of what bad taken plae yesterdar, must agree in the
truth of the Chairman's observation, that the present
meeting was no test of what was the feeling of the Chris-
tians of Liverpool on behalf of the Jews. Perhaps in the
whole range of human language there could not be found
another word on which there •was a greater variety of
ideas, than that of the word Jew. For centuries past, to
the great bulk of the human race, it represented every
thing that was despicable and vile; but in later days, he
rejoiced that it was better understood; (hear, hear)—
and that those who saw .the position in which it stood
in the word of God, did not look on it in this despicable
light. But what was in reality the Jew ? He was nothing
more and nothing less than the summary and substance of
not exclaim ea guilty race. He was the glory and epitome of the degra-
dation and exaltation of man. Who could look at the
high position once occupied by the Jewish nation ; and
not dwell, at the same time, on the spiritual and national
tiegrddation in which it had now for ages been plunged ?
Who could dwell on the reminiscences of the past, and
