A despatch, dated Jerusalem, October 7, says that the bishop of Jerusalem, in the name of the pope, and in the presence of the German consul and 500 German pilgrims, laid the corner-stone of the Roman Catholic Church, to be erected on Mt. Zion, on the site which Abdul Hamid presented to Emperor William on the occasion of the kaiser's visit to the Holy Land. How much this may mean in the future is worth considering. If the pope should be forced to flee from Rome, would he not covet a place in the Holy City? Might not this asylum open for him? And might not he plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain? And then many peoples would say, "Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem," etc. Of course we know that the prophecy of the peoples is not true. The truth is that the peoples will say this; but their cry is a false one of peace. What has the Papacy to do with it? is a pertinent question.
