Jerusalem and the East Mission.

On Good Friday we pray, m one of the Collects for the Day, that God will have mercy on all Jews, and take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of His Holy Word. How many of us really take any practical interest iv the conversion oi the Jews ? We commiend to the faithful the Mission of our Church working for this end under Bishop Blyth. The Bishop asks for help to carry on the following work with a staff of 66 workers, of whom 15 are m Priests' Orders, and two are Doc-, tors :—..'. 1.
