rDg FUTURE OF rALEsIINE.

The New York Observer, discussing
the future Of Pslostins, stfives u th'
conolp,ion that tho hoped.iof restore
ton Of that eountfy 10 the descendants
Of Abraham may never come, and
that although Palestine will again DO
come cultivated and prosperous, "lC
the Jews II will always bs a land OIL
pfonlss."
The writer argues that restoration
through tho effort. Of Christians Il
exceedingly improbable. The Jealousy
Of Russia for the safety Of the htly
places stands az n barrier against every
effort 10 establish any other power
there than the cEat's. And as Tor the
Jews themselves making any move
towards the land Of their father, that
- considered equally improbable. Tue
great body Of the JewS are exceedingly
poor and eau do nothing without
tho aid Of their wealthy brethren,
Anc these are unwilling TO leavs the
great commercial centors aud are
apt To excuse their Inactivity on the
ground that God viii accomplish HIS
purpo,es In His own way aud time.
Neither Chrisiians nor Jews are
therefore likely, the Observer thinhs,
TO take the Initiative towards the res
torAiion OF tho holy land.
The logic may seem sound, ye1 u
enufeIy Ignores The fno' that tue BELIEF
In the sstablishment Of the Hebrew
race N naliou In Palestine il
founded not In the expectation that
the European nations VIII unite 10 an
Invitation 10 the scattered remnant
70 fs'urn and take possession OF their
hnu' but on Tho promise that The God
oftheir fathers illeslablish them there,
" they VIII turn TO Him with all their
heart and this, notwithstanding
such oorrse may conflict with the
sapp'sed Interests OF other nations
The nnai gathering OF tho covenant
people VIII DO somewhat In iino with
ihsir deiivsranee from Egypt and
Their entrance Into CAEaan. There
VIII be opposition. The regeneration
OF The Jewish nation IL looked upon as
the sequel OF period OF tflbulation
from which there IL no salvation er'
ospi through tho Interpretation OF the
arm Of Jshovsh.
The declarations OF the ancient
prephsh esnosrning the restoration OF
Palestine anu events connected there.
