ing of this unprecedented, though natural,
movement? 1t tells US that the time has
arrived in the good province of God for the
long predicted restoration Of Israelites to
their own land The incipient restoration
we are now witnessing is profoundly in
teresting event to Christians, confirming
their faith in the inspiration of the Bible
and indicating to them in the strongest and
clearest way that the coming of the Lord
draweth nigh. Ii was the one sign wanting
till within the last fe " years, but it shines
out now each month more clearly and
should arrest the attention of all. In
word, careful study of Scripture shows
that the PRESENT Jewish crisis is the be-
ginning of the end. We are further in
formed, through the press that the plans
and specifications of the new temple at
Jerusalem are out. There will soon be
erected, on the Bethlehem road, $500
houses; and just over the Kedron valley
ITO houses are going up. Another man
has built village at Jsbbok, or Jacobs
bridge. They are buying ground and
planting vineyards Oae colony alone
having planted Eve millions of vines and
many trees, some with the intention of
raising the silk worm and others taking up
other branches of industry. This is full
fllment of Jeremiah 80; 34-87. A railroad
will soon connect Jerusalem with the see
coast. The trade sof Jerusalem is now
principally in the hands of the Jews.
Jerusalem is ceasing TO be trodden down

636, when Jerusalem was taken by the
Turks, we come to 1896. An Episcopal
clergyman in England predicted this in
the year 1859 or 1872 years ago We are
quite safe in saying that between now and
1895 the Jews will become nation in Pal
estine. Take another view, as held by
Prof Totten, of Yale Times of the
Gentiles." These commenced evidently
with the first great empire, "The Head of
Gold" or Babylon. 1t has been "Gentile
times" ever since The first King of
Babylon was crowned say 1878, "A. M, leav-
ing out months. Now how long we're the
predicted that Israel should be punished
seven times for her sins. The seven times
or years of Nebuchadnezzar's insanity are
also typical of GENTLE times. 800 multi
