THE TINE OF ISRAEL AP-
PREACHING.

neCleu himself believes that the
time approaches when the Lord viii
fulfil the covenant he made with
ancient Israel, by gathering the
remnants Of the race from their long
dispersion to the lands promised tc
their fathers. The symptoms that
were to precede that marvellous
work are accommodating. One OF
these indications is the development
Of 4 belief among the children Of
Abraham in the true Messiah. OF
course there are numerous other
symptomatic indications, but, owing
TO the universal rejection by the
peculiar people Of Jesus as the Re
deemer Of Israel, this is necessariIy
one Of the most conspicuous among
the signs. The Prophet Nephi,
speaking Of the coming forth Of the
Gospel in the latter times and con-
corning the gathering of the Jews,
says Book of Mormon, p. 10y
"And it shall come to pass that the
Jews which are scattered, also shall
begin TO believe in Christ; and they
shall begin to gather in upon the face
Of the land; and as many as shall be-
iieve in Christ, shall also become a
deIightsome people.

Lord God shall commence His work,

The book abOunds with predie-
tons in this particular line. The
sane Prophet-as occurs on page
lOS-also makes this declaration:
Wherefore, the Jews shall be scat
tered among all nations; yea, and also
Babylon shall be DESTROYED: where
ore, the Jews shall be scattered bv
o-her nations;
And after they have been scattered,
and the Lord God hath scourced them
by other nations, for the space Of many
generations. yea, even down from
generation to generation, until they
shall be persuaded to believe in Christ.
