A tale is told of British occupation in Palestine which may one day be related to the children of the future as legend, but is now believed as fact. British guns were trained on Jerusalem. The Turks were in control of the sacred city. The British command hesitated to fire on the "City of God." A message was sent to headquarters: "What shall we do?" The answer came back, "Pray." Not a gun was fired. When the British arrived in Jerusalem at dawn, it had been evacuated by the Turks, and not a sacred place had been desecrated.
