seems 10 be a divergence OF opinion
among The delegates, some being enthu'
elastic for the speedy setting up OF the
"New Zion" In Palestine and Others
being eugsged more 10 the preliminsrie'
to that event. A resolution was offered
yesterday cslling upon ZiOnlsls through
out the world 10 pledge themselves to the
culminstion OF the plan within the next
ten yeafs. Leaders Of religious thought
are aggressive 10 this day. A movement
was recently launched by representa-
tfves Of the different evangelical denomi'
nations for the conversion OF the world
during The next quarter OF a century,
aud many OF them are convinced OF the
scticablity Of the scheme. That the
ancient people will sooner or later possess
Ghe land of their fathers Is the conviction
of all Sho resd and believe what hiss been
written; also that a different order oil
things will yet prevail universally
Whether or not the consumnstlon oil
these long desired epochs Is at hand re-
