there was a big lump in her throat.
"Oh, / wish l hadn't"
Pretty soon there came a patter OF
four little feet, and pussy jumped up
on the bed and kissed Minnie's cheek,
and the began to "pur-r-r, pur-r-r."

Then mamma told Minnie that she

hoped that the little daughter would
be brave enough to tell her all about

The Pool of Bethesda.
Pail Mall Gazette.

| rail- MAIL G&zeCtos
eve have generally an announce
ment to make, but not often of 90
much importance as that of this day.
1t is the discovery of the pool of Be-
thesda." So writes Mr.. Walter Besant
in the Quarterly Statement. issued by
the Palestine Exploration Fund. He
Is jubilant, as all Palestine enthusiasts
are likely to be, that vexed question
in regard to site is apparently set
tied forever.
Bethesda lie mentioned only by the
fourth evangelist. In the fifth chap
ter Of his gospel, John says: "Now,
there is at Jerusalem by the sheep
market Cor gate) a pool which is called
in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, hav-
ing five porches." The word translated
"poop in the authorized version is
given by some authorities as Hswim-
ming BATH" and the phrase spool by
the sheep market" is possibly better
rendered "sheep pool" Eusebius ex-
plains the occasional red color of the
water to this "sheep pool" as being q
trace of the carcasses of sheep washed
in it before sacrifice: hence the name.
There were, according to the evangel-
ist, five porches or porticoes around
the pool. These, DIR. Geikie thinks,
charity built for the accommodation
OF sufferers. 1t seems to us, however,
equally probable that they formed q
part Of the original scheme for the
bath. Five porticoes would seem to
imply pentagonal structure; but
this Is by no means essential. A rec
tangular pool, with portico on every
side, divided by one across the middle,
would answer the description. "Be-
thesda" "a Hebrew name which was
very probably invented by St. john
may mean either "house of mercy" or
"the place of the pouring forth" (of
water.)
At the northeast of modern Jerusa-
lem, close to St. Stephens Gate, stands
the church of St. Anne. the time
of the Crimean war it was ruined
mosque, but when the French came
into possession of it they restored the
church and handed it over to the AL
gerian monks. It is near this church
of st. Anne, and In connection with
excavations made around it, that the
real pool OF Bethesda has recently been
discovered by Herr Conrad Schick.
There is courtyard to the northwest
of the church, which leads through
newly opened passage into another
courtyard some fifty feet square. At
the north of this latter courtyard
there was at one time small church.
Beneath the floor of this some time
church are vaults, and through the
floor of these vaults a cistern Is
reached, cut into the rock to a depth of
thirty feet. The cistern is a portion
of the original pool of Bethesda.
There is still water In 1t, but it IL diff
fcult to say whence It comes. This,
In brief, is Herr Shick's report of April
9th. Since then further excavations
have been made, and he has prosecuted
more extended inquiries A twin
pool has been discovered. Further
examination will bring more details
to light but it may now fairly be as
sumed that the two pools, tanks or
cisterns thus discovered really consti-
tute the pool of Bethesda, shaving
five porches," where Christ healed the
paralytic of eight and thirty years.
