Last June, Premier Lloyd George said in the British Parliament, accord ing to The Times of London, that Sir Stewart Samuel, commissioner to Po land for that purpose, had made a report on the terrible condition of the Jews in Poland and that the report.had been submitted to the League of Na tions; but that Sir James Eric Drum mond, the Roman Catholic seeretary- general of the League, objected to pub lication of the report. Papal Hatred of Jews Jewish rights were not disturbed in Western Europe till the Church of Rome gained ascendency there in the sixth and seventh centuries. But clergy and emperors under papal domination subjected them to hardships and perse cution scarcely paralleled by the atro cities of the Turkish Sultans. Both Phocas and Heraclius as Roman Cath olic Emperors deliberately sought to exterminate the whole Jewish race, and the latter Emperor used diplomatic pressure to induce barbarous Teutonic monarchs to join in that monstrous in ternational crime. Give Jews the Gospel Never was there more to encourage us to give the Gospel to the Jew. In the United States, the Jewish commit tee which translated the Old Testament into English for the English-speaking Jews of America, are now busy trans lating the New Testament for the same purpose. What a marvel this is! The time to favour Zion is surely upon us. The hands of every Jewish missionary ought to be strengthened. The forces of every Jewish mission ought to be doubled and trebled. The treasury of these Missions ought to be filled.

Rachael’s Tomb A Jewish publication at Saloniki has started a movement to restore Rachael’s tomb into attractive shape. Siberian Pilgrims Large numbers are pouring into Pal estine from Siberia. Having to traverse the Gobi desert and China, the pilgrims have suffered untold hardships. When it is God’s time for the Jew to move, nothing can hold him back. Jewish Orphans There are said to be 300,000 Jewish orphans in Europe as a result of the war. These children have ■ seen horrors that have made them old beyond their years. Many are stunted and deformed from their privations. Their only hope is in help from America. Gloom Among Zionists There is an increasing gloom among Zionists because of the dissensions among themselves. American Zionists are bent on practical work in Palestine. They are opposed to the use of money for. any purpose other than purely ad- -ministrative and Palestinian. Zionists in other quarters want to appropriate funds for the aid of Jews outside of Palestine. Vatican Influence Against Jews Newspaper corporations serving the (laily press have suppressed the facts touching atrocious and wholesale slaughter of Jews in the past year in the European lands under Vatican in fluence. The only news has been in the form of brief paragraphs tucked in ob scure places.
