SINGULAR DOCUMENT The Jews AND THE GEN.
TIKs-THE PREsBYTERLANs AND THE IsRAELITKs.-
Our readers will find in another part of this days
paper, of the most extraordinary documents
which has appeared in print in long time. 1t
is nothing less thaa an appeal from the Pres
byterisn Synod of New York, to all Jews, cir
cumelsed and uncrcumcised, within their llmitsy
afectionately calling upon them to believe in
Jesus Christ, and unite with the Presbyterans.
1t sbounds with the milk of human kindness,
and we specially recommend 1t to the attsn-
ten and careful Perusal of Old Noah, who
evRced so disnterested desire, few years since,
to form a community Of Jews on Grand Island,
with himself to be high priest, and to all his breth
ren in The old clo' line in Chatham street The
appeal is go lovingly affrctonste that We doubt not
the Jews in this region ii rush in, pell-mell, and
snite with the PrssSyterians at once. The age is
certainly progressive.
