Excerpt from Improvement Era, Vol. 3: November, 1899At bottom, then, this recent Zionist movement is largely one of an economic character. It'is also one that has forced itself upon the minds of thoughtful Jews by reason of the development that is now going on throughout Asia. Those who have followed the march of events in Asia Minor, who have witnessed the building of new railroads, who have seen what is likely to occur when the trans-siberian railroad shall be finished, who look upon the partition of China as a foregone conclusion, who marvel at the wonderful developments of the Japanese race, need not be surprised that the Jews thought that Asia was to be redeemed, that the ancient seat of religion and Civilization was again to come into prominence, that its rich soils, with the treasures of its mountains, were all to offer their abundance in response to the efforts and ingenuity of man. The Mediterranean, which had become almost as much deserted as the great Sahara, is now increasing its commerceand Ships are traversing it in all directions, and it is clearly seen that Palestine must be, in some measure, in modern times what She was in the past - the great highway between the East and the West.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
