Lesson for October s, 1858

THE FIRST three books of the
L New Testament were not the
first to be written. Earlier thant
these gospels are the letters of
Paul. If it had been left to him,
there would have been no gospels,

The Hope

In his empire, and so to speak
underneath it, subjects but not
citizens, lived the Jews. Most of
them then, as now, lived outside
of Palestine. But all Jews to some
extent, and the Jews of Palestine
intensely, looked forward to a New
Age, a time when God would Ere
deem his people" as they put it;
that is, when God would not only
"restore the kingdom" to Israel
but would make Jerusalem the
center and capital of the whole
world, in an age where all the
best dreams and hopes of the
prophets for an age of righteous
ness and justice and peace would
come true.
Center of this hope was the
Messiah" or Christ" 1.-TWO words
meaning the same thing), who in
some way-they were not clear
Just how-would start that New
Age and be it's emperor forever.

The gospels tell the story of the
man whose neighbors called him
Jesus, and whose most intimate
friends, under strict secrecy, called
him Messiah. The general public,
the Jews at large kept dinging at
him to say whether he was, or was
not, the Messiah, but he kept
public silence on that point almost
to the end. You might say that the
gospels are the story of the real
Messiah came to the very people
who were looking for him, but
came in a way that shocked them
into violent opposition and even
hatred. All three "synoptic" gos-
pels, Matthew, Mark and Luke,
tell the story in much the same
way; John has his own different
way. Many characters come on
and off the stage, and they are real
enough; but the center, as was
said, is always Jesus. In these
stories he comes alive as a his
torical Person. Across the CEN
turtles the question comes to mod
ern as to ancient man: Here is
Jesus: are you for him or against
him?

Where did he live, and how? Who
were his friends and his enemies?
What did he do or say that made
some people hate him enough to
kill him? What did he do or say
that made other men believe he
was the Son of God?
The first three gospels were all
written to answer such questions.
It is these gospels that will be the
source-material for the lessons
used by the eighty-plus denomina-
tions using the international"
lessons. They will be studying the
One in whom we all are one.

The World

The spotlight OF interest in
the gospels is, of course, Jesus
himself. The gospel writers do not
include long chapters on historical
background, as we might wish
they did; for the first readers
knew the background very well,
they were part of it. Luke, how
ever, piles a lot of proper names
into his third chapter, as if it
were anchoring the gospel story
in the general story of history,
the story of mankind. The gospels
are about real person who lived
in a real world. You could have
followed him around with a movie
camera. The time of Christ was
not the "once upon time" of fairy
tales. He was a contemporary of
certain Roman and Greek officials

Their Fight For Freedom

on the heavy Royal Face in
timated his inability to take
the oath by reason of his re-
ligious beliefs. The Prime
Minister, Lord John Russell,
pleaded eloquently that the
House should remove the
civil and religious disabilities
affecting Her Majesty's Jew
ish subjects"
The Peers however aroused
by an act of Parlia m e n t
which might, according to
one of them, "dechristianiZe
the legislature" rejected the
bill in an exceptionally full
House of Lords.
The following year Roths-
child presented himself anew
and once again the electors
of the City of London re-
turned him, but this time
they were unwilling to sub
NIT to a virtual disenfran-
chisement and instructed Lilo
mel de Rothschild to vigorous
ly demand the rights which
the Lords withheld. Once
again the Peers refused.
After ten long years of
fighting in 1857 Lionel de
Rothschild who had never
taken possession of his seat,
presented himself before his
electors and was reelected by
a large majority. In the face
of the stubborn will of the
capital of the country to re-
turn the man best suited to
represent it, Commons and
Lords had to reach a compro-
mise and the accepted solu-
ton was that each House
would hence forth decide in
what form the oath should be
administered.
On a warm Monday, July
26, 1853, Lionel de Rothschild,
escorted by his faithful
friends and sponsors Lord
John Russell and John Abel

JDC Aids Nearly

NEW YORK (JTA) - The
Joint Distribution Committee
provided assistance in 1857 to
1875, ,490 needy Jews in Israel,
Europe and the Moslem
world, including thousands of
refugees from Egypt, Hun
gary, Poland and other coun-
tries, the JDC reported. Near
ly 100000 were Jews from
Moslem countries.
In a foreWord to the report,
Moses A. Leavitt, JDC eXecu-
tive vice chairman, noted that
while during the two or
three years ending in 1856,
JDS had been dealing mainly
with the settled population, in
1857 nearly 16 percent Of the
beneficiaries from JDC actiVi-
ties were transients; that is,
new victims of persecution or
those in search of new homes
in more hospitable lands than
the countries of their resi-
dence."

LONDON (JTA) - Five
thousand seven hundred and
eighteen was the "anniver-
sary year" for the 100000
Jews of Great Britain, the
year which marked the cen
tenary of their political
emancipation and the tenth
anniversary of the State of
Israel.
This year 19 Jews sat in
the House of Commons and
13 in the House of Lords;
Lord Mayors of the Jewish
faith directed the municipal
affairs of cities like Glasgow,
Bradford and Hull. Jews elect
ed and were elected into Brit
tain's highest political offices
and yet only 100 years ago,
Englishmen who refused to
take the oath of office on
"The True Faith of a Chris
tian," were barred from the
worlds oldest parliament.
On June 2 of this year
political leaders, members of
Parliament and simple citi-
ZenS, Jews and non-JeWS
alike, assembled in the mod
est hall of the London Jewish
