IC lETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIANITY
AMONGST THE JEWS.

The Liverpool Anxilliary of the London Society for the
promotion of Christianity amorg3t the Jews, held its
thirty-sigh h annual meeting in the Theatre of the Collegiate
Institution, last evening. The attendan se was very numerous.
The chair was occupied by the R.v. Dr. M•lieile ; and
among the other clergymen and gentlemen on the platform
were Reverends W. Rawson, A. A. Isaacs, J. K. Tucker,
Dr. Taylor, J. B Lowe, Dr. Hume, J. D. Hiech, J.
Bardsley, J. J. Butter, S. K. Watt, H. Carpenter, J.
Crump, D. Anderson, H Marlen, D. Barry, T. Tingley,
W. Feilcon, W. H. Wright, M'Alister, H. Lawrence,
T. P. Ball, T. Parry, T. T. Erste. F. Power, H. Woodward,
W. J. Webster, E q. J. K. Rounthwaite, H. Halhead,
T. Payne, H. Evans, &c.
After the meeting had been opened by prayer,
The Rev. CflUilllAN proceeded to address the assembly.
He said here in Liverpool the J9WG resident in the town
were supposed to be about 2,000 in number. In Man-
chester the number was still gre.tter ; and the Jews who
visited those towns in the course of the year, for periods
varying from two days to two weeks, were very numerous
indeed. He believed he was correct in stating that the
Committee of the Parent Sec'ety had in contemplation, o-
at lea' t under consideration, the propriel of establishing a
central mission for those two great towns. The first mission
the ea, liest of all Christian missions, was to the Jews. It was
commenced on the great day of Pentecost. The infant
Christian Church consisted entirely of converted Jews. The
Apostle of the Gentiles, when he expressed his confidence
in the Gospel of Christ, and assigned this as one reason
that he knew it was the power of Go I to salvation to every
one that b4ieveth, "to the Jew first," he added. There
was no exclusion of the Jews—there was no unsurmount-
able hindrance in the.way of the Jews—there was no forget-
fulness of the Jews. On the contrary, as theirm Weary friends
would express it, the Jew was brought "to the front," and
precedence given to them in the preaching cf the gospel
That precedence should never have been withdrawn.
What had the Jews ever done to forfeit iL ? The cause of
the Jews as a people in this time was just similar to what
it was in the time of the Ap st'e They were then just
east off from the favour of their God; they hed stumbled
at the stumbling-stone of the cross. Through their fall
salvation had come to the Gentile. All these things
the Apostle distinc ly asserted, and at the same time he as
distinctly predicted their final and glorious recovery after
the time of the Gentiles, when all Israel shall be
saved. Thu., with their fell before his eyes, as a
fact, and their glorious recovery before his mind as a
prophecy, he still gave them precedence in the preaching
of the Gospel. There was nothing in the history of their
fall to render the preaching of the Gospel at all hopeless,
and there was nothing in the prediction of their recovery
to render the preaching of the Gospel to them unnecessary.
As it was then. so it had continued ever since, and so it was
now Considered as immortal individuals, the Jews were
as other men—fallen sinners, and stood in need of
a Divine Saviour. Their forefathers had rejected, and
generation of er generation they had been taught to
reject, that one only name given under Heaven
amongst men, whereby the sinner shall be restored to joy
and made happy for ever. Thus, in that aspect they were
presented to Christian, and their plain Christian duty
towards them was to love them, top ay for them, to preach
the Gospel to them, and to teach them and their children,
so far as it was practicable, that they had found, and that
they wished them (the Jews) to fled, Him of whom Moses,
in the Law, and the Prophets spoke—Jesus of Nazareth, the
true Messiah. It was in the discharge of that duty that
this society was engaged, and the means adopted by the
society were sisriliar to those adopted by other
Christian institutions. Indeed he might say that the
ciety was very comprehensive in its use of means. It
had a wo k of its own, and, in ins own work, was et.gAged
in a vast variety cf operations. It was a Bible society—
and all the arguments ti,ed in favor r of the circu'ation of
the Bible, might be used in advocacy of this institution.
It was a prayer-book society—it circulated the liturgy of
the Church of England in:Hebrew ; and here, again, by
all ti e affection they entertained for their Church. and
her beautiful service, ho claimed their support for the so-
ciety, as a prayer-book society. It was, moreover, a school
society ; it educated the children of the Jews in London,
and elsewhere. It was a Scripture Reader's Society. It
employed lay assistants with all their central missions ;
and though last, not least, it was a Protestant Society.
(Applause). He was sure they would agree with him that
on that recount, as well as on others, the Society was one
to which he felt weedy attached. (Hear, hear) It main-
tained a high and unmistakeable protest against the use of
images in worship, and all other rites of idolatry— (hear)—
and that was due to the Jews ; for let them just roe ollect the
character of the christianity to which 'he Jews had been
exposed through the greater part of Chistendom Was it
possible for any intelligent people such as they were, bear-
ing regard to their religion and remembering the words
given from God himself in thunder from Mount Sinai—
remembering the language of the Second Commandment,
' Though shalt not make to thyself any graven image,
nor the likeness of anything that is the Heaven above,
or in the earth beneath, or in the water under the
earth ; though shalt not bow down to them nor worship
them, for I the Lord thy God am a Jealous God,
was it possible for intelligent people having
those words in their haul's, and paying any regard to them
as revelations from Heaven to see what they had seen,
through parts of Christendom. without being disgusted by
the very name of Christianity ? (Hear, hear) For what
had they seen ? They had seen the worship of Mary, as
unequivocal, as open, as 'barefaced idolatry as ev r the
worship of D ana among the Ephesians. (Hear, hear.)
It was due to them to show them Christianity divested of
such idolatry, and he might say, as Christians, they owed
it to themselves ; for if there were a transgression
on account of which this nation, as a nation,
stood guiLy this day before Almighty God it
bad reference to this very thing, that delivered as she was
from the con uptious of Anti-Christ in the good provi-
dence cf her God, she had gone back and had taken to her
bosom that very Anti-Christ, as if he were the friend of
her God and equal to hereelf—that she had fostered and
encouraged, and endowed that same An i-Christ all the
while that she had been calling that Anti-Christ, and
rightly celing him, an idolatry to be abhorred of all
faithful Christians. With what eyes then must the Jews
have looked even at England on this branch of
her history ? How must they have been puzzled ? They
hated i iolatry—they hated image worship—they knew it
was forbidden by their Goi, and they saw the most chris-
tian nation on the face of the earth making light of this
idolatry, endowing this image worship, boasting of im-
partiality between that idolatry and their own spiritual
religion. What, he asked, could intelligent Jaws think of
Christianity when they saw even England holding an ev, n
balance between spiritual religion amid open idolatry ?
This society protested against all such tamperings
with God's truth ; it protested against the wickedness of
impartiality between truth and falsehood. Was there
impartiality between truth and falsehood— between light
and darkne ea—between Christ sad Anti-Christ? What
answer did their members of Parliament give, and then
what answer did the Jew give ? The members of Parlia-
ment answered, that charity called for forbearance towards
all, that one man's religion was as good as another's, and
that they had no more right to condemn his religion than
he had to condemn their's. But what did the Jaw say ?
He saw the worship of images, and he asked himself, how
could he join those by whom it was tolerated and
endowed ? There was the great stumbling block in
the cause of the Jews, and not only ha I
Popish nations thrown stumbling blocks in their way,
by the idolatry they had exhibited, calling it Christianity,
but even England herself had been throwing stumbling-
blocks in the way by proclaiming impartiality between
Popery end Christianity. (Hear, hear.) He had a curious
argument sent to him in allietter, the other day, wh.ch
deserved observation from the force of its logic; it was in
consequence cf what he said on t'.e fast-day. The sermon
was reported in some of the newspapers, and, by way of
gument not to be answered, he got a letter telling him
that if he spoke against Popery any more, a bullet from a
revolver would settle his hash. (Laughter.) What
an argument! It was irresistible; and against
such logic as it, he protested, he was unable
to contend. (Laughter.) The Reverend Chat rtnan
then referred to the objection of some parties in the Church
to this society, and urged in i s support the many obliga-
tions which we owe to the Jews. Every part of the Bible,
he said, was written by Jews, and the whole Bide stood
in connection with theta in its history, in ha doctrine, and
in its prophecy. (Applause).
On the coaelusion of his adarese, the rev, chairman said
he had juit received a note, stating that a telegraphic
despatch had come to hand announcing the fall of Delhi
The ant °lineament was received with an enthusiastic
burst of applause.
The Rev. J. B. Lowe then read the annual report, from
which it appeared that the Liverpool Auxiliary Society
collected last year £BBB, being £lOO more than in the
preceding year.
On tho moti m of the Rev. Mr. Hart, seconded by the
Rev. Mr. Isaacs, and supported by Mr Porter, the report
and Watement of accounts were unanimously adopted.
A colle:tion was then made in aid of the society.
The meeting was then addressed by the Rev. Mr.
Tucker and the Rev. Dr. Taylor, after which the chairman
gave the blearing, and the meeting separated.
