Lecture of Ex.Kabbi SchlamOvitx on the
Evidences OF Christia nity-The Proph
cies Concerning the Messiah and the
Doctrine OF the AtOneme nt-The Chris
tian Doctrines and the Early Jewish
Faith Identical.
Professor Emanuel II. Schlam0vitz delivered the
first OF a or lectures yesterday afternoon in
the school room OF the Church OF the Holy Inno-
cents, Thirty seventh street and Broadway, on the
evidences OF Christianity" The lecture was de-
livered in the German language. and was divided
into two parts, the first being devoted to the
prophecies concerning the Messiah and the latter
portion TO the doctrine OF the atonement. He
claimed that modern rabies knowingly taught to
their people false interpretations OF the prophecies
interpretations which were wholly at variance
with the teachings OF the Je wish Church before
the coming OF Christ. The Christian and the early
Jewish interpretations were almost Identical. 1t
was an indisputable fact that many eminent Je wish
commentators differed widely in their explana-
tons OF the
PROPHECIES CONCERNING THE MESSIAH.
Among these he mentions Rabies David Kimchi,

spised and rejected OF men," "a man OF sorrows

the spilerlngs OF the children OF Israel, because

asked, is there Objectionable in the doctrine of the
aJonement of Jesus Christ, who in His life was
pure and holy, man void Of all sinH The
real point OF the lecture was the star
ting proposition that as the early Jewish
interpretations OF the prophecies concerning
the Messiah agreed exactly with the Christian
interpretations, then the Christian doctrines con-
tanned the real faith OF Israel; consequently to be
good and true Catholic was to be o believer in
the true Jewish faith. The exRabbi Will be in
