BETuRN OF TIE Jews TO PALESTINE.
-Thcre are few current subjects gilmore
absorbing interest or of deeper signiti-
cancc than the EVENT. now almost daily
transpiring which point to the repos-
session by the Jews of their own land.
The tide Of progress, after lapse OF
centuries, may he said to have fairly
turned in that direction, but the prayer
now offered BY that chosen but now
scattered people, that "Judah may be
saved and Israel dwell securely, and
that the Rcdcemcr may come to Zion,
it is undoubtedly Fastening to fulfill
mcnt. The Sultan of Turkey is en-
couraging Jewish emigration to Palcs-
tine, and is offering to sell them as
much land as they choose to buy, and
it is said has even expressed his will.
ipgncss to dispose of the Mosque OF
Omar to them, which it will be rccol.
lccted, stands upon the very site of the
Jewish Temple on Mount Morah. This
mosque is one Of the Mohammcdans
most celebrated shrines, being scarcely
inferior in national Importance to those
of Mecca and Medina.
