A wire dispatch datelined Berlin, June 9 (year not given), reports an interview with Pastor Roden, a Spanish missionary in Berlin to revise the Abyssinian version of the Bible for the British Foreign Bible Society. Roden describes Abyssinian Hebrews as dark-skinned descendants of the children of Israel possessing full Hebrew national and facial characteristics despite their color; regarded contemptuously by Abyssinians proper for lacking warlike qualities and following trade pursuits; having outgrown the Hebrew language despite adherence to the Jewish religion; showing no inclination to affiliate with Hebrews elsewhere or to emigrate; and having no sympathy for the Zionist movement. General ethnographic background for the Abdullah research strand's coverage of black/Abyssinian Jewish identity; names no individual traveller and makes no connection to Neville Goddard or to Abda'llah Guillaume.
