The Jewish Conference.

While the Christian Endeavorers have
been holding their big Convention in this
city. another body Of a less tiamboyant
kind has been in session here. We refer to
the Central Conference OF Jewish Rabbis
which was convened on Wednesday OF last
week and adjourned on Sunday OF this
week. and which favored our jewish COM
munity with rabbinical deliverances upon
certain questions Of gravity In jewish
low and ritualism. Though the judg-
ments Of a body OF this kind are
not authoritative. they may not the less
govern the action Of the congregations rep
resented in 1t. and may exercise an impor-
tant influence upon the historical develop
ment OF Judaism in America. 1t Is proper to
say here that the Conference did not repre-
sent the Jewish community at large; that
rabbis OF the old orthodox type took
no part In 1t: that our Russian
Jewish immigrants held 1t in adherence:
and that the hundred rabbis In its
membership stand only for that Reform
ed Judaism OF which Rabbi WISE OF Gin
c!nnati Is the foremost expounder. These
Reformers. as a matter OF course. accept the
Pentateuch. the Prophets. and the Torah !:
but they construo the sacred books in a
way that is as abhorrent to an orthodox
soul as the cockatrice egg which is Matched
in n viper's den lsee JEREMIAH.
The single question OF immediate inter-
esq upon which this Conference acted. and
which its members debated with JUNCTION
and erudition. was whether the ancient
initiatory rites for proselytes to Juda-
ism ought to be simpliied. and whether
one OF these troublesome rites should be
done away with.
It appears from statements made by
several of the rabbis that good many
Christians are ready to turn to Judaism II
tho Judaistic forms for the initiation OF
proselytes are made acceptable ia
them: and 1t was on account OF
these statements. which VIC think must
have surprised both Jews and Christians
| that Rabbi WIsE's hobby raised so much
interest in the Conference. Nearly all
orthodox Jews are wholly opposed To
| proselytism, which. however. Is favored by
| the Reformed denomination that has ac-
quired power In this country within re-
cent years. In delivering judgment upon
tho question OF ritual brought up by
Rabbi WISE, the Conference proceeded very
| cautiously, and may DO said to have resorted
to compromise when 1t decided that each
rabbi shall determine for himself how far the
ancient rites are to be enforced upon prose
lytes. This is a remarkable IL not an I'M
justfiable compromise.
1t Is evident from the delivcrances Of the
Conference upon the various subjects
brought before it. that the lines between tn,
Judaism OF Orthodoxy and that of Reform
are now very strictly drawn. The spirit
and tho methods OF tho Jewish reformers
Of the WISE school bear close resemblanc,
to those OF the higher critics OF the BRIGG.
school in the Presbyterian Church. This Ii
one Of the strange and revolutionary signs
OF the times In the religious world.

The Produce Exchange is now raising

The Produce Exchange is now raising
money for the relief Of the Newfoundland city
of st. Johns. which has Just been devastated By
fire. There is a good prospect that service
able sum will be procured. and that, even be-
fore the end Of this week. part Of 1t will be
used for the alienation Of the sufferers from
the destructive contagration which began on
Friday last and was not subdued till Sunday.
We have no doubt that many Of our
citizens who are not members Of tho
Produce Exchange will send subscriptions to
its Committee on Charities. a committee. By
the way. which is often called upon to raise
special funds. and which is always successful
In raising them. The Produce Exchange men
are as generous in their charities as they are
enterprising in their business transactions.
The same thing can be said Of the members Of
the other great Exchanges in New York.
There are in this city several thousand New
foundlanders. and wo suppose they have all

Why do not the little ragamufflns OF
Boston appreciate tho nice Rymnasiums and
