The work Of the Indian Female Normal

India. has been SO successful that a large
number of this strange branch OF the chosen
neople have accepted Christ as the Messiah.
They are not recognized by the Arabian and
Europ AN Jews as iull members OF that people,
because they have not taken part IN 'ne Ioot-
biblical Talmudic development through
which Jewish reli giOus thought has passed.
In this respect they are like the Falsshas, or
Rlack Jews Of Abyssinia, and a small jewish
Diaspora in China. They had completely lost
