Bucharest, the Rev. Joseph Mayers, Mr. P. Davis, Mr. S. Mayers, a Schoolmaster and Schoolmistress.

In AUSTRIA, one station only can be occupied this is Cracow, where the Rev. L. Hoff and Mr. Stockstiel reside, and endeavour to avail themselves of the opportunities of instructing the Jews, which this important locality affords.

In

In POLAND, four Stations are occupied, viz., Warsaw, Lublin, Suwalki and Petrikau. these places ten missionaries are labouring. Poland has been called the Northern Hive of the Jews. There they reside in vast numbers, and exhibit all the industry of a bee. There Jewish learning flourishes, or at least there very many of their learned rabbies live, men who spend the whole of life in the study of the law of Moses and the traditions of their fathers. In this country the missionary can always command an audience, generally attentive, to whom to deliver his message and with whom he may converse on the great theme which it contains.

Another important sphere of labour is the GRAND DUCHY OF POSEN. In this, there are three missionary stations, Posen, Lissa and Gnesen. The Society has also eleven schools in this Duchy. The number of Missionaries employed in the three stations is four, besides the eleven Schoolmasters.

EAST PRUSSIA has two of the Society's stations, Danzig and Königsberg; in which there are three Missionaries and a Colporteur.

In CENTRAL PRUSSIA, Berlin and Stettin, two stations, are occupied by four Missionaries and two Colporteurs.

In SILESIA, the Society has Missionaries, and

two Assistants at Breslau; one Missionary resident at Gothenburg, for SWEDEN and DENMARK; a Missionary and Colporteur at Amsterdam, and a Colporteur at Rotterdam, for HOLLAND.

In the RHINE DISTRICT and FRANCE, there are Frankfurt-on-the-Maine, Creuznach, and Strasburg, as stations, in which three Missionaries and two Colporteurs are engaged in the great missionary work.

In NORTH AFRICA, Mr. H. A. Markheim finds a very wide and difficult field of labour. The ignorance, the poverty, and the depressed condition of the Jews in Morocco are very deplorable: but yet, these can be raised and enlightened and made rich by the unsearchable riches of Christ.

We thus have a satisfactory answer to the second question, and see that many fields of labour are occupied by the means of many agents; and that the Committee keep in view, as the one work which they have to accomplish, the great object of the Society, "promoting Christianity amongst the Jews."

We must answer the two remaining questions next month,What has been the result? What are the prospects of the Society for the future?

The greater part of the missionaries and agents employed by the Society, are Christian Israelites. The number thus engaged is an encouragement, and a token for good. They have most of them "endured hardness as good soldiers of Jesus Christ;" and in the midst of trials and losses, continued faithful in their profession of faith in Him. Sustain them, and all who are labouring for Christ, O reader, by thy prayers! We com

plain too often of seeing such small success. We pray but too seldom for His blessing, without which success cannot come.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

I. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS:

By what means did God accomplish his purpose of separating Israel from the rest of the nations:-(1) In Egypt; (2) In the wilderness; (3) In their own land; (4) In their captivities? A young correspondent, who signs himself A SCHOOL-BOY," replies to these questions as follows:

1. In Egypt God separated the Israelites by making them dwell apart in the land of Goshen, and by causing their occupation to be that of shepherds, which was an abomination to the Egyptians; so that they would not mix with the Israelites. Gen. xlvi. 34.

2. In the wilderness God kept them separate by always dwelling amongst them, and by not suffering them to move without being guided by the pillar of cloud or of fire. Exodus xiii. 21.

3. In their own land by making a law against their intermarrying with other nations. Deut.

vii. 3.

4. In their captivities by their strict religious rites, which forbad their eating with or joining in the customs of other nations. Dan. i. 8; Lev. xi. 44; Josh. xxiii. 12.

Several of our young friends have sent satisfactory replies to the above questions and also, to the three which followed. We will just add an outline of their replies to these.

1. The children of Israel received the name of, or are called, Jews first, in 2 Kings xvi. 6. King Rezin drave "the Jews" out of Elath.

2. The children of Israel were condemned to wander so long through wilderness :

(1.) On account of unbelief. Heb. iii. 17-19. Thus they became a warning to us. Heb iv. 11. (2.) To humble them and to prove them, and make them know what evil there was in their hearts. Deut. viii. 2.

(3.) As a punishment for believing the men who brought up a false report of the promised land. Numbers. xiv. 23.

3. Why were the Jews carried captives to Babylon?

1. To punish them for the wickedness, and especially for the idolatry of both kings and people. 2 Kings xxiv; Jer. xxv. 6—8.

In proposing questions, we shall be glad of variety. Any relating to the geography of the Bible, or its natural history; any relating to Jewish manners or customs, as illustrating passages of Scripture, will be very acceptable. Only let them be proposed and answered by our young

friends.

Amongst the questions sent for September are the following:

1. Why were the children of Israel slaves to the Egyptians four hundred years?

2. Why was every shepherd an abomination to the Egyptians?

3. Why did Ephraim, the younger son, receive the first and greater blessing?

4. Name a Jewish prophet who was sent as a missionary to the heathen, who although unwill ing, was successful?

5. Name a passage where we are told of a debt due to the Jews, which is yet undischarged? 6. What is the origin and meaning of the word "Jew?"

7. On what prophetic grounds do the Jews still expect their Messiah?

8. How many festivals were the Israelites commanded to keep in the course of the year?

9. Who were the ancient inhabitants of Jerusalem, and when did Judah obtain possession of that city?

10. What is the earliest mention of Jerusalem in the Bible?

*The editor will be glad of replies by the 11th or 12th of the month, addressed to 16, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London.

MISSIONS TO THE JEWS.

Death of a Missionary.

A MISSIONARY who had laboured for many years in the work of preaching the Gospel to the Jews, Mr. Rosenfeldt,-has recently been called to the rest and the reward of Christ's faithful people. He was himself a Jew, converted to the faith of the once despised Messiah. He was baptized at Warsaw, in September, 1828; and for a quarter of a century maintained an unspotted character, and during most of it laboured for the good of his brethren after the flesh. His end was peace. A brother missionary, who attended him in his last illness, informs us that he died conscious that he was dying; that shortly before his death he raised his ice-cold hand to heaven, and said: "No longer to this life;
