It ap. pears that there are two subdivisious of 'he reform party, the reformers and ,he radicals. The latter have re iounoed the favorite dogmas cherish >d by orthodox Israelites, the advent ( > a Messiah to reign as king over the Y luly Land, the return of the Jows to rl P,lcstine, and adherence to dietary aws.
