NIGHT. “THE RABBINICAL CONFERENC:.” Lectare by Mr. M. Ellinger. A lecture on the avove subject was delivered by Mr. 31. linger last evening before the Loazteilow Literary Associaiion at Association Hall, corner of Twenty-third street aud Fourth avenue, where an mucligent audience had assembled to listen to the remarks o1 the lecturer, The lecturer said that mo event bad caused so much commotion uring hia cen- tury as the convention of Jewish Rabois hetd in Puiadelphia in November iast ihe old observanges of the Jews were beginaing now to ve disregarded and their laws violated. The oid law prohiviting certain food as unclean was now commonly broken. In our own country Jews were most valiant 1a arms. Few there were, however, who, if tke question were put to them whether it would be advantageous or proper for the Jews to become united agam as a politieal body, would nob answer that such an expectation would be an assumption too preposterous to entertain, Since the bar of fanaticism and priesteraft whieh dwelt over tue Jews haa been removed, and they were allowed a place in the great Held of liberty, the Jewish people were progressing and keeping time with the spirit of the age. ‘The congregations in Germany heretwiore were so divided aimoug themseives that a reform coud not be introduced. shzit as the enauges were that tne relormers proposed, such as the aboli- tion of the recital of loag Hebrew poems aud making certain changes in tie synagogue, which hal no drect bearing on reii- won,’ they found it didicuic. to enect them, In iact Judaism knew of no compromise. Whea the rabbis wish to €xpreas their opinion of one of their laws they sgy it Was Ordained by Moses: on Mount Binal; but ortacdoxy compelied belief and Bent Out its Hat insisting ou peculiar aociriues, Opposed to ortaodoxy was retort. The whole history of the Jewish religion proved that circum- Blances creuied new laws and abolished old ones, He could show that in olden umes the ravbis were the most radical reformers, The principles of the Kabbinical Contereace were fora numb-r of years adopted in fliveen of tbe principal cities of the Old World. He contended that civilization and is accompanying Uiessings sprang from the Jewish peopie in the heart of Israel, aad that they trans inltved the Magna Onarta which they rece ved frum Mount Sina dvWa to the generations of te whote word. But now, when they were no longer @ qistnct class of people, they longed not ior a return to Palestine. A redvemer was cummg In the suave of civilization aud progress, wiih watca they were keeping pace, and Which im the end wouid show that the humanizing of Gud and the deifying of man was wroog, ‘The Jewish peopie hud @ inission—as Moses had a missian—as Sha. speare had a mnission—as Columbus had a mission— as Washingion had a mission—as Lincoln had a isston; but the consciousnesss of haviny a mission hallowed (the Jewisb race, Without it they had no Tignt to existence; with it they became the priesus of hawauity, ‘The tendency of the age was to return to the jaws of Moses. Man’s soul was but o spark of the spirit of God. Chrisuanity made the resur- rection of the boly o powerful engine to control passion as its personified devil, But that superati- won would die a natural death in the crusaing em- brace of civilizauoo. The speaker then alludes to the resioration of the Hebrew language, aud de- clared that prayer was only the inp pene of thought, and heace it must be in the juage in Which pan was apt to think, otverwise it was mummery. ‘be Jewish maritai jaws were aiterwards ailudea to, and Lue lectucer ciused His remarks @uKist applause.
