238 THE ISRAELITE. VOLUME 4. contempt, until you stop lieing, and resort to an honest trade. You are a scandal to this country and an outrage to a free press. You scandalize Christiunity and Judaism by your lies, throw a slur upon your brother and contempt on all religion.

Now, sir, if you did not sink too deep into the mire of rascality, turn round and become honest men. Your present proCession is a disgrace. Return to like King Menussah, confoss your ains, shake off the devil's chains from your necks and return to God. I do not know, whether your brethren can forgive you the malignity you whow them; but I know that God forgives iniquity, transgression and sin. PITTSBURG, January 21, 1858.

Rev. Isaac M. Wise. In the last number, January 15th, of your most valuable Israelite, I see a letter pub. lished by an Observer, telling you, in a rather rejoicing manner, about a failure of establishing a school in this city, independent of any Congregation, and he thinks if the Congregations here should unite such 8 school could be established.

Now, Mr. Editor, the fact and the truth is this: In the first place OBSERVER, (I know him well,) was the very first person who established the first opposition congregation in this place; after they were a few years in existence, OBSERVER, with some of his friends, tried to unite the two congregations, in which they succeeded; and after they have been two years together, (in which OBSERVER wasone year President) OBSERVER WAs one of the first who caused the Congregation to be seperated again, but not before they had their burying ground finely repaired at a cost of $175, the Scrolls of Law and all the Synagogue fixtures in their power, and the other party had to commence anew. Now, OBSERVER wants to unite again, and for this reason, his party is not longer able to keep up a congregation; but the other party are peaceable citizens, and want DO OBSERVER, nor any Observers, because they know them by this time too well, and all now is that OBSERVER and bis party most regret that they did not get the other party's burying ground, which is very valuable, and I suspect very much they are after it now. For these reasons OBSERVER with his party are very hard at work against the establishment of a School; they think by that means to force a consolidation, in which they are very much mistaken, at least as long as OBSERVER resides in Pittsburg, or plays the hypocrite. Then your must know, Mr.

Editor, OBSERVER himself don't care a fig for Congregations or Hebrew schools, but he knows that he must die some time, and wants a burying place, and, as long as he lives, likes to have some honorable employment, such 08 President of a Congregation or School Director and the like, and a person must show at least some religion for such employments. Now, Mr. Editor, as to the School itself, we had contemplated to establish a first rate school hore, where religion as well as all the common branches should be taught, and acccasible to all Minhagamites, and as there are about sixty Jewish families with no less than 50 children old enough to attend school, and every one able to pay his share, 80 we called a general meeting for that purpose, 601n0 time ago, and had a very good prospect OBSERVER was also present, ready with coat and gloves off, to act as ohuirman, or at least 08 secretary, but not being called for that service he was then only an observer, and not seeing any prospect for his scheme, sneaked, with his dupes, from the mecting, no doubt brewing vengeance on the poor children, and have in fact so far succeded; and the proof of it is, that not one of his party has joined us; but we have not yet given up tho good cause, and we will try to consummate yet our holy scheme in spite of all Observera. EXPLAINER. REPLY TO L.

OF P. Judaism is not eager to make converta, and accepts none, unless ho professes after fair instruction, to embrace it by conviction and free choice. As none can look into the hoart of others, we must, in this respect, depend on the confession of the proselyte and believe him, unless circumstances testify to the contrary. If the convert's former conduct was improper, sufficient of amendment must be given, before, he can be accepted. According to the Joreh Deah, there must be three learned Israelites 90 71 m2) (open to accept the convert into the Synagogue.

pa According to notice we are obliged to publish this weok the official communication from Albany. See Deborah. Give as Particulars. The Star in the West a liboral Universalist organ, in this city, in copying a paragraph from The Israelite says, at the conclusion: "Purify the Church of her pagan elements, let Christianity be proclaimed to men 88 it was proclaimed by the prophet of Nazareth, and the Jews will gradually be prepared to enter into the Christian Church. Original sin the reformers in the Church deny, and the vicarious sacrifice of Jesus; but in the spiritual redemption of the world by the grace manifested in Christ, Universalists, at least, fully, and joyfully believe.

The world must go back to Judaism as the foundation of the Church, and the Jews must advance to a higher state, finding the law a school master to bring them to Christ. "The law came by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." We, however, must say, Give us particuJars, in what respect you are advanced to a higher state than the Israelites. We think, that in rational theology pure ethics and Juridical principles Judaism stands higher than any other religious creed. These doctrines and principles may in some respect be embellished in forms and observances, but the embellishment changes not the nature of the essence. It took the Christian community fifteen centuries of the most fervent struggle, until its most enlightened members arrived at the conviction, that the Hebrew doctrine of the Unity is true, that God condemns none and punishes the wicked only to correct him, that no original sin lasts on man, and no vicarious sacrifice was necessary.

It will take them sereral more centuries to apprecinte the whole truth and embrace it cheerfully; for it is but half a century, that Christian scholars have the permission and boldness, to think for themselves. So we think, and ifwe are mistaken according to your views, please point to the particulars in which Judaism is behind any religious creed, in as far as the truth of the Bible or the claims of reason are concerned. You say, "The law came by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ;" WO say, please point to any particular grace or truth, revealed through the agency of Jesus or his apostles, of which our ancestors were not fully aware; show us one, just to satisfy us. Yes, we say, Moses stands yet on the summit of mount Sinai and summons all nations, to rise and ascend the mountain of the Lord, to be enlightened and elevated by divine truth, to be redeemed from the bondage of fiction, superstition, despotism and priestcraft, and to be fraternized before God in justice, liberty, truth and love. There ho stands yet and calls aloud on the nations, and will ever call, until they hear and semble before the Lord, to celebrate the grand feast of redemption and fraternity.

If we are mistaken, please to point to one particular in which we are mistaken. SHiLoh LODGE, No. 17, I. 0. B.
