An interesting and promising plan has been adopted in Glasgow by certain landlords who, having reformed much of their slum property, want to keep 1t in good condition. It consists in offer- ine nrizes to tenants who behave them selves we'll and pay their rent promptly. All tenants who fulfill these conditions are allowed in summer to live rent free for a fortnight. so that if they take a holiday they need not pay double rent.

1t may be asserted that these sanctiied
sites are to be excepted from the control
Of the Jewish state. If this were doHa
there would be more outside Of the Jewish
state than in it. Jerusalem, the capital,
is not a city, but a shrine. Every street
has its famous spots, and churches of all
creeds are crowded upon one another. The
very capital of Palestine would be outside
Of the proposed Jewish state. But going
further and always excepting the sacred
spots, Bethlehem, the Christian city, would
have to be left out also, and Nazareth, with
all its churches marking the house Of
Jesus, the carpenter shop, etc.
Whole mountains, like Mount Tabor,
would have to be excepted, for it is the
traditional site Of the TRANSPORTATION OF
Jesus" And would not the Jordan river
and the Sea Of Galilee themselves, also be
beyond the control Of this proposed Jewish
government? For to the former, thousands
come for baptism in emulation of the ex-
ample of Jesus, and thousands seek the
latter for its associations with the miracles

II is true that some Christians hold a
sentimental prejudice in favor Of the return
Of the Jews. based upon certain concep-
tions Of the meaning Of biblical prophecies
which seem TO indicate that Jewish re-
occupation will precede the millennium. But
these prophecies were uttered before the
return from Babylonian captivity and many
biblical students hold that they have al
ready been fulfilled so far as they will
ever be.
Moreover it Is probable that the very
Christian nations who are interested in the
coming II the millennium would be the last
. surrender their sacred sites into the
hands Of the Jews. The Greeks hold pcs

at Jerusalem and Of the Basilica OF the Ma

these that the Latin Catholics are admitted
IN sunerance only. There have been many
clashes between the Christians Ct different
nationaliti,s at the church Of the SepulCher
and the Turkish guards have repeatedly
been called In to quell the disturbance.
Bethlehem, indeed. has become a Chris
tian city, with only a few Jewish and Mos
lem Inhabitants. and the Christians Of the
town would certainly not give up their
homes at the command OF the sultan IN
less forced to do so. The leaders OF the
Ziunistic movement have recognized this
dim,ulty. but have waved il aside by stat
ing that. Of course. they would not inter
fere with the sacred spots. But what kind
- a Jewish state would that be in which
whole towns would be beyond the control
Of its government.
MrsIem Opposition Certain.
There Is another and even greater din

which they have so long been famous,

A s-ato 'heTe'
0NKI This question has been raised by

dore Herzl, Vienna. and DR.. Max Nordau Of

that he make it worth while for the

tion 1t has occupied of late years.
Suppose II be true that II the sultan were

would permit the Jews to ro-establish
themselves on the soil OF Palestine, would
II be feasible or even possible2
II IS asserted that the European powers
would oppose such a move most vigorously,
and history seems to uphold this conten-
t!on.
How does it happen that the sultan holds
possession OF that land which is most holy
to all Christian nations even though any
one Of them Is strong enough 10 wrest Il
from his grasp? The record Of the crusades
answers this. Palestine would now be in

which on occasion could be turned into
fortresses.
The German kaiser conceived the brill
liant idea Of a pilgrimage to Palestine a few
years ago, and the defender Of the faith, as
he called himself, showed then the rever-
ence in which he holds its sacred shrines.

from the site of Solomon's temple now
occupied by the mosque of Omar to the re-
puted tomb Of Moses, the holy "Mousa" Of
the Moslems. But it is easy to see that if
entire cities like Jerusalem and Bethlehem
are to be excepted, the scheme Of a Jewish
state in Palestine has tremendous opposi-
ton to encounter; the sultan, the Sick
man of Europe" who is permitted to hold
the holy land, merely because no enc Chris
tian power would permit any other to con-
troll this land, would certainly not be per
mitted to dispose Of the entire country to
the Jews, who to this day, reject Jesus as
divine, while the Moslems at least accept
him as one of the prophets.
Nor should il be forgotten that certain
parts of Palestine. like Jericho, for in
stance, are uninhabitable by Europeans on
account of the climate, thus further limit
ing the cultivable area Of the already
limited countrs.

the whole idea is, however, one of the most
