Mr.. Wolffis now Lecturing in New York.
. Rev. JosEgH WoIFE.-The first lecture,
of this extraordinary man and most extern
sive missionary, was delivered last min,
in the Broadway Tabernacle. to a very
large and highly gralifed audience. The )
astonishing travels, tolls, suferifrgs and sue
ccsses of this reverend gentleman, as mis-.
sion ry 10 the Jews. have rendered his
name lamiliar to all ohristcldom. To see
and hear him, viii be a 'priyalsge highly
esteemed in every place which he. may visit
throughout the Civilized world and especial
y when the subject of his lectures possess
SO much interest and attraction.
. The first lecture consisted chiefly of a
narrative of his travels among the countries
and cities of the East, with notices ot the
religious character and habits OF the people !.
among whom he sojourned: lt.was inter.
.sperced with interesting and important :.
facts, in relation to the Jews ofthe different
tribes and nations; and numerous illustra-
tons of the fuI6ment Of Scripture prophecy
we're introduced in most ielicidous man.
ner. The account of the awful earthquake
which Mr.. Wolff saw, apd the religious use
made OF it by the Arabs and Mahofedans
and Jews, held the audience in deep at.
tention. while the specimensofhis own style,
of preaching to the Jews, bis brethren after
the flesh, the lost sheep of.the house oils
racl, to seek whom this devoted missionary
goes forth in the name of his master through !.
:'every nation and sindrid, tongue apd peo.
plc," possessed the highest interest. Truly
II reminded us. of the days Of primitive SIM.
plicity and faith taught the jews out OF their
own Scriptures, .proving that Jesus IS the
Christ"
No one could listen to tbs celebrated
missionary without honoring his spirit of.
meekness: piety and zeal; nor without teel.
ING thai heis indeed an extraordinary man: !.
So full of comfort and happiness does he
find his employment "proclaimfng the 'n-
