Jews -- Restoration; Zionism -- History
To conclude the way we began mention must be made of Christian
religious literature, which continues to support Zionism in its own way.
The Rev. Earle Langston published recently his ideas on the subject.
The Christadelphians have published ample literature to which the
learned Mr. Walker has contributed extensively. Mr. Frank Jannaway, an
ardent Christadelphian whose interest in Jews and their homeland dates
back some forty years, and who has paid several visits to Palestine
at intervals of a few years, and has thus enjoyed some splendid
opportunities of watching the gradual development of the Holy Land,
has published a book, _Palestine and the Jews_ (1914), of which two new
editions, one of them entitled _Palestine and the Powers_, have since
appeared. His knowledge is wide and thorough. He sees Palestine as the
land of the future, and every new development is to him the fulfilment
of a prophecy. He offers biblical chapter and verse for the happenings
that have been convulsing the world, and in a way which reminds
one of the oldest English pro-Zionist literature of the seventeenth
century, which links up the position of the present and future aspects
with sacred prediction. His views favour the Jewish cause and show
considerable and correct acquaintance with the Zionist movement. It
must finally be observed that during the last two years a great number
of excellent articles have appeared in English newspapers and magazines,
and some also in the French Press, in which great sympathy is expressed
with the Zionist cause from a political, as well as from a humanitarian
point of view.
ZIONISM DURING THE WAR
1914‒1918
GENERAL SURVEY
THE year 1914 will stand out as the Great Divide in contemporary
history. It was a year of endings and beginnings. Humanity left an age
behind it, and entered upon an age in which old things have passed away
and all things had to become new.
