When foretold would rise tomorrow- “hrist again He took that after upon himself the obligation of so safe-guarding from attack such an astounding event that it would with- stand the acid test of assaults of human reason and human criticism for all time. No such a thing human . genius in all hisiory had ever dared No human ieader of thought or action ever appealed with such reckless abandonment to the judgment of the human ieason for the verification or the repudiation of His whole life and teaching He cast the hope of the worid into the balanc the boldest “After three days I shail rise again.” The fulfillment of that challenge would revolu- tionize civilization, the failure of it would brand Christ the greatest imposter of history ‘To make sure there would be no chance for human deception about the death of this person who claimed to be God, His enemies made certain His death. His enemies made sure, too, about His burial and when His torn and mangled body was sately laid away in the rock hewn tomb they put an official seal on it and set a guard of soldiers to watch it. The fact of the resurrection of Christ was attested to first by His worst enemies, the men who Kkilled Him. They saw Him come forth from Thea, by His close friends, then by more than five hund.ed pecple to whom He revealed Himself The startling fulfillment of His chal- lenge so took hold of the whole world that it shook the empire of the Caesars to the very foundations and turned over the whole civilization of the world, He- brew, African, Roman, Grecian, to the sweet influence of the gentle God-man teacher from Galilee. ‘Tomorrow, 2000 years later, that influence will show itself in worship by the millions who make up Christendom in the modern civilization, challenge ever ultered to intelligence. the grave. tremendous IT'S YOUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, MR. BUSINESS MAN Monday representatives of the Chamber of Com- merce are coming around to the business men ot Juneau, soliciting their membership dues for 1938. Some, experience teaches, are going to ask “what's the Chamber of Commerce ever done for me? “why should I pay dues in it?” In the first instance, it should be made clear that the Chamber of Commerce does not function for the individual gain of any business man in the com- munity. It is operated for community. While made up of representatives of business in the city, it’s primary aim is to help and sponsor such things for Juneau, the Gastineau Chan- nel vicinity and all of Alaska which will result in ; mutual gain for the Territory, this community and the city. For example, the Chamber sponsored a small boat harbor for Juneau. It did not do so because seme individual or company would get some business out of actual construction of the project, or for any particular boat owner. It launched and followed up the small boat harbor plan because the members of the Chamber realized that such a harbor would not only be a convenience for pleasure small boat owners but that it would encourage the commercial small boat business to and trom Juneau. Scores of small craft which now seek winter quarters where will stay in the city when the harbor is mately completed, and the number increased. This means business to Juneau and to the business houses in it. Not to any one particular business house, but to all of them. It probably should be reiterated, the small boat harbor is at the top of the list of Army Department approved projects and awaits only an appropriation by Congress of $232,000 for its actual construction. The only individual gain the Chamber member gets from the Chamber organization is gain which ccmes from a mutual gain for the whole community, and through mutual gain general business prospers including every individual’s business, while the K city and community makes progress. E “Why should I pay dues in the Chamber?” o Because for the simple reason that if you are a business man in this community you should have b @ voice in directing the activities which will be most | H beneficial to Juneau and to your business. What | and else- ulti- doubtless will be @ : : ¢ i i termined by you and the other business men of N Juneau. The Chamber of Commerce is your clearing ~ ' house. It reflects what the business men of th /¢ community want—what you want. » _ It is easy to criticize the Chamber of Commerce; | "it is easy to criticize any organization. But the place %4 to criticize the organization which represents you s . from within where your voice may be heard, not on| w7 the sidelines as a non-member.

Roosevelt does not correctly represent American cpinion on the subject of refugees from Nazidom. What, says Mr. Goebbels, does Mr. Emith of Middle- town think about it ali? Tt is Smith’s opinion that will decide. The two “Middletown” books by the Lynds are certainly fine enough to merit study in any foreign country. Nevertheless, it is rather a surprise to-hear | Middletown referred to so familiarly by one of the men higher up in Berlin. For us here at home it is a com- monplace to speak of the Middle West as the most representative part of the country. Goebbels revealing the same easy, He knows about Middletown. The answer is that the well-informed German: are always like that. They know a great deal about foreign books and a good deal about what is inside those books, but in the end they really don’t seem to know what it is all about. One can repeat about them the jest about the late Raymond Poincare. His opponents said the Poincare read everything and understood nothing, but Aristide Briand read nothing and understood everything. It was a libel against M. Poincare, but it is often startlingly true about the learned German mind. The trained German mind before the World War knew what the Sumerian housewives of lower Baby- lonia d to cook for dinner 5000 B. C., but that same rman mind did not know how Englishmen and Frenchmen were living and thinking and feeling in A. D. 1914. Hence the painful surprises for Germany in 1914, and the bitter complaints about Germany always being misunderstood. In 1917 the trained German mind probably knew every important name and date and figure in every Amer n book of reference, but it didn’t know anything about America Herr Goebbels no doubt considers himself a very well-informed man on America because he knows about ‘one of our fine books, “Middletown.” So he sarcastically inquires what does Mr. Smith of Middle- town think about refugees from Austria, as distin- guished from Mr. What Herr Gocebbels does not know about America s that when it comes down to a test of American fundamentals, Mr. Roosevelt of Washingion, and Mr. Smith of Middletown, and Mr. Smith of Oliver Street think alike. Nazi statesmen who believe dif- ferently may some day yet be asking in plaintive tones why Mr. Smith of Middletown doesn’t under- stand Germany intimatc touch. Approaching Victory (Cincinnati Enquirer) The military progress of General Franco in Cata- lonia makes it plain that an end of the Spanish war is not far off. The success of the rebel faction will have very large implications not only for Spain but for all of Europe. It represents the triumph of ex- treme conservatism inside Spain and doubtless will restore to power the old ruling class which dominated the country befo.c 1931, But this is not so important to the world as the diplomatic implications. These stem from the fact that General Franco's success is | due to the continued large-scale intervention of Pre- | mier Mussolini, with the support and approval of | Germany. | As it affects Europe generally, therefore, the im- minent victory of Franco's armies is an Italian victory | rather than a Spanish counter-revolution. Spain can hardly become a full-fledged Fascist nation, because the bulk of her people are anti-Fascist and republican when foreign pewers permit them to order their own laffairs. But for the present Spain will be a dictator- hip on Fascist lines and with a strongly pre-Italian | policy. This adds materially to the prestige and | daring and the actual strength of the Fascist bloc in | Europe. | “we did Don’t overlook that when the solicitors come H A P P Y rope were listening in Thurs-| yirthday anniversary, to the- follow o0 often referred to as “spine- sometimes several-hour-long | long established | ' DAILY LESSONS , The Empire ertends congratula- tions and best wishes today, their BIRT H_DAYY, ing: ' M;;m 16 | AERIL 15, Mi% | SUNDAY, APRIL 17, 1938 f DENTISTS 1 | ig! yson indi | Building Mrs. A.
