THE JEWISH RITUAL.

in England, France, Germany, Bavaria, and
generally throughout Europe, except the
Hamburg synagogue, will send delegates to
the approaching London conference. It is
the object of the gathering to revise the
Jewish ritual in regard to several of its pro-
visions which are now felt to be unnecessary,
burdensome and out of spirit with the Gus
toms of the age. The question of the abo-
lition of Saturday, now kept as the Jewish
Sabbath, will probably come up for discus
sion. Jewish business men affirm that their
church customs now place them at q disad-
vantage in competing with members of otker
sects, making it impossible for
them to do business more than five days in
the week. They favor either the entire abo-
lition of Saturday as holiday or unity of
the Jewish sabbath with the Christian Sun
day. The Hamburg synagogue, which re-
fuses to take any part in the movement, is
composed of rich and influential Hebrews,
who hold very strictly to orthodox usuages
In advanced Jewish circles here it is held
that the change suggested is only matter
of time even if it should not be favored by
majority of the coming conference. The
notifications of the ritual are said to be
pending. .: ,'.s~ 50, -'
sALIsBuRY's SPEECH. 81
LONDON, Oct. 18.-The Times, after re-
view of the speech made by Lord Salisbury
at the banquet at Manchester last night,
says: Such is the substance of the vindica-
ton with which Lord Salisbury is prepared to
appeal to the country, and it is stated with
force which the opposition will find it hard
to repel. They have denounced our policy
so vehemently that, as Lord Salisbury urges,
their success at the next election would nat
urally be accepted by Europe as a sign that
the work of the present ministry was to
be undone. He has shown, in word, that
the interests of the empire and not of the
party will be the issue when the country is
appealed to, and he has given good reason
to believe that they have hitherto been safe
in his hands.
The Manchester Guardian concludes the
article on the same subject as follows: It is
this exaggeration of tone, this adoption of
wild expedients to meet illusory dangers
which has justly alarmed the country, If
the security of the empire be the object it IS
for the country to judge whether it is most
likely to be achieved by such measures or by
more cautious if less exciting methods.
Lord Salisbury Friday night referred to
W
