THE Committee issuing the call for a conference on lsrael statid their object to be a desire to give information and promote a spiri . t .. d , inquiry therefor, on the basis of mutual kindness betwe. en jdwh d Christians. The convention was not planned with a view to proseiiiizing or. lii,.. expectancy that the immediate result would chacge Christian to Jew oc ewko Christian. It was known, however, that a vast amount of prejudice existed on both sides, and this, it was hoped, the conference might, in part at least, be the means of removing. This hope is cherished not only with reference to the large audiences attending the sessions, but with respect to that larger audience which it is anticipated will read these papers in their printed form. It was a new departure as contrasted with the centuries of antipathy and ecclesiastical contention heretofore characterizing these peoples. Having the Old Testament in common, it was conceived that they could meet upon this grand fundamental rock of Gods revelation to man as CO-worshipers of one God. The speakers were given the utmost liberty in the expression of their views fully from their individual standpoints, and the only request made was that they should do so in considerate language and a kind spirit. Neither Jew nor Gentile was asked or expected to do violence to his convictions, but all were desired to remember the meekness of the Lawgiver and the tenderness of the Author of the sermon on the mount. The result has been most gratifying, as evidenced by comments in the press and private communications received by the committee from various parts of the country. The Jew will no doubt refuse to accept all the statements made by the Christian essayists and the Christian will certainly claim the same right of private opinion. Some may question the wisdom of convening such a conference, or of placing in more permanent form the papers there presented to such the only reply is, the Committee are sincere in their purpose and pure in their desire, longing for the dawning of that day when all who worship the true God may see truth without a mist, and, substituting love for hatred, hasten a Messianic era. - ON - THE--Future of Israel Jewe and Christians Participating. programme.
