Religion Today Dream of Israelites Now Real Statesman, Salem, Ore., Fri, May ,2, '58 (Sec. I)-3 i ' 1 ' . By GEORGE W. CORNELL AP Religion Writer Haunting echoes f an m Powerful epic resound today in There, heartbeats swell anew to ancient spell of "The Promised Land." ' To Jews everywhere, as well as to others, the observance of the 10th anniversary of the restored uauon, sura me embers of a aeraage. , ' It a deep-rooted passion, 1m Dlanted Inner aim whan TbaaK nil lowed his head on stone at Beinei, anp dreamed of a ladder tos heaven i from which the Lord poke: 'behold. . .the land where on thou best, to thee will I give w, ana to thy seed. r From rhnt Hlclant mnmant was haps 5,000 years ago, through the wnipiasn uaes of modern history, 1 thai covenant has lingered in nun as anq emotions. Terrifying Story The long story is often a terrify ing one, ot exile, persecutions, massacres, nhpitm anH hnm1ae wandering, But the hope burned on. Inscribed deep in the consci ences and traditions of a people was the divine pledge of this "land lor an inheritance." And now, they possess it. Today, nearly two million of the worias iz minion jews live in Israel. After 50 centuries of root- lessness. thev. nrmnv tho lnnH "nt our lathers.' Although foes still oesei, mem, iney nave ineir nome again. The pulsing theme of the Old lesiament Hovers over that land, that S.WO-squ are-mile ' stretch of coastal hills and valleys, and it is for that land that its indigenous tribes fought, again and again. Egyptian Slavery After they were herded into Egyptian slavery, on their escape across the Red Sea, they again turned toward that ancestral ob jective: "And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people.' . .and have heard their cry. . .and I am come down to deliver them. . .and bring them . . .unto a land flowing with milk and, honey." Remote and far away that mo ment, more than 3,000 years ago, yet unforgotten. Nor has the pic ture faded of old Moses as ha stood on Mount Nebo gazing into the land' of his people's destiny, hearing the Lord's words: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou lhalt not go thither." Ha- died there on the mountain at the' age of 120, and his succes sor, Joshua, took up the imme morial task the winning of the land. So the walls of Jericho came tumbling down, and the armies of 31 kings fled before the might of Israel. Heroic Steriea This was their land, and in it unfolded the heroic tales of the treat biblical figures of the val lant Saul dying on the Battlefield, of the mighty Samson wielding a jawbone, and pulling down the gates of Gaza, of brave David fell ing a giant with a shot from his suns to defend the land. There, the wise King Solomon ruled and built his temple. There the great prophets. Elijah, Isaiah and Jeremiah, thundered. And there was wrought the record of goodness and wickedness, success and defeat. The inner strength of Israel waxed and waned. Time after time, they were beaten, captured and scattered by the Assyrians, Babylonians and others only to push again into their land. Finally, in 70 A.D., the hard fist of Rome crashed down on Is rael, and the nation was no more. Her children were driven hither and yon across the earth. Waves of Oppression Waves of Jewish oppression have sullied the years since, reaching a height in the crusades of the Middle Ages, and continu ing in various degrees into the present era. In country after country in Eu rope, Jews were expelled. Hun dreds of thousands were slain. They fled from place to place, confined to ghettos," barred from oat occupations except petty Sding, prohibited from owning With (h VYMirh and American revolutions in the 18th century the tide changed, and they won back civil rights in most countries, but the horrors of old arose anew in Hitler's, time, only to abate at the end of the last war. And then, Israel regained its kingdom. , Farm Prices Climb Again WASHINGTON IB A further rise of 1.14 per cent during the month ended April 15 sent farm prices to the highest, level since the Eisenhower administration took office in January 1953. This increase, reported by the Agriculture Department Wednes day came on top of a 4 per cent advance in the previous month. They helped put farm prices near ly 10 per cent above a year earlier and about 18 per cent above the low point during the present ad ministrationDecember 1959.
