the Society, read letters from the following gentle
men: DIR. Ptman, DR.. j. 7. Durbln Of Carlisle,
Rev. Willis Lord Of Philadelphia, DR.. Skinner,

Mr. LILY then read abstract of the annual report Of
he past year has been seady Increasing in and
usefulness. That they have missionary perman- |
emily stationed in Baltimore, whose labors have been
abundantly blessed and that they have invited dis
tinguished gentleman, well known in Europe and this
country for his abors love- to assist the Society in its

lieve them from the prosecutions to which they have
tant when the prophecies will be fulfilled in the resora
ton OF the Jews to the promised land where they will
worship in the beautiful Church which they shall build
to the true Messiah.
The Rev Dr. JOINS then submitted the following rcso-
luton =
Resolved, That the word and the Providence of God
concur to enforce the claims of Israel the tcnderest
sympahes of the Church, and especially calls for the
renewed and united efforts Of American christians in
this great and good cause.
He said in support of tho resolution that the
people was deeply enlisted in behalf of the OPP
pressed children Of Israel. He then went on TO
enquire into the best means Of carrying out the objects
the simple preaching of Christ and him crucihed-
He had found this in the of his ministerial
experience the most efectual method of converting
souls to God and he had doubt that with the divine
blessing i would produce the same result with the Jew
as with the Gentle There simple energy in the
story of the babe of Bethlehem and in the doctrine OF
grace through faith, which would enforce conviction
leced tracts by the Society would be powerful means,
with the blessing of God in bringing the descendants OF

world was clearly escerained fact that the mind

conversion of the Jewish people, and the time was ra
pdly approaching when Kings and Queens will be

said BY that the Jewish mind udically blinded
and it was not right to interfere with the DEGREES of Pro-
whence. The same arguments might have been raised
when Paul felt such deep anxiety for his Jewish bre.
ren and when the day ofPentcost 5000 brought
to knowledge of the truth. The resolution was tie
gut by the Rev. Dr. Micdoer, and carried.
The Rev Or. McCARry then offered the following re

tertainng such an idea himself, he constantly
