The Holy Land.

"Mark Twain writing from Cesarea Philipp gives the
following of what he witnessed in that historical
region
The ruins here not very interesting There the
massive walls of great building that once the
CITADEL there many ponderous old arches that
smothered with debris that they barely project above the
ground; there heavywaed through which the
beautiful brook of which Jordan is born still runs; in the
hillside are the subructons of costly marble temple that
Herod the Great built Therapeutics OF It's handsome mosaic
floors still remain there is quaint old stone bridge that
was here before Herods time be; scattered everywhere
the paths and in the woods Cornian capitals broken
porphvrv pillars and little fragments of sculptures and up
yonder in the pecpice where the fountain gushes out are
Greek inscriptions inches IN the rock where
in ancient times the Greeks, and after them the Romans
worshped the sylvan god Pam But trees and bushes grow
above many of these ruins now the miserable hus of little
gang of filthy Arabs perched upon the broken masonry
of antiquity the whole place has sleepy stupid rural look
about it. and one hardly bring himself to believe that
busy city existed here, two
Thousand wears ago. The place nevertheless the
of an event whose effects have added page after page and
volume after volume to the worlds history. For in this
place Christ stood when he said to Peter:
"Thou art this rock will build church.
the gates prevail against it. give unto
thee the kingdom of heaven
bind shall be bound heaven and whatsoever
loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven"
On those little sentences has been built up the mighty
edfce of the Church of Rome in them lie the authority
and their godike power to soul or wash it white
from SIM TO sustain the position of the only church,
which Rome claims thus conferred upon her. she has
fought and labored and struggled for many century, ana
will continue to keep herself busy in the same line 10 ne
end OF time The memorable verbs have quoted give 10
this ruined city about all the interest possesses to people
of the present day.
