THE DELAGoA AWARD.

The Delagoa Bay case has been long
pending, and has been decided, finally,
on its merits, Portugal being sentenced
to pay somewhat over fifteen million
francs to the United states and Great
Britain. The case has been In the
hands OF an arbitration commission
since 1890. and the costs Of the case
which must amount to an enormous
sum are 10 be betrayed by the three
powers interested In the litigation.
The question at Issue was, briefly

to build the road within q certain time
and the Portuguese government with

and after some diplomatic fencing 1t
was agreed to refer the question OF
damages to an arbitration commission.
II is this question the commission now
has decided.

circles at the comparatively small
award, may be due to the fact that II

by paying whatever price Portugal may

as that2" We fear that "a Pentecostal
revival in Utah" or anywhere else, wit
messed by the ministers who used the
expression, would excite their ire or
their ridlcule. and would be utterly
condemned by them as "Mormonlsm."
The doctrine taught by the Apostle
Peter on the day Of Pentecost is that
which Mormon" missionaries proclaim
throughout the world travelling like him
without purse or scrip TO do so. The
Spirit which he promised as a result Of
obedience TO those precepts is also
promised by the Elders Of this Church,
and that promise is fulfilled as literally
today as II was on that great occasion.
The same gifts which the early-day
Saints obtained. are enjoyed, through
faith and compliance with the Gospel
by the Latter-day Saints.
There has been a "Pentecostal revi-
val" already. But IL ministers Of the
orthodox churches DO not believe in IT,.
When they pray for such a renewal
they do not mean what they say. They
reject the doctrine taught on the day
Of Pentecost, and they do not believe In
the renewal OF that divine Spirit that
came upon the disciples Of Christ as
sembled on that day. nor do they be-
lleye that the gifts which were the
fruits OF that Spirit are to be enjoyed
now. Therefore a request for prayers
that Pentecostal revival may take
place either in Utah or in any other
country is not to be regarded as sincere
or anything but vain pretense and the
use OF language to convey something al
together different from its common
slgnihcatlon. What rare jewel is sec

"a PENTECosTAL REVIVAL"

At conference Of ministers, held
during the last few days In the north,
a noted Utah advocate OF extreme an
tl-"Mormonism" pleaded with the as
sembly for special prayers to be
offered, and efforts to be put forth,
that "a Pentecostal revival" might be
had In Utah.
What is meant by a Pentecostal re-
vival? And what would be the conse-
uuence II the occurrence related in the
New Testament. as taking place at the
Pentecost after Christ's ascension, were
repeated today? The history OF the
event Is recorded in the second chapter
OF the Acts Of the Apostles. In full
fllment Of the promise OF the Savior,
the Holy Ghost was manifested in WIS.,
Ible manner, by "cloven tongues OF
fire." and by the gift Of tongues to the
Apostles then assembled The pure
Gospel OF Jesus Christ was proclaimed

ABOUT zloNIsM.

Mr.. NJ. Caster, the founder Of Zion
ism in Great Britain, has a paper In
the April Forum about that movement,
which evidently IA destined in due time
10 become OF worldwide Importance.
According to Mr.. Caster, the aim Of the
Zionists is clearly defined. II Is TO Sc
cure by legal means a home In Pales-
tine for the Jewish people; to foster
the national idea; TO support a regular
international congress OF Jews, the
duty Of which shall be to consider
measures for their general welfare; to
support the existing colonies, and to
promote the study OF Hebrew and its
use as living language. The move
ment commenced with the philanthropic
efforts Of Sir Moses Montedore, and
Adolphe Cremieux, who conceived the
Idea OF doing something for the Jews
in Palestine, and 1t has now taken the
form Of Zlonism.
This remarkable movement may be
considered a natural outgrowth Of the
various efforts that have been made, TO
rescue an oppressed, homeless nation.
When liberal ideas took hold Of the
public mind. II was confidently ex-
pected that the distinction between jew
and Gentle would vanish. But that
hope has not been realized. Anti
semltism may be suppressed for a
time, but like the molten mass In the
volcano, II boils and bubbles continu-
ally, and at times breaks out In erup-
lions that shake states to their founda-
tions. The Jews OF Russia. Austria
and Roumanla were particularly
harassed and prosecuted. Something
had to be done. Wealthy Jews then
concluded 10 found colonies where the
compatrlots could live in peace. And
thus came Baron Hlrsch's efforts at
colonization in America, and the var
ious colonies In Palestine, chief among
which are those founded by Baron Ed
mund de Rothschild
The experiment Of settling Palestine
once being made the result was an
ever.g growing desire for more extensive
undertakings Of that kind in the chosen
country. And thus Zionism came into
existence. II commenced with the
effort to rescue Jews In certain locali'
ties from cruel oppression; II is now a
plan 10 gather from among the people
dispersed throughout the world a ma
ton with its own government, laws and
institutions.
The writer In the Forum calls atten'
ton to one fact which probably is moi
generally understood DR.. Herzl's pro-
gram Of Jewish state has not beer
accepted by the Zlonlsts, because HI
omitted to designate Palestine as th'
place OF gathering. To him, originally
any place would have answered .h'
purpose, while the Zlonists have on'
object alone: 10 establish the home Of
the Jews in the land OF their fathers
Colonies as philanthropic measures
they regard as pallatlyes for the I'M
of which the people suffer: the cure &
the establishment Of the nation on thu
basis o. autonomy. zionism as thu
understood Is looked upon as the onll
means OF the moral and physical re
generation OF the masses, and the re
knitting Of the bonds OF brotherhood.
AS TO the success Of Zionism Their
need be no doubt. II has taken hold o
the masses OF the Jewish people, un
