LONG IN HOLY CITY
American Resident Of Jerusalem
for Many Years.
N. N. WheIan First to Welcome Brit
lsh Troops When They Entered
Was Representative There
Of the Bible Society:

Although 1t is a year since Allenby's
victorious army. entered Jerusalem,
and the greatest Christian shrine In
the world was wrested forever from
the clutches of the infldel Turk, one OF
the most striking episodes Of all those
that marked that entry has only re-
Gently become known.
TO Americans this episode Is OF
especial interest since 1t came as the
climax Of perhaps the most picturesque
Of all the many services that have
been rendered by the allied nations.
and to humanity generally, by individ-
ual Americans, from Gerard and Brand
Whltlock down, since the beginning OF
the war.
For nearly three years, or from
early In 1915 until the deliverance OF
Jerusalem in December. 1917. one Of
the oldest and most famous Of British
organizations remained in unblissful
ignorance as to what had become OF
Its depot" in the Holy City. This or
ganization is the British and Foreign
Bible society, which like its great SIS
ter organization In the United States,
exists for the purpose Of distributing
the Good Book among Christians in
every part Of the world.
In February, 1915, or soon after
Turkey threw In her lot with the CEN
trail powers. the Bible society's depot
In Jerusalem, which contained many
thousands of volumes, had to be aban-
doned hastily. The workers there
were brought to Egypt on an American
warship. From that day until quite re-
Gently nothing whatever was known re-
garding the fate Of the depot or its
contents. It was assumed that both
had probably been destroyed by the
Turks. But then came letter from
the society's secretary at Port Said in
closing one from the commander OF
the London Scottish, the first British
regiment to enter the Holy City. In
this officers letter the striking story
was told Of how a venerable American
resident Of Jerusalem, by name NJ. NJ.
Whelan, came forward spontaneously
after the abandonment Of the Bible
society's depot, took up his residence
therein and courageously "carriel on"
as its custodian.
ut may interest you to know" this
officer wrote, that as entered Jeru-
salem with the first troops, was met
by quaint old American, named Whe-.
Ian, seventy years Of age, who told me
he represented the Bible society. and
presented me with beautiful copy Of
the Scriptures"
Beyond the fact that NJ. NJ. Whelan
Is a naturalized Irish citizen Of the
United States, and that he had been
living in Jerusalem for several years
before the war. little is known by the
Bible society at present regarding the
picturesque character to whom 1t owes
so great debt Of gratitude. 1t Is not
even known from what part Of the
United States he comes. The society
has, however, received photograph
Of its venerable American benefactor,
which shows him to be truly patri-
archal type.
