The Lost Tribes Found &.
To the Editor of the HERALD:

To the Editor of the HERALD:
Hall Sunday evening by the Rev. DR..
Roubin of which you publish q conden-
sed report on Monday, was 8 very
interesting talk. 1 had the pleasure of
listening to it, being an Israelite my
self, but not of the house of Judah, as
was the speaker. The reverend gentle
man referred to Israel as a nation, and
as being the Jews Such is not the
case. It is all well enough to talk
safed by Jehovah himself unto his
chosen people Israel" but we must
certainly locate people, and not
only a people. but a nation and a COM
pany of nations. who are and have
been since the birth of the Messiah,
fulfilling the covenant which AL
mighty God swore unto Abraham, and
his seed after him. Now in the first
place the bible tells US that the Jews
this not true? They are of Israel but
are not Israel. There were IL
tribes of Israel, one tribe for each
of the sons of Jacob. Judah
where are the others? The bible re-
fers to the Israelites as the Two Trib-
ed House of Judah and the Ten Tribed
House of Israel. David was first king
over Judah, and afterwards king over
1.-Two Tribed House," while the re-
naming tribes were known as the
''Ten Tribed House, They were
known distinctively as such up to the
time of their deportation into
Media by shalmanezer eirca
claim that these ''Ten Tribes" return
ed with the Jews after the Babylonish
captivity but the Jews Themselves
did Josephus, --the-Jewish historian
who wrote about 20 years after the
birth of Christ, ihre0ard to them, saying
they (the ten tribes) remained until
that time in Media q multitude for
number. This is one of the bl essings
they were to inherit. They were
TO be, and when / say they
mean the Israelites, were to be in the
latter days as the sands of the sea
shore. Now the Christian dispense
tion is conceded by students of prophe-
one of intelligence knows that Judah
Israel have never numbered at one time
over ten to eleven millions of people.
But how about the Anglo-SsxOn race?
Again Jacob. in blessing his
sons when he came to die,
blessed the two half Egyptian
sons of Joseph even with his first born.
When about to pronounce the blessing
Joseph presented, as was the custom,
the oldest, Manasseh, to the right
hand, and Ephrsim, the youngest, to
the left hand of Jacob. But Jacob
placed his right hand upon Ephraim
the younger and his left hand upon
Manaeseh the eldest Joseph remon-
strsted, but the old man had
guided his hand Willingly
and knew what he was about. 80 he
told Joseph: 81 know it, my son, 1
know it: he (Manasseh) also shall be-
come people: and he also shall be
great; but truly his younger brother
shall become multitude of nations"
Have the Jews ever been q multitude
of nations? 1 trow not. But Ephraim-
Israel England) has, and the United
States I Manasseh) has become great
nation. Israel was to possess the gates
of her enemies. Do the Jews possess
any of the gates? No, but
England does: Gibraltar, Sin
gapore, Hong Kong, Malta and al
most q score of others. Israel as a ma
ton, was to lend to all nations, and
prophecy? England. Israel was never
to want for q man to sit upon the
throne of David, until Shiloh come.
Pray tell me who has welded the scep-
ter over Israel since the death of Zede-
kish, the last king of the Jews? Queen
Victoria traces her genealOgy back to
David, through James 1, Fergus, and
Tea Tephi, the tender twig, 1.-THE young
est daughter of Zedekiah. Jeremiah
was the prophet of the nations and was
specially commissioned by the lord to
tear down, to build up and to plant"
Twas he who planted the slender
twig" in Ireland. This daughter of
Zedekiah married the only son of Mile
sius, the soldier of Spain, by Mary of
Ireland, who descended from the
Tuatha de Daanans. Dan was the
;spioneer" of Israel and from his tribe
me the Tuatha de Daanans. Israel
