Excitement among the Jews.
THE Indian Portugera, a Portuguese journal published at Goa, says a great excitement has been caused among the Jews at Bombay by the issue by their pontiff, H. B. Koyn, who has lately arrived from Jerusalem, of a pamphlet entitled, “The Voice of the Vigilant”—the object of this voice being to persuade the Jews that it is useless waiting longer for the promised Messiah, as this is Jesus Christ himself, “whose doctrines have been spread all over the world without sound or force. Compare,” says the pontiff, “the Old and New Testaments, and the truth will be seen.” He says that he was born in the old law, and under it was elevated to the pontificate, but the light had already penetrated with its rays into the deep recesses of his mind, and he is therefore persuaded, and with well-founded reasons, that it is in vain that the Messiah is now looked for. —Guide to Holiness.
