TICE LIVIRPOOL StiNDARD6 ANNIVERSARY MEETING OF THE SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIANITY AMONGST THE JEWS. The usual anniversary meeting for promoting the spread of Christianity amongst the Jews was held last night in the lecture-room of the Collegiate Institution. The room was deusely crowded by a highly-respectable and attentive auditory. Amongst those on the platform we observed the following :—The Lord Bishop of Chester, the Most Noble the Marquis of Blandford. the Revs. J. Jones, W. Rawson, Dr. M•Neile, E. Bickersteth, J. Bickersteth, R. Davies, T. Nolan, W. W. Embank, F. Parry, F. Barker, J. Cordeaux, Dr. Hume, H. Jones, D. D. Stewart, Hughes, J. J. Reynolds, A. M'Conkey, Cowan, H. Hampton, W. Pollock, J. W. Warr, W.

The Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Chester pre sided. In opening the proceedings, his LORDSHIP ob served :—T am sure it will be your wish, my christian friends, that we shall commence our proceedings this evening, as has been the custom upon all former occa. sion. by first invoking and inviting the blessing of Al mighty God upon our efforts in this rood work. The meeting was then opened with suitable devotiona 1 exercises ; after which, The Right Rev, PRELATE rose and said :—My Chris tian friends, the purpose for which we have met this even ing, is in order to testify the interest which we take in the Society for promoting Christianity amongst the Jews. The history of this people is unparallellecl amongst the nations of the world. We now see them in this our day, in their fallen state of ejection from God's grace, and spi ritual degradation. But how different is their present from their ancient condition, when they were God's chosen people, when in the early ages tile patriarchs were honoured with the special revelation of his will ; when they were honoured with the privileges of His covenant ; and when in the course of time He led, through the mission of Moses, His chosen people from the land of Egypt, leading them safely through that trial by the power of His protecting hand : or when, at a still later period, we find that David's reign was one of victory, and, still further on, we find that Solomon's was one continued reign of prosperity, or, as time rolled on, when that long line of prophets was raised up, in succession, to prepare the nation for the advent of the Messiah ; but from this state, alas, they have fallen, by their own blindness and perversity in rejecting the Messiah When, in the fulness of time, he came amongst them. "He came unto his own and his own received him not." For this they were cast off and rejected ; their city burned and desolated ; their temple laid in ruins; themselves scattered over the earth, dispersed amongst all nations, although merged in none, —blending with none, bet still preserving their national character and identity, thus unconsciously and unintentionally hearing the strongest testimony to the full truth of the . Gospel of the Saviour. But another change in their destiny awaits them. As their past history once was full of glory so their future prospects are radiant and bright with hope, for the Saviour assures us that the time will come when both the fallen Gentiles and the people of Israel shall be added to the Kingdom of God, and when all who trust in Itis name shall become partakers of His blessings. Whether that glorious consummation be far distant or near at hand it is as certain as God's Word, which never fails. (Hear, hear.) We are assembled here this evening in the hope that by a demonstration of our zeal, and by the exercise of a little Christian liberality we may be made the bumble instruments in God's hand of ,ccomplishing the great and good work which we are met this night to advance. (Applause.) There are around me several gentlemen who have kindly undertaken to address you on this subject, and who will be called upon in the regular order for that purpose. I am sure that they will all receive from you that cordial welcome which is due to such Icing tried friends of every good, noble, and sacred object which can animate the Christian mind. (Applause.) There is on this occasion some explanation to be offered to you upon the change which has taken place in the making out of the annual report of the affairs of this branch of the society. The secretary will give you whatever explanation on this subject will be necessary, as I do not feel myself able to do. After that has been done, I will call upon those respected, talented, and Christian friends who are to address the meeting, to do so. His lordship then resumed his seat , amid loud applause. The Rev. T. NOLAN then explained that the absence of a report on the present occasion was owing to the fact that their report had been made out in April last, and for warded to the Parent Society in April last, so that it might be presented to the usual annual meeting of the Parent Society. (Hear, hear.) The Marquis of BLANDFORD (eldest son of the Duke of Marlborough) was then introduced to the meeting. He said that having been requested by their secretary to offer a few words on the subject of their present meeting, as being joined heart and hand with the operations of the parent society in London, it gave him great and unfeigned pleasure to accede to the request. It afforded him a happy opportunity of giving his testimony in favour of the great zeal which had always been displayed in the cause of Christianity by this Society. (Applause.) He believed that this was one of the most useful of all the Christianiz ing missionary institutions in England. They must never forget that it was the great command of Christ to the apostles to go and preach the gospel to all nations, be ginning at Jerusalem. He believed that they shauld ask the Jews first to become servants of that Messiah whom they had previously neglected ; and if they heeded not the call, it was their duty to preach the word to the Gentiles. Was it not true that the Jews were the ancient people of God, and that in ancient times they were the channel which He made use of in communicating His Divine commands. But, although they were cast off for their unbelief in Christ, yet it was their duty to endeavour to bring them back to the truths which they had before rejected. (Hear, hear, and loud applause.) lie could not but look upon the state of the Jewish nation as a barometer of political events. When I read in Scripture that God divided the nations of the earth, He set bounds to each of their people, Ho did so accord ing to the twelve tribes of Israel. (Hear, hear.) It was their duty to look forward to and hope for the time when He would restore them again to their ancient glory and their ancient privileges. (Hear, hear.) He was glad of this opportunity of addressing them, and of bearing his testimony to the good effects of their zealous co-opera tion with the Parent Society. (Cheers.) The Rev. Dr. M`Netas then rose, and was received with many expressions of approval by the meeting. He spoke as follows :—My Lard,—ln rising to comply with the request of the committee and take part in the proceedings of this meeting, I feel afresh and strongly, what I have often felt before, that it is necessary to distinguish between the immediate object which our Jews' Society has in view, and what may be called the Jewish subject as set forth in the Word of God. The object of our society is simply missionary. It is to promote Christianity amongst the Jews, by means suitable to the circumstances and state of mind in which Jews are found : just as our missionary societies have for their object to promote Christianity amongst the 'Heathen by suitable means. But the Jewish subject, as it is presented to us in Holy Scripture, is very comprehensive ; and cordial co• operation in a Jewish mission may be, as in point of fact it has been, greatly increased and stimulated, by the scriptural instruction and animating interest derived from other features of the Jew ish subject. Your lordship is well aware of the effect produced upon the human mind by amplification, and how popular and practical the discursive faculty is. How fre quently and gladly have we witnessed the kindling interest in missions to the Heathen produced by amplifications from Hindoo Shasters or Braminical traditions ; and how much more may we expect an interest of even a more sacred character to be awakened in a Jewish mission by amplifications from the Books of Moses and the Prophets. The Jewish subject, in its Catholicity, may, I think, be both clearly and adequately divided into four branches : It is a ippical subject, an historical subject, a missionary subject, and a prophetical subject. With your lordship's permission, I will offer a few remarks upon each of these. It is a typical subject. Jesus said to the Jews around him, " If ye believed Moses ye would have believed me , for he wrote of tne." It is undeniable from this that Moses wrote of Christ; but it is equally undeniable, from an examination of his writings, that he no where wrote of Christ by name. It follows, therefore, that he must have written of him under some other name or names. He did so. He wrote of the Paschal Lamb, and St: Paul wrote " Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us." He wrote of the first fruits of the Jewish harvest, and St. Paul wrote, " Christ is risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept." He wrote of the rock which followed Israel in the wilderness, and St. Paul wrote, " That rock was Christ." These are samples of the typical character of ancient Judaism in every part. It was all constructed after a pattern which was exhibited to Moses in the mount. His especial attention was called to this, and " look" said God to him, " that thou make all after the pattern which I show thee." The great ori ginal was in the divine mind, the eternal purpose of redeeming mercy which Jehovah purposed in His coequal son, to his own glory. This embraced the Gospel, and the pattern after which Moses was commanded to construct the tabernacle in all its parts, and conduct its services in all their details, was a significant model. The light, the bread, the golden altar, the vial, the mercy seat, the High Priest going in and coming out again, the slain goat and the scope goat, the bird killed, and the living bird dipped in the blood and let loose into the open field—these, with all their sacred accompaniments, composed the Gospel according to Moses. Bearing this in mind, we do not wonder to find St. Paul saying to Timothy, concerning the Old Testament Scriptures, that they were able to make him wise unto salvation through faith that is in Christ Jesus. True, indeed, all this was temporary, and has been long since abroeated, as to actual practice, in divine worship. Still, it is most valuable to us. In one point of view, indeed, it is indispensable, if we would be thoroughly furnished for the defence and preservation of Christian truth in its primitive purity. The New Testa ment is short. The fundamental truths of the Gospel ar expressed in it briefly and in general terms. This, per. haps, was necessary for its ready and universal circulation. Butgeneralternas are liable to be drawn aside and perverted by the weakness or wilfulness,the infirmity or ingenuity, of fallen man. We know how this has been done, and what strange, absurd, and even contradictory opinions have, in all ages of the Church, been advanced, ea c h c l a i m i n g the New Testament as its basis. How important it is then to have a rectifier of interpretations, an inspired standard of reference in which we can place confidence, and by • which we can distinguish between what is, and what is I.t . s. d._ 1837 183 f 1839 74 3 4 } 184 C 1841 1842, • 1812 1841 .16 s. d.l s. d. 176 14 3 128 14 3 251 18 10 115 14 8 125 6 0 102 15 1 173 0 0 82 14 2 174 0 0 78 .3 4 147 4 2 65 15 10 99 IS 4 44 8 4 62 6 8 27 13 4 .€ s. d. 21 7 2 18 12 8 16 2 9 12 14 11 12 3 0 10 2 4 6 15 11 4 4 0 s. d. 593 6 8 1543 17 9 ,494 810 1445 0 0 395 11 1 '346 2 3 296 13 4 247 4 5 Prospectuses, with Tables of Rates, &c., may be had at the Office, or any of its Branches in the Country : or on applica tion, will be forwarded post free.

Tne royal mail steam-ship America, Captain Harrison, arrived at this port, on Sunday eight, with accounts from Boston to the 10th instant, and Halifax to the 12th. She brought ninety passengers. The Canada arrived at New York on the 4th instant, after a splendid run of 114 days hence. The Herrman, steam-ship, reached New York on the 6th, having left Southampton two days before the Canada left Liverpool. The Caledonia arrived at Halifax on the 11th, and pro ceeded to Boston. The packet-ship Columbus, Captain Bunker, arrived at New York on the Bth inst., having had thirty-six deaths among the passengers from cholera. The political news is of very little interest. The Presi dent was about to visit New York. It is stated that there exists division of opinion in the Cabinet on the Naviga tion system question. There was an active demand for sterling exchange for the steamer, and drawers were firm at outside quotations ; 94 to 101 for leading bills. In freights more was offering. Cotton 3s and 75c per bale. Flour, in British bottoms, 18d. In cotton there was a fair amount of saler. On the day previous to the steamer sailing the market opened firm, but holders being pretty free sellers, it closed without animation. Sales per day 2,000 to 3,000, a large portion on speculation ; but a rair demand for export. Stock limited. Mid. fair to fair Orleans 115 to 111 ; for good middling, 104 to 104; good fair, 125 to 13. The receipts since the Ist of September were 3,619 bales, against 72,412 bales the same time last year. The stock on hand is 32,220 bales, against 66,796 bales last year. There was a fair demand for flour. The market towards the close of the Bth inst. exhibited less buoyancy, and prices were heavy. Corn was in fair demand, with pretty tree sales, common being more plentiful was somewhat easier to buy. We quote thur western at 3 dols. The. to 4 dols.: com mon state and mixed western, 4 dols. 51c. to 4dols. 94e. ; pure Genessee told southern Ohio, sdols. 25c. to sdols. 44c,, DESTRUCTIVE STORM.—During the night of the 6th instant, a dreadful hurricane visited New York. Several of the shipping were in jeopardy, but luckily escaped any severe injury. A new brick house, five stories high, and just finished, at the corner of Eleventh-street, was blown down, as was another at the corner of Twenty-eighth Street. The new Presbyterian church, corner of Twenty ninth Street, which was nearly completed, was also de molished, and is now a melancholy wreck. The Diorama in Eighth-street, opposite the Astor-place Theatre, was shattered to pieces, and the pictures either destroyed or greatly injured. In Washington-square, in the Park, and a great number of streets, trees were prostrated. There were no lives lost, though several persons were seriously injured by the falling timbers. The same storm swept over the city of Boston, and there one of the walls of the brick Universalist chapel fell with a tremendous crash. Several vessels were very much damaged. New Orleans accounts of the 7th instant state that the weather had become cold. The demand for cotton since the receipt of the Canada's advices was limited ; sales during week, 5,700 bales; easier prices. Quotations; good mid. 104. to 135, good fair 125 to 13. Receipts since Ist September 3,619 bales, against 72,412 last year_ Stock 37,220, against 66,796. Freights at New Orleans were quoted thus : 1,200 bales cotton had been engaged to Havre at 4 cents ; and two ships to load for Liverpool at 7-16 d. A slight injury bad occurred to one of the city levees. The men lately gathered at Round-island are rapidly dispersing—their intended expedition to Cuba, or some where else having been either frustrated or postponed. EMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES.--AD idea of the number of emigrants that have reached this city this year, may be formed from the fact, for which we are in debted to Major Frazer, that between the first of April and the first of October this year, the number of arrivals averaged eight hundred and ninety-six per day, or a frac tion over thirty-three per hour. This is an increase of about thirty-five thousand on the number of arrivals dur ing the same period last year.—New York Herald, Oc tober 9. DISASTROUS 'SHIPWRECK. —Durin EZ the dreadful -storm which occurred at Boston on the 9th inst, the British brig St. John dragged her anchors, and struck on the Grampus rocks. "The vessel soon went to pieces. The captain, officers, and crew took to the boat and landed safely, but the majority of the passengers were drowned, the number of whom is variously given at 114 and 150. Only about fourteen of these reached the shore in safety, having floated on pieces of the wreck. It appears proba ble that about one hundred lives were lost. Some anxiety was felt about the packet-ship Washington Irving, but it appears that that vessel got a good offing before the gale came on. Several other vessels drifted ashore, but it isex pected that they will be got of with little damage. 'CALIFORNIA. — The Palcon had arrived at New Orleans, for Chagres, Ist October, with 70,000 dollars, and San Francisco dates of Ist September. The steamer Panama brought 500,000 dollars in gold dust, and 150 passengers. She arrived at Panama on the 22nd instant, The Isthmus of Panama was quite healthy. The road from Chagres to the Pacific coast had been much improved. A letter from San Francisco states that a constitution will be formed, and members of a legislature be elected under it by the Ist of November. A letter from Rome, of the 11th inst., states that the Pope is expected to return in the first week in November. A NEW CHURCH AT CAPE CLEAR.—Last week new Church in connexion with the establishment was opened at this almost uncivilized spot. The morning prayer was read in Irish by the Rev. Edward Spring, the Psalms and Lessons by the Rev. James Freke ; the Litany, in Irish, by the Rev. W. M. Crosthwaite (for merly vicar of Clear); the Communion Service, in Irish, by the Rev. Thomas Moriarty ; the Epistles, as also sub sequently the prayer for the whole Church Militant, by the Venerable the Archdeacon. After singing in Irish a portion of the 135th Psalm, the Rev. Thomas Moriarty delivered an impressive sermon, first in Irish and after wards in English, from the concluding verses of St. Ma tbew's Gospel, in which he alluded forcibly to the striking and interesting circumstances under which they were assembled to preach the faith once delivered tit the saints, and to proclaim the same truth as it is in Jesus which had already in ages past been preached upon the same shores by Sts. Patrick and Kiern. The congregation amounted to upwards of 150, and the Irish portion joined most fervently in the responses in their own language. Lr.ssoNs.—ln another column will be found the ad vertisement of Mrs. Goodmane, whose tact for giving instructions is highly spoken of by her pupils. The information thus received secures a respectable and lucra tive business, which will, underany advene circumstances, psceurc a living for life, not, the mind of God. Some persons appeal to tradition, but tradition is too uncertain to give real rest to an in quiring mind. Some appeal to antiquity, but the unin spired writers of antiquity differ from one another as widely as modern writers do. To what then can we appeal with confidence ? I answer, to the gospel in Mosaic, as inlaid by the finger of God.—(Cheers.) Any interpretation of the New Testament which will not bear comparison with this Divine Model, must be so far erroneous.—(Hear , hear.) For example. Some men advocate what they call a reasonable Christianity divested of all mysteries, especially divested of the doctrine of vicarious sacrifice. They can see no reasonable connexionbetween the shedding of blood and the pardon of sin, and therefore they reject what some among them have ventured to call the ghastly dogma from their philosophical religion. Now, instead of replying to them on general principles, or being dis turbed by such arguments, however plausible, we fall bask upon the divine pattern of truth ; and finding there, that " without shedding of blood there' was no remission of sin," we are fortified in the great truth, with all the sober assurance of having the revelation of God on our side. The application of this argument and this test, might be extended to many roost interesting particulars, but I must forbear, and proceed to the next general aspect of the Jewish subject. It is an historical subject. And herein it is not merely an obsolete relict of facts, but an instructive store house of tranferable and unchanging principles. We call it sacred history, not because the events recorded were more immediately under the divine direction than other events : for events in the history of all nations, are equally under the management and guidance of Almighty God ; but it is sacred history to us, because it is accompanied by in spired comments, pointing out the philosophy of the his tory. The language of God by the prophets directs our attention to the principles involved in the narrative, the principles of the divine govern ment under which the facts took place, whether those facts referred directly and ex clusively to the Jews themselves, or whether they included the surrounding nations, by means of whom God carried on his .discipline over the Jews, and manifested his sovereignty over all. In the history of the nations of the earth, the human agents change , one g eneration after another of mankind passeth away, but the divine agent chanzeth not. He is the same yesterday semi to day, for ever ; and the principles of his moral government are like himself. The same righteousness, the same long suffering patience, the same merciful and loving forbearance, the same retribution, which characterise the Divine dealings with the Am-rites and the Assyrians, and the Chaldeans. and the Israelites of old, are at this moment the charac teristics of his dealings with ourselves, and with all the notions around us. Idolatry did, and does, incur his righteous anger, especially where practised by those who possess. but disregard, his revealed truth. It was more in tolerable in Israel than in Sodom. Sabbath breaking (lid, and does, incur his righteous anger, especially when practised by those to whom he has given his holy Sabbaths, to be signs between him and them, whe ther they will obey him.—(Applause.) It was more aggra vating in Capernaum than in Tyre and Sidon. His anger was, and is, manifested by pestilence and by famine, and by wars. Thus, the historical branch of our subject is a glass, in which we and our statesmen, while we read what God has done, may, if we will, read what he is doing, and what he will do. No language can exaggerate the importance of this when attended to, or the awful aggra vation of responsibility incurred by neglecting it. I will not attempt, at present, any illustration of this, or appli cation to facts around us, but proceed to the third general aspect of the Jewish subject. It is a missionary subject. And here we fall in with the direct objects of our society, which is, as I have already noticed, a missionary society. However, our interest may be excited, and our minds en gaged, by the typical and historical branches of the sub iect, it is to the missionary branch that we are invited to put to our hands. The duty i' plain, for the Lord's com mandment is plain. In his commandment to preach the gospel to every creature, the Jews are certainly included ; and on this ground alone, independent of anything pecu liar to them as Jews, they cannot be omitted or neglected in the labours of Christian missions. On this ground alone you might he appealed to, to give your countenance and support to this society ; and if there be any persons who cannot agree in our advocacy of this cause except in this one point, let this one point suffice for unity of action. No man, by joining and co-operating with this society, pledges himself to any special opinions concerning types, or history, or prophecy : he only pledges himself to this, that it is a Christian duty to endeavour to promote Chris tianity amongst the Jews.—(Cheers.) Itis true, indeed, that under this view only, a mission to the Jews will probably be estimated as comparatively insignificant, seeing that while there are hut about six millions of Jews in the work, there are above six hundred millions of heathen. Still, if even so it be, as it may be, and has been, cordially joined, if a man with no other view of the subject than this, co-operate with us. subscribing to the society, col lecting for it, interesting friends in it, speaking for it, and preaching for it, we therein do rejoice, yea and will rejoice. The arty is urgent, because the state of the Jaws is des perate. St. Paul describes their state by that one fearful word—" unbelief," and says that •` wrath is come upon them to the uttermost." How then can we view them in the light of the gospel ? There may be exceptions. There may be persons who are called Jews, but who do not re ject with scorn and cursing the name of Jesus of Naza reth. But looking upon Jews, as Jews, and supposing them to be indeed what they say they are, unbaptised and unbelievers, surely our Lord's language is enough to make our hearts tremble for them, and to engage us heartily in his mission,—" Go," • said he, " and preach the gospel to every creature , and he that elieveth and is baptised, shell be saved." Can this be applied to any Jew ? Is he a believer of the gcspel ? Is he baptised ? The Saviour added, and we dare not with hold it—" He that belicveth not, shall be damned." The duty is primary; because the Saviour, in command. ing the preaching of the gospel among all nations, said, " beginning at Jerusalem" ; and the sacred narrative shews with all distinctness the interpretation which the Apostles, even the Apostle to the Gentiles, put upon that command. The gospel of the circumcision, or the preach ing of the gospel to the Jews, was specially entrusted to St. Peter, as the gospel of the uncircumcision was to St. Paul. On the strength of this division of labour, St. Paul might heve confined his labours to the Gentiles, but he did not do so. On the contrary, wherever he went he preached the Gospel "to the Jew first, and afterwards to the Gentile." When the Jews at Antioch fiercely rejected his message, he said to them,—" it was necessary that the Word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing you put it from you, and judge yourselves un worthy of everlasting life, 10, we turn to the Gentiles." Yet when he left that city, and went to Iconium, he began again with the Jews. So he did at Thessalonica, and at Berea, and at Corinth, and in his hired lodging at Rome. This is precisely the work in which our society is engaged. It goes to the Jew first. It has undertaken ' the gospel of the circumcision," as other societies have undertaken the gospel of the uncircumcision. The agents of this society go the Jews, and reason with them out of their own Scriptures, " opening and alleging," opening the true meaning of Moses and the prophets, and alleging, on their authority, that Messiah, in conformity with what was written of him, must suffer unto death, and rise again from the dead, and that Jesus of Nazareth, whom we preach, is indeed the Messiah. The agents of this society, moreover, have schools, in which the children of Jewish parents are instructed in Christianity, as it is set forth in the articles and formularies of our church. We thus en deavour to promote Christianity amongst the Jews, and in so doing we meet with many very interesting cases. You will, I doubt not, hear of some of these, in their instructive details, from our valued friends who compose the deputation. My lord, I have had many conversations, of most lively interest, with inquiring Jews, both in this town and in London, and the chief objection which they have urged, I hope sincerely, certainly intelligently, was, that so many things predicted concerning Messiah have not been fulfilled in Jesus. They have said to me, " How can we believe that Messiah has come ? Israel is still scatt red. The land of Israel is still in the hands of Gentiles. The kingdom is not restored to Israel. There is no king on the throne of David. There is no priest at Jerusalem." My answer has been in the language of the apostle, "We see not yet all things put under him. We see Jesus made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death," according to the types of the law and the language of the prophets : we see Jesus raised from the dead and crowned with glory and honour in his ascension to heaven, according to the language of the psalmist, and the type of the High Priest going in behind the veil : but we see not yet all things put under him, Remember what Solomon said, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven." Thus it is, my lord, that in the missionary part of our work with the Jews we are from time to time compelled to feel that the Jewish subject is a prophetical subject, and that we cannot, if we would, refrain from the dis cussion. This is the last point on which I designed a few observations, and they shall be brief. It is a prophetical subject. The Jewish history supplies most remarkable examples of the fulfilment of prophecy. The siege and destruction of their city, the dispersion of the people who survived, their scattered conditiqn among the nations, their continued separation from every surround ing element, their preservation as a people without a country, without a king, without a priesthood, without the possibility of exercising their old religion,--these and kindred features in their case to this very day, where compared with the volume of prophecy, constitutes stand ing miracle; and 1 know nothing in the shape of external evidence, at all so arresting and so unrefutable as this, for the truth of revelation. Here again we shall see how the Jewish people, even in their dispersion, are, to the honour and praise of God, for now again, the Christian Church is driven, nod will be more and more desperately driven to contend for the truth of revelation itself; and to whom upon earth can we turn for such evidence of its truth, as to the Jews ? 3ut further, the Jewish history is not finished. All that is written in holy scripture con cerning them is not yet fulfilled. Much of it indeed is fulfilled, and the clearness and precision wherewith a part has come to pass, confirm us in the confident expectation that with like clearness and precision, all the remainder will come to pass. This is eminently true with reference to their king. Much that was pre dicted for Messiah to do, Jesus did; so much and so plainly, that he could appeal to his works, as compared with the prophecies, to prove who he was. In answer to the question, "art. Thou he that should come, or do we look for another ?" He said, " The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them ; and blessed is he whosoever shall not be offended in mc." The disdiples were con vinced. They knew lie was Messiah. They confessed him as such, and he approved of their confession. They consequently and most naturally expected that he would proceed to do other things which had been predicted ; that be would restore the kingdom to Israel, When he was put to death, they were dismayed. What, after all, was he not the Messiah, and had they been deceived ? When he arose from the dead and chewed himself alive to them, their hopes revived. All might now proceed according to toe prophecies. It is evident their patience . was excited, for they then asked him with eagerness, " Wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel ? In reply, he told them, it was not for themeo know the times or seasons; but he left them in expectlimn of the thing it self. He gave no intimation that they were expecting a wrong thing, though he made it sufficiently plain that they were wrong about the time. When he left them. as cending up to heaven, and disappearing from them in the clouds, they were utterly confounded. What ! gone ! and so much still undone, so many prophecies still unfulfilled; Jerusalem a reproach instead of a praise in the earth, and - the throne of David fallen under foreign gentile dominion, instead of being occupied by the long -looked for and plainly predicted King ! Is it possible we have been mis taken ? So much done that we could not doubt he was Messiah ; yet so much undone that now we cannot believel We gaze in astonishment and perplexity. To this painful state of mind it pleased God to give instant relief by the ministration of aneels, who appeared at the moment, and said, "Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven ; this same Jesus whom ye have seen go into hea ven, shall so come, in like manner as ye have seen him go." This was pointedly to the purpose. It admitted that there was much undone which Messiah was to do, and that their astonishment and perplexity would be most reasonable on the supposition that Jesus was gone for ever. But not so. He had accomplished a part of what was predicted of him, and was gone away for a time.. But " for everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven ;" and at the set time he would re turn to accomplish the remainder of what the prophets had spoken and the disciples expected. This was satis factory. The time of his absence is the time of Jewish dispersion and degradation ; the time of his return shall be the time of Jewish restoration and glory. Wh t has been done is an earnest of what shall be done. On this point hear that prince of reasoners, Bishop Butler. In the seventh chapter of his "Analogy," he says : "As several of these events seem in some degree expressly to have verified the prophetic history already: so likellise they may be comidere..l farther, as having a peculiar aspect towards the full completion of it : as affording some presumption that the whole of it shall, one time or other be fulfilled. Thus, that the Jews have been so wonderfully preserved in their long and wide dispersion ; which is indeed the direct fulfilling of some prophecies, but is now mentioned only as looking forward to somewhat yet to come: that religion came forth from Judea and spread, in the degree it has done over the world before lost in idolatry ; which, together with some other things have dis tinguished that very place (Judea) in like manner as the people of it are distinguished : that this great change of religion over the earth was brought about under the profession and-acknow ledgment that Jesus was the promised Messiah : things of this kind naturally turn the thoughts of serious men towards the full completion of the prophetic history concerning the final restoration of that pcop'e, concerning the establishment of the kingdom among them. the kingdom Of Messiah, and the future state of the world under this sacred porernment."—(Applause,). As serious men, our thoughts do indeed turn, and fondly turn, to the establishment of this sacred go vernment, when that happy state of society shall be introduced ; that state of order and peace, and li berty and love, which the heart of man longs for, — which politicians and economists, philosophers and phil anthropists, peace congresses and financial reformers labour after in vain. It shall come when the Lord shall come, and when the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem; for thus runs the sacred oracle in its con vincine and satisfying context :—" They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks : nation shall not lift up a sword against nation ; neither shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree, and none shall make them afraid. In that day, saith the Lord, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted ; and I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation," Her that was cast far of! Who is that ? Can a plainer description be given of the Jewish nation ? " And the Lord shall reign over them in Mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever. And, thou, 0 tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion : the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem." This is the strain in which the Jewish pro phets delight. Whatever mey be the prelude of the song, or from whatever circumstances it may take its rise, whether the conquests of Joshua, the establishment of David, or the glory of Solomon : however soft and plaintive may be the cadences which rest upon Jewish sorrow, or Jewish sin : whatever startling alarm may ac company the sounds of retribution on the nations who have afflicted Zion ;—it is not till the daughter of Jeru salem presents herself to the eye of the seer, arrayed in her beautiful garments. and with her king on the throne of his father David, that the music deepens to all its power.—that the sacred harp is shaken in every string by the inspiring spirit, and the chorus of heavenly harmony, in full diapason, and with voices which cannot be num. bered, raises and prolongs and re-echoes its hallelujahs of final triumph.-(Loud applause.) Thus,fromvarioussources do we derive motive and inducements to engage in Jewish missions; and I would, in conclusion, entreat our as sembled friends, by all the sound instruction in doctrine to be derived from Jewish types; by all the instruction in practice, both public and plivate, to be derived from Jewish history, by the plain, urgent, and primary duty of preaching the Gospel to the Jew first, and by the glory which shall be revealed, but which waits, and must wait, for Jewish restoration, to help us, heart and hand, in this good and blessed and sacred cause. (The reverend gentleman concluded amidst loud end continued applause.) The Rev. Mr. REYNOLDS, secretary to the Parent So - ciety, next addressed the meeting. At cohsiderable length he contended that the Gospel should, according to the command of Christ, be preaChed to all people, but to the Jews first. There was no difference to be observed its preaching the Gospel to the Jews from what should be employed in preaching the Gospel to the Gentiles. He would not refer to the operations cf :the society in Jeru salem, for teat station would be described to them by Dr. M`Gowan, who had himself laboured there. (Cheers.) But he would refer to a few of their other stations. It was gratifying to reflect that in London alone, they had in their chapel, usually, an attendance of from fifty to sixty adults, and sometimes as many as two hundred occasional corners. In their school in Landon, ,they had a daily attendance of one hundred children, be sides a college for the . ' instruction of such Jewish youths as intended to become Missionaries themselves. In Amsterdam they had also an interesting station, where might be seen the utmost goodwill prevailing between Jew and Gentile. Oh ! this was a most refreshing station. In Warsaw they had about 300, who had been baptized in that mission. They had a station for bookbinding there, and in addition to the number stated many more had been instructed in the Christian faith ; and here they had again a beautiful union of Christians, who had come to the knowledge of Christ, being the only " way the truth and the life. The same might be said of the station in Berlin. One of the most striking facts was that Jews. who lived as Jews, as in the duchy of Posen, allowed their children to attend the Christian schools. This was a remarkable fact, for many of these children were led to the knowledge of the Redeemer. In Frankfort, on the Main, you might find Rabbis addressing the Jews in a style which was in strong contrast with the feeling of the a as nci everyenta a J t ey e d w b s et c w o. o h m o c ion b r ag e l e i n e lvooeurdet manifest,o stronglyf it. a They e r d a y d g i kr t e i n o ae n tw , g a ot n oh d v good as tw if the Jews forsook tradition, they would soon come back to the law, as delivered by the Lard to Moses. (After some further observations, the re :. gentleman resumed his seat amid loud applause.) Dr. EDWARD McGowAN, missionary from Jerusalem, next, addressed the meeting. He commenced by giving an interesting account of the character of the Jews located in the city of Jerusalem. These people were quite diffe rent from what we were generally led to believe. In the Holy Land the Jew was looked upon with every species of contempt; and the only reason why he visits that land at all is because he can there perform all his rites and ceremonies, and also because he believes that it' he diet there he will have peculiar privileges after death. Witk that belief there are thousands of Jews who go to the Holy Land. They are more bigoted than the Jews in any portion of the earth. The Jews at Jerusalem consider themselves to be the representatives of the entire Jewish people. They are known as the poor saints of the Holy Land, and they are sup ported solely by the contributions which they receive from their brethren spread over the face of the earth. In this respect he thought that the Christian people of England should take an example from the Jewish people. It should not be said that the Protestant Church should be the only church which was not fully represented at Jerusalem. He should inform them, however, that they had a church in Jerusalem called Christ Church, in which every Sab bath was celebrated the beautiful and soul-elevating ser vice of the Church of England. This church was erected on Mount Zion, and it had this good effect—it enabled the Jews to contrast the pure Gospel of Christ with the spurious and idolatrous mode of worship by which that people were surrounded. (Hear. hear.) They had been enabled, by the accommodation this church afforded, to bring many of the Jews to the house of God, and there present them with the Word of Life, and the Liturgy of:our church, in their own language, for they had got both trans lated into the Hebrew tongue. But even after all this, he wont come to us. And why ? Because he believes 'hat Christians are his enemies. And, unfortunately, history hut too fully bears him out in his idea, that the Christian is his enemy, for lie has been an outcast amongst those woo called themselves Christians in all ages, and yet we were astonished that the Jew did not join us heartily. But it would be their duty to de what they could to era dicate this hostile feeling, by endeavours to op ei the hearts of the Jews, and prove that they were their friends, and were anxious for their salvation. For that purpose they had erected an hospital fur their relief. (Hear, hear.) At first they refused . to come into the hospital, but gradually their fears were removed—for would the meeting believe it, a common report was spree 1 that it was our intention to drag all the Jews into the hospital, cut their beards off, and make Christians of them. The first patient that came to the hospital was a poor girl, .of about fifteen years of age, who was soon cured of a very dangerous disease. But this good feeling was soon inter fered with by the Rabbis, who denounced all who cams; but in spite of all this, the Jews soon found out that the missionaries were their real friends. (Hear, hear, and applause.) This hospital has thirty beds, and in addition there is accommodation for many more at the dispeusary ; in this say we relieve about 3,000 Jews annually, or very little short of one-third of the entire Jewish population. He could tell them much about the antiquities of Jerusalem, but of all its sights the most prominent and affecting of anything to be sees in the Holy City is the poor Jew himself. (Hear, hear.) It is a most affecting sight to see the poor benighted Jew stalking in the city of his fathers—despised, degraded, and impoverished. After descanting on the various his torical reminiscences of the Jewish kingdom, concluded a very interesting speech amidst theapplause of the meeting,. The Rev. W. W. EWBANK was received with muck applause on rising. 110 addressed the meeting nearly as follows :—My Lord, in rising to speak this evening on the conversion of Jews to the faith of Christ, I have the great encountered difficulties in the acquisition of it ; and that satisfaction of knowing, that 1 am about to address this meeting under the presidency of one who is eminently distinguished for that very important Christian virtue— sContieuel an page 8.) sakimaNisota u os °o or ,s O ,, :to., ' ci ' , oc e,,, , to ' ;0" i r o l r ' 4 ti . 1' , /,. 9 O 1
