the Jews are the only nation ou earth, who never
divided the attributes Of the Loid with "A mortal

How could Professor BUSH fall into such an
error as to believe, that the Jews Of this city
cherished 10 hope Of the restoration Of their na-
ton, asd that the proposal strikes them as
something rePulsvei"
There is not the shadow of ground for this sup
position. The Jews throughout the world, one
and ALL hope and expect and pray, for the resto-
ration Of the nltion. On this point there is not
shadow Of difference Of opinion, Professor BUSH
says: -" he Talmud is now the book Of au-
thoIty among them, but one of the most cheer
- ing signs Of the times Is that this in high places
" has already been laid aside, its authority dis
"puted, and tho Christian Bible adopted in its
stead" How could my learned and worthy
friend, advance such an opinion without the au-
ihority of single fact to support ii = The
Talrnud of Jer,lsse and the Gemar0 or Talmud
of Babyo,, containing the traditions and canons
of the Jewish Law, valued by Christians web
as Jews for its antiquity and great learning, cGnN
tinues to be held in high estimation by learned
Jew. throughout the world Modern Jews not
familiar with the Hebrew language, imper-
fcctly acquainted with these works, but their aH-
thorty has never been disputed The sec, Of
the Caradite Jews in Russia and Poland, alone
respect the traditions, aud adhere TO the Law
and the Prophets. As 10 the Christian Bible
meaning the New Testament being adopted by
Jews in place Of the Talmsd IA. Professor Bush
above says, there Is no truth III It, immediately or
pros pectivcly there is net the least ground Tor
the assertions, and rejecting. sensible Christians,
should never indulge the hope, that the Law and
the Prophets will ever be rejected 10y the Jews
iorany substitute.
You are probably aware Of the experiment re-
cent?, made in Jerusalem. OF appointing con-
vsr,cd jew VS. a Christian Bishop, and reading
the New Testament in Hebrew they read the
Old Testament IN the Synagogue; adopting Jewish
forms and ceremonies, but teaching Christianity
The Bishop and h;s congregation were destroyed,
and DESTROYED by Chr istans in Jerusalem, not
Jews. The Jews renamed tranquil and de-
pended upon higher power for protection
There as no hope Of the conversion Ct NE Jers
10 any other .)aifh. No good Christian should
desire il; thev have been preserved Tor great
purposes and men should not attempt to change
their character or interfere with The VIII OF God
and good will prevail among Jew and Gentle,
without reference to religious matters. You have

Jewish Creed. as thrown into form 10y Mamomaes
