Tho Recent Rabblnical Conference at Cincjns
nati-protess from Jewish Dectors-The
Keiormers Charged with Heathcnisn-
Their Doctrines Denounced Flsgrans
Riasphen mics.
In the beginning OF the present month meeting
took place In Cincinnati, OHIO, Of u number OF In
divduals who, although for the greater part devoid
OF theological education and capacity, and hence
utterly incompetent to represent Judaism, assumed
the style and title OF "The Conference OF American
Rabbles" The records OF their proceedings are pub
sned TO the world.
Thing5 which NOBODY deemed credible or even
possible took place then and there. The originator
OF that Conference positively repudlated the per-
sona God, ano empnatcally denied that the bener
IN personal God taught 10y Biblical Judaism.
He, furthermore, designated the God or the Bible as
being inplacable; melting out punishment but
showing no mercy and forgving no sin, under the
plea that the idea of personal and pardoning God
had It's origin In Christianity.
Another member OF the Conference, avowing tbs
same sentiments, deduced from tue denial OF q per-
sonai COD The logical conclusion. which he dis
uncny uttered thai prayer " God was an aDsurdity.
Scarcely voice was heard In opposition. All the
ielsw members silently acquiesoel. More than
tnis the Conference went even SO FAR as 10 appoint
