A Jew said to him, ''You have

Palestine is full Of stones. An
Arab legend has it that the angels
once flew over Palestine with a
sack Of stones and that the sack
suddenly burst and the rocks
were scattered over the land.
One Of the Jewish sages has a
different explanation.
He says that God purposely
covered Palestine with stones, so
that the nations would not covet
it too much, and so that the Jews,
might reclaim it,. These stones
have been our protection.

The matter may have compli-
cations far beyond England and
Scotland, for the Scots say that
the stone originally was the one
mentioned in the Bible on which
Jacob slept. Says the Bible:
And Jacob went out from
BeeEsheba And he lighted
upon a certain place. and tarried
there all night :. and he took Of
the stones Of that place and put
them for his pillows and lay
down in that place to sleep. And
he dreamed And he called
the name Of that place Bethel"
The New York Times therefore
editorially remarks that the
Scotch claim to the 'Stone of
Scone" is false and that it really
should go back to Bethel. It
belongs by right to Israel.
Thus far. however. Ben Gurion
has made no claim to the stone.
Since Israel has no king. it does
not need any stone in its corona.

because we live within a stones
throw Of one another. that is no
reason to throw stones at each

In fact, l rather esteem the
Scotch for stealing this stone. It
shows that they are not money
loving people, as they are often
described. To them this stone is
not simply a stone. Jacob dream
ed on that Stone-a dream about
angels going up and down. I

People who sleep and dream
on stones are likely to see angels.
