Brooklyn on tho Holy Land Rev. =. d.
Witt Talmage took his text from O.l,.
ti5hs l. 10: Il went up to jerusalem
He said:
My second day in the Holy Land. We
IRE in Joppa 1t 10 six o'clock in the
morning. but We must start earlv. for
by night We are to be Jerusalem. and
that city is forty-One miles away. We
may take camel o. horse OF csrri.ee.
A to-day will DO our last opportunity
in Palestine for taking the wheel We

Ors seated in 'front.' we start on a ROAD
which unveils in twelve hours enough
to think OF for all time and all eternitv.
We start out OF the city amid barri-
cades OF cactus on either side. Not
cacti in boxes two or three feet high.
but cactus higher than the top of the
carriage-a plant that has moro swords
for defense. considering the amount of
beauty it can exhibit, than any thing

four hundred gardens seven or eight
acres to the garden, from which at the
right seasons are plucked oranges lem

atee. Ind which hold up their censers Of
perfume before the Lord in perpetual
praise. We meet great professions OF
camels loaded with kegs Of oil and with
fruits, and some wealthy Mohammedan
with four wives-three too many.
Here we meet people with faces and
arms and hands tattOOed, as in all lands
sailors tattoo thir arms with some favor
lite ship or admired face. 1t was to this
habit OF tattOoing among the Orientals
that God refers in q figure when He SAYS
of His church: Il have graven thee on
the palms Of my hands"
Many OF these regions are naturally
sandy. but by irrigation they are made
fruitful and as in this irrigation tho
brooks n rivers are turned this way
and that to water the gardens and farms,
SO the Bible says: THE Kings heart is
in Inc hands Of the Lord and lie turneth
1t as the rivers of water arc turned
whithersoever lie will"
As we pass out and on we find about
800 acres belonging to the Universal
Israelitish Alliance. Montefiore. the
1sraelitish ~ccntenerian and philanthro-
pist, and Rothschild, the banker. and
others of the large-hearted have paid
the passage to Palestine for many of tho
lsraelites and set apart lands for their
culture. and it is only a beginning of
the fulfillment Of Divine prophecy when
these people take possession OF the Holy
Land. The road from Joppa to Jerusa-
lem and all the roads leading TO Nazar-
eth n Gallilee We saw lined with pro.
cessions of Jews, going to the sacred
places. either on holy pilgrimage or as
settlers. All the fingers Of Providence
nowadays are pointing toward that re-
sumption Of Palestine by tho IsraeliteS

them in Germany, will soon quadruple
and centuplc the procession of Igrael-
ties from Russia 10 Palestine. Facili-
ties for getting there will be multiplied,
not only in the railroad from Joppa to
Jerusalem, to which l referred last Sab
Bath as being built, but permission for
a rOad from Damascus to the lay Of
Acre has been obtained, and that of
course will soon connect with Joppa aud
make one great ocean shore railroad

His promises
Those who are prOspered in other
lands will do we'll to stay where they
are. But let the Israelites who are de-
preciated and attacked and prosecuted
turn their faces toward the rising sun
of their deliverance. God will gather
in that distant land those Of hat race
who have been ~maltreated. and He will
blast with the lightnings OF His Omnip-
ctence those lands ON either side of the
Atlantic which ave been the instru-
ments of annoyance and harm to that
Jewish race, to which belonged Abra-
ham AMI David and Joshua and Baron
Hirsch and Montefiore and Paul the
Apostle. and Mary the Virgin. and
Jesus Christ the Lord.
