Palestine has played on the imagin-
ligiOis inspiration. To Jerusalem the
Jewish people have always looked for
redemption. Thru ages of persecution
and torture they never have lost hope
of returning some day to the Promised
Land. They have held fast with nm
swerving tenacity to what seemed hut
wild dream.
They have ever been ready to fOrego
personal comfort and material adj
vantages that the ancient traditions of
their fathers might he perpetuntctl
from generation to generation. A smnll
minority have kept alive the ancient
lnngunee that was considered dead by
the rest of the world.
Hated and oppressed by their fel-
lows. they have perpetuated customs
which seemed strange in their environ-
ment. Scattered all over the world and
under many governments they still he
lieved they would be able some day
w vi
OF which they werc robbed two thou
sand years ago.
Is such thing possible? Can this
wonder be accomplished? Such were
my thoughts ns I went to the gather

week. The idea did not appeal very
strongly to the mind of the American
Jew who has come to this country. not
