That arch Christian Jew, Joseph Wolfe. who,

Wolfe. is one of several instances OF the worse

annually presented. the numbers oil bibles, tesla

show OF progress in the good work OF conversion;
but when ths question Is aSked-hOw many Jews

Nhen We take /, tor granted that the CONVEX

prire of such sum as would support hundreds
Of Door individuals for months together: but when
the fact i, confessed that VI the half dozen Jews
that are reported converts, several OF hem have
seeded from the synagogue through worldly IN
tcresred motives, we must re-ret the misappll-
cation Of funds. whilst we lament over the per-
yer,eness of the Israeiles. Of the few Jews
converted by the society, the largest number OF
them have been brought over 10 Christianity. not

as to tempt them 70 mercenarv, instead Of a
s,ul-saving act There is a recent Instance OF
q convert being assisted by the society, to open
a jewelers. shop IN Br stol. and running away
with the profits of MS cOnve sion WITHIN few
DAYS after assistance had been rendered to him.
Mister Christian Frederick FREY, who, after his
conversion, aud appointment to the office OF
treasurer TO the society. ran away with the bal
lance la hand is another memorable instance of the
labaurs Of the society; and, not TO enumerate use
less examples. the Rerereat Joseph Wolfe. is one
of the latest examples this society for the cOneer

might have been expected, the warmth of the

lam Let the following prophecies convince our
readers that we are but doing the missionary JUS
;ice. They are extracted from an address to
some Of his friends in Constaniinopte.
II have TO announce to YOU, that, as the Lord
Jesus Christ will again appear on earth in the year
l847, TO gather together lhe~Jewish nation from
all quarters of the world. 70 bring them back TO
Eheir land, great judgments proclaim already the
mighty coming Of the Lord in glory and IN ma
jesty. -
/. A revolution will break out very soon in the
city Of Cons,antinople, and fire, death and de-
sGuctioa, shall be its fearful companions; so
that England will be obliged TO keep her ieet IN
the neighbOrhood
9. Wellington, the proud, will be terribly pun
ishej, for having admitted into power the beast
II mean the Church of Rome.
5. There shall be heard soon. very soon. of
famine, tempest, destruction Of ships, earthquakes
and pestaences, in divers places.
A. The Jews shall rise in divers places, and
proclaim salvation BY a cruciied Saviour. Bless
ed are those who hear now the name of Joseph
Wolfe. and turn TO the Lord Jesus Christ, the
King Of Kings and Lord of Lords. with all their
heart and mind. and submit themselves to the
rruci6ed Saviour, in order that they may be saw

5. Sultan Mahmoad. thou art great man, but
the war of Russia has prepared thy death; ano-
Their shall usurP thy place.
