 The ))oint to which I presume to direct youv atten- 
 tion stands intimately connected with the probable 
 break-up of the Turkisli Empire, and relates to the 
 l>osition to be assigned to that portion of it kno^Yn as 
 "The Holy Land." > i ' 
 
 Ai) a clergyman of the Church of England, it might 
 rightly com])ort with my oHicial position to say some- 
 thing on the subject from the standpoint of the pro- 
 l)httical passages of the Holy .Scriptures. But I refrain, 
 and wish to deal with it i)rincipally on political and 
 iutoruatlonal grounds. 
 
 A small section of Turkish territory, included in the 
 Province of Syria, belonged anciently to a people who 
 have exercised a mightier inlluence for good upon tlie 
 human race ihan any other nation of ancient or modem 
 tiuu-s, By the name of Hebrews, Israelites or Jews, 
 this people has bten known to the world for consider- 
 ably more than ikne thousand years. Their history 
 during the whole of this lengthened period has been 
 (jnc of uiiiuuulleled marvt-l and of thrilling interest. 
 Tlioy were originally called and set sx])&ri for a sjieciai 
 pmpose in connection with the world's wcliare; and a 
 spicial Providence has ever Avatched over them from 
 the conniiencement of their national existence. Their 
 monarchy was at the zenith of its glory before the 
 foundation of Rome! They Avere contemj)oraneous 
 with thf mo-^t ancient enipires in the world. Their 
 nation was com[>aratively old before even the great

 iiately connoctod with tlie probaUo 
 Turkish Empire, and relates to the 
 ignod to that portion of it known as 
 
 I of the Cluirch of England, it might 
 k'ith my oHicial position to say some- 
 ject froui the standpoint of the pro- 
 of the Holy Scriptures. But I refrain,

 inds. 
 
 of Turkish tei-ritory, included in the 
 I, belonged anciently to a people who 
 mightier iniluenco foi- good upon the 
 any other nation of ancient or laodem 
 aiiie of Hebrews, Isi-aelites or Jews, 
 \.vn known to the world for consider- 
 hri:e ihousavd yeava. Their liistory 
 
 of this lengtliened period has been 
 od niarvfl and of thrilling interest, 
 ally called and set ai)art for a special 
 tion with the world's Avclfare; and a 
 e has ever Avatehed over them from 
 It of their national existence. Their 
 ; the zenith of its glory before the 
 oine! They were contemiioranoous 
 icieiit empires in the world. Their 
 aiatively old Viefore even the great 
 
 empire of Babylon reached the full development of ita 
 splendour. They saw the rise of Uie Persian dynasty, 
 and its subvereion by the more famoua empire of Mace- 
 donia, under Alexander the Great. Some ages lat^T, 
 they also witnessed the gradual rise of the Roman 
 Power, and the amazing development of its iron , 
 strength. In an evil day they became involved in a 
 deadly antagonism with this mighty Power. In the 
 year 70 of the Chiistian em, their chief city and their 
 Temple were utterly destroyed, and the Jews lost their 
 position as a nation. 
 
 While, however, all their contemporaries of ancient 
 times have pa.ssed away, without leaving more than a 
 trace behind them of their ancient grandeur, the Jewa 
 8till continue to exist. For more than three thousand 
 years they have not only witnessed the lise and decline 
 of empires, but have been more or less disastrously 
 concerned in all the great revolutionary changes that 
 have swept over the face of the civilized world. Yet 
 they Iiave survive.l all, and are still a distinct people, 
 numerous an<l in.lestruetible. They have outlived the 
 .si)lendour of Babylon, the might of Rome and the cul- 
 ture of CJreeee. The have witnes.sed the birth and 
 growth, the decay and death, of gi'cat empires, whose 
 people have been gradually exterminated, and whose 
 very languages, once spoken by unnumbered nullions, 
 are now forgotteij, or known only to the learned worhl 
 Amid all these swee}>ing changes, the Jews arc still a 
 
 "r" 
 
living, active and thriving peoplo. No paiallul can bo 
 found on earth to their wonderful history. Their 
 amazing ])reservation as a sepai-ate and distinct i»ooi)le 
 is a btiuidlng niiruclo, tlmt calls loudly for the regard 
 of thoughtful men. 
 
 The Babylonians, Greeks and Romans of ancient 
 times, the Huns, the Ooths, the Vandals, and other 
 peoples of more modern date, have all been scattered, 
 merged into other nations, or altogether lost. But the 
 Jews, who have seen all these in turn arise and jiass 
 away, still jjreserve their own peculiar identity, with 
 the same distinctness that characterized them at the 
 time of the Captivity or at the advent of Christ. 
 Though mixed and mingled with all nations, they are 
 still sejjamte and distinct; though scattered and dis- 
 ])ersed throughout the world, tliey have never yet been 
 lost. 
 
 They arc at pi-csont a people without a country. 
 They are wayfarers and wanderci-s over the Itvce of 
 the earth, and yet are sighing to return to the land of 
 their ancestoi-s, now held in the grasp of the upholdei-s 
 of the Mahonuncdan supei-stition. Their total num- 
 bers probably amount to ten ni'dliona. They are 
 everywhei'o aliens and foi-eignei-s — merely tolerated, 
 and unwillingly j)rotected by those au»ongst whom they 
 live. They have everywhere beeii^ harassed, robbed, 
 ill-treated and plundered. The great inducement to

 these liberties was thiit tliey were rich and def^•nsolos^. 
 The Turks have been notorious tor the ferocity with 
 which they have oppressed tl^e Jews. And shall this 
 state of things be i)ermitLeil to continue, when an 
 opportunity occurs for relief? Will the Christian 
 Powei-s of Eurojie look with inditlercnce upon the 
 hardships endured by a people to whom they are more 
 indebted than to any other on eixrth ? ' 
 
 An opi)ortunity, such as has never occurred before, 
 now presents itself, for the re-settlement of tho Jews 
 in the lan<l of their forefathers — tho land which is 
 thcii-s by right, if such a thing ivs rightful ownership 
 there bo on earth, Long ns tliey have been expatriated 
 from it, it is still theirs by original title, and by the 
 inalienable right of Di\ine gift. 
 
 From ago to age they have beeii kept forcibly out 
 of it;' but the day is perhaps not far distant when they 
 .shall again return and possess it as their own. Let 
 yom- ilhistrious name. Right Honourable Sir, be associ- 
 ated with active measures for brin'rlng about an event 
 so just, so righteous. Tho Greu Vowors of Europe 
 ought indeed to bo foremost in generously aiding tho 
 attainment of this desirable end. They owe a lasting 
 debt of gratitude to the Jewish race. They have Ijeen 
 helped out of their financial dirticultics from time to 
 time by tiie assistance of Jewish financiers. Jewish 
 money has raised them up in times of adversity, and

 For rimiiy years tlic elcincntd of decay liave been work- 
 'u\ff more and more ilccply into the very vitals of the 
 nation, atid must end iu ultimate dissolution. Tho 
 liual ci;llap.so is a-isuredly ijuminent. Turkey must 
 succuud)! Jn her own Iaii;j;uage, her "kismet" — her 
 fatal destiny — is sealed! Kro long her dismember- 
 ment will ensue. 
 
 Her internal i)'>licy, which has always been bad, ha.«i 
 been especially severe on her Jewish 3ubjoct.i, wlio 
 some years ago amounted — and pei-haps do still — to a 
 larger numlicr in the Turkish Empire than in any other 
 single nation in tlie world. These defenceless people, 
 in the very land of their forefatliers, have been more 
 cruelly ojjpressed than any other of the variovw 
 nationalities in the Turkisli di^minions. 
 
 Is it not possible at this juncture to set on foot .some 
 scheme which shall secure at least justice to this 
 ancient and iiidustriims jjcople^? — some scheme by 
 which they may l)e prtitected in their own Judea ? 
 And by the term Judea 1 do not merely mean tho 
 small Biblical province of tliat name, but, in an en- 
 larged sense, the land of the Jews as a wIkjIo — tho 
 " Holy Land." I du not at present propose the estab- 
 lishment of a Jt wish Monarchy, but as a commence- 
 ment,tlie formation of some kind of [lojiular government.

 permission to elect its own President, or ultimately 
 King, and to organize ai'd adapt to modern raiuirc-

 Prus.sia have for many yeai-s jointly kept up the Pro- 
 testant Episc<jpato of Jerusalem, the Bishop being

 there bo to their bringing about, iu co-operation with 
 tho other Great Powera, the re-settlemeat oi the Jews

 A re-distribution of Turkish territory, however 
 distasteful t<i those who tremble at the thought of dis- 
 turbing tho so-called "balance of power," beems, from 
 the tendency of things, inevitable. Whatever, ii» audi 
 an event, the Groat Powers iu their collective judgment 
 may think most con-1 icive to tho interests of the Turkn 
 themselves, let tlie Jewish subjects ol Turkey and tho 
 Jcw.s throughout tho world receive justice at their 
 hands; and let Judea be again assigned to them. 
 
 The re-union of people speakiug the same language, 
 or bound l)y tlio same social and religiou.s ties, is an
