At 6 meeting Of Che Reformed
Jews, held lately In New York city,
the following resolutioiEs were
unanimously adopted;
The Rabinical Conference de-
clareS that Judaism IN lie present
phase Of development c~Onfesses tho
following principles to be embodied
In public worship:
\ Nrst-The Messiahic aim Of Is
rael Il not the restoration Of the old
Jewish state under q son Of David,
the renewed segregation from the
nations, bnt the union Of Ill men as
children Of God In the confession
Of the one and only God, Of the
unity Of oil rational beings and
their vocation for moral purity.
Sec0nd-We do not regard the
destruction Of the Jewish state as q
punishment for the sins Of Israel,
but ss the eoFollaFy Of the Divine
purpose expressed In the premise
to Abraham, and more clearly de-
velOped In the course of history ;
TO send the members of the Jewish
race 70 all parts of the earth In or
der to accomplish their highly
priesuy mission /: to lead the nations
to the true knowledge aud worship
Of God.
Third-The Aaronic priesthood
and the Mosaic sacridOial worship
were only preparatory steps to Is
rael'S national priesthood, actually
with the dispersion Of
the Jewish people and to the sacri-
fee Of the hearts devotion aud
moral specification as alone pleas
Ing 10 God. These institutions
therefore, designed TO prepare a
state Of religious sentiment,
IRE altogether numbered with the
destruction Of the second temple,
the things Of the past, and
IN this sense only. O., In their ed
