tortan, in the eighteenth and twentieth
book of his well known work, Jewish
Antiquities" mentions the name of
Jesus twice. A few modern scholars
regard these references as later inter
polations by Christian writer's, but the
Majority, while asserting that some
things have been added, claim that the
reference to Jesus is genuine Pliny
the Roman historian. in a letter to
Ira jan in 10 AID. refers to Christ
and His followers, and Tacitus. in his
+ Annals" xv.44, says that the Chris.
tians received their name from Christ,
who was condemned to death by the
procurator, Pontius PLATE.
st. Paurs bona flde letters in the
New Testament are the best evidence
of His existence. To them must be
added, however, the witness of the
Acts of the Apostles and of the Sec
! ond Epistle of Peter.
Arthur Drews belongs to that CO.
terie which holds that Christ was a
mythical figure and his cult a pre-
Christian one with which were blended
some elements of astral worship
DIR. Joseph Klausner. a learned Jew
ish author, in his recent study of
Jesus Of Nazareth" asserts that
every step that Jesus took, every
thing He did, every word He spoke,
! recall to us chiefly by confirmation,
though sometimes by contradiction,
the Palestine of His time and of CO.
temporary Jewish life and Pharisaic
teaching.
The shadowy figure which DreWs
portrays is a totally inadequate cause
for the great movements that sprang
from Chrfst's life and ministry. This
writer insists that religion must be
purged of all references to Jesus if it
is to be pure and efficient, an asser-
tiCn which is it's own refutation.

The Crush.

Adolescent girls and boys are likely
whom they come In daily contact and
about whom there is a halo of mys-

adores a teacher and the boy is likely
TO worship at the feet of a matronly

The crush will do no harm as long

ing person and uses his power for
the development Of the child who has
turned the full power Of young af
lection toward him. Unless the older
side Of the attachment is healthy and
nane and possessed of a sense Of hui
NOR. the crush is likely to end in
disbursement and sorrow for the
Younger one.
When you discover the symptoms
Bf a crush, keep your tongue still and
use your ears. Listen and hear what
