for a fox, a swiftly
gliding viper, or a belated Bedaween who may stable his horse in a
deserted room where once a happy family dwelt in the long ago.

The stone cities are waiting and every stone in door and window
seems to be crying out:

"We are waiting till they return whose right alone it is to live and
dwell here."

But what of the nations that scattered them and made them to suffer?

Where is Babylon the proud empire that took them captive; where is
Babylon the golden city that saw them hang their harps upon the
willows, sit down upon the banks of the strange river and give way
to weeping as they yearned for their own land again?

Where is Greece whose phalanxes swept through their fields and
spoiled their vineyards?

Where is Rome whose iron legions took their city, put thousand on

Napoleon characterized as the "child of victory."

If to-day you should seek a representative in every department of
human genius and endeavour you would find that representative to be
either a Jew or a Jewess.

Fifteen millions of Jews!

What are these fifteen millions of Jews but fifteen millions of
proofs that the book we call the Bible is true, is inerrant,
infallible?

Fifteen millions of demonstrations and fifteen millions of
indubitable proofs.

By so much as they prove that God keeps faith with His w
