In the world today there are
Christians, LO.000.oro Mohammedans and
UOOOOjO Jews, making together one-half
of the total population of the world and
more than a third of the civtllxed world,
who look upon Palestine as holy land. It
la a tiny bit of country, perhapa a hundred
and fifty miles long and fifty or sixty
iru'.es wide. Within this narrow compass
is contained a startling variety of topo
graphical wonders. From the mountains
of Lebanon at the north stretching to the
d'sert which girts Ml Slnal at the south.
the country is divided Into four narrow
strips. Along the coast a ribbon of green
beauty; then a rugged range of brown
hills whose verdure has long since been
stripped away; then the depressed river
valley leading down Into the abyssmal
horrors of the Dead sea, and beyond that
the purple peaks of those mountains

religious belief and which have moulded

for nearly 000 years. It Is even more dif-
voked the surcnr of Jhovah. Treacherous
and vindictive Jews, suffering under the
perscutions of centuries, have dealt death
to their enemies of other creeds. Ever
since Jesus died on the cross of Calvary
has Jerusalem and all this holy land been
drerched with blood shed by murderers
who slew their victims In the name of re
ligion. Then came this year 13.' of the Christian
era. 563 of the Jewish era and L7 of th

churches and synagogues and mosques of
the city of Jerusalem. It was the young
Tvrks' revolution.

Some business men are beginning to ask
questions about the many campaigns at
present being conducted throughout the city
for the raising of funds ostensibly for
Christmas dinners to be given nomeisss or
needy people.
"As near as I can figure it out, after
questioning the canvassers." said one mer
chant, "steps are being taken to furnish
Christmas dinners for between 4. and
! 5,000 Individuals. Now. I don't believe
j there are that many perple ln Omaha who
(cannot provide their own Christmas din
ners. This belief led me to question one
! canvasser pretty closely, after proving by
! his own statement that he had already
n.ore money than would provide the num
1 h-r of dinners mentioned. Then the can
' tvsser came back at me with the blunt
statement. 'Tea. but we have a debt of a
Urge sum to take care of.'
"Now, that statement set me to thinking,
and I have about come to the conclusion
that It la not quite right to use
; the Christmas spirit as aa excuse to raise
' money, not for dinners for needy people
i altogether, but to pay debts.
Inquiry among other business men proved
: that a great many of them have given
' pretty liberally for Christmas dinners
' without any particular question. It seems
reasonably certain, from what can be
' learned even whea the givers are not prone
to talk about their contributions that
enough money haa beea raised by a dosea
