ages. there is none 50 pregnant with
interest to US. as is the Jewish people
In view OF the fact that the lirst
writings given US in the Holy Scrip
lures were given By the great Jewish
leader MoSes-and OF the further
fact that the entire old Testament
Scriptures were Jewish record OF
occurrences in the many aud varied
experiences they elucidate. aud that

When God called Abraham. the
father of the faithful. 10 leave his
home and kindred. and 10 20 into Il
nnd that He would show him. II
promised 10 make OF him great
nation. and to multiply his seed as
the stars OF Heaven. and as the sands
of the sea shore. and through his
seed to bless all families of the
earth.
The jew believed these promises.
aud believes them yet. and is looking
Tor and longing for their fuliillment
The Prophets OF old believed these
promises. and uttered worlds OF wis
dom. concerning them. that they prob
ably did not comprehend the full
meaning of. themselves.
The New Testament writers. being
Jews. also dwelt upon these thoughts.
and the Great Apostle Paul explained
what was AT that time an apparent
failure of the promises. in .heSe
words, blindness, in part has hap
pened unto IsrGl. until the fullness
OF the GentileS be come in" and he
went on TO explain the blindness was
caused by unbelief. However. in the
same connection he declared that God
had not cast of his people forever.
but that He would in due time re-
claim them and that 'all lsrel would
be saved.
The inspired writer's and teachers
of the Old and New Testament times
understood. or at least proclaimed
much clearer knowledge of Gods
great plan. than the rank and file
could comprehend. Ii is even so yet.
but as the great events OF history de-
velop we are more and more con-
vinced that the work and sacrifice OF
Jesus Christ at His first visit to the
world. was OF sufficient broadness
TO take in great deal more, than
our finite minds. in our corrupted
and sinful state have yet been able
to fully grasp.
The Jew. at our Lords first ap
pearance. was sure in his own mind
that salvation was for no neOrle ON
earth. except himself. lie mad never
been able to comprehend that he. as
the descendant of Abraham. was to
constitute the seed, with Christ
their head II through which Gods
blessing would flow to all the families
of the earth. Strange as II may seem
to our enlightened CD intelligence, /
we are making. TO great extent. the
Identical same blunder. We believe
that nobody except the church Is to
be saved. when the real facts of Scrip
ture is. that the church body of Christ
will unite with her head. the
Lord Jesus-at His second appear
ing. aud will constitute the channel
of blessing for the world-heathen
peoples during the thousand year
reign of our Lord. and His bride,
when the work OF restitution is being
carried out See Acts 8: 1921.

referred to, the Prophet Amos. look
ing down the ages says. In that day
will | raise up the tabernacle OF David |
that is fallen. and close up the
breaches thereof: and | will rise up
his ruins. and | will build IT as in
the DAYS of old And | will bring
again the captivity of my people OF
Isrpl. and they shall build the waste
cities and inhabit them: and they
shall plant vineyards and drink the
wine thereof-seems like there won't
be much rigid prohibition-theys shall
also make gardens and eat the fruit
of them. and | will plant them upon
their land. and they shall no more be
pulled up out of their land, which l
gave them, saith the Lord thy God.
Amos 9: HILLS.
The above prophecy cannot be in-
terpreted in symbolic sense; but
only in a literal sense. for the specific
reason that the planting Is to be on
their land, and the rebuilding signi-
fies the building of that which had
formally been built and torn down.
For the past half century we have
been hearing a great deal about the
Zionist Movement" This Is a move
ment of Jews back to Palestine. The
Is financed by wealthy
Jews OF various countries, and Is
coming very much In the public eye.
Years ago the idea Of rebuilt Jeru-
salem. under control Of the Jew was
not countenanced, however later de-
has about convinced the
more skeptical that its hard for
them to kick against the pricks.'
In 1910. the total population Of Je-
rusalem was l02. 900. OF this number
so 900 were Jews, 10000 Christians,
End $4,000 Mohammedans.
Ci the 10000 Christians, only
about 1000 of them were protest
ants. SO you see. the Jew was in the
vast majority. ten years ago. and the
events of the past decade have been
epochal.

pinching OF the Turk. the revolt
