pocTRixAL TOPICS EXCLUDED
The Alliance nss very wisely excluded from It's list
OF topics all questions Of doctrinal character Tho
admission OF such topics this time, when Judaism
IN Europe and America seems to DC IN a state oil
transformation, would result In discord aud dsuny
whereas the tendency everywhere to-day, among
Jews and Christians alike, Is toward greater
unity, II not uniformity. This omission OF
doctrinal topics Is, however, regretted by some
American jewish writer's and preachers who believe
that This matter will demand Consideration ana adu-
dication ore long But they think that the longer
is put "a the harder II will be settle The Jude
pendsnce and disIntegrsuon Of Jewish congregations
