negroes in the United States; and in the West Indies; nor in the case of the serfs in Russia.

One of the effects of the emancipation of the Jews was their admission to schools and colleges, and we note

the following results:

1. In Berlin recently out of 3,609 students 1,302 were Jews.

2. In the High Schools of Vienna lately out of 2,488 students 1,039 were Jews.

3. In Lower Austria recently out of 2,140 advocates 1,024 were Jews.

4. In Germany the Jews are one in 75 of the population but in the German Universities the Jews are one in 10.

5. In Hungary (1878-9) the Jews were 4% of the population, while in many of the Schools they are 75%. In

the whole kingdom 18% of the students at the Schools are Jews; 36% at the Colleges and 25% of the Faculty

of Law!

6. We cannot count the names of Jews who are renowned in the Literary, Educational and Musical worlds.

In Berlin out of 23 newspapers there are only 2 not under Jewish control. At a gathering of Editors lately in

Dresden 29 out of 43 were Jews. And in Austria at the last census, out of 370 persons who returned

themselves as Authors 225 were Jews (nearly two -thirds).

7. In England out of 20,000 clergy of the Church of England, 200 are Jews -- and thus one in 100 Jews are

Clergymen as against one Gentile in 1,300!

8. In the political world, we cannot enumerate the many names of renown, in all countries. While the number

of seats held in various parliaments is out of all proportion compared with the smallness of their numbers to

the whole population.

V. INCREASE IN NUMBERS. Isa. lx. 22. "A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong

nation: I the Lord will hasten it in His time," so also Isa. xxvii. 6: Jer. xxx. 27 and Ezek. xxxvi. 37. These of

course refer to Millenial days: but, when we remember how terribly the number of Jews decreased during

seventeen centuries, and contrast the wonderful increase in recent years, it seems almost miraculous, and

certainly leads us to reflect whether these prophecies are not beginning to be fulfilled. For 1800 years God

has done as He said He would:-- "watch over them to destroy and afflict." If this sudden and marvellous

change has taken place, has He not ceased to "watch" for this purpose, and begun to "hasten" their

1. In 1708 the Jewish population was estimated at 3,000,000. To-day they are not less than 12,000,000.

2. In Germany, as to Birt hs, the proportion of Jews to Gentiles is as 5.5 to 3.8. And as to longevity, at

Frankfurt (1846-1858) one quarter of the Gentile population died before reaching seven years of age, while

one-quarter of all the Jews not till 28 1/4 years of age. One-half of all Gentiles born, died before reaching 36

1/2 years, while one-half of all Jews born survived to 53 years of age. Three-quarters of all Gentiles born died

before 60 years of age, but Jews not before 71.

3. In Prussia (1816-1867) the whole population in creased 91%, but the Jews 112%.

4. In Austria -Galicia (1820-1870) the population increased 25%, but the Jews 150%.
