Excerpt from Jerusalem Past and Present: The City of Undying Memories
There would be a fine historical fitness in making palestjne again a Jewish State, guaranteed as to its integrity by a concert of the Christian Powers. Failing that, the country should be administered by a Power great enough to protect it, devout enough to honour its Shrines, and tolerant enough to keep its gates Open to all who would come in peace or reverence, for the lordship of that city is a holy trust and should be so administered. We may trace back to Jeru salem many Of the ideals for which the allied nations are fighting today. We seek a world whose Officers shall be peace and its exactors righteousness. We would make the spirit of Jesus the dominant spirit in the contact of nations. Surely we may see with the taking of Jerusalem by the Allies, the prophecy of the triumph Of the ideals we up hold. It is right that those who are most loyal to what is most true to the Spirit Of Jerusalem Should possess the city.
