III, suggested ny the events lhal occurred
there during the past week.
"The wicked boastcth of his hearts de-
sire he sitteh in the lurking places of the
villages in the secret places dosth he
murder the innocent. He lieth in wait Sc
crctly as a lion in his den he leth in wait
to catch the weak, he doth catch, the weak
when he drawcth him intoh net" Psalms
10 chap. ., 8. . verses
Palestine more than any other country
on the face of the earth, from ancient
down to modern times, has been infested
with robbers.
"a thousand rascals," says Thompson.
In ''the land and the hook ''the living
originals of those in the picture of the text
arc this day crouchng and lying in wait all
over the country to catch poor helpless
travellers. The bushy raVincs swarm with
them proving about like beasts OF prey.
The reference in the text is undoubtedly
to these highway robbers lurking in their
hlults in thc neighborhood of villages and
ia the region Of mountain passes; but ask

to witness nearer home and in modern
times do not aim to affirm that our pub
lie thogoughfarcs and highways are over
hung with encampmcnts of predatory
"Bcdouins, or that bands of robbers Turk
in the outskirts of our towns and villages
ready to fall upon us and every now and
then actually doinr if. for I suppose that
onr cynosulc nj this point to such forms of
assault is not predgious.
