By

stored in the national treasury ever
since they had been carried away In the
first deportation. 1t shows how at times 1t
seemed almost beyond their belief, as II
they were dreaming. Their Joy at the
fact that they were free and going home
was irrepressible. Words failed them
and they were overcome with hysterical
laughter. All along the journey they
told the heather in song and story how
Jehovah had blessed them and set them
free. In the depths of their faith and
Joy they commenced to realize their
possibilities as united. spiritual nation.
The pilgrims chorus was filled with
prayer that Jehovah would restore
them as nation and gather them all
back with great spiritual revival, just
as He filled the dry brooks in the south
with water at certain seasons. They
saw in their return the turning OF the
days of tears and trials into triumph,
and pleaded that they be kept by Divine
power to be workers with God. Their
faith gave expression to song, just as
the refugees of Belgium and France
had when they went back after the
World War to try to locate their old
homes amid the desolation and destruc-
ton of war. The fact that they were
to be temple builders filled their hearts
with Joy and song as they journeyed
toward the homeland, where they hoped
to participate ip the worship of Jehovah
in the restored and rebuilt temple.
Like the early settlers and colonists of
America, the returning exiles were
moved by the greatest of all spiritual
motives to worship and glorify their
God. While they returned small in
numbers. they we're destined by their
very narrowness and loyalty to their
ideals to make Judaism the cradle and
birthplace Of nearly all those ideals that
we cherish and prize as a people.
