THE ASHEVILLE CITIZEN', MONDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1913. INTERESTING FACTS ON ZIONIST MOVEMENT: DR. BERTHA SHOHAN WRITES OF J , t recent Acnvrrres. Boon Palestine WUl Be the Home of Suppressed Jews of the World. Real , Dr. Bertha R. ShohanI daughter of Charles Rutenberg of this city, who during her husband's absence as roentegenologlst of the American aionlat medical "alt, Is visiting lh Asheville, has prepared a statement on the history and activities of the Zionist movement, which la given as follows: ' Zionism Is 2,000 years old and dates from the dispenslon of the Jewish peo ple from ancient Palestine, for the great majority of the Jewish people have never ceased to long and hope and pray for a return to the beloved oil where their splendid ancient civ ilization was developed. Modern political Zionism, of which Dr. Theodore Herxel of Vienna was ths founder, dates from the flrst In ternational Congress at Basle, 8wlt serland. the flrst of many congresses at which Jewish delegates assembled from all parts of the globe to discuss! Dolltlcal aotlon for advancing trie .Jewla national cause, and to govern the numerous local organization . which sprang up rapidly in all parts of the world. The following platform h ftrfnntwf "Th Aim et Kinntnm is t4 create for the Jewish people a DUDliciy recognized, legally secured home In Palestine." The movement gathered great mo' mentum and, popular from its in ceptlon with the Jewish masses, on listed -as well the sympathy and. sup port of prominent Jews throughout the world, men . like the Rothschilds In England and France and leaders of the Jewish communities in other countries of Europe. In this country, Justice Brandels of the Supreme court, Judge Julian W. Mack of Chi cago, Prof. Felix Frankfurter of Har vard and Dr. Stephen S. Wise, to metftm only a few ' representative leaders among" the Zionists, ardently spoused the nationalist cause. Among non-Jews, too, many authoratlve voices were raised in favor of Zion ism, prominent among them Ex Presldent Eliot of Harvard,-Norman Hapgood' and as a matter of course. President Wilson, who In his defense of weak and oppressed . and dlspos . aessed nationalities, consistently es poused the cause of the Jewish peo ple and upheld their rights to repa triation in their own ancient home land. What the conquest of Palestine from tho Turks by the British, who had always sympathized with Jewish nationalist aspirations, the hopes of . tho Jewish people rose high. They were not to be disappointed. On Nov. 2, 1917, Great Britain promised its support to Zionism in the now fam ous Balfour Declaration In (which Ar thur Jarrfes Balfour, on behalf of the British government, declared In a communication to Lord., Rothschild, that the BritlBh were prepared to es tb'' ' - h.1- a:.,b, In Palestine. This declaration recent j ten e .. . Uureon, .tho present British secretary for foreign affairs, oh behalf of the " present British - government. It is confidently expected that Great Britain will soon be given the man date for Palestine and that she will at once carry out her promise to tho . Jewish people.

Some doubt probably was felt at tho be ginning as to the interest that would be manifested in the meeting as a large chart with statistics greeted the men as they entered. But as the lec turer began to develop his lecture from the chart all doubt disappeared, and for over an hour the crowd 11s- tened to his remarks with interest. The chart covered the time of the pible from tho creation of Adam to tn9 leading of the children of Israel hy, Moses from the promised land, Statistics well presented to prove that tne Bible Is true and thjat Moses was correct in all of his statements In the books of the Bible that he wrote.

With stores open nt nights this week through Wednesday night, great crowds of shoppers are expected to fill the shops, during the remaining three days of the Christmas shopping season. While tho stores have enjoyed splendid business during the past week, they will no doubt sell more goods during the same time this week than for any other period of the year. The shops still have splendid as sortments from which to make selec tions and tho stocks are large and varied. There seems to bo a shortage of tovs in the city, the stores and shops selling toys being almost clean ed ud durlnar the past week. The most crowded spot In the city Is the postotnee. where long lines, often extending into the street crowd three and four windows all day, dur ing the open hour. The postolfice oDlcials say they havo endeavored In every way to accommodate the pub lie, but owing to the limited clerical help it has been a tremendous Job most of the time. today in the world, and we are t"14ffhC.hinS?trtJLhd...V.e longing to hear It over and over again. "Adam and Eve by their own ef forts and Satan's counsel could not properly cover before God cither soul or body, and after so many centuries of failure by man's refusal to accept God's plan of salvation we Btill find mankind in general , listening to Sa tan's lies and following his own ways; and we see even some professing Christians trying to atone for, and cover their sins with tholr own good works, and for bodily covering they Ignore God's admonition to bo clothed In modest apparel, but Insist in fol lowing the abominable fig-leaf fash ions of the devil, which do not cover. "Certainly such atonement and cov erings in God's sight, are as filthy rags. And man's ways, induced by Satan's leadership, will not avail and all such. In the end, will have their part with him in the lake of fire, which Is the second death. (Rev.10: 10 15 and 21:8). "A perfect code of laws must be from a perfect being and so, too, the whole Book, though assailed by every enemy during all the age and now being assailed as perhaps never be fore by those professedly Its friends, stands unshaken and will continue to stand forever: for It Is a Perfect Book from a Perfect Being (Matt.- 5: IT, II). "If our soldiers needed such care ful military training to be able to fight the Satanic power of the Ger man Kaiser and his armies, what special training In the ' use of the Word we should have to enable ' us to : fight victoriously and defend ourselves successfully against this great Arch Enemy, who, next to Ood Himself is the most Intellectual and most powerful being in all the uni verse and who, in the last days, Is manifesting such gigantic: activity In all the world". , , .

Unknown parties have stolen the little wooden Chrlstus from tho way side shrine, at St. Mary's Episcopal church, corner Charlotte street and Macon avenue, Grove park, whieh for the past tour years has stood on the lawn of the church yard. The figure was fastened In the shrine with' a wooden peg and a sl'ght copper wire, to hold It ln place, and theiie were wrenched off, In order that the thief or thieves could get the figure. The Chrlstus was presented to the church about four years ago by a Mrs. Fields, nnd was secured by her at Oberammergau, Bavaria, Germany, from tho performers in the famous miracle or pusslon pluy there.

The figure was about three feet high and had attracted much atten tion from hundreds of passersby, In addition to the members of the but the wood did not show any signs of decay and It would have probably lasted many more years before de caying. No Idea Is entertained as to who is guilty of taking this Chrlstus and It is believed that It could not have been done except by a vandal, who was either bent on securing a.n ar ticle he could sell, or to attempt to destroy something by which It was believed the church was doing work BROTPER OP MRS.
