' 1‘ibl*:* H»uo**r.'Palestine Virtually owned by Jews.“ Baron BothschiUl, at the time of the last loan of 200,000,000 francsmade to Turkey, accepted as security a mortgage on the whole of Palestiine.”Such is the statement of a Frenchnewspaper. The item is going the rounds and is not disputed. I had not previously read of this transaction, virtually transferring the holy land into Jewish hands. When did it occur? What is the date of this remarkable mortgage? Who can furnish the world a copy of it? Surely this is a grand point in history. God’s clock strikes. Does it begin the end of the treading down of Jerusalem by the Gentiles. Does it announce the commencement of the justiQcation of the Iloly Hill or holy places, against which God’s indignation has for centuries burned ? Does it auger the return of the Israelites to their old country from which this singular people have been so long dispossessed, in such numbers as to make possible Ezek. xxxvili. .S-12 ? Who knows the mysterious future?Well, as II. L. H. says, “ God knows what to do with the Jewish people, if the brethren don’t.” Even so. And he will do his will and accomplish his purpose. I have no great fondness for a nation that slew the Lord, and for eighteen centuries have never repented but rather boasted of their deed and reviled their victim. But let u« watch the signs of the times, and see what cometh to pass. Having no sterotyped creed concerning these questions relating to the millennial age, but with a disposition to do my own thinking on all doctrine and theology, untrammeled by man, I keep my mind open to conviction, and my eyes open to the light, though, meanwhile, I am by some styled a Judaizer, and by others a Jew hater! And then the sage advice I have had during twenty years past from many enthusiastic souls, touching this Jew question; it would make a small volume. I can’t begin to think of being nosed about by such persons. Let God speak in his providences; we will all hear him.—D. T. T.The list of advent workers furnishesfew, if any, brighter names than D. T. T. and H. L. II. How many years I have been instructed by their intelligent and faithful pens. I can not tell how glad I am to see them passive and reverent before God on the Jew question ; and giad they are persistent in their right to do their own thinking.Officioosness, arrogance and oracular conceit are of no weight on either side of any question. The truth does not wait on human follies. We all learned
