busy scene, witnessed on historic shores:
"Our steamer landed on a beach which
was the port ofs.Antioch, where the dis
ciples were first called Christians.
There was no town at the waters edge,
no people, no wharf. The passengers
and the merchandise were put ashore
i'm lighters, which ran up into. the sand.
A troop of camels, with their drivers,
lay ON the beach, ready to transfer the
goods into the interior. Among the ar
ticles landed were boxes marked DIR J.
c. Aver < Co., Lowell, Mass, u. $. A.
showing that they contained medicines
and whence they came. These with
other goods were hOisted ON the backs
of the camels, for transportation to
; Antioch. Thus the skill of the West
sends back its remedies to heal the
maladies of populations that inhabit
those Eastern shores, whence our spir-
itual mamma camel UInsiOr "a
