property and the Jews are buying
from them. a recently passed law re-
quires that taxes hereafter shall be
paid in money and not in a share OF

holds the title must cultivate the land,
and signifies in turn that the waste

that the on-progressive Arabs must
give place to the Jews who are pur-

The New Jerusalem.
Pastor Russell reminded his audi

period Of Jewish disfavor and reJec-

favor. While natural Israel had been
outcast the gathering of spiritual Is

Comfort We, comfort ye my people,
saith your God. Speak We comfort
ably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her,
that her warfare is accomplished, that
her iniquity is pardoned; for she hath
received OF the Lords hand DOUBLE
for all her sins'-Isaiah XII, IL.
The Bible distinctly informs us that
the people OF Israel are Gods special
heritage. He has not permanently cast
away his people, whom he foreknew;
he has merely hidden his favor from
them for a reason and for a purpose.
That season of disfavor is distinctly
declared by the prophets, as we shall
see.
IsraePs history of a nation began at
the death of Jacob, and the entire
period since down to the establishment
of the nation as Gods earthly repre-
sentative in power and great glory is
divided into two equar parts During
the first of these divisions God show ed
that nation special national privileges
and favors- During the second part he
has shown them no national favors
These matters our Hebrew friends
freely acknowledge. Let US note this
double" Of IsraePs experience as fore
told by three Of their most prominent
prophets:
% Through Jeremiah the Lord de-
clared that because of IsraeTs unfaith-
fulness he would ultimately cast them
off and scatter them amongst all ma
tons. and after they had received
time Of disfavor equal to that of their
preceding favor he would bring them
back and fulfil TO them all the gracious
promises made to the fathers. (Jere-
Iniah xvL:13-1S.9
% Through the prophet Zachariah
(ix-: Gid the Lord announced the
very day which would mark the turn
ing point Of their double THAT day
was April A D. 80, when Jesus full
filled that prophecy riding upon an ass.
CD In our text Isaiah xi:1-2) the
Lord marks the end of IraeTs double"
or secondary experience of disfavor.
These doubles refer evidently not TO
a double" severity or double" Of
what was justly due, but to a double"
of time.
To our understanding of the word.
IsraeTs double of time was reached
in 1873 A. D., from which time 81
years Of rising in favor viii bring
them to the year 1915 R. D., to new
covenant conditions promised them

but found no ears to hear, but rather
a strong resentment. This time we
were requested to give a public dis

attention from Hebrews, Arabs and
Catholics and Protestants- Amongst
our auditors was DR.. Levy, the treas

freely as deeply approaching our mes
sage and inquired. Why do not other
Christians give~us a word of encour-
agement and recognition as a people Of

INVEST IN MEXICO

era cruz, Mex, July 50, 1917.
Editor Ell Paso Herald:
SO many desire information regard
ing opportunities for investments in
Mexico, that what 1 have learned by my
sojourn in the republic may interest
them. When you strike the rain belt Of
lower Mexico, the country and climate
is delightful The western part of the
state of Vera Cruz and eastern Oaxaca
is the finest country I have ever seen:
it is healthy, a lovely climate and
wonderfully fertile soil.
Tuxtepec is the center of the banana
rubber, sugar, tobacco and corn dis
trict- Bananas are the most profitable
crop grown; they come into bearing in
about a year after being planted, and
yield a profit of from 5000 TO $500 per
acre, and bananas require very little
care Good land can be bought very
cheap, and you can get reliable infor-

cality by addressing the board of trade

a good business, as in tropical Mexico

an acre of which will keep a COW fat

land will be worth $50 TO 500 per acre.

and there is no better land anywhere
People who live in Mexico a few
