The organization of a society of Christians and Jews is being carried on in Miskolcz with the intention of developing it as a Federation extending throughout the country. A meeting will be held at Miskolcz early in September with representatives from Budapest. Nyiregyhaza, Debreczen and other places present. The leaders of the movement are Julius Roeck, a Roman Catholic and Arthur Sigti, a Jew.

The movement has no conversionist aims. It is intended to work along the same lines as the similar movements in America, England and Germany, to seek to bring about an understanding between Jews and Christians.

There are in Miskolcz several hundred Christians and about twenty Jews who are interested in the movement.
