PALESTINE'S DESTINY

.. Sir.—WJiat :i rdex'-urp to r ail E. A. Gilmore’s letter 1 I had not come across "Israel Etpis," but rrant'd this short extract as a thrilling addition to my present library of eutfiiifts bh this subject, 'i'hc year 18*18 certainly takes us back; and in those days Palestine and Israel were forefront news, as to-day. In 1 Sid the Roy. John Wilson. Liverpool, published hooks, in one of which lie quotes from Dr. Ahbadio. tlie Huguenot refugee and Dean oT Kilaloe, whose works were published in 17lt:i. and those truth:: wen- then perhaps wider known than they are at the present time. Il comes as a rebuke to realise that with all their past knowledge for our present profit; we~havo iiot really progressed in common knowledge of Bible history, geography and what- 1 may call “God’s politics” in which all. things :paroe to confirm the word that, “God hath remembered His mercy and His truth, towards the House of Israel.” The,wilfully blind among our Bible students would do well to concentrate on I Clrron. V:2. wherein lies the key to Britain and Palestine to-day. and likewise the key to the greatest mystery arid thriller ever published. Why don't our amateur detectives leave the lesser writers unread and concentrate on the promises of .Abraham and the way, they .are being fulfilled under our (collectively); blind ■ eves? Our. present national hero and leader, Mr. Churchill, wrote in 1982: “Let tire men of science and of learning expand their knowledge and probe with their researcher, every detail of the records which have been preserved to us from these dim ages. All they will do is to fortify tlie grand simplicity- and essential accuracy of the recorded truth which have lighted so far the nilgrimage of men.”—"TOWARDS GREATER UNDERSTANDING."
