FUNDS.
The Receipts into the Treasury last year were
about $4,000 this year they have amounted 20

in support OF Missionaries among the Jews,

1t is due to the friends Of the cause 20 say that
we could have ayaied ourselves OF n much larger
amount had felt justified in treasuring It up tor
future use. But promise them, by the help OF
Jehovah, that the Treasury shall not be In SO IN
embarrassed a condition as now at the close oil an
other year While aware that 10 supply this held
with suitable laborers is not the work OF day,
still the present prospect is that during another
year we shall be able to use in the Missionary
work all the funds that can be obtained
The friends Of the cause will have already per
ceived that the Journals of the Missionaries have
been restored to their former place in the Societys
! Publication.
1t cannot be expected that such an organization
any more thaa an individual church can effect any
|
the plans Of its officebearer. For want OF such
acting. head during the former part OF the year the
Board remained almost stationary IN It's aggressive
operations This difficulty is now obyiated and the
Board can now show real progress
They have succeeded by Jehovahs blessing In
awakening deep interest in the hearts OF thousands
of Christians, in behalf Of Israel so that the daily
PRAYER ascends from thousands OF closets i''
| Israers redemption. .
They are silently aud progressively breaking
down the old prejudices SO deeply rooted In tue
common Jewish mind by their leaders anc con
vincing them that the spirit Of the Gospel 10 tnat
of their ancient Scriptures and that the rehglon Of
Christianity is that of Abraham, Noses ana tne
Prophets.
They have by their Missionaries not only been
! able to get access to Jews upon the subject OF
Christianity, bat hsve so won upon their confidence
as to be invited by them to their homes or visited
to converse upon the subject OF the Christian reu
gion. This is real progress IN this interesting
work.
These Missionaries have been able to induce
Jews in considerable numbers OF both sexes 70
attend upon their public minstratons In CHRISTIAN
Churches
There are at the present time more than hund'
red Christian Israetes in good and regular stand
ing in the various evangelical churches OF TINS
country, of whom 90 are preachers Of the uospeh
and are in preparatory course
There are known TO be as many as 10 serious IN
durers after the truth as it is in Jesus, all OF whom
have come in contact with our Missionaries and
have been first awakened through their instrument
| tally.
Our missionaries and colporteurs have distribut.
ed among the Jews the past year thousands OF
tracts and hundreds OF bibles, lectures and other
books adapted to their present religious CONDITION.
The Report gives other interesting details OF
conversions, and makes some comparisons OF the
results of the Society," with those of other Missona
ry Societies which show that the additions OF mem
bers to the Church. by this Society has cost far less
| in dollars and cents for each person than IN many
of the leading societies OF the age.
! The Board intend this year to employ fifteen mis-
sionaries, and to raise money for their proper sup
port.
j. w. MARcUssoLM an Israelte from CONSTANT
| nople then addressed the assembly. He had been
greatly interested in the anniversaries OF the week
he was glad to see so many here this evening.
He begged leave to propose the following resolu-
| ton:
Resolred That 40 ae Jewish Mission field lie becoming
the most fruitful garden Lord the world, Christians
called to renewed exerons 10 the cause OF isaes re-
We see the Jewish field now to be fruitful
garden But has the Church done for that
people, from whom according to the flesh
| Christ came into the word-that people who
kept the word Of life for you, for me, for all the
world The church has prosecuted them, trodden
| they treated in Russia, in Poland in Germany 7
You, in this free country have no idea of it. They
are Ridden to come into church OF christians,
at the peril Of being beaten, even unto death AT
the idoatrous typical representation OF the cruel
fxion OF Christ every one takes 1t as signal to
beat and maltreat every Jew he meets He con
sdered that the results of the London and OF this
Society, since 1908, had been glorious the Lord
has shown that if we till this garden it will become
as any mission field in the world. II properly
cared for if prayer and toll 60 hand in hand, the
cause will go forward What il the Jew should
fall on rough ground it can produce no worse than
thorns and brers. But we have seen such ground
bringing forth flowers and fruits Only few
years ago a chapel was erected for converted Jews
! in the very shadow of Mount Zion. There are
more than fifty ministers in England who are
converted Jews The popular belief that has
been so strong against the Jews, is working
round in their favor In Constantnople, where
there are sixty thousand Jews and but one
Missionary the work of evangelizing the cho-
sen people is going on much better than could be
hoped. II we only feel that all efforts, however
small are best we shall have encouragement TO
persevere The Jews were people of singular
character, especially in regard to their great zeal
a zeal without knowledge only required to
be put into the right channel to do great service to
the cause of Christ. II you convert one Jew, you
make living epistle, which will be read by all
that people-not one Jew is turned to Christian
Church but the fact goes like magnetic thrill to all
the Jews OF the country. II we oan only induce
them to come to the word Of God we need not fear
that they will fail TO find the truth it is in Christ,
to the Joy and everlasting welfare of their souls
What can we not expect, when Jews, who very
lately thought it sin even to touch the New Test
mentre now willing to read it = Ought not these
encouragements TO urge US to more jealous efforts
in this cause Shall we Lot remember the Jew,
both in prayers and in aims Shall we not act for
these people, and blot out the stain that has laid
upon the Church of God so many agesi He
beseeched his hearers to give tbisgreat subject the
attention it deserved.
