seventeenth century, who sought to

later, Sabbath Zevi. at Smyrna, who
reused for time a Mcssanc frenzy

Thrace. 1t was an interesting circum-
stance that during this period there
was much cooperation between the
Zionist Jew and the Milenarian
Christians.
A century later. IN the last quarter
Of the eighteenth century, the Zionist
movement seemed to be dead. The
growth Of religious federation. the
prospect of Jewish emancipation in
England and elsewhcre-th though it did
not actually come until much later
and above all the influence Of such
men as Leasing, Dohm and Moses Men

seek to become citizens Of the lands
wherein they dwclt and to abandon all
thoughts Of rchablitating the Jewish
kingdom. At last. in 1906, Sanhedrin.

dictation. substantially repudiated the
Zionist tradition.
Yet, paradoxicalIy enough, that very
reaction against Jewish nationalisrn
was what gave that movement an ire
sistible impulse for rcvyifcation and
ultimate triumph. For the Mendels
sohnian movement promoted Jewish
historical studies and culture, and that
led 10 the rcdevelopmcnt Of Xionism on
an immensely stronger basis than be-
fore, the basis not merely Of tradition
and sentiment and spiritual feryor, but
thai Of historical and scientific knowl
edge and intellectual conviction. So in

This latter result might not have
been effected had it not been for the
death of DR.. llerzl just before. His
nominal successor was David VOLTS
sohn, a banker of Cologne, who was un-
able to maintain his influence. A for
midab!e schism was led by Israel
Zangwill, who organized the Jewish
Territorial Association for the purpose
of carrying out the East African
scheme or of founding such colony
elsewhere. He was too late in East
Africa, however, the British govern

he then turned his attention to eyre

JUDEAN battalion, to In later the Greeks
~ the Promised Land for fdeny

In later years the Greeks could con-
fdently appeal to France and Britain
for aid. But even when Godfrey led
his victorious crusade, and when
Ceur de Lion and ST. Louis and others
followed, in efforts to redeem the Holy
Land from Moslem rule, there was no
thought OF Jewish restoration. An ap-
peal of Israel to the Crusaders would
have been answered with derision and
with renewed oppression. Yet we have
only to read such works as Jehuda
Halevi's "Zionide" to realize the vital
ity and the fervency of the Jewish
passion for the land of their fathers.

states of this Union, in which laudable
enterprise he was aided by Jacob
H.. Schiff and the Rothschilds with
gifts of 100000 and 100000 re-
spectively.
With the outbreak of the great war
new aspect was given to the whole
matter, especially when Turkey en-
tered the conflict as an ally of Ger
many and British arms were conse-
quently directed against the Moslems
n Asia Minor. 1t was felt by Jews
generally that the British government.
which above all others in Europe had
been friendly to the Jewish cause,
could be depended upon to bring out
of the conflict justice and opportunity
for the long oppressed people; and this
feeling was triumphantly confirmed

when, on November 8, 1917, the British
Foreign Minister, Arthur j. Balfour,
with the cordial approval Of the British
War Cabinet, uttered what may be re-
garded as the Magma Charta of the new
Jewish commonwealth:
His majesty's government views
with favor the establishment in Pales-
tine OF national home for the Jewish
people and will use it's best endeavors
to facilitate the achievement of this
object, it being clearly understood that

Many Christians
Aided the Dream

In this work the Rothschilds, Sir
Moses Montctiorc and other eminent
Jews took leading part. Christians
looking for the Second Advent also, as
of old, gave their aid. Among those
who practically sought the acquisition
of Palestine by purchase or otherwise
for a new Jewish state were Walter
Cresson and James Finn, respectively
the American and the British consul at
Jcrusalem; Laurence Oliphant the
noted traveller and author, and the
philanthropist, Lord Shaftcsbury Lord
Falmerston favored the recreation Of
Jewish state in Palestine, under Brit
lsh protection, as a means Of control
ling the overland route to British
India, and Lord Beaconsfield and Lord
Salisbury inclined in the same dircc-
ton and supported ELEPHANTS efforts to
secure q concession from Turkey which
would permit the foundation of an au-
tonomous Jewish colony in Palestine.
Nor should we forget George Eliot, the
publication of whose romance, Daniel
Deronda," in 1876 gave an enormous
impetus to the movement.
The Russian prosecutions of the Jews
in the reign of Alexander III gave
further stimulus to the demand for
Jewish State. Various pamphlets on
the subjects were published, and the
poems of Miss Emma Lazarus, written
in the United States but read the world
around, were almost Tyrtaan in their
effect. The "Chovevi Zion" society
started q great movement for the
founding of Jewish agricultural colo
MES in Palestine. Mr.. Cazalet, the pro-
moter Of a Euphrates Valley railway
scheme, in cooperation with Laurence
Oliphant, sought to have zone at each
side OF that railway set apart as re-
fuge for Jews fleeing from Russian per-
secution. The colossal colonization
schemes of Baron Maurice de Hirsch
are familiar to the world. Put all these
were mere forerunncrs Of the real
leader of ZjOnism

Fulhlment of the
Hope Is Nearer

For thousands Of years/that solemn
commemoration has been observed and
such words have been spoken, but
not until now has it been possible to
utter confidently the hope for the res
toration of Israel in the Immediately
coming year.
How was it brought about? We need
not rehearsc the story Of the Zionist
movement, that lipeal heir Of that ear
lier inspiration which caused Zcrubba-
bel and his fellow exiles returning
from Babylon to rebuild the Temple,
and which in later day OF glory gave
the Naccabecs victory over Antiochus
Epiphanes. Through all the ages
since the first Captivity the dream of
restoration has been cherished, and
through thirty centuries succeeding
generations of loyal Jews have been
repeating with unwavering courage
the Psalmist's pledge:
III forget thee, 0 Jerusalem, lie,
my right hand forget her cunning. If
] do not remember thee, let my tongue
clcaye to the roof of my mouth; If
prefer not Jerusalem above my chief
Joy"

REG ago, endeavored to lead Israel

Cyrus Adler relates in this connec-
ton the following on the authority Of
an unpublished letter of Jared Sparks:
"At the outbreak of the Revolutionary
War Mr. Gomez, of New York, pro-
FOSe0 TO MEMBER or the continental
Congress that he form company of
soldiers for service. The member of
Congress demonstrated with Mr.. Co
mez on the score of age, he then being
sixtyeight, to which Mr. Gomez replied
that he could stop a bullet as we'll as

otto activity of many Hebrews. One of
the most distinguished officers of the
American army was Brigadier General

a Julian DattallOn, 10 recon-
~ quer the Promised Land for
the reestablshment of Israeli
Such was the thrilling announcement
which invested last weeks Purm festl-
val with unwonted joy. and which will
give to the coming Passover celebra-
ton significance which it has not had
for many centuries. Years ago, when
Herzl and Zangwill and others raised
the standard Of Zionism, the world
thought of them as Missionaries, and
even many Jews discountenanced their
plans as impracticable and doomed to
disappointment. To-day the faith of
the British government is pledged to
the fulfilment of that plan; British
arms have taken Jerusalem and practi
cally all of Judea from the Turks, and
a. this very moment hundreds of young
Jews, enlisted in a Judean Battalion
and other organizations of the British
army, are on their way to Palestine to
aid in the complete reconquest of that
land in preparation for the establish
menC OIL an luuepeNueLL JEWISH Gull
monwealth.
1t may be imagined, then, with what
rev inspiration this year Jews through
out the world have celebrated the Sab
bath of the Song, with the victorious
paean, II will sing unto the Lord. for
He hath triumphed gloriously; the
horse and his rider hath He thrown
into the sea-"
Last week Purim, the Feast of Lots,
was celebrated, in memory of the de-
liverance of Israel from the murderous
designs Of Haman. A few weeks
hence, on the fifteenth day of the
month Nissan in the year 5678. the
Passover will be comm emorated; when,
81 Seder, the father OF the house will
lift up the dish OF unleavened bread
and say:
"This is the bread of affiction,
which our fathers did eat in the
Land of Egypt. Let all who are
hungry enter and eat thereof; and
all who are needy, come and cele-
brate the Passover. This year we
celebrated it here, but in the year
to come we hope to celebrate it in
the Land OF Israel. This year we
are as slaves, being accounted aliens,
but next year we shall be children
Of freedom in the Land of Israel"
