MODERN JEWS IN PALESTINE.
rs we pass ont and on we find about
eight hundred acres belonging to the
Universal Israelitish alliance. Monte
fore, the Israelitisi centenarian and
philanthropist, and Eotllschild, the
banker, and others of the large hearted
have paid the passage to Palestine for
many of the lsraelites, and set apart
lands for their culture, and it is only
beginning OF the faIifllment of divine
prophecy when these people shall take
possession of the Holy Land. The road
from Joppa to Jerusalem, and all the
roads leading to Nazareth and Galilee,
we saw lined with professions of Jews
going to the sacred places, either on
holy pilgrimage or as settlers. All the
fingers of Providence nowadays are
pointing toward that resumption of
Palestine by the Israeites. | do not
take it that the prospered lsraelites of
other lands are to go there.
They would be foolish to leave their
properties in our American cities, where
they are among our best citizens, and
cross two seas to begin life over again

lleaped upon them in Russia, and the
insults offered them in Germany, will
