JUDAISM SHOCKED.
CHRIST DEFINED. NEW YORK RABBI’S STATEMENT. Received December 28, 10.30 a.m NEW YORK Dec. 27. Rabbi Stephen Wise, New York’s Jewish leader, shook Judaism to its foundations this - week, when lie declared that Jesus was a great moral and ethical leader. So sharp was the criticism of Rabbi Wise from all corners of America that he offered to resign the chairmanship of the United Palestine Relief Fund. Wealthy Jewish friends rallied to his side, but that failed l to stem the tide of discussion and the Jewish communities in many cities are sharply divided as to what stand they should take. Rabbi Gimp, of Providence, agrees with Rabbi Wise that Christ is not a myth but an ethical light, which Judaism gave to the world.—Sydney Sun cable.
