The Jewish Faith. We have heretofore noticed the completion and dedication of the Jewish Temple in Cincinnati, which is pronounced the moat elegant and costly structure in the West, and probably without a superior in America. It has cost $250,000, and has been built and paid for by the contributions of one congregation alone. This congregation belongs to what are called the New School among the Jews, who, as we understand, it look for no personal Messfah tfr any return of the Jews to Palestine. Their Messiah is universal civil and religious liberty. The following extracts from the discourses of the occasion will be interesting to our readers and an exhibition of their peculiar views on some points. Dr. Lilien'thal, who pronounced the Preliminary Discourse, gave utteranoe to the following sentiments : We believe there ia a God ; one in

divisible, spiritual, eternal, most holy aud most perfect. We believe in a future state of existence, where the riddles of this life will be solved, and God's power and wisdom lead all his children, without distinction of race or creed, to salvation and perfection, we believe the command, love thy fellow men, again without any distinction, whatever, as thyself to be the most sacred and most important of all teachings. These are our doctrines, to which we have sworn ; this is our creed, to which we have unswervingly stood; this is the religion to the worship of which we-are dedicating this house of Slory; and a dispassionate, unprejuiced age readily acknowledges this creed is not dead, for there is life, and light, and truth in its solemn teachings. H Again, brethren, the Lord said: "There shall be light?" The dark night of religious hatred and persecution has passed away ; the time when man, for the sake of his religious opinions, was considered excommunicated by the Church and outcast by society, is gone; and it augurs bad for the future of any creed which is still resolved upon clinging to such obsolete midiseval animosities. It was a long struggle that had to be fought between the established powers and the young rising giant of liberty of conscience; but it was iought and won. Like Jacob of old wrestled during a long night with the spirit of darkness, conquering him at the dawn of day, so the human race has wrestled and conquered. AndT as he then marched on to meet, not a hating and revengeful, but a reconciled brother, who, in loving embrace, exclaimed: " Brother keep yours: I have got enough myself, ' so we are pushing on our ways, reconciled and united as a brotherly band. Dr. Wise, the Pastor of the congregation, followed with a discourse on the following words, being the 117th Psalm : " Praise God, all ye nations ; praise Him, all ye people. For great is His merciful kindness toward us; and the truth of God endureth forever. Hallelujah." The following extracts will show the general drift of his thoughts : It is with special thanksgiving that your humble brother, in mis solemn moment, approaches the throne of f;lory. After twenty years of ardent abor to Americanize Judaism, to neutralize the heritage of Israel on the vigin soil of freedom, to reconcile religion and to re-attach the redeemed and free Israel to the progress of humanity, its common and sacred interests after twenty years of labor in this new and fertile field, I live to see this large and respected congregation erect this proud monument to those very doctrines and principles for which I lived, and with which I hope to die. n i -s&uan ' - " ' M We dedicate this temple to the worship of God, for the sons and daughters of Israel first to assemble here, and praise the Lord of Hosts with song and psalter. Let this mighty organ pour fourth solemn melodies. Let this band of masterly vocalists chant the Psalms of Israel, as our ancestors praised the everlasting God. Let happy hearts be united here into one grand chorus, and worship the God of our fathers with solemn hymns and exulting psalms. Let each soul rise oh the golden wings of faith and confidence to the throne of light and truth, and returned cleansed of all earthly dust, purified of all that is dark, small or narrow, sanctified with the divine and eternal, pervaded of heavenly goodness and wisdom; and return to weeping humanity an angel of consolation, a haringer of glad tidings, from the throne of grace, strong in virtue, mighty in goodness, ana great in love this is our object of divine worship, the first object of this temple, and a leading principle of modern Israelites. 2. In the second place, the divine bard, whose sublime words we exfound, limits not his exhortation to srael; he invokes all nations and tongues to sing the praise of the Almighty. The glorious privilege to worship God, like the capacity of knowing and appreciating truth, is the birthright of every human being. " From the rising of the sun to the seting thereof, the name of the Lord is praised." Next to the sublime aoctrine of God and His attributes, this is a jardinal point in Israel's religion : Mankind will be redeemed from the oppressive burden of error. "God will be king over all the earth. That day

God will be one and His name one," the prophet announces. It is not sectarianism, this or that particular creed, this or that, system of dogmas ; it is much more the creed of all creeds, the elements of universal religion, that which is dear to every believing soul, and reason ! itself must accept as the ultimatum of thought; it is universal religion and universal salvation for which Israel lived and sacrificed so many martyrs, and which must be taught first and foremost in this and every other temple of Israel, because it is our life and the prolongation of our days. In the essence of religion and the substance of ethics, there can exist no real difference of opinion among enlightened men; we differ with the rest of mankind only in that which was added to our heritage. We differ where reason differs from the dogma, or where the creed is adverse to the genius of religion. Where religion, reason, dogma, and creed are a unity, we fully agree with the rest of mankind. We hold, however, that these are the only points from which the religion of future generations will be constructed, and therefore maintain that we possess, and have preserved during all the ages of darkness and tumult, the pure elements of universal religion. This was and is the mission of Israel, the Messianic vocation of God's chosen people, the very cause of its preservation and existence. Here again we must notice a difference between synagogue and temple, the old and the new school in Israel. Our older brethren likewise know and understand that we possess the elements of universal religion, and that Israel's hope is based upon the final triumph of truth. But Judaism, having been, for so many centuries, a persecuted and derided religion, little known to the choicest disciples of theology, misrepresented by many, and unknown to the multitudes, our sires naturally came to believe that Israel himself could not possibly fulfil his mission, and the final triumphant truth must be achiev

ed by mirjpes, as though the natural course of history was not marvelous enough. Israel was rendered altogether passive, and his mission was placed in the hands of the Messiah, a son of David, who, together with the miracles which God would design to work for him, should effect the redemption of mankind, and the final triumph of truth, freedom and justice. Therefore they desire the separation of Israel from the Gentile world, and lay the chief stress, not upon the elements of universal religion, but upon laws and observances which characterize Israel as a peculiar and distinct people, which one day will return to Palestine to be governed by the Messiah. We maintain, that God works no miracles. True wisdom never changes, alters or amends its plans, or suspends its own laws. History abundantly testifies to the steady progress of humanity, justice, good will, reason and truth. Once arbitrary despots governed the family of man; now liberty extend its dominion with every passing day. Once man was a st anger outside of his tribe and the small territory which it occupied; , now the American is no stranger iu Japan or India, and the Chinese feels himself at home on our soil. So justice and freedom progress, and the human family is fraternized without any par ticular miracle. Where in former. days the wretched slave trembled be fore his taskmaster, there the inalien able rights of man are now protected and respected. Where the poor and needy starved, or, creeping in tne aust, Deggea a miserable morsel of bread, there are now plenty of hospitals, poor houses. asylums for widows and orphans, and benevolent societies, bo philanthrophy progresses without any particular miracle. The triumphs of science over igno rance, ot philosophy over superstition of right over might, of reason and light over darkness, are so numerous that we are lorced to the conclusion that God leads us in a natural course of events to the final triumph of truth, and this is also the final triumph of Israel. - Ihe course of history points not to the restoration of Israel to Palestine; it points to the restoration ot mankind to one good and eniight ened family. The course of his tory promises no king to Israel; it promises ireedom to all. Having no Palestine, no Messiah, and no miracles; we have a country where we are, and brothers where good men dwell, and the mission of Israel returns to IsraeJ him self. Therefore we put much less stress on peculiar observances and laws, and much more on the elements of universal religion and the mission ot Israel. iu4 8fHT!:)H:iflff fti 1S3TEW STOCK.
