A plan for supplying the whole of
Palestine with electricity for lighting,
heating and cooking purposes Is being
entered into by a French company,
which has its headquarters In Paris.
The power will be supplied by the
falls of the Jordan, between the Wa
ters of Merom and the Lake OF Cali
lee, where the river descends seventy
feet. A generating plant will be
erected on the west bank OF the riv-
er, and will be connected with all the
chief towns Of the country. Some ST.
000,e will be required for the ini-
tial expenses.
1t is hoped that in fiye years the
works will be paying we'll.
The foregoing statement has been
sent out from London, Eng, by the
Associated Press. 1t Is evidently au-
thentic. Such intimations of the re-
habilitation OF Palestine have come so
frequently of late that they have
ceased to be startling While men
are contending that Palestine never
can sustain a large population. and
that the Jews never will return. God
is silently bringing both to pass 40
rapidly that they will be completed
before the sound OF unbelieving
doubters has ceased to be heard.
