Though a small land, the coun- | try that the Israelites were cai upon to conquer was the very cen of the world of Its day. No other ce could have been chosen for the home of the Hebrew people which would have more advantages for re- ceiving impressions and passing them on to other nations. It was a stra- fegic missionary center, round which the forces of clvilization and reli- gion were destined to revolve.

In that purified land transgressors and sinners will be destroyed and the na- tions of the carth will be attracted to crusalem. e ot the outcomes of that day of piritual conquest Isaiah predicted would be a world without war.
