Ha- Rev. DIR. MARKS LECTURE ON PAL

R65~ Rev. DR.. MARKS LECTURE ON PAL
EsrINE.-The lecture of Rev. DR.. Marks,
last night at the Second Presbyterian
Church, on Palestine, was the second of
the course. Mr.. Marks commenced with a
description of the Desert Road from Egypt
to Jerusalem. The distance from Cairo to
Suez was eighty miles, over naked sands
and blistered rocks. He spoke of the Red
Sea, crimsoned by rose colored coral on
its shores.
He described the nakedness-the OPP
pressiye silence of the Desart-the great
gorgcs and gloomy grandeur of the will
dcrness of Sanai. He spoke of Palestine
as about two hundred miles in length and
sixty in breadth; of fertile and beautiful
yallies; of mountains from twelve hun
dred to nine thousand feet high The
mountains are mostly carboniferous lime
stone, nearly as white as chalk.
The population of Palestine is only about
two hundred and sixty thousand large
districts are abandoned and desOlate. The
Bcdouin Arabs are the scOurge of the on
tire land, often making incursions from
beyond the Jordan, numbering the men,
burning the villages and carrying captive
the women and children, driving away the
flocks and leaving behind them smoking
fields and crumbling towns.
He spoke of various places of the deep
est interest to the Christian and the travel
er-such as Mount Carmel, rising out of
the sea like a vast Pyramid, two thousand
feet high. Its rocks honey coined with
the cells of early Christian monks.
Mr.. Marks spoke of Jaffa as the Joppa
of the Bible and one of the oldest cities OF
the world, and said that the oranges of the
plain of Sharon, growing in the great gar
dens outside of the walls, were the finest in
the world. He gave a graphic account OF
the Bedouin Horse race at the gate of JHt-
fl. He next described a journey through
Mt. Ephrnim, to the interesting city of
Nablons. situated between the sacred
mountains of Scrozim and Ebal, built of
the ruins of the Shechem of the Old Tcs-
lament. The place of many of the most
elfecting scenes in the life of Jacob.
He described 4 remnant "a tue AASAStiI
Samaritans as still abiding in Nablons,
about one hundred and twenty in number,
yearly diminishing from close intermar-
rage, as bringing out for the admiration
of the traveller their ancient manuscript
of the five Books of Moses their Bible
which the Patriarchs say is $500 years
old.) He spoke of them as daily looking
for the Messiah.
Mr. NJ, described the scene when he
was introduced in the house of the Rev.
Mr.. Bowen to the head man of the city.
Mr.. Marks described the domestic life of
the Arab inhabitants of Nnblons. He
described the journey to Samnrin, the
stoning by Il company of Arab washwOmen,
He spoke of the hill of Samar;a as three
hundred and fifty feet high. Its ruins now
occupied by Arab robbers. He described
the attempt to rob the party which visited
the old city with him, and of the sag"city
and fury of the Arab horse which bore
him out of the scene.
He spoke of the ruins of Samaria as
amongst the most interesting in Palestine
