SHOULD FROM THAT TIME FORM ONE OF THE GREAT MISSIONARY Schemes Of Our Church. In July 1841, a similar resolution was passed by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. So thus one grand result of this undertaking has been, that the venerable Church of Scotland, in days of darkness and perplexity, along with her revived and vigorous offspring in Ireland, has been led to acknowledge herself debtor Doth to the Jews and to the Greeks, and humbly to imitate the Apostolic Church of Jerusalem, by sending forth some of her sons to the heathen, and some to the circumcision.* True, when we turn our eyes on the millions of the blinded heathen, and the scattered bones of Israel that whiten the valley of vision, we feel that absolutely nothing has been done at all adequate to the awful need of a perishing world, and the weight of our responsibility. Yet a beginning has been made; the cry, "Come over and help us," is now distinctly heard in the remotest corners of our land. And all who take pleasure in tracing the steps of the Son of man, as he walks amidst his golden candlesticks, cannot but thank God that these two Churches have now come forth in their full Evangelistic character—preaching Christ and him crucified to their people at home, and stretching out their hands abroad, with the offer of the water of life to the distant Gentiles and the dispersed of Judah. "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy and for thy truth's sake."

* As a specimen of the way in which they teach the scholar to write Hebrew, we subjoin the following. The master of the class took up a book that was lying by him, and read the following sentence in Italian. *• I counsel thee to read with the pen in your band, and to write on the book the useful and new ideas. This is the best means.of imprinting them in your minds; and farther, being in this way able always to find them, they will be help, ful to you in your conduct when they are good." A lad, in the coarse of a few minutes, thus rendered the passage into Hebrew, using the current Hebrew hand:—

BISTORT OF RABBI SIMEON BZN VOCIIaI.
We give the following as one out of a thousand specimens of Jewish credulity.—Rabbi Simeon is said to have lived in the second or third century. One day when some of them were met together, a rabbi named Pupas, who had visited Rome, related to his friends the wonders he had seen,—dwelling especially upon the works of public utility, such as the bridges, the baths, and the highways. Rabbi Simeon was much displeased at his commendsthat were ploughing in the fields within their sight. On this, God commanded them to return back to the cave, lest the whole world should be consumed by them; and there they remained other twelve years. During this period rabbi Simeon composed the Book of Zohar, still enjoying the instruction of the prophet Elijah. On leaving the cave the second time, the frowns of rabbi Eliezer were as destructive as rabbi Simoon's had been the first time, but the blessing of rabbi Simeon restored all that rabbi Eliezer laid waste. They hid the Zohar, in the cave, where it was found 400 years after, the roll being as fresh as if written only yesterday. Pilgrimages are performed to the rabbi's grave at Marona every year by Jews from all parts of the world. They remain at it three days, spending the time in mirth and festivity. Often hundreds of pounds worth of shawls, dipped in oil, are burned in his honour. Vows are made to him, and prayers presented for deliverance from any misfortune. Even in the time of the late earthquake, hundreds came to pour out their prayers over his grave.

JEWS OF CORFU.
Communicated by a Resident there. (Bee page 393.)
The number of Jews in the island of Corfu is about 2000. They all reside in a particular quarter of the town, but are not separated from tho rest of the population by any enclosed wall, as is the case at Rome, Ancona, and other places in Italy. They have two synagogues, and two small oratories There is some trifling difference in the ceremonies performed at the two synagogues, but not such as to prevent a Jew, who is in the habit of attending one of the synagogues, from frequenting and worshipping at the other. The Jews at Corfu I consider a very unfavourable specimen of their race. They ore, in general, filthy in the extreme in their in me extreme.
Twenty years ago, a Jew dared not venture to show his face in the street during Passion-week. Detachments of troops si that season of the year, were stationed at their synagogues to protect them from insult and violence; but a great change has taken place since then, and they may now walk about the streets even on Good Friday with impunity.
The chief rabbi is a native of Gibraltar, and calls himself an Englishman. His name is Bibas. He is a genuine Pharisee of the old school, rigidly observing the Jewish law. Some time since he prohibited his people from carrying an umbrella on the Sabbath, as a violation of the fourth commandment The Jews here are generally very strict in their observance of the Sabbath, which they will not violate for any temporal consideration, but they revolted against the prohibition to carry an umbrella on that day In reply to the inquiry whether there are any Christians at Corfu who care for the souls of the Jews, I can only say that the Christians here, whether Greeks, Roman Catholics, or Protestants, care little, generally speaking, for their own souls, and therefore have little thought for the souls of the Jews.

JEWS OP DAMASCUS.
Communicated by Erasmus 8. Cai.ma*. from personal observations a few years ago
The Jews of Damascus ore, like their brethren at Bagdad, the descendants of the first and second captivity; their descent may, many suppose, be traced as far back as the reign of King David.
books and tracts, and are very communicative. The fact of the Jewish quarter being at a distance from that of the Christians, cuts off any kind of intercourse except that of business, and this deprives them of every opportunity of giving vent to their ill-humour, which they might otherwise have done, and likewise lessens their dislike to Christianity. The Pasha of Egypt, since he has taken possession of Syria, has wrested all the secular authority from the hands of the rabbis, which is another reason for the liberal opinions of the Jews at Damascus. I would thus conclude, that Damascus, as a missionary station, is of the utmost importance, not only as it regards the direct preaching to the Jews, but also as it concerns the distribution of the word of God. Caravans come and go regularly from Damascus to Bagdad, Mosul, Aleppo, and other large towns, several times in the year, where the Jews purchase every copy of the Scriptures they can obtain from the British and Foreign Bible Society's Agent, and send them to the above-mentioned places, from which again they are sent to Persia and Curdistan; and this is the only channel I am aware of, by which the word of God can reach the Jews in these distant regions. The Society's edition of the Bible is almost the only one which is used in their families and the schools.
Schools for Jewish children may likewise be easily established there, where the Hebrew, Arabic, and English should be taught. The latter language grows daily in importance since the trade with England increased. At Beyrout, where the number of Jewa is comparatively small, not amounting to more than 100 iudivi528 APPENDIX.
duals, several families of Jews send their children to the American school intended for the native Christians there, and parents make no objection to their being instructed in the New Testament.
It is interesting to read the above observations, written before the sad persecutions of these Jews had somewhat changed their feelings and situation. Perhaps, however, even after all they have suffered at the hands of persecutors, on the ground of an alleged murder of a Christian, British Christiana will be found as welcome to the Jews of Damascus as ever before. For British Chris. tians have come forward to plead their cause as well as British Jews. Among others, the General Assembly of our Church in 1840, unanimously agreed to memorialize Government to interpose in behalf of the persecuted Jews at Rhodes and Damascus.

JEWS OF BAODAD.
Communicated by Erasmus S. Calmah, Woo personally visited them.
The Jews of Bagdad believe that they are descendants of the Jews who were carried thither in the first captivity. Tbey still have over them one called "Head of the captivity in Babylon," ^333 nV?j-tt'NT, an office which arose in the first or second century. About the same time arose the office of K3f K»pj e>K> " Head prince of the Holy Land." It is probable that these titles and offices arose from a desire to counteract the prophecy of Jacob, "The Sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet until Shiloh come." They still apply the first part of this passage to their "Head prince of the captivity," and the "Lawgiver" to the u Head prince of the Holy Land." The Romans abolished the latter office, so that the Jews now content themselves with referring to the first. They further say, that none were made princes who could not prove their descent from Judah. It is said that the Jews themselves applied to the Romans to put down the Head prince of the Holy Land, because of his oppressions. At present, the Prince of the Captivity is not a descendant of Judah, but is raised up by the Porte and the local Government at Bagdad to exact from his brethren the money levied on the Jewish nation there. The people bate the office, and wish it was abolished. Mr. Caiman, on a visit to him, once asked him "If he really thought himself the sceptre that was to remain in Judah 7" He gave no answer; he would not say that he believed it, but only smiled. Yet
year accompany me caravans mai go 10 Damascus ana Aleppo, in order to visit the graves of their favourite rabbis, such as the author of the Zohar, at Marona. The poorer classes, who have not the means of making pilgrimages to the Holy Land, go on pilgrimages to the innumerable graves of the writers of the Talmud, in the vicinity of ancient Babylon. Some go to the graves of the prophets Jeremiah and Ezckiel, who are supposed to be buried on the frontiers of Persia, making vows and prayers to them.
They are occupied in bartering and traffic, the commerce of Bagdad and its vicinity being entirely in their hands. They have occasionally stopped trade by withdrawing their capital from the market, when the Pasha attempted to make alterations in the currency injurious to their interests. Few have any manual trade, except writing out the Pentateuch on parchment scrolls, for which they are famous in all the East .
They are bitterly opposed to Christianity and to missionaries. The reasons of this are—If any Jew were to embrace Christianity, the Head of the Captivity has power to punish him; and he has done this occasionally in so severe a way that the criminal has died under the lash. Another reason is, that Christians—Armenians especially—avenge themselves on the poor Jews for wrongs done them by the Mahometans. The peculiar hatred which the Jews bear to the Armenians may arise from a charge often brought against them, namely, that Hainan was an Armenian, and that the Armenians are the Amalekites of the Bible. When Mr. Caiman visited Bagdad with Mr. Groves in 1832, to try to open a school among the Jews, the attempt completely failed, chiefly through the fear they have of the Prince of the Captivity.
The Cabbala is more a matter of study than the Talmud, both here and in the East generally. Poland, instead of Babylon, may be said to have become the seat of the Talmud. The reason as"ready to perish in the land of Assyria."* When Mr. Caiman visited their Hacham, he was dressed in a long, coarse shirt, with a rope about his loins. A small square chamber served him both as a study and a synagogue. He had a few manuscripts, which be would not part with for any price in the world. He was delighted when Mr. C. told him that he was as much opposed to the Talmud as himself; and then listened to bim when he showed in the Old Testament the declarations of the prophets regarding a suffering Saviour. The Hacham's main objection to Christianity was Isaiah lxv. 4, "a people that eat swine's flesh."t Mr. Caiman showed him that this was not a reference to Christians, for the people spoken of "sacrifice in gardens," &c. The Karaites seem to be preserved as living witnesses against the Talmud, in the very seat of its former dominion and its birthplace.

STRIKING SIMILARITY IN THE MAIN FEATURES OF JUDAISM AND TOrlRT, PROVING THAT THEY HAVE ONE AUTHOR.
The object of both the systems of Judaism and Popery, is to lead men to go about to establish their own righteousness, and thus prevail upon them to live, and die without submitting to the righteousness of God. In the system of Judaism, the working of Satan is seen in excluding Christ, and offering the sinner a substitute for him: in Popery, his work is seen in including Christ, yet still presenting a substitute for him. On the forehead of both is written— Mystery or Iniquity.

It is not safe to give the people at large the plain text of Scripture. And the prayers must be read in Latin, not in the vernacular tongue.

There is great merit in giving alms, and in prayers, pilgrimages, and other good works.
There is a purgatory. The beat of men must be purged after death, instead of at once entering into heaven.
8
No man can be sure of salvation till the very hour of death. Therefore he must try to make his vague hope somewhat surer by every means which the priests and the Church choose to point out.

Prayer for the dead is useful to free
the soul from purgatory. Therefore,
after you die, we will pray for you,
if you pay us for doing to.

Prayers to dead saints and to the Virgin Mary, are of great benefit in time of trouble.
The plain grammatical sense of Scripture is to be taught to few. And we must never use any but Hebrew prayers, however few may understand them.

"Alms deliver from death." There is merit to be stored up by prayers, pilgrimages, feasts and fasis. "Touch not, taste not, handle not." 7
The Jew after death, must undergo atrial of fire, and roll under the earth to the Valley of Jeboshaphat.
8 No Jew in this life can come to a settled hope of acceptance; wherefore, be must use every means that the rabbis choose to appoint to make his hope surer.
The rabbis require a present for giving you advice, praying for your dead friends, &.c.

"May God remember the soul of my honoured father A. B., wbo is gone to bis repose; for that I now solemnly vow charity for his sake. In reward of this may his soul be bound up in the bundle of life." This is a prayer at the Feast of Tabernacles.

•• Heretics and Epicureans go down to hell and are Judged for ever."
Such is a specimen of the coincidence between the doctrines of Judaism and those of Popery, and the instances could easily be multiplied, proving to a demonstration that both systems proceed from the Father of lies, the great adversary of Christ, and of the souls of men. Of the great mass of the deluded people under both systems, it may truly be said, "God has sent them strong delusion that they should believe a lie," while their priests and rulers subject themselves to that sentence from the lips of Christ—u Wo unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in."
