The American Bible Society, which bore the expense of these editions, also authorized the printing of a Hebrew and Hebrew-German version of the Old Testament, for the German Jews.
The testimony of Mr.Schauffler is so explicit on a point of great importance in a mission of the Jews, as to justify the following quotation:-- "My own observation from the first, has established this fact, that whenever a Jew is truly converted, the hope of seeing all Israelites settled in Canaan sinks to the level of many other secondary ideas; and Christ and him crucified,--Christ risen, ascended, and reigning in glory, Christ and his kingdom, wherever its centre may be,--becomes the all-absorbing theme.

In other words, such Jews I have always observed to be just what true converts among ourselves are; differing from us only in this, that they cherish that desire for the conversion of Israel, which we ought also to cherish, and of which Paul has left so splendid an example.

Half-converted men, in whom the carnal pride of the old Pharisee has never been broken down by a divinely wrought sense of the guilt of unbelief in Christ, who, when they were baptized, thought they did Christ and his people an honor; these, of course, never fail to consider themselves as something special in the kingdom of Christ, and they expect to be treated by Him accordingly.

These make an exception.

There are, also, truly converted men among the proselytes, who cherish that notion.
