THE PETAL PAPER

cult to get Jewish people to at
tend Christian church service.
When the large Baptist Church
erected its new million-dollar
building, our congregation, as a
gesture of goodwill, presented a
library of Judaica encyclo-
pedias, history, religion, philos-
ophy - to the Christian congre-
cation. Our Jewish membership
Joined with their neighbors in a
Wednesday night prayer-meeting
service, when the formal presen-
tation took place. This gift fol-
lows local pattern. Our Jewish
people have presented similar
collections of books to Mississippi
Southern College, to William Ca
rey College, and to the Lauren
Rogers Library and Museum.
The program of our Sisterhood
during Brotherhood Week consist
ed of a Pilgrimage by the Jewish
women, to the Catholic, Episcopal
and Baptist churches in town. The
ministers of the respective con-
gregations met with the visitors
and explained the traditions and
principles of their respective re-
ligions.
The Rabbi was invited to adj
dress a Catholic group. Quoting
her priest, the spokesman said:
Father NJ told us that what
ever the Rabbi will teach you will
never hurt you" The Catholics
recalled that B'nai Israel Con-
gregation had said Kaddish for
the late Holy Father, and that
the Rabbi and the Catholic Bish-
op were intimate friends.
At the meeting with the Cath
Ollie group, the Rabbi set forth
the fundamentals of Judaism. He
described what the mother and
daughter religions have in COM
mon, and where in they differ.
Dealing with the Holy Scriptures,
he mentioned that the Apocrypha,
which was bound separately in
small volume by Protestants and
Jews, was included in the Cath
Ole canon. II do not happen to
own a Catholic Bible If I did, I
could show you that the Book of
the Maccabees, from which our
Chanukah holiday is derived, is
to be found in these sacred writ
ings. Now one of the Rabbits priz-
ed possessions is a handsome copy
of the Catholic Bible, presented
by the Confraternity of Christian
Doctrine, Sacred Heart Parish,
Hattiesburg.

Credit for Success

Early Wynn needed light

the credit to Mel Harder. pitch
ing coach Of the Indians.

reer." Wynn said today after

umph over the Tigers. Apa-
ricio's clout broke a 3-3 tie in
the seventh inning.
"This was q big goal. but I
never thought I'd make it until
/ went to Cleveland and joined
up with Harder on a first
division team.
Harder taught me the fun
damentals Of the curve and
slider. He prolonged my career
maybe eight years by teaching
me a real good curve"
The 39-year-old veteran won
his first game in 1871 for the
Senators. He pitched for them
until l949, when he was traded
to Cleveland.
Wynn posted 1853 victories in
nine seasons with the Indians.
Four times he was a 20-game
winner. helping them to a PEN
nant in 1854. He was traded
to the White Sox before the

Chuck was slated to start to-
