Rediscovery of Lost Israel, On Thursday night at the Masonic Hall, Miss Waterston gave a film lecture, showing, said the lecturer, “irrefutable evidence from the New Testament the identity of the lost tribes of Israel.” The lecturer showed thab Peter and James’s epistles were addressed specifically to the tribes of Israel wanderingg in Asia and Europe, Turkey and Greece, i.e.. the 721 B.C. dispersion, quite distinct from the 70 A.D. dispersion of the Jews. Jesus Christ mentioned these Israelites as the lost sheep of the House of Israel. The lecturer quoted the chief Rabbi of London, Dr. Hertz, who stated that the Jews came from Judah. Benjamin and Levi, and that he looks forward to the future gathering of all the tribes. On Thursday night next Miss Waterston will give a lecture entitled “Who Brought Christianity to Britain? Joseph, of Arimathea, 37 A.D.” Motor Cars Stolen. A car belonging to Mr Jansen, of Martinborough, which was parked in High Street, was stolen yesterday.
