THE CHOSEN PEOPLE, THE LAND, AND THE BOOK Notes Concerning th e Jew s and Prophecy Compiled by Jam es A. Vaus, Superintendent of Jewish Work, Bible In stitu te of Los Angeles , American-Palestine Steamers P ly Jew ish F lag A new steam ship company, under the name of “The American-Palestine L ine,” has been recently formed. This agency will ply steamers, flying th e Jew ish flag, directly between New York and H aifa, Palestine. The “P resident A rth u r,” a 21,000 ton vessel, will in augu rate these sailings beginning March 12th. Does not th is announcement conjure up in th e m ind a picture of the time when ships, from many ports, flying the Jew ish flag, shall hasten the re tu rn of the Sons of Israel to the land of th e F athers, as Isaiah h a s foretold? The w riter recently requested O. Zimmerman, Superin tenden t of Seamen’s Work in San Francisco, to arrange th rough one of his associates for th e presentation of the Gospel message to th e Jew ish imm igrants, who will be ta k ing passage on these steam ers. Word has been received th a t (previous to our request) such arrangem ents had already been made. We desire to co-operate if possible w ith th is work by fu rnishing Gospel literatu re in Hebrew, Yiddish and Eng lish, for distribution among these Jew ish passengers. P alestin ian R epresentation in th e League of Nations . Dr. M. H indes, in ah article in th e “New P alestin e” says: “The Z ionist movement must begin to th ink , or at least to dream , of having its own representative in the League of Nations. There is much to say on the question of whether th a t is possible and how it is possible. I wish to rem ark at th is point only th a t th e legal' representation of the Jewish Agency in th e League is far less fan tastic th a n representa tion of th e Jewish people as such, th rough th e Jew ish World Congress, fo r instance. “But, as long as representation in the League of Nations remains a m a tte r of the fu tu re, Zionism must have a proper delegation AT the League. The la tte r policy depends en tirely upon ourselves, and every month th a t we remain w ithout a representative a t Geneva endangers our political status. “H itherto no though t has been given to the m atter. In im portant cases, our leaders themselves have come to the sessions of the League, and in th e intervals Zionism has been unrepresented a t Geneva. The difficulties encountered in the ratification of the Palestine Mandates showed how im po rtan t it is to have constant contact w ith Geneva. And g reater difficulties will appear in the fu tu re .” ' The Gateway to th e P rom ised Land “Mount Carmel is situated in a very im portant position a t th e present time. The old city of H aifa, lying a t its foot, has become, as it were, the Gate to the Prom ised Land. The Egypt, Sinai and P alestine Railway has its term inus and headquarters here; th e Beyrout-Damascus Railway as well as the H edjas and T rans-Jordania Railway have also their term inus here; the new motor rou te from Bagdad, ancient Babylonia, has likewise here its headquarters. The n atu ral bay of Acre and Haifa has become a very im po rtan t landing place for the ‘retu rn ing rem nan t,’ and the headquarters for the Zionist imm igrants has been established h ere.”— Jewish Missionary Herald. P alestine Imm igrants from America Dr. C. Weizmann, the leader of Zionism, in a recent address, made the following statem en t regarding imm igra tion from America to P alestine: “The American Jew coming into P alestine can be divided into two distinct classes: The young unm arried ones, in most cases, are of the H alutzim type—the young American Jew, w illing to take a hand and share in the (Continued on page 144)

By W . C. Stevens This is one of the very best sm all books on the Second Coming of Christ— and so dif ferent. It does not , aim to be a treatise upon the Lord’s com ing. It merely passes on bits of revelation that seem to the writer to have been opened up to him by the Spirit through the Word. In these days of so much wrong teaching of so- called Kingdom truth, that is a book to be studied. You will find it is exceptionally helpful. ______Paper, 35 cents; Cloth, 75c
