8ETHABARA.
The Place Where Christ is Said
to Have been Baptized.

The tradition which fixes the site
now generally shown as that OF our
Lords baptism can be traced back to
the fourth century ; but like nearly
all other ecclesiastical traditions con-
pected with Palestine, it is not known
atsan earlier date, nor are there any
indications of the reasons which led to
its being chosen by the fourth century
of Christians, for the name of Betha-
bara is not found in the neighborhOod
The site is shown at the main Jordan
ford. east of Jericho, and the place is
not improbably that at which the
children of Israel crossed the river,
when first entering the promised lanG
under Joshua. The scene annually
presented when the Greek and Latin
pilgrims come down in Jerusalem to
dip in Jordan, has often been describ-
ed. The river is about twenty or thir-
ty wards wide at the bend where the
ford is found on the west there is an
onen shingly beach, on the east fiat
bank. with a cliff of mari above: north
ofthe ford. on the right bank, is a
clump of very ancient tamarisks Of
unusual size, and little paths have
been beaten by the pilgrims feet
through the underwood between the
trunks. This spot. which is called by
the Arabs the Ford of Hal ah from
the neighbOring Ain Halijah-the
ancient Beth Hoglah }. is the only
place for many miles where the brink
of the river can be reached. Above
and below the river Jordan lies hid
den ia a Jungle of tamarisk and will
low and a thick canebrake extends
down into the stream. North of the
Pilgrims bathing.plaee is an old cru
sading monastery in rnins, built on
the foundations of yet older struct
ure. This place was called st. John
on-Jordan, and even as early as $40
A. d. monastery built by the Empe
ror Anastasius, and standing on the
vaults of precaution against the spring
overflow of the Jordan, is described
by pilgrims. To this monastery JAS
tinfan added a fine reservoir, which
remains intact outside the building Oh

KINDERGARTEN CULTURE.

To The EdIFOr OF INt ITIUUHt'
SIR: / cannot comfortably allow the para
graph on Kiudergartens your exceedingly interesting
Paris letter on the Swiss educational exhibit to pass
without a protest 1t speaks with some apprehension
lest the quantity and variety Of such purely initiative"
work produce a confusing effect on the minds OF the
children who perform It. II the kindergarten work
were initiative in any degree, this objection woud be
we'll made but IL is characteristic OF true kindergarten
culture that n avoids imitation both in theory and prac-
tce as a careful gardener destroys dangerous weed
1t may be safely affirmed that tho beautiful products OF
the Swiss kindergarten mostly inventions by the
children who from few radical forms given them by
dire0ton not by copies encouraged TO invent ana
elaborate designs from their own imaginatons Keeping
I'm mind that unity OF structure which Is daily impressed
on their minds by observing the crystal the Hover and
Ali animated structure. Such cuare cannot be conus
ing but must train the observing the reflective and tue
creative faculties in favorable way TO their best suDse-
0uent development. Very truly, X M' AIWATER'
