If there is such a thing as a histori-

had Jewish mayors in London and in

THE HUNGARIAN JEWS.

a few years ago Hungaria was con-
sidered the EldOradO of the Jews. 1t
is indeed they who have made Bud
apest one of the most beautiful and
moreover one of the most important
commercial and manufacturing cen
ters of Europe.
A few, very few, years ago dozen
and more Jews were members. and
very influential ones at that, in the
Magyar Parliament. The process of
Magyarization among them borders
on the ridiculous. They changed their
family names as easily as one changes
garment. While they, especially in
the larger cities, gave up the practices
and observances of the Jewish ceremo-
nies Sabbath, dietary laws, fasting
on Yom Kippur, etc., and while the
preachers had to deliver their SER
mons in Magyar. the Jewish Reform
movement was and is not encouraged
in the Synagogue. With all their Mag
var chauvinism they still pray for a
return to Jerusalem, restoration Of
Davidian dynasty, animal sacrifices
and sacred Otalism. In this re-
\ spect the slow Austrian style is still
initiated in Hungary, Notwithstanding
the fact that Reformers like Aaron
Chorin, who favored in 1881 Sun
y-Sabbath, David Einhorn and Leo
pold Loew labored and suffered for
Reform.
But it seems that the chauvinistic
ultra-Magyarism and exaggerated pa
triotism of the Hungarian Jews had
of late the contrary effect. At the
last election not single Jew was
elected to the Hungarian Parliament
Such thing has never happened be-
fore, and is worse than in Russia,
where at least two Jews were elected

about a hundred and fifty thousand

Protestant missions attended in large
numbers. 1t was in 1907 that Robert

Remarkable Religious Awakening at
Pyeng-Yang.

One of the most remarkable evil
dences of divine power has swept over
the city of Pyeng-Yang. This is the
result of the united prayers of the
missionary forces in that city.
After a short sermon one Sunday
morning, in which the appeal was
made to people to confess their sins
and surrender themselves unre
servedly to God, the people were
asked to make confession. Immedi-
ately a young man prominent in
church work, with tears and groans
made confessions Of sinful life
When he had finished speaking he
flung himself on the floor in great
agony, and sought for mercy The
scene that followed was indescribable
Men were stricken to the floor as if
hurled there by thunderbolt. They
writhed upon the floor and cried for
mercy in great remorse. So remarka-

The court, in delivering the opinion,
conceded that the State might, as an
original proposition, impose different

tions from that imposed upon do
mcstic corporations; but having ad-
mitted the corporation at bar without
any provision for different rate, the
State was inhibited from making
any discrimination against it now.
That corporation having done all that
the State required it to do, SIT was a
clear contract that the liability,

measured out to both And further,
that as the State restricted the life
of domestic corporations to twenty
years, the same limitation as to time
would govern as to this foreign corpo'
ration; its contract with the State
would last for twenty years.
No doubt tho foreign corporations
doing business in Utah would claim as
to any inequality that might be shown
against them, that they also, hav-
ing complied with every requirement
of the State in the way of fees and
charges, have like contract with the
