Macon Baptist Outlines What De
nomination Owes to Jews
MACON, March 9—Rev. Dr. Wil
fiam Russell Owen, pastor of the First
Baptist church, preached last Sunday
night on “What the Baptists Owe the
Jews.” He was heard by a large
congregation.
In other sermons of the serics, Dr.
Owen spoke on .what the Baptists
owe other denominations.
He said in part:
“We who are Gentiles believe that
Jesus is the Messiah of whom the
pealmist sand and pirophets wrote
and the faithful dreamed. He is the
answer to us who are Christians of
the world's hungering quest after the
perfect religion and the fullest revela
tion of Jehovah. |
“But Jadaism is thousands of
years older than Christianity and
Judaism has in it all of the germs
which we believe came full-blossomed
in Christ.
Jehovah Blessed the Jew.
“Abraham was the Father of Is
rael and Jehovah promised to him
that blessing which has made the
Jew the wonder race of the world. |
‘I will bless them. that bless thee;
and in thee shall all the families of
the earth be blessed;’ and still again
did God confirm that strong pledge
to greatness with the added word, ‘I
will make of thee a great nation., Gen
esis 12:2.
“Staggering out from the land of
the Chaldean fireworshippers seek
ing to follow the call of his God the
Father of the Jewish people had
born in his heart a passion to teach
the world the oneness of the eternal
indivisible God and to summon the
races of all the earth into a final unity.
Beaten, blasted and broken by thé
vicissitudes of the homelessness and
slavery and exile; disciplined and tut
orflnd cherished by the most inti
mate friendship and protecorate and
tender care of God Himself this pe
caliar and mighty people wrote the
world its laws on tablets of stone and
carved by the hand of its own Jeho
vah; this people sang for all the ages
to come the world’s sublimest poetry
in the majestic psalms and this peo
ple started Dbencficient streams of
blessings according with - that early
promise by which the world has been
made a fertile field for the worship'
and adoration of the montheistic ideal
of religion ever since their early rise.
In. that golden age of glory when
David sat upon its throne, Israel was
the wonder and ‘admiration of all the
world.
Jew Financed Columbus,
“A Castillian Jew, Louis de Santen
gal, advanced Columbus 17,000 ducats
and persuaded the queen to give him
her support and it has been said “Not
Jewels (of Isabella) but Jews were
the real financial basis for Columbus’
discovery of America’ Afithority
says that Suzanne Fonterosa, a Jew
ess, was the mother of Columbus,
Rodrigo de Trianna, a Jew, first saw
land from Columbus’ ship and Luis.
de Torres, a Jew, was the first to set
foot on American soil.
“Amos Lawrence, of Boston, and
Judah Touro, of New’ Orleans, a Jew,
gave the first money with which was
built the monument of Bunker Hill,
the first shaft of glory to American
valorous deeds. |
Other Tilustrious Jews ~
“In the field of statestanship thel
world owes to .Isracl: Gambetta, the
first president of the republic of
France; Disraeli, the master mind of
English politics for a quarter of a
centuty; in poetry Oeinrich Heine
and Jehuda Halevi, the Spanish poet:
sang their immortal songs; Israel
Zangwell wrote, “The Jewish mission.
will never be over 'till Christians
come to the religion of Christ;” Ra

EXEAAAA A EEEHAEEIEE I IR
INTERESTING MACHINE
FOR SCIENCE DEI"ARTMENT
In chapel Monday morning Mr.
Hall announced that he had bought
some new apparatus for the high
schol labogatory. This addition to our
laboratory equipment, is a Planetar
ian, a small- working model of the
planetary” system. This machine is
so geared that the whole planetary
system is laid out to the student, so
that he may see it in action, and ac
tually see the relative speed of the
planets. This machine is a valuable
addition to the laboratory equipment.
It has not'yet been decided just how
this machine is to be paid for, but the
faculty is discussing the plan for put
ting on a high school play sometime
before the end of school.

The judges on the occasion were
three of the ministers of our city:
Messrs S, A. ‘Strawn, R. M. Mann
and I. P. Tyson.
After a debate, which wms astonish
ing, in the amount of information
brought out by the students who had
been given so short a time in prepar
ation, on the subject, which was one
of the hardest ever selected in the
Georgia high school debates, the
judges retired to make their decision.
The judges decided upon the follow
ing students, as being the best fitted
to represent us against Cordele and
Ashburn: Dorothy McPhail, Ralph
Russell, Will Ed Smith, Ranald Burke
Sensible Mr. Dubwaite,
“Did you ever come in unexpectedly
and find your office boy reclining in
your easy chair, with his feet propped
up on your desk?” *“Oh, yes,” replied
Mr. Dubwaite. “And what did you
do?” “I registered a mental vow that

All three of the judges expressed
their surprise and appreciation of the
debates of the evening, which were
some of the best ever presented in the
high school for a preliminary debate
of this nature.
The students have had but a short
time to prepare these speeches, but
thea mount of information which was
seemingly. dug from the earth, was
‘astonishng. All of the ten students
‘made an unusually fine showing, and
showed a great deal of interest in the
event.
We can rest assured that Fitz-Hi
will be well represented in the coming
debates with Ashburn and Cordele,
probably on March 18.
