A NEW JEWISH COLONY.
fhe Record has the following :—A united Jewish colony is about to be formed in the district of Gilead and Aloab, the Sultan of Turkey having granted one million and a half acrcs of land for this purpose, in consideration of a large amount of money to be advanced by Jewish capitalists. The new colony is to be subject to a prince of Jewish race and religion, though tributary to the Porte. It has been also affirmed that within the last few years a wealthy Jew has lent some £0,000,000 sterling to the Turkish Government on the security of the land of Palestine, so that if it be true that the Porte is insolvent, there is reason to conclude that the whole of the Promised Land may ere long again be recognized as the rightful property of the Jews. Such a movement would essentially affect Christian missions amongst them, and its consequences upon the world would be indescribably influential.
