The EARLY Home of Jesus.


Four miles south of the strong
Greek city of Sephoris, hidden away
among gentle hills, then covered from
the base to the crown with vineyards
and fig trees, lays natural nest OF
basin Of rich red and white earth,
star-like in shape, but mile in width,
and wondrously fertile. Along the
SCARED and chalky slope Of the high
est Of these hills, spread small and
lovely village, which, in land where
twery A,0ne seemed to have story,
=, emarkableas having had no public
ttOrs and'no distinguishable native
{ liame NO great road led up to this
sunny nook, No traffic came into it,
no legions marched through it,
Trade, war, adventure, pleasure, pomp,
passed through it, flowing from west
to east, from east to west, along the
Roma road, But the meadows were
aglow with wheat and barley. Near
the low ground ran belt of gardens,
fenced with stones, in which myriads
of green figs, red pomegranates, and
golden citrons ripened in the summer
sun. High up the slopes, which were
lined and planted like the Rhine at
Bingen, hung vintages of purple
grapes. In the plain, among the corn,
and beneath the mulberry trees and
figs, shone DAISIES, peoples, tulips,
lilies, and anemenes, endless in their
profusion, brilliant in their dyes.

well Of water, bubbling, plentiful and
sweet and above this fountain of life,
in long street struggling from the
fountain to the synagogue, rose the
homesteads of many shepherds, crafts
Inen and vinedressers. 1t was lovely
and humble place, of which no ruler,
no historian of Israel had ever yet
taken notice. No Rachel had been
met and kissed into love at this well,
no Ruth had gathered up the sheaves
of barley in yon fields; no tower had
beer built for observation on this
height; no camp had been pitched for
battle in that vale. That one who
wonld become dearer to the fancies of
men than either Ruth or Rachel, then
walked through these fields, drew wa
Ter at this spring passed up and down
the lanes of this hamlet, no seer could
have then surmised. The place was
more than obscure. The Arab may
have pitched his black tent by the
well, the magistrate Of Sephoris mus
have known the village, but the hamlet
was never mentioned by the Jewish
scribes. In the Bible, in the Talmud,
in the writings of Josephus, we search
in vain for the record of this place.
Like its happy neighbors, Main and
Endor, it was the abode of husband
men and oil dressers, whose lives were
spent in the synagogue and the olive
grove, away from the bright Greek
cities and the busy Roman roads. No
doubt it had once been possessed of
either an Arab or Hebrew name, but
but we do not know the name except
in its Hellenic form. The Greeks
called the town Nazaret or Nazareth.
