jewish Strength In America.

The result of the first systematic ut
tempt to ascertain the strength of Juda.
ism on this continent has Just been
published. For many years past there
has been in the sect o growing demand
for some statistical information con-
cerning the Israelites in the United
States, not alone as an exhibit of ma
terial prosperity or status rs q religious
sect, but rs means of enabling the diff
ferent churc y to act in concert in all
that concerned them as children of the
Abrahamic faith. In 1876 the Board of
Dele yatea of American Israelites, with the
cooperation Of the Union of American
Hebrew congregations, undertook the
task of securing the desired information,
the chief charge of the matter being
placed in the hands of Mr.. William b.
Hackeuburg, of this city. Considerable
difficulty was experienced in obtaining
reliable figures, some Of tho congrega.
tions declining TO respond, while ia some
places, where neither Congregations nor
jewish societies existed. the committee
was compelled to rely upon their ipdi-
vidual effort
Altogether, returns received from 900
places show that in 1878 there were in
the United States 27S congregations,
with membership of 12,546, and that
the number of 1slaelites was 290, ,257.
Making allowance for the places not
heard from, the total Jewish population
is placed at 250,000 souls. Of these
about $4,000 are located in Pennsylvania.
The oldest congregation in the country is
inc Snnaray Shomayin, of Lancaster. or.
ganized in 1776, while tho Rodef Sha-
lom, of Philadelphia, is the next oldest,
having been organized in 1880. The
richest congregation Is the Ten ole
Emanuel of New York, which, although
only established iG 1S4S, and having but
462 members, owns real estate and other
property to the value of 100000. The
public institutions established by the
sect in the United States include five
hospitals, eleven orphan asylums and
homes, and six free schools. Its doc.
trines are enunciated by seventeen news
papers and magazines. The 278 congrega-
tions in America own between them prop.
erty valued at Sc, ,750, 900, and over 18, 900
children attend the religious schools.
