Seneca Lake
News And Views From
The Seneca Lake Region

BY Bishop j. Bethel Bates D. d.
Seneca Lake, April 23-We have
been making some study on the
Jewish situation in Palestine. We
receive several copies of Jewish
periodicals published here in u. S.,
by the Christian Jews. What is
meant by Christian Jews, is those
that accept Christ as their saviour
This Christian Jew population is
popular in Palestine and are begin
ming to resent openly the growing
prestige of American Zionism. A
civil war in Palestine would be
disastrous for the whole Zionist
movement. Our meaning of Zion
ism if the Jew that does not believe
in Jesus Christ today, that He has
not yet come. Then there is the old
orthodox Jewish movement; but,
many of the Zionists are of the old
orthodox believers. Prophecy tells
us, that the Jewish believers in God,
(orthodox) will return to Palestine,
rebuild their temple, and there
await the coming of Christ. This
Jewish God only, believers say,
they know where the ARK of the
Covenant" is, and when their temple
is ready for it, it will be secretely
removed from its secret hiding place
to the temple, and once this "Ark
of the Covenant" is in the temple,
they, these Jews, will be safe, as
they were in the days when they
had the "Ark of the Covenant. For
location of the ARK of the Cow
enant", see (Rev. 11:19), many
wonder just how these orthodox
Jews are going about it to secure
this "Ark". A ''holy war" between
the Arabs and Jews is in readiness,
whenever the signal is given. The
Jew declares the land belongs to
(Palestine); yet God expressly de-
clares the land is His The land is
His, to give to whom He will land
He will give it to the seed of Abra-
ham, those that believe in the Lord,
Jesus Christ; not to the rebels who
reject the "Holy Covenant" of
Christ. All man-made efforts to re-
gain the land, God must resist. God
will not give over the land to those
that flout and disregard His word.
The Palestine question is beSet with
many thorny problems, and settle
ment satisfactory to all concerned
seems now impossible. Europe is be-
ing faced with many difficult prob
lens. Uncle Sam is scratching his
head. The whole world is dizzy.
What is the secret of the trouble?
1t is, lack of Christianity in the
whole world, It is mans greed for
land and filthy lucre. How will it all
end? Read your Bible for the
answer?
Ranchers have their oats and Glow
er seed all sown. Many have their
spuds in the ground, and some
garden started. If the weather this
week, is moderate, some corn will
be planted, this week, as we'll as
next week ,and most of the corn
will be in the ground before the
first of May. Many farmers are
awakening to the idea of Joining
their grange and farm organizations
This is being smart, as well as good
business for the farmer. The farmer
must protect himself from price
fixers. Farmers have too long neg
lected his grange and farm affiliated
organizations. Every kind of bust
ness and labor have their organiza-
ton (union) for their own protec-
ton. Farmers must do likewise;
United, they can stand; divided,
they will fall''. They must have
price protection, and there is no bet
ter way of getting it, than thru their
farm organizations. They must rally
to the standard.
