JEWS ULTIMATE DESTINY.
HetHrn to Palestine Likely TO Bs bx
Gradual Stages.


Israel Zangwill. writing In the
world To-Day, says pertinently: The
treer the Jew is left the more he tends.
II not toward Christianity. toward a
broader view OF II and toward the a.
ceptance OF Christ In the anostonc
chain of Hebrew prophets. The mod
ern Jew Is a pno-Christian, only too
eager to admire the ideals Of what
ever nation he lives amid. only too
uncriucal. There can be little doubt.
therefore. that were the Jew left to
himself and given free run In Chris
tendon and free elbow room he would
In the course Of few generations be
practically merged with his environ
ment.
For this consummation, however.
Ohristendom Is too unchristian to wait.
1t requires three or four generations
AFTER the first emancipation, and be-
Iore these generations are up some
thlng Is sure to happen to throw the
Jew back upon himself The Dreyfus
case Is what Bacon calls an "ostensive
Instance" But apart from such I'M
predlctable partlcularities, II may be
prophesied generally that with such
good whipping boy" as the Jew ready
to the agitator's hand, no economic or
other crisis will pass in any country
without Its Jews being called to &C
count for 1t. 1t Is q notorious device
OF statecraft to divert attention from
internal evils to foreign affairs and
the Jews are quasi-foreign body pro-
vided at home in default OF 4 better
cover. These outbreaks of ant-semit-
lcism, these inclpient prosecutions will
always be answered by reactionary
rigidiscence In the Jewish ranks.
The road to Palestine Ia hard and
long. The Jew will probably make
many detour to his goal, and Is most
likely to settle as first step in some
neutral territory, less beset with po-
litdcal and religious pitfalls, there to
reorganiZe his scattered forces, to re-
learn the lessons of cooperation and
self-government, to readjust the bal
ance of the old world and the new and
to reconcile his conceptions with the
modern scientific vision of the universe
and with the new, historical perspect-
Ives opened up to us by archaeology.
Thus tempered and prepared and re-
united, he will await the opportunity
Of colonizing the holy land with his
overlooking population and there re-
inspired and resanctified by the fulfil
ment Of his secular dream, he will
continue his word toward the creation
Of a model state, which, set on lions
hill, may be light to the people.
