the loudest-who shall raise his voice to those angelic notes, Alleluia, salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, be unto the Lord our God.' May every one present, for I would not willingly omit one, join in that song!"

The Rev. Dr. MARSH made the following remarks respecting the late Bishop Alexander :

"I must be permitted to allude to the melancholy reflection induced by that part of the Report which recalled our attention to him who has been removed to a better world, our dear brother the late Bishop of Jerusalem. I had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Alexander before his conversion to Christianity. I had the still greater pleasure of knowing him and of enjoying his friendship after that most interesting event, and the joy of witnessing his Christian. course down to nearly the day of his death. Verily he died in a desert, but he was transplanted to a Paradise. There was once a false prophet who was constrained to pronounce a blessing upon Israel, but he had not the love of them in his heart, and his desire was to curse God's people. But my beloved friend Dr. Alexander was no false prophet, and his heart was filled with a love for Israel. He died the death of the righteous; his wish was gratified because he died in the discharge of his labour of love; and oh, may the last end of all here present be like unto his ! May we all die in the spirit in which he died, for his last act was an act of prayer! I, my Lord, can only wish that your Lordship, the Right Rev. Prelates, all the Rev. officers of the Society, and all here present, may enjoy the same blessed faith, the same same blessed hope, the same blessed life that he did."

A VOICE OF "GOD SPEED."

"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace!"-ISA. lii. 7.

Go from beside the ancient Nile,

Go from the Nubian deserts old,
Go to where green the pastures smile,
Beneath the Syrian mountains bold;
Where ages long hath Jordan rolled
His waters 'neath the verdant boughs,
And Arab shepherds o'er the wold
Have led their roving herds to browse.
Go take the staff and take the sway
Of one who bore the crosier well,
But whom his God hath called away,
No more to rule in Israel:
Go thou, who in a distant land

The standard of the cross hast set,
Go home to that paternal strand
The Jewish heart can ne'er forget.
Father in God, go up in peace!

Thy Fathers' God up with thee go;
Make in thy hands the flock increase,
And alien hearts thy mission know.
Go build thou up the broken walls,
The paths to dwell in go restore,
Until through long forsaken halls

The voice of joy resound once more.
Who knows? the time may not be long
When He who scattered Israel
Shall gather him, and call the throng
Of wanderers in one fold to dwell!
But, be they many, be they few,
The flock of God, oh! do thou tend,
And may thy doctrine as the dew
Upon the parched ground descend!

BRIEF ACCOUNT OF RABBI ABRAHAM JACOB SCHWARTZENBERG.*

It is often said by the Jews, that those of their nation who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, are either ignorant men, who know nothing of the Jewish religion, or destitute men, who profess Christianity, because they hope to gain money by the exchange of one creed for another. Doubtless there are many ignorant men called to the knowledge of a Saviour, and many poor men, who have little to lose by becoming Christians; but by far the greater number of God's ancient people, who believe in the true Messiah, the Lord Jesus, are men of Jewish learningmen who suffer much, both in the loss of worldly goods and in the tearing asunder all the ties that bound the warmest hearts together.

The following short history contains a few particulars of one who, though well versed in

The Phylacteries on the forehead and arm, and the Vail (Talith) are given in the print of Rabbi Abraham, in order to make plain the manner in which they are worn by the Polish Jews, in their synagogues, at the morning service. These were, of course, not used by the Rabbi when he had become a Christian, though, for the reasons stated in the above brief account, he retained his Jewish dress.
