The Jews IN Jerusalem count
among the signs OF their repossession
OF their old abode the fultilment OF
one OF prophesies by the concessions
the Turkish government has just made
to an English company for the Eu-
pirates valley railway, and to a
French company for line from Jaffa
to Jerusalem. The Euphrates rail-
way is to intersect the former prov.
inces of Assyria and Babylonia, and
have stations at Mosul and Hillel, near
which are Assyrian and Babylonian
ruins. 1t is expected that eventually
a junction will be effected between
the Euphrates line and the Egyptian
railways, which would confirm Isaiah
xix. %; "Iu that day there shall be a
highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and
the Assyrian shall come into Egypt
and the Egyptian into Assylia, and
the Egyptians shall serve with the
AssyriAns. Il Exchange.
