Danny Thomas and Indianapolis businessman Michael Tamer, who in the late 1950's was president of the Midwest Federation of Syrian Lebanese American Clubs, formed ALSAC in 1957 specifically to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
While St. Jude's researchers, physicians and fund-raisers are justifiably proud of their work, it is the young people there—the patients—whose work each day is truly the hardest.
Indeed, the children of St. Jude, thousands of whom are now "alumni" living around the world, are the bearers of a hope that did not exist four decades ago, a fiercely courageous hope that inspires, unifies and endures to bring out the best in whomever it touches.

 Thomas Hardy : Jude the Obscure : Chapter IX
Having, like Jude, made rather a hasty toilet to catch the train, Arabella looked a little frowsy, and her face was very far from possessing the animation which had characterized it at the bar the night before.
Jude watched her disappear in the direction of the hotel, and entered the railway station close by.
But Jude was far from seeing or criticizing these things; they were hidden by an indescribable consciousness of Arabella's midnight contiguity, a sense of degradation at his revived experiences with her, of her appearance as she lay asleep at dawn, which set upon his motionless face a look as of one accurst.

With her usual carelessness she had postponed writing to Jude about him till the eve of his landing, when she could absolutely postpone no longer, though she had known for weeks of his approaching arrival, and had, as she truly said, visited Aldbrickham mainly to reveal the boy's existence and his near home-coming to Jude.
Jude had just retired to bed, and Sue was about to enter her chamber adjoining when she heard the knock and came down.
Jude lifted the boy to a level with himself, keenly regarded him with gloomy tenderness, and telling him he would have been met if they had known of his coming so soon, set him provisionally in a chair whilst he went to look for Sue, whose supersensitiveness was disturbed, as he knew.

 Thomas, brother of Jesus ? (Matrix Forum)
Jude Thomas was supposed to be the hidden twin brother of Jesus.
The reason Jude Thomas could not have been Jesus' twin is that this would make Jude another 'Son Of God' and therefore there would have to be a fourth hypostasis (person of the trinity) (maybe you wish to assert that this is the case but I doubt it).
Jude being or not the twin brother of Jesus is not important, what matters is to know wich signification the brothers gave to that allusion.

(5) Jude next seeks fulfillment with Sue; but he is frustrated by her sexual reticence and her unwillingness to marry which brings upon them such social disapproval that they are driven to wandering from town to town.
In some places in Jude, Hardy adopted a style in which he attempted to intensify the expression of feeling and attitude by exaggeration, simplification and distortion--in short, by the use of devices which are among the distinctive elements of certain kinds of 'expressionist' art.
In Jude's deathbed scene, for example, Hardy set Jude's dying words against the background of the cries of the Remembrance Week crowd--a strategy reminiscent of Flaubert's device of having Rodolphe's seduction of Emma Bovary take place against the backdrop of speeches at an agricultural fair.

 Gospel of Thomas Saying 0 - GospelThomas.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The reputed (and possibly actual) author of the Gospel of Thomas was Judas, the twin brother of the "living Jesus" if not that of the "risen Christ." The name "Didymus Judas Thomas" -- "Twin Judas Twin" -- describing the receiver emphatically refers to that blood brother.
As for the threefold name Didymus Judas Thomas, Didymus is the Greek word for 'twin' and is used in the Gospel of John (11.16; 20.24; 21.2) to explain Thomas, which is the Aramaic word for 'twin' (t'oma).
In Gnostic circles it was used of books the contents of which were too sacred to be divulged to the common herd, and it was in fact the heretical associations which it thus came to possess which led to its use as a term of disparagement.

 Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy
Upon its first appearance in 1895, Thomas Hardy’s Jude the Obscure shocked Victorian critics and readers with a frank depiction of sexuality and an unbridled indictment of the institutions of marriage, education, and religion, reportedly causing one Angli-can bishop to order the book publicly burned.
Rich in symbolism, Jude the Obscure is the story of Jude Fawley and his struggle to rise from his station as a poor Wessex stonemason to that of a scholar at Christminster.
It is also the story of Jude’s ill-fated relationship with his cousin Sue Bridehead, and the ultimate tragedy that causes Jude’s undoing and Sue’s transformation.
