M. Whelan F - st to Welcome Brit ish Troops When They Entered Was Representative There of the Bible Society. Although It is a year sinee Allenby's victorious army entered Jierusaletn, and the greatest Christian shrine in' the world was wrested forever from the clutches of the infidel Turk. one of the most striking episodes of all those that marked that entry has only re cently become known. To Amerileans this episode is of especial Interest, since It cane as the cilima x of pehtItlps the most pietureslue of ,ill the ninny services that have been rendered by the allied notions, and to humanity gentIerally, by .individ unl Amerienns, from Gerard and lIrand Whitlock do'-n, since the beginning of the war. For nearly three years, or from early in 1915 until the deliverance of Jerusalemn in December, 1917, one of the oldest and most finous of lIritish organizations remained ino ti blissful ignorance ats to what had become of Its "depol" in the Iloly City. This or ganization is the British and loreign Bible society, which like its great sis ter organization in the United States, exists for the purpose of distributing the Good Book among Christluns In every part of the worid. In February, 1915, or soon after Turkey threw In her lot with the cen tral powers, the Iible soel-ty's depot in . erusaletn, wheih containei ninny tito isands of volumes, had to be ahan donted hastily. The workers there were brought to Egypt on n Amt-rienn warship. From that day until quite re cently nothing whatever was known re garding te fate of the depot or Its contents. It wis assumed that both had probably been destroyed by the Turks. But then carnie a letter from the society's secretary at Port Said in closing one from the coinander of the London Scot tish, the first fBritish regient to enter the Ilioly City. In this obliver's let t er t hW' st riking story was told of how a venernile Amerian resident of .Ierusitlem, by nime M. M.
