Transferring Church Relntionr.

The Indianapolis correspondent of the Western
Advocate states that the United Brethren Church
Of Indianapolis has come over bodily to the Me-
thodist Episcopal Church, including several pro-
minent ministers and congregations in and ada
cent to the city. Already new church-"Mas-
sachusetts Avenue"-is projected by our new
brethren" and they will be found abreast with
any of us in every good word and work. The
cause of this detection is the extreme measure
adopted at their last annual Conference touching
secret societies. 1t has already added number
OF earnest and efficient ministers to our ranks in
other parts of the State, together with hundreds
of excellent people, and the end is not yet

biblicai ard Talmudical literature, in the Hebrew
ianguagd and In fact, in everything that pertoins
10 Iatein!bal studies. These latter are entrusted
70 toa Rev. DR.. Jastrow and Rev. Messrs. Morals,
JACOBS and Buttenwieser, all men said to be
yIinently fitted for their tasks.
But Maimondes College does not prosper, as
its founders had hoped and wished 1t would. 1t
has suffered and languished under various difficult
not overcome them yet. These difficulties were
made clearly apparent through the discussions or
the subject in the Jewish press of the country,
aud particularly last May during the sittings IN
this city Of the american Board OF Delegates"
of Hebrew congregations, at which Rev. DR..
Jastrow, rector and dean Of the college, was pre-
sent, and hoped and worked for "a official rec0g
milton and endorsement of Maimonides College by
doctrinal all ritualistc differences between Or
thodOx, sem-orthodox, moderate, liberal and
radical reform could be observed in well defined
contrast during the debate on the subject, which
for time was not only animated, but very earnest
and occasionally even personal.
IL is this divergence OF views which has pre-
vented Maimondes College from being better
maintained. They who resolutely stand by the
old form OF worship, and vigorously enforce upon
and among themselves the code of laws of the
Pentateuch, as enacted by Moses under divine in-
spration, could never harmoniZe with those whose
ideas OF worship In the synagogue now in modern
grooves, and who fear not to declare that the
Mosaic code and many provisions Of the Mishnd
are antiquated incompatible with the spirit of the
age, and being of no religious import, but mere
police regulations of the theocratic State as 1t ex
listed under Moses, and after him in Palestine may
and should be disreg ,rded without mourning the
blame OF apostacy. Az a natural consequence so
long as these irreconcilable differences continue,
there can be no union among the Jews in support
OF this college, which tried to go its course about
midway between the two extremes. But this
l0ste nitieu this compromising Of the time of
Moses with the age OF steam, the telegraph and
the press, has, it seems, brought no benefit to
Maimonides College, and it is the opinion Of many
prominent rabbis and other Jews that, in order to
flourish this college will have, sooner or later to
attach itself openly and fearlessIy to one or the
other, orthodox or reform, and then only will il
have warm and energetic partisans.

[From the Jewish Times Of Friday September ~
The daily papers contained lately report that
at a judicial investigation or two Jews ap-
peared on the witness stand and, at the request
OF certain individual, were sworn according to
the Jewish mode. We are at loss to know
what that mode is. We Thought that, according
to the Jewish law, simple affirmation is equiva-
lent to an oath, and that every good Jew feels
bound by his conscience and religion to observe
such oath. There existed formerly judicial
form of administering an oath to Jews in Ger
many, but the Jews themselves have protested
against this manner of administering it. as the
form had its origin In the superstition, the igno-
rance and the prejudices Of the Middle Ages and
it is now everywhere abolished. 1t was believed
by Christians that Jew called God to witness
only If attired in the phylacteries and the scarf,
and to make it more solemn the Thorah Roll was
given In his hand. 1t was a elur cast on the Jews
and their religion, but they had to submit to it
until the civilization of our century swept away
this remnant Of barbarism. But in this free
country we see ignorance go rampant that Jews
do not hesitate to bring their religion into con-
tempt and their morals under suspicion BY max
ing show OF their orthodoxy and their ignorance
Are our Christian fellow citizens to believe that
an oath taken by Jew with uncovered head
is not binding Oh him, aud toat his reli-
gion and conscience require certain form and
position? Are we, in this free country, to revive
the barbarism OF the Middle Ages? Is there no
orthodox voice to rebuke the ignoramus for the
outrage which he does commit against his reli-
gion? These orthodox fanatics are they TO be
allowed to draw contumely and contempt on our
sacred treasure? There IL no religious position
in which Jew is to take an oath; nay more,
simple affirmation is just as binding and sacred as
an oath, and these men who parade their igno
rance and their orthodoxy as genuine Judaism,
and thereby create prejudces against and wrong
conceptions OF our religion are either doing it to
make capital of their religion or they are be
nighted bigots

II we were obliged to be reticent on questions on
which we would like to speak out. But the Al
lance will have very important field to survey
some time hence, when the precise effect of the
proclamation Of the infaliblty of the Pope and
the withdrawal of the French troops are fully
known, and we see In what condition the Euro
pean nations are left at the close of the conflict
which looks as If it were 'the beginning Of the
end" OF the contest between the great religious
systems which are contending for the mastery in
Europe and throughout the Turkish empire.

During the late session Of the English Wesleyan
Methodist Conference, during the discussion of q
memorial from the Metropolitan Chapel Building
Fund Committee, asking for the appointment of a
special secretary FOR the ensuing year, very in
teresting and important announcement was made
Rev. William Arthur stated that he had received
a letter that morning from Sir Francis Lycett, q
distinguished Methodist layman, in which he tSir
Francis) said that he hoped within ten years, per-
haps seven, to see erected in London fifty new
chapels and II $4,000 about $3.50, 000) could be
obtained from the connection he intended to give
as much. The announcement produced deep
impression on the Conference, and was received
with loud applause. OF course a special secretary
was appointed Our Methodist brethren in Lon
don seem to entertain no doubt thai the other
$3.50 600 win be forthcoming.

capita consumption Of wool in the South-
ern and border States since the war but
the general facts within our knowledge
leads us to the conclusion that in some of
those states the per capita consumption
has not exceeded half, and in others two
thirds, what it was before the war, and
what it will be again when the industrial
and financial prosperity Of those States is
restored. Woolens beyond actual need
are merely Injuries, and the South has
been in no condition to buy Injuries.
Then there are innumerable situations
where fine-wool sheep only can be grown
proftably. We have mentioned these too
recently to leave it necessary to repeat
them here.
The reaction from the high prices OF
sheep and wool during the war; produced
disappointment and degree Of temporary
loss, which, particularly among new men
in the business, led to state of feeling
made up about equally of panic aud dis
gust. Improvement ceased in two-thirds
or three-quarters Of the Merino hocks Of
tho country, which were spared from the
knife, and many were crossed with the
mutton breeds. Fine wool husbandry
was demoralized." As it gradually re-
covers, there must be demand for choice
sheep to re-establish improvement. The
fancy prices" will not return, except
in some peculiar exigency which the fu-
ture may or may not develop; but good
prices-prices which will pay for willing
for them-will inevitably return.
