GENTLE AND HEDnKw.-Tho jews Of tho present
day, in tho e1oroso OF their religious rites, keep
on the cyon tenor OF their way, and seldom engage
in controversy, other doctrinal or other, with
those not OF tho household of Abraham unless
thoy deom themselves attacked. An occasion Of
this exceptional kind occurred In Cincinnati on
Saturday last, whom tho Rabbi, I. NJ. WmR
preached sermon to o crowded congregation In
the Hobrow Tomplo, cornor Of Plum and Eighth
streets, In which he reviewed tho discourse

know anything among you, savo Jesus Christ, md
