Both the Greeks and the Romans
considered Judea among their fines,
provinces. Ancient authors frc.
qaently referred to its large number
of towns and villages, the excellence
OF the climate. the fertility Of the
soil and the high degree Of cultiva-
ton it had reached, facts which
are sustained today by the
countless ruins which meet the
eyes OF the traveller wherever
he goes. Yet, it became devastated.
The most fertile plains have been
untitled. The country has been
overruu with wild hordes and
spriukled with blood in Vulnerable
battles. Where formerly were lux
uriant gardens and vineyards are
now only thistles. Many hills are
Inaccessible on account Of briars and
cactus. Where once numerous
roads led from city TO city are now
only paths almost impossible. Only
a few years ago, there was in the
whole country not road, not a
bridge, not even 4 wagon or a cart.
So literally has the word Of God been
fulfilled upon that country and na.
ton.
There is n great lesson in this. II
the threats have been so terribly
carried out, that not one iota has
failed, may We not rest assured that
the blessings Which have been
promised will also surely come? II
is stated that the curses shall be
taken away and that the Holy Land
shall again be consecrated rs Of old.
The following promises are as sure
as were the divine threats:
''if their uncircurnciscd hearts be
humhlcd. and they then accept Of tho
punishment of their iniquity: Then
will / remember my covenant with
Jacob, and also my covenant with
Isaac, and also my covenant with
Abraham will remember; and will
rememberthe land.--Lev. XVI. IL,
A..
Il will cause their captivity to re-
turn, and have mercy on them.--Jer
xxxiii, &c.
"Ahcrwari shall the children al
Israel return, and seek the Lord their
God. and David their king; and shall
fear the Lord and His goodness IN the
latter days."-Hos. iii, S.
Here are promises of . glorious
restoration. There is no room fol
doubling that these will be fulfilled,
for the first rays Of glorious day
have already dawned upon the Holy
Land. The blessings Of heaven
smile upon il. The rains are regu,
lar ami abundant. The soil is being
gradually cleared and cultivated by
diligent hands and yields abund
antly. Means of communication
are being established. The Turkish
government has relaxed its iron
grip upon the country and tolerates
strangers of all nstionaiities. The
wealthy Jews are investing capital

the commotions among the nations
drive many of the Jews to seek a
refuge in that country, to escape the
hand of the oppressor. Who can
not see that that the Almighty is
working in order to bring about q
speedy consummation Of His plans
and purposes?

The changes that are coming upon

that the Almighty will use the de-
velopments Of modern times in the
restoration Of ''the covenant people"
to the land OF their fathers. Indeed,
the improvements Of the age are all
prompted by His Spirit "the light
Of TRUTH" which reveals TO man
that which will benefit and exalt.
This is a wonderful period in the
history Of the world. Not only are
agencies and appliances new to

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS IN THE
HOLY LAND.


1t APPEARS that the attention of
the world is being directed once
more to the Jews, whose history for
centuries has been so closely inter
woven with the history Of almost
every other nation on the earth.
The prosecutions they are suffering
in Russia presents problem which
will have to be solved. Driven
away from their homes; deprived,
to large extent, of their property,
what can they do? Most of the
countries in Europe are supposed to
be over-pcpulated. English laborers
declare that they cannot allow the
exiles to land in that country, conf
pete with them, and lower their
already small wages. Germany
has, apparently. already too many
Jews within her boundaries, and
would be glad to See some of them
depart. The same feeling prevails
in Austria Switzerland is eonsic-
cred to have too many inhabitants
already and is glad TO give n yearly
surplus of her own brave sons to
other countries. America has pre-
sunably not yet too large pOpula-
ton, hut the distance between
Russia and America is great. Many
Of the exiies are too poor to emigrate
50 far, unless they receive aid, anu
il is. therefore, likely enough that a
great many of the unfortunate race
viii never be able to reach the shores
over which the great eagle spreads
its protecting wings. But the hand Of
oppression is heavy. Itpresses hard
on the people. The problem will
have TO be solved. 1t seems that for
many ofthese Jews only one refuge
is open, and that is their own be-
loved country, Palestine.
AT this time, il may prove inter-
estiug to recall few passages of the
ancient Jewish authors, in which
their history is outlined with won
derful clearness.
Before the Jews had entered
Canaan, while they were yet wan
dering in the wilderness, their great
leader and prophet, Moses, speaking
in the name of Jehovah, says:
III We will not hearken unto me,
but walk contrary unto me; then l
will walk contrary unto you also in
fury; and 1 will scatter you among
the heather, and will draw out a
sword after you: aud your land shall
DO desolate, aud your cities waste.
Then shall the land enjoy her sab
baths. And upon them that are LEFT
alive of You, 1 will send faininess
into their hearts in the lands OF their
enemies: and the sound of shaken
leaf sha l chase them; and they shall
flee as fleeing from sword; and they
shall fall, when mons pursueth. And
We shall have no power 20 stand b.
fore your enemies. And We shall
perish among the heather, and the
land of your enemies shall eat you up.
And they that are left OF you shall
pine away in their iniquity in your

REQUEST THEM To STEP OUT.

THE prCn)unced sentiment ex-
pressei at the mass meeting OF ciii-
zens held last Mon5ay night was
one of the healthy signs of the
times. 1t awakened new hopes in
The minds of many of the most re-
spectacle AMI upright people of this
city that the tide of corruption and
vice, which threatens to submerge
the citysJke a flood, might I've eflec-
lively stsmmed, aud something akin
TO the old-time comparative purity
ami security be established.
The Council as n body have,
on the outset Of this move
ment in favor Of law, order
aud morality, shown no disposition
to act in accord with it. The
situation on last Tuesday, by
the position assumed regarding
the application Of the variety the
atre concern for liquor license, in
dictated. TO say the least, that the
Council is equally divided. There
was tie on the first test. 1t is /;
fact also that the license would have
>beeu granted without the casting
sfhe Ma yor being required t.
it, haH notcnes OF the coun
cilmen who lad been committed 4
the pro-whisky party, changed hi
mind and voted with those whC
favor morality. We do not believ,
there is any hope for radical i'm
provement with the Council con
stituted as ii now is.
The question is, what shall b,
done to attain the object nearest tn,
heart Of every good citizen, aud Is
pecially dear TO all cOnsisten
parents who wish to preserve thei
children from the COMMUNICATIONS @
vice multiplying and cropping on
in every direction? The answer is
make the Council n legal body as
whole. Those who wish to see tn,
law enforced, need not expect i
done until those whose duty il i
TO attend TO it shall come within tn
law.
1t is a notorious fact that Their
are six members of the Coun
ell who are not legally or in an,
other way entitled TO the seail the,
occupy. The election of las. Febru
airy was conducted under the new
law or charter passed by the Legis
lature, providing that the candi
dates should be elected from In,
municipal precincts, and not at larg,
as formerly. The Utah Commission
SO directed. The Peoples candidate.
were elected, having clear majorities
in the Fourth and Second precincts
But Notwithstanding this fact, the
Liberal" candidates were seated.
and have usurped the offices they
now hold.
An appeal to the courts brought q
decision from Chief Justice Zane to
the effect that the candidates OF the
Peoples Party were elected and en-
titled to the offices involved. An
appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court of the Territory. After
months OF delay that court held its
ssion, and in order to avoid de-
cision being reached the "Lileral';
political thieves Withdrew the ap-
peal. They thus threw the case

one of the grossest insults to a most
emphatic public expression ever

community. When the mammoth
petition with an immense number
of signatures of all classes attached,
asking for a reduction of taxation.
was presented in the Council, he
peremptorily moved that it lie
tabled. This amounted to an at
tempt to deny the constitutional
right of the PEOPLE TO petition. II
the grievances OF the people are
dismissed without consideration.
the presentation is rendered of no
effect. Surely no one but a petty
tyrant or insolent usurpcr would
move for an action so arbitrary.
In order that Salt Lake City may
have an official body under whose
administration the law can be en-.
forced, let that body itself he placed
on legal footing. Six of the al
legged members of the Council occu
py seats in defiance of law and 5

Hence, if those citizens who express
n wish to see the laws enforced

atmosphere purified, are in earnest
let them formulate a demand tina

Of which they have been shameful,

be one Of the first steps taken by tn,
law and order citizens of the com
muniiy. But that par: of it dc
wolves upon the better class of tn,
