It is difficuit for the twentieth century man, be he Jew or Gentile, to realize how small was the stage upon which was en- acted those great events which have shaped religious belief and which have moulded political action in all the occidental world for nearly 2.000 years. It is even more dif- ficult to realize that Palestine today is *he home of the miserable descendants of those same people who were there when it De- came. by successive dramas, the Holy Land of Israel, Christendom and Islam; and that ose people now are engaged In a struggle tor pe freedom which has for first time united many men of man, in this country of religious strife. It is difficult for Christians in America, hearing at this glad holiday season the ever new message announcing the birth of the Tince of Peace, to realize that In the Holy Land it s necessary every hour of every day for Mohammedan soldiers to stand on guard in Christian churches to prevent the rival sects of the followers of the lowly Jesus from cutting each other's throats, and from slaying the Jews in their own city. the ips. hills cal ne faiths It is difficult, in this modern day, to re- alize why the physical misery and degrada- tion of the Holy Land should not:be over- come and alleviated by the hosts of Chris- tian pligrims who annually make che journey to the scenes of the every-day life of their Saviour. It is difficult to realize at in this eountry where was reveuled e religion of cleanliness that mortal men should be more dirty than In any other place on earth. It is difficult to realize that in this land where the Great Physician healed the lepers and restored sight to the blind, that there should be more lepers and more blind men than in any other eountry. It is difficult to realize that n Palestine, from whence came the inspiration for the three religions which have made possible every progressive step In the western world that men live and have their being amid practically unchanged from those which obtained 2.000 years ago. It is difficult to realize that among all the peo- ple of all the worid the people of Palestine should be least responsive to the eivillzsing influence of the rallroad and the refining inspiration of the telegraph. But at this particular Christmas season in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and nine, the Christian world, the remnant of Israel and the household of the prophet of Allah may rejoice together for the first time In the fulfiliment, for all of Jerusalem Lord.

What a great bration it was in Jerusalem! Young men of every creed united in the demonstration of joy. Christians arm in arm with Jews and Mohammedans went boldly into the hollest of all holy Christian churches, the Church of the Holy Sepuichre, and gave thanks for their new found liberty. Mo- hammedans took with them Jews and Christians to the platform of the temple. surrounding the mosque of Omar, and gave vent to their joyous feeling. Jews took Christians and Turkish political allles into the sacred precincts of their synagogues Every difference of faith was forgotten in the common joy. Of course this religious union lasted only for a day and now old lines are drawn again, but they are not as faut as they used to be, and never again will they mean death to the tres- passer. Turkey is free and the holy land is delivered from the curse of despotism. | Not tee In the sense that we Americans know freedom, for the habits of eenturies may not be overthrown ‘entirely in a mo- ment, but free in the sense that for the first time the spirit of liberty and of uni- versal brotherhood is permitted to Influence | the minds of the people.
