The most recent movement in this small section of Russia is the religious awakening of the Jews who settled in Bessarabia many years ago, being driven there by the pressure of persecution, and leading a quiet life, saying nothing as the lash came down upon them. From one step to another this religious reformation has proceeded, all the while approaching Christianity, until now it is a strong and still growing work, and in all essential respects, save only organic unity, is allied with the Christian church. It has already attracted the attention of inquiring minds in western Europe, and threatens to extend into the hitherto firm body of Judaism, and awaken intense Christian aspirations and sympathies in the Jewish mind throughout the world. Delitzsch, of Leipzig University, has given some account of the general features of the revolution in his _Documente der National-jüdischen Christgläubigen Bewegung in Südrussland_, but the most that has been written has thus far been in fugitive form, in the Slavic periodicals of the Danubian principalities. The whole affair has taken place in such an obscure country, and so far removed from the busy centers of European thought and life, that it has not had time to get into the permanent field of literature. Its leaders have been so little accustomed to rely on the press, or to take it into view as a means of propagating their opinions, that in this new phase of their work they have depended simply on the justice of their cause and the firm principles which they believe underlie it. From various sources, and especially from the Rev. Dr. Kleinheim, of Bucharest, who has been a resident of this far-off city about twenty years, and is probably better acquainted with the internal working of Judaism in eastern and southern Europe than any other man, I have gathered the most of the data which I herewith present to your readers. This gentleman has spent his life in trying to christianize the Jews of Moldavia and Wallachia, and his labors have been remarkably successful. He has been kind enough to answer all my inquiries, and to open to me some of the interior views of this important and unique movement which could not have been secured at a distance.
