The solidarity of the Jews, their unity in thought and action, is, as a matter of fact, entirely visionary. In the matter of re- ligious belief there are three clearly defined parties in Jewry. These are the orthodox, conservative and reform schools of thought. Even among these three divisions there are sub-divi- sions, not always clearly defined, but often in evidence on a number of issues of vital importance. The divisions are not as numerous as in the Christian world, which might afford some consolation were it not for the realization that the principal reason for this is that there are not so many Jews to divide. There are, it is true, only three distinct organizations of a de- nominational nature to denote and accentuate the differences that exist in the religious household of Israel. After a whole century of vigorous polemics the truth has dawned on the com- batants that it is always necessary to acknowledge accom- plished facts. It has also been recognized that the different .anches can act together in many religious matters. No doubt in due course this recognition will lead, as it certainly should, to substantial benefits to the cause of Judaism. ; $1.88 Per Pair Shen: Complete from 81/2 to 10 in nearly all Colors: Black, taupe, grey, navy, brown, champagne, white and many combinations. models.
