Capture of Jerusalem

Hearts were glad at Christmas time
q year ago at the proclamation or Gen
eral Allenby's triumphal entry into
Jerusalem as a climax to the campaign
that had been carried on from the
banks Of the Nile, in Egypt, where
Joseph and Mary had fled more than
1900 years ago with their Babe to es-
cape persecution at the hands of
Yerod. The capture of Jerusalem was
heralded afar as the augury of i'm
pending victory and peace. The joy
over it's recovery was heightened, too,
by knowledge of the fact that General
Allenby and his crusaders had fought
SO carefully and so humanely that not
a sacred spot in the City of David had
been marred by any ravaging shells.
Jerusalem was spared in it's entirety,
So far as the Allies were concerned,
and it has yet to be substantially
proved that the Turk mutilated or de-
stroyed the sacred relics before re
treating.
But this year Christmas comes as a
climax to the more wonderful deeds of
the last twelve months-the complete
subjugation of the Turk from Jaffa
to Aleppo the total collapse of his
cruel domain; his abject surrender to
the mighty forces of democracy. After
Jerusalem came Jericho, in the valley
of the Jordan, famous in the days Of
Moses and Joshua, the city through

General AlIenby, after capturing
the various cities of the Holy Land,

the Moslems in permitting the Chris

Turks, the Allied commander permit
ted the followers of Mohamrhed to re-
tain their stronghold in the Mosque of
Omar. 1t is to be presumed the same
condition of affairs maintained else
where, and so on this Christmas it is
likely that in the Grotto of the Ma

Peace on earth, good will to men"

centuries of Moslem control, the sa-

find themselves this momentous Christ
mas under the banners of the Chris
tan nations of the earth-the Cross
triumphant over the Crescent-with
all the world on the threshold of
peace on earth, good will to men,"
There is a new enchantment this
year in the Church of the Nativity
over there in Palestine that marks
the traditional spot where the Son Of
God was born. Likewise, the Church
of the Holy Sepulcher, the traditional
site of Golgotha, carries a new message
to the Crusaders who have come up
from the far corners of the earth to
bring back to Christendom the home
of the Saviour. Every mother who
nourns for her son lost in battle may
gain inspiration from that reclaimed
Via Dolorosa along which Christ toiled
under the Cross on the way to death.
Our men have died these last few
years that the world might be freed
of militarism and go forward to the
era of peace on EARTH; and out of
the maelstrom of war, as part of the
