ZIONISM AND zIONISTS.
Editor Democrat:
zionism" is the name Of a plan for
acquiring Palestine by purchase from
Turkey, with a view of establishing
the jews there. They have 165 soci-
cites in the United States and 10000
members. Their idea is to bay one
hundred thousand acres of land an
nually in Palestine in order to estab-
lish colonies of Jews.
Prof Richard Gottheil of Columbia,
the Director of the American School
of Archaeology in Jerusalem, believes
that the time will come when Pales-
tine will be in fact what the Hebrew
Scriptures say it was at one time -
land flowing with milk and honey"
The Professor says that the soil in
Palestine is peculiar and remarkably
fertile as the rocks on the hillsides
are turning to fertilizer
Artesian wells are causing the Sa-
hara desert to blossom as the rose.
Recently a well was completed near
Tolga that flows 5000 gallons min
lutte. The water of the we'll rises into
fountain nearly six feet high and
forms small river, which will make
ii possible to cultivate eight thousand
acres. Besides this we'll there are
other wells that irrigate 1900. 900 date
palms, in this great desert. Artesian
wells are being sunk all over Pales-
tine also.
The great Assuan dam over the river
Nile in Egypt is retaining thousands
of acres of land. This great dam
when full of water is two hundred
miles long. The Prophet Isaiah fore
told of this great dam and the rail-
road that crosses there. (See lisa.
11:15-16.)
But don't tell our Asheville friend,
for If you do he will be sure to holler
'ewhipperwill" or "Jaybird.'
Another great dam is now being
built over the river Euphrates the
land of the ancient Garden of Eden
which will irrigate the land of Meso-
potamia the land where Father Abra-
ham dwelt.
All over theearth we behold irriga-
ton causing streams to break out IN
the desert and pools and springs of
water. Elsa. 35.) Our Asheyille friend
who uses the words "Jaybird" and
"Whipperwill' to refute Bible pro-
rhecy to the contrary notwithstand-
ling!
The Bible is full of proof that Israel
will be restored and accept Jesus
Christ as the Messiah at His second
advent.
Jesus Christ said that the Jews
would accept Him at His returning
and we suppose He knew as much
about it as our AsheviIle friend. Csec
Luke 1884, S5.)
The foregoing is all in fulfillment o.
lisa. So and Acts 1921, and has bee1
in progress for the past forty years
and strange to relate our Asheyillt
, friend has never found It out yet!
Now comes the news that the Jews
are perfecting plans to rebuild the
ltomple of Solomon. $20,o00.O0o ha:
/ Erecently been invested for the build
