What is characterized as revolt In
English Judaism Is the subject Of an
Interesting account in the Jewish
Chronicle. II appears that some Of the
Jews In London under the leadership
Of two prominent Rabbls, have Gun.
menced to hold services on sunday IN
stead Of on Saturday, and that they
are well attended.
The account OF the new services
eeys that they were devoid OF any
thing reminding OF the synagogue. The
synagogal trappings were abseat. The
Hebrew tongue had receded into a
place OF minor importance. The soIeni-

work Of the president o. the Jewish

Are we to suppose that there could

in these Hebrew scriptures i
Such an idea would be very err
roneous.
Mary Magdalena Moses continues Ia
O very sarcastic vein, but the tendency
Of the movement may nevertheless 10

That proves that the leaders Of il an.

possible and needed, II is not a long
step TO position Of seeking for new
light and knowledge OF truth. and no
honest seeker after truth win ever
search In vain.
