One of the most interesting and in
structiye lectures or rather incidents
of travel was given last week at
the New Church in this village by Rev. DR..
Dixie of Bath, who has but recently returned
from q Journey to the Holy Land, visiting the
principal cities of the East-including Jerusa
lem, Palestine, Bethlehem, Nazareth and
other historically sacred places among, the
orients. DR.. Dixie gave some very striking
and vivid pictures of the manners and customs
among that people, of their peculiar traits OF
character, of their fixed habits, OF the ages
uassed away, and of all the peculiar customs
incident to that most interesting country. We
could not help wondering in delightful mys-
terry at the most wonderfully beautiful and
descriptive scenes that he pictured. among the
