CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
IDENTITY OP JEWISH NATION THREATENED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright "Times" —Sydney "Sun" Special Cables, (Rec. November 4, 5.5 p.m.). London, November 4. Sir Philip Magnus, presiding at • a meeting _ of tho London University Zionist Society, said that ho recognised. that there was a possible danger of the Jews being gradually assimilated by the nations amongst whom they dwelt. This was largely dwe_ to tho prevalent indifference to religion, and tho Increasing number of mixed marriages was stimulating this indifference. An idea exercising a centripetal force,' tending to bind the Jews together, might possibly bo found. An endeavour to develop Jewish culture at somo centre was needed. Jerusalem, where tho finest literature which had a greater influence in tho world than any other had been produced, was an ideal place. Other speakers supported thg idea of a Hebrew University, on tho lines of the London University.
