developing Il result Of the celebrated s.
Mission to blast, undertaking by
Sir Moses Montefore distinguished : :
Hebrew Of England, together with an :
account fhis interview with the Suit
an Of Turkey, and the proclamation
of that Sovereign 10 favor of the He
brews, throughout the whole extent OF
the Empire We give them as Gu
rious history Of certain events IN The
present aga.
II was in the fourth century before
the birth Of Christ thatthe first procla-
nation in favor Of the Jews was issued
from Susan, by Cyrus, the King OF
Persia directing the children olthe cap
tiyity 10 return to Judah, and to re-
build the House Of the Lord at Jeru-
salem. From that period up to the
present, we do not believe that more
important event has. taken place, affect
inc the destiny Of the ancient paople
Of God. Sultan Abdel Medjid has
issued his proclamation not Bodybuilding
a house with hands, TO the glory oflhe
God ofIsraeIbutto construct house
offaith and justice-to establish hab-
itation of human rights-a building
that cannot be broken down by the
prediudices Of the unbeliever or the
Gentle.
1t would seem that the predictions
of the sublimes TO fall the ancient proph-
cts, Isaiah, were at length coming TO
pass. See Isaiah, pass n.
It's estimated that the number Of
the Jewish people throughout the
world amount TO 100000, Of which
one half are in Asia. In the present
state Of the world, both Christian anC
Mahometan, all the scattered portions
can communicate with each otheI
nd act as one peoploe TO whom thu
literature and religion oftheir ances
TOYS have been committed for SAFE
keeping till the end ofall things. Th'
Firman of the Turkish Sultan, cover
ing the land of their birth, and coup
led with the possession OF Acre by tn
English and the recent Termination
{ the war in Syria, would seem to in
dictate that the Hebrews are to play al
important part in the future history
of the world Their Messiah is com
ing-their ancient temple is buildin
but not as they imagine or though
Civilization, intelligence, the press
morals, all mental and physical in
provements are giving the Jews a ne
and elevated position in the worlC
Their Messiah is truly coming in ii
shape Of light and acknowledgement
a conquerer or TEMPORAL monarcI
Their temple is rebuilding, not wit
stones from the mountains, but in ii
shape Of new species Of national el
istence that acts as one people, thoug
spread over the whole world.
With these remarks the tollowir
may be read by Christians as the IL
flment, 10 part, Of the wonderful pr
piction Of Isaiah and the prophets.
The following is from a letter
