The Jew Has Had His Double.
Gods Message declares, "She hath re-
ceived Of the Lords hand double for all
Of her sins" This does not signify that
God is unjust and that he would give
twice as much punishment as was due to
IsraeTs sins. The Hebrew word rendered
double signifies a second part. The
thought is that Israel had long period or
Divine favor and then an equal period of
Divine disfavor. At the end OF this dou-
dra 10
speaker reckoned 1S45 years from the
Abrahamic Covenant to the death Of Je-
sus and that double which there began
marks the year 1878 as the beginning OF a
period OF returning favor. That very
year, a Jew Lord Beaconsiield, Prime
Minister of Great Britain, was member
OF the Berlin Conference of Nations and
its leading genius. His policies for deal
ing with the Turkish Empire were accept
ed, in fulhllment OF Zechariah viii, %:
Thus saith the Lord Of hosts, In those
days it shall come to pass, that ten men
shall take hold, out OF all languages OF
the nations, even shall take hold Of the
skirt OF him that is n Jew. saying, We
will go with YOU for we have heard that
God is with you" There the Lords good
promises to Israel began to have fulfill
ment. There the stability of titles in Pal
estine was assured as the Jew began to
have some recognition in his own land.
There all the principal nations followed
the policies suggested by the Jew. Sub
sequently, in Divine providence, Egypt.
as well as Palestine, came under super
vision Of Great Britain. Since then the
Jewish star has been in the ascendancy.
Slowly but steadily. advances have been
made in wealth and social standing.
In due time the message OF Zionism was
proclaimed and started the hearts of the
Jews pulsing with new life. Now we have
come to the time when Gods message
Of comfort to Israel is being heard b.
both Jew and Christian and a fresh i'm

Jewish Prosecutions Are Shameful.
Every true Christian should blush for
shame for the atrocities against the Jew
committed in the name Of Jesus and
Christianity. Not merely the crimes OF
the Dark Ages cry out for vengeance and
for shame. but the atrocities Of the pres
ent are terrible. The priests Of so-called
