of the Brooklyn Tabernacle today ad
dressed a Jewish Mass Meeting. In re
sponse to a request Bent to him by a
Jewish Mass Meeting Invitation Com
mittee. The Invitation was signed by
many prominent Hebrews of New
York City. The Invitation and Tastor
Russell's response to the same follow:
New York, September M. 1310.
Pastor C. T. Ilussell, Urooklyn, N. Jf.
Lxar Sir Your sympathetic Interest In
UW Jewish people fur ytart past has
not escaped our notice. Your denuncia
tions ot the atrocities perpetrated against
our race tn the name of Christianity has
added to our conviction that you arc a
sincere friend. Your discourse on "Jeru
salem and Jowlsh Hopes" has struck a re
aponslve cord In the hearts of many of our
people. Still we doubted for a time if any
Christian minister could really be Interest
ed tn a Jew as a Jew and not merely from
a bopeot proselyting him. It Is because of
this feeling- thut soma of us request you
to make a public statement respecting the
nature of your Interest In our people and
desire you to know that the statement
you did make was very satisfactory. In
It you assured us that you are not urging
Jews to become Chrlstluna and Join any
of the sects or parties ot Protestanta or
Catholics. That statement, Fastor Itus
U, has been widely published In tha
Jewish Journals. Ys feel, therefore, that
we have nothing to fear from you as a
race. On the contrary, In that statement
you mentioned that tha foundation of
your Interest tn our people Is built upon
your fulth In tha testimonies of our Law
and tha meisages of our Prophets. You
may well understand how surprised wa
avr to find a Christian minister acknowl
edging that thrre are prophecies of the
lUble still unfulfilled, which belong to the
Jaw and not to tha Christian, and that
these prophecies, according to your
Studies, ara Bearing a fulllllment of mo
mentous Interest to our Jewish race and,
through ua as a people, to tha nations of
the world.
These things, Fnstor Russell, have led
to tha formation ot a Jewish Mass Meet
ing Committee, which, by this letter, re
quests you to give a publlo discourse, es
pecially to our people, if you will kindly
axoept this Invitation, will you permit us
to auggest a toplo for your address, which,
wa believe, will ba very Interesting to the
public and especially to tha Jaws, namely,
"Zionism In Prophecy."
Aa for tha meeting: Wa auggest Bunday
afternoon at three o'clock, October 9th.
We have secured an option on tha Hip
podrome, New York'a largest and finest
Auditorium, for that date, and wa hope
that this data and tha place will ba agree
able to your convenience. Wa assure you
aJae of a large audience of deeply Inter
ested Hebrews, besides whoever may coma
tsf tha general public.
Trusting to hear from you soon, wa sub
scribe ourselves,
Yours respectfully,
JEWISH MASS MEETING COMMITTEE.
Brooklyn. N. Y.. Bent 21. 1910.
Jewish Mass Meeting Committee, New
York City.
Gentlemen:-Your kind Invitation to ad
dress the Jewish Mass Meeting In tha
New York Hippodrome Bunday, October
ttfc, at I P. M., came duly.
I thank you for the confidence which
this Invitation Implies. The data you
toave selected ia not only appropriate In
lis relationship to the Jewish New Year,
but It la very suitable to my own ar
rangements, as I leave on October 12th for
appointments In London and elsewhere In
Uraat Urltaln.
Amongst the several prominent mem
bers of your race suggested for Chairman
ot the Muss Meeting, I select Mr. John
llarroudess, because 1 have had the pleas
ure personally of conference with him
and because I know him to ba very loyal
to the Interests of your people and be
cause I Ullev him to be very highly es
teemed as such in the counsels of your
race.
'altlifully and respectfully yours,
0. T. ISUSSsELL.
Tbe IIppodroiue Is reully an Im
mense and elegant Opera House n il I)
a capacity of about live thousand. It
was crowded today und uuiny fulled
to Bitlu uixess The Jewish people of
this city, who number more than n
million, hnve become deeply Impressed
by various discourses which I'u.stor
Itusstll lias recout'y delivered und were
lerl for today's tncotlug-to hear his
presentation of Z'ouIbiu us foretold by
tbe prophets. The speaker held his
Immense uudleiico spellbound for near
ly two hours, till uppureutly as uncon
scious of t ho lllfelu of time us wus the
tweaker himself. After the service the
Hebrews could be Been in little knots
and groups here und thero in the corrl
dors and In the streets discussing the
tuhject. The speaker's views were evi
dently shared by the majority. Alto
gether the meeting was something
unique. Never before did Jews give
such utteutlon to the message, of a
Christian minister. Aud never before
did a Christian minister give such a
message to tho Jews.
Whtt Pastor Russell Said.
The speaker read to his audience
TJKtfy notations from the prophecies
of t'.ie ir.ble Mating to Zionism, tho
first nue of which was Psalm cli. 13-1S
"Thou h:ilt arise und have mercy
upou Zlon; for the time to favor her.
yeu, the set time. Is come. For thy
servants take pleasure In her stone,
and favor the dust thereof. Then shall
the Gentiles ft ar the name of Jehovah,
and ull the kings of the earth thy
Klory. When the Lord shall build up
Zlon. he shall nppear in his glory."
l'ustor Pussell declared that whllo
once he had been tncllued to discard
the Bible us unreliable along tho Hues
of Higher Criticism, he bud subse
quently given It very eurnost study,
entirely upart from ull creeds and theo
ries of men. This study hud greatly
enlightened his mind and had given
him n very different view of the sacred
Rook. He now has absolute confi

return. These are the set times re
ferred to by the Psalmist God's
promise to David "The sure mercies
of Darld"-were that of the fruit of
his loins one should sit on the throne
of the Lord forever. The real purport
of this promise was that Messiah, the
long-promised King of Israel, would
be the root aud off-shoot of the David-
lc line and blessed of tbe Lord; his
Kingdom should be an everlasting one
and fully competent to fulfill all of the
Divine promises mnde to Abraham
"In thy Seed shall all tbe families of
the eurtb be blessed."
Z.dskiah
Rejected Nebuchadnezzar
Acknowledged.
Bo long as God acknowledged tho nn
tlon of Israel as his Kingdom their
kings wore his representatives; but
when Zedeklab wus rejected It was not
Inconsistent on tbe LorJ's part to roc
ognlze tbe Gentile governments, as
above suggested. Of King Zedeklab
we rend, "O thoti profane und wicked
rrluce, whose time has come that In
luulty should have an end. Iteniove
the diadem. Tuke off the crown. This
shall not be tbe eutne. . I will overturn,
overturn, overturn It until be come
whose right It Is (Messlubi, und I will
give It uuto him" (Ezeklel zxl. 20, 27)
It was at this very time that God gue
tbe lease of earthly power to Nebu
chadnezzar and his successors, as is re-
luted ln Daniel's prophecy. Nebucbud-
uczzar dreamed, but dlsremembered
bis vision. Duulcl tbe Prophet, made
prisoner at an earlier date, was, by
Divine providence, Introduced to the
king as tho oue person tu all tbe world
able to rehearse tbe King's dream and
to give Us Interpretation, and bis pow
er so to do Is declared to have been
of the Lord.
Nebuchadnezzar's Vision of Gantila
Dominion.
The vision wus of u stupendous lui
nge. Its head of gold represented
htichnduezzar's Empire liubylon. Its
breast und anus of silver represented
the Medo-Perslan Empire. Its belly und
thighs of brass represented the Grecian
Empire. Its stroug legs of Iron repre
hod ted the Komau Empire, East und
West. Its feet of Iron und clay repre
seated Papal Uome. The Iron conllu
ues to renrvseut civil goveruttiAts, und
the miry clay, making them uppeur
like stone, represented eccleslasttclstn
as It Is now mixed up with tho poll
tics of the ten kingdoms of Europe
The whole period of time In which
these vurloas Gentile governments
would dominate the world would lust
until Messiah's promised Kingdom.
And this period Is symbolically stated
to have been "seven times"; that is
seven years-evldently uot literal
years, but symbolical.
At their end the lease of earthly
power of Gentile goveiumeuts will ter
minate in tho great time of trouble
foretold by Daniel (xll, 11. Then Mes
siah shall stnnd up in tho sense of us
sinning control of onrtu's nlTairs und
Gentile goverumeuts will ceuse, for ull
uatlons shall serve und obey Messiah
And then God's Chosen People, Is
rael, will come to the front In the
world's affairs, because they will be
come the representatives und Instru
incuts amongst men of Messiah's Mug
doin. which will bo spiritual and In
visible, as Is that of the Prluco of this
world, the Prime of darkness, whom
Messiah will bind or restrain during
the thousand years' of his reign of
righteousness and destroy tit the cou
elusion, when lie shall deliver over
the Kingdom of earth to tho Father.
Mankind will then be perfect, because
ull wilful sinners will lie destroyed lu
the Second Death. Meautlme, Mes
siah's i'cIku will not only bless and
uplift Israel, but through Israel the
blessing will extend to every nation,
people, kindred aud tongue In full ac
cord with the Divine promise and oath
mnde to Abraham more thuu thirty
centuries ago,
All this Is briefly and beautifully rep
resented In Ne'juchndnczznr's dream,
as explulued by Duulcl. He saw n
stone taken from the mountain with
out human aid. He watched and saw
the stone 1111110 the Image on Its feet
and beheld, as the result, complete de-

Scriptures themselves, should be Inter

however, favor the 1914 date.
Zionism's Future Assured.
For mora than thirty yeara I have been
presenting to Christian people the views 1
am today presenting specially to Jews, at
tha Invltutlon of your Committee. Thirty
yeura ago I attempted to tell to Israel the
good tidings that God s set time to re
member Zlon had come. But that seem
ingly was too early. God's set time for
Israel to hear was still future. 1 waited
and am still waiting for God'a own time
and way for the fulllllment of Isaluh xl,
L -"Comfort ye, comfort ye, my people;
speak ya comfortably to Jerusalem. Cry
unto her that her appointed time Is ac
complished, and her Iniquity pardoned, for
she huth received of the Lord a hand dou
ble for all ot her sins."
"God moves In a mysterious way
Ills wonders to perform."
About twenty years ago providence rais
ed up for your people a great leader, Dr.
llerzl, whose name Is now a household
word with your race. While your people
were unready for any message that I
could give them they were ready for what
God sent them through Dr. llerzl a mes
sage of hope, a message of national aspl
ration which quickened the pulse of your
people Into new hope respecting the fu
tura of the Jews. Dr. Ilerzl's endeavor
was to have all loyal sons of Israel rise
from the dust and aspire to ba a nation
amongst natlona and to provide a home
for the persecuted of their race in Russia
and Eastern Europe. Dr. llerzl struck
the popular cord lit the hearts ot theppeo-
pie. At first It was purely political, und
the name of Zlon meant little of anything
religious; but gradually Dr. llerzl and all
the leaders of the counsels of your people
began to see that the religious element of
tha movement was the strongest, the
most powerful.
Dr. llerzl has been succeeded by Dr,
Nordau, also evidently a man of great
tulrnt and great patriotism; but Zionism
languishes. I am disclosing no secret
when I tell you that amongst the leudurs.
as woll as amongst the rank and file, Zi
onism Is trembling ln the balances and
fearful of coming to naught. It has spent
its force along the lines originally Inau
gurated; but It will not full, as many
fear. Without assuming the role of a aeer
I answer you that Zionism Is about to
take on fresh vigor; that Its most pros
perous days are yet to come. According
to my understanding of the Hebrew
prophets tho time of "Jacob's trouble" Is
not yet ended. Further tiojroiiu" of Rus
sia may be expected and further atroci
ties In Roumanlu and elsewhere. It la
sad Indeed to be obliged o admit that
these tribulations will probably come to
you from professed Christians. How
ashamed I foel of those who thus dishon
or the nnme und the teachings of my
Master, I cannot And words to express!
They are deluded. They have misunder
stood the Teacher whom they profess to
follow. Their thotiKht Is that God will
torment eternally till who do not profess
me name or cnrlst. Controlled by delu
sion they are serving the cod Adversnrv
and dishonoring Jesus. But as the triuls
and difficulties of the patriarch Joseph
were God'a providences to lead him on to
inmienee and power and honor, so will all
these experiences nnd persecutions work
blessings for your race nnd tend to drive
them out of their present satisfaction and
mnke them long for home-tor Palestine.
These experiences, In connection with the
voice cf the prophets, which will hence
forth more and more ring In your ears,
will be the providences of God to accom
plish f jr you more nlons the lines of Zi
onism than personal pride and national
patriotism.
It Is net my thonKht that the etRht mil
lions of Jews In the world will all go to
Palestine, even thouph It has been esti
mated that, under most favorable condi
tions, the land could support more than
twice that many. It Is my thought that
some of your most earnest and salntlv
people will go to Pnlestlne quickly, that
the rejuvenation there wilt be astonish
ing to the world. Further, It Is my
thought that Jews In every part of the
world. In pr.iportlim as they come under
tho holy Influences of God'a promises
threi'Klt the prophets, will go to Palestine

l-'lne Timber for Sole.
I have thirty-five acres of good
hard wood timber that I wish to sell
by contracting tbe entire piece by
the acre or cord. The 35 acres will
cut from 700 to 1,000 cords of wood,
and will be sold at a figure that the
contractor can make good money by
clearing the land. It Is close to the
road and close to a good market.
