THE Jewish Church is everywhere
noted for its kindness to its own peo-
pie. 1t is against Jewish principles
to allow any of their poor TO come
upon the public. All the sick in
poverty are cared for. and provision
is made for widows and orphans
Efficient societies, literally provided
with funds, supply the poor with food,
help the old people as they need and
bury the dead. Some Of the free hos
pitfalls In London have Jewish wards,
but all the expenses of those wards
are paid for from the treasury of
Jewish organizations IF any able
bodied persons are out of employment
and need help, they receive 20 gratui-
ty, but are accommodated with a tenn
porary loan, and the cases are said to
be rare In which these debts are not
fully paid.

Quite a number of the clergy OF the
diocese rendered assistance In the con
fessional, and manifested therein a
genuine missionary spirit. Two more
| Dominican Fathers also arrived
during the second week, and their
services were highly appreciated.
/ The result of the mission was: 3 500
communions, hundreds of strayed
sheep brought back to the fold, the
establishment of the cOnfraternities
of the Holy Rosary and of the Angel
ic Warfare, and many other heavenly
graces. We understand that the
Fathers of the sans order opened
