the remembrance that yonder, where now
stands a hohammedGn mosque, stood the
temple, the very one that Christ visited.
Solonons temple had stood there, but Neb-

been prostrated. Then Herod built tenn

cathedrals together and they would not equal

There were marble pillars supporting roofs

golden cups, and there were carvings ex-

ing balustredes and ornamented gateways.
The building of this temple kept ten thousand
workmen busy for forty-six years. Stupend-

the material and architectural grandeur of
the building were very tame compared with
the spiritual meaning Of its altars and holy

CHRIsr'S LAST VISIT THERE.
But standing in this old city all other facts
are eclipsed when we think that near here Our
blessed Lord was born, that up and down the
streets Of this city he walked, and that in the
outskirts Of it he died. Here was his only
day Of triumph, and his assassination One
day this old Jerusalem IS at the tip top Of ex-
citement. Christ has been doing some re-
markable works and asserting very high
authority. The police court has issued papers
for his arrest, for this thing must be stopped,
as the very government is imperiled. News
comes that last night this stranger arrived
at a suburban village, and that he is stop

resuscitated after four days sepulture. Well.
the people rush out into tao streets, some
with the idea Of helping in the arrest Of
this stranger when he arrives, and others ex-
pecting that on the morrow be Will come
into the town, Cnd by some supernatural
force oust the municipal and royal authori-
ties and take everything in his own hands.
They pour out Of the city gates until the
procession reaches to the village. They come
all around about the house where ths
stranger is stopping, and peer into the doors
and windows that they may get one glimpse
of him or hear the hum OF his voice. The
police dare not make the arrest, because he
has somehow won the affections Of all the
people. Oh, il is a lively night in yonder
Bethany The heretofore quiet village Is
filed with uproar and outcry and loud dis
cussiOn about the strange acting countryman
/ do not think there was any sleep in that
house that night where the stranger was
stopping. Although he came in weary, he
finds no rest, though for once in his lifetime
he had pillow. But the morning dawns,
the olive gardens wave in the light, and all
along youder road, reaching over the top Of
Olivet toward this city, ,therei is vast ,swaying
crowd of wondering people. The excitement
around the door Of the cottage is wild as the
stranger steps ont beside an unbroken colt that
had never been mounted, and after bis friends
had strewn their garments on the beast for a
saddle the Saviour mounts II, and the popu-
lace, excited and shouting. and feverish,
