3. And in later years many other organizations have been formed which may surely be regarded as similar

III. THE TRANSFER OF WEALTH. Isa. lx. 6-10. "Surely the Isles shall wait for thee, and the ships of

Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them" &c. (verse 6).

So also Isa. xxxiii. 1. Speaking to the Gentiles God says "Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not

spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee; when thou shalt cease to

spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal

treacherously with thee." And as to when this shall take place, we learn from verse 10.

Now we cannot properly appreciate the following facts unless we continually bear in mind the condition of

the Jews during the last eighteen centuries. There is no lack of evidence to show the gradual accumulation

of capital in Jewish hands.

1. The Rothschilds' loans amount to four millions sterling to England, one to Austria, one to Prussia, two

and a half to France, one to Russia, and a quarter to Brazil, Ten millions altogether.

2. The Jews are the money lenders of Europe.

3. In 1869 in Russia 73% of the immovable property had passed into Jewish hands, and a quarter of the

Railway property was in the hands of the Russian Railway King, Samuel Solomonowitz de Poliakoff.

4. The official returns of Prussia, 1861, showed that 38,000 Jews out if 71,000 were engaged in commerce,

while only 1 Jew in 586 was a day labourer!

5. In 1871 out of 642 Bankers in Prussia all but 92 were Jews. Thus while the Jews were only 2% of the

population, 85% of the Bankers were Jews.

6. In 1871 in Berlin, the Jews were only 5% of the population. But the employers of labour were 39% of the

Gentiles, and 71% of the Jews. While the Merchants were 55% of the Jews and only 12% of the Gentiles.

7. In Vienna, the Bourse is almost entirely in Jewish hands.

8. In Lower Austria, out of 59,122 returned as Merchants, 30,012 were Jews.

9. In Algiers in 1881 nearly the whole trade was in the hand of the Jews.

IV. A NAME AND A PRAISE. Zeph. iii. 19, 20. "Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will

save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land

where they have been put to shame. At that time will I bring you again even in the time that I gather you: for

I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before

your eyes, saith the Lord." Of course the fulness of this prophecy will be realised only in Millenial days. But

whether there be any connection between the present facts and the prophecy, the facts exist, and look very

much as though the first drops of that mighty shower of blessing were already beginning to fall upon the
