Lapse in History.
We know practically nothing Of it's
history for more than a century, until
In 1872, Alexander the Great conquered
Syria. The gates Of Jerusalem were
opened to him, and he left the Jews in
peaceful occupation.
The revolt of the Maccabees
brought, however, a fresh succession
Of troubles upon it. It was besieged
by the Greeks in 139, 1874, IS and 63
B. c., and the temple was pillaged in
IS B. G. The Roman domination un-
der Herod brought an interval of
peace, Herod built palace, restored
the citadel Antonio, and in 10 B. G.
began the erection Of the third temple.
Jerusalem is very closely identified
with the earthly life Of Jesus Christ.
1t was to the great Jewish festival
there he was taken by his parents.
Here they lost him and on returning
found him conversing with the wise
men.
It was to the city he looked when
he uttered his plaintive cry, 20 Jeru.

and stonest them sent unto thee," fin
fishing by predicting it's doom, which
occurred just over seventy years later.
It was to Jerusalem he went for the
last week Of his life, "the Passion
week. as we term it, and on entering
the city on an ass the thronging
crowds cast down branches Of palm
trees, hailing him as king.
Walk to Golgotha.
His mock trial in Pilates hall and
walk to Golgotha outside the city,
where on the cross the worlds Re-
deemer was crucified, add most pro-
found interest to Jerusalem. 1t was
within sight Of the city, with the dis
ciples around him, that Christ as
cended to heaven, leaving for his fol-
lowers the command to 60 out into all
the world and preach the gospel to
every CREATURE, duN " DeSlu Tic StOEy
of the evangel in Jerusalem.
Here 40 days later Peter preached
to the thronging crowds assembled at
Jerusalem for the Passover. This mar
velous sermon created such q powerful
impression that 5000 responded to his
summons.
In the early days Of the Christian
era the Jews were in constant revolt
against the Roman power. At length
Titus, son Of Vespasian, was sent to
take and destroy the city. In spite
Of a heroic Jewish defense and after
a siege Of 143 days it fell to Titus in
20 A. D. ~
The greater part of the populace
was put to the sword and the city
entirely RACED by the pillow. So that,
according to Christ's prophecy, not one
stone remained upon another. The
numbers who persisted in this siege,
according to Josephus, amounted to
above a million souls, and the captives
to almost hundred thousand.

Story Of Jerusalem.
The Tell el-Amarna tablets reveal
there was an important town on the
site of Jerusalem in the fifteenth CEN
tury B. c., called Ursalim. The ear
Hest mention of the place in Scrip
ture is in Gen. ii: IS, where Melchise-
dek Is called "King Of Salem" 1t next
appears as the Jebus, the stronghold
OF the Jebusites, which long. held out
against the Israelite invaders.
With King David a new chapter
opens, for it was he who made the
final conquest of the fortress, joining
the lower city with the citadel of
Mount Zion. The first temple there
was built by Solomon, and the story
Of its construction and the articles
used as outlined in the Scripture story
give some idea Of it's magnifcence.
After the revolt Of Jeroboam, the
city was successfully attacked by She
shak, king Of Egypt, 935 B. c.; the
Philistines and Arabs, $50 B. c.; Jeho-
ash, king Of Israel, 1856 B. c., all of
whom inflicted more or less damage.
In 701 B. G. Sennacherib laid siege
to Jerusalem, but was forced to with
draw. In 597 and more effectually in
$50 Babylon took possession Of the
city, sacked it and deported the
"elite" Of it's Inhabitants to Babylon.
Jerusalem was then reduced to the
position Of an insignificant town.
A new chapter begins with the re-
turn Of the exiles under Zerubbabel
and Joshua $50 B. G. A new temple
was begun in 535 and after a long de-
lay caused by the Vaccinations of the

1t the capital Of the Jewish race, Jeru-
salem has been the prey Of half the
races Of the world. It has passed sue
cessively into the hands Of the Assy-
rians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans,
Persians, Arabs, Turks, the Crusaders,
finally to fall before the descendants
Of that Richard the Lion Hearted who
strove in vain for it's possession more
than seven hundred years ago.
The historic city has been destroyed
and rebuilt times without number,
only to finally fall for the second time
into the hands of Christian British.
Great Moral Victory.
The gigantic British encircling STRAIT
egg took in, on the south, the little
town Of Bethlehem, where Christ was
born, 2017 years ago. There seems
to be no doubt that the capture Of
Jerusalem is one of the most stupen-
dous moral victories Of the war.
1t is unique fact that British lead
ers and British armies now, as in the
centuries past, are still the tenacious,
successful foes Of Mohammed's people.
In the twelfth century Richard Occur
de Lion, in penitence for fancied sins,
decided to absolve himself Of mundane
taints by engaging in an altruistic cam
paign for the deliverance Of Jerusa-
lem to Christian control. In a series
Of campaigns he fought the mighty
Saladin through many sanguinary
battles to a truce. He found it impos-
sible to maintain a maximum fighting
strength through the extreme line Of
communications. Disease and misfor-
tune reduced his armies to nomadic
bands, which were, some Of them,
taken as slaves by the Mussulmans.
Others roamed the continent for years
or engaged in mercenary wars wher-
ever they found chieftains willing to
employ them.
Richard himself became a fugitive,
was arrested by enemies while strug-
Cling his way through Austria, and
only released when friends in Britaiu
raised enormous ransoms.
Interesting Campaign.
It is an interesting campaign that
has just been successful in restoring
Jerusalem. A glance at the geograph-
ical nature Of the land over which the
British advanced from GAIA to Jaffa
to Jerusalem is intensely interesting
Palestine, an almost regular rec.
tangle, may be divided into four equal
parts lengthwise for this purpose. The
strip along the Mediterranean sea is
fiat country, a continuous plain. The
next strip to the east is mountainous.
It resembles in general character the
Catskin country of New York state,
except that the hills and mountains
are not so heavily wooded. .
The third strip from the coast is q
great depression through which the
River Jordan flows. -
The fourth is the plateau land which
rises beyond the Jordan. 4
By taking the coastal route the
English were able to advance with
little trouble from natural obstacles.

Fuel Administrator for Minnesota, adj
dressed to il. Il. Wood, chairman, War
rem: q. r. Foster, Argyle; and O.. r.
Gillespie, Stephen; the Marshall county
fuel committee, calls attention to- the
seriousness of the hard coal shortage in
the northwest. All dealers are warned
to make just and equitable distribution
to customers Of coal that is shipped in
to the end-@that everybody will be sup
piled with enough to take care Of their
immediate sneeds=and that there may be
no suffering. 1t some customers are
allowed to take in a full winters sup
ply Of coal at this time, there will be
nothing to distribute to other custom
Eers. The hearty cooperation of the
public is also desired. Consumers who
have furnaces or stoves in which soft
coal mag be used, are urged to use soft
coal to tide over the present emergency
until such time as sufficient supply
of hard coal is available In localities
where wood is plentiful, coal can be
conserved by using wood for fuel If
dealers and the public cooperate in
conserving the hard coal to be shipped
in, then, it is hoped no one will need to
suffer for lack of fuel.
