THE GARDEN on OLIVES.
Unable longer 70 endure the pressure of
this scene we moved on and into garden
Of olives. garden which Ia the right sea
sou Is full OF flowers, and here is the re-
putsd tomb Of Christ You know the Book
SAYS, In the midst Of the garden was
sepulcher" ! think this was the garden
and this the sepuicher. II is shattered OF
course. About four steps down We went
into this, which seemed family tomb
There is room in il for about five bodies.
We measured IL and found IL about eight
feet high, and nine feet wide and fourteen
feet long. The crypt where think
our Lord slept wes seven feet long.
/ think that there once lay the king
wrapped in bis last slumber. On some
Of these rocks the Roman government
set its seal At the gate OF this mausoleum
on the first Easter morning the angels
rolled the stone laundering down the hill.
Up these steps walked the laoersted feet
OF the coneusror, aud from these heights
he looked off upon the city that had cast
him out, and upon the world he had come
10 redeem. aud at the heavens tRrough
which he would soon ascend.
But wc must hasten buck TO the city
There arc stones in the wall which Solo

ling proof OF the truth OF prophecy. In
jeremiah, thirty-1rst chapter and fOrtieth
verse, it Is said that Jerusalem shall be
built through tho ashes. What ashes,
people have been asking We're those
ashes Just put into the prophecy 10 Ill up,
No! The meaning has been recently dis
covered. Jerusalem is now being built
out in a certain direction where the ground
has been submitted To chemical analysis,
and il has becn found to be the ashes cast
out from the sscrifoes Of the ancient tenn
ple-2shes of wood and ashes Of bones Of
animals. There are great mounds Of ashes,
accumulation Of centuries of sacrifices. il
has taken all these thousands Of years 10
discover what Jeremiah meant when he
said, "Eehold the days shall come saith
the Lord, that the city shall be built TO the
Lord from the tower of Hananeel unto the
gate Of the corner. and the whole valley Of
the dead bodies and of the ashes" The
people OF Jerusalem are at this very time
fulfilling that prophecy. One handful OF
that ashes on which they are building is
enough to prove tbs divinity of the Script
ures Pass by the place where the corner
stone Of the ancient temple was laid three
thousand years ago by Solomon.
Explorers have been digging, and they
found that corner stone seventy-five feet
beneath the surface 1t is fourteen feet

beautifully cut and shaped, and near it vas
an earthen jar that was supposed TO have
contained the oil of conservation used at
the ceremony Of laying the corner stone.
Yonder, from a depth OF forty feet, a signet
ring has been brought up inscribed with
the words "Haggai, the Son Of Shebnais.A- y
showing il belonged 10 the Prophet Hag-
gei, and TO that seal ring he refers IN his
prophecy, saying, 81 viii make thee a. a
Sgnet." / walk further on far under
ground, and l find myself in Solomon's
stables. and see the places worn in the
stone pillars by the hafters Of some OF his
twelve Thousand horses. Further on, look
at the pillars on which Mount Moriah was
built. You know that the mountain was
too small for the temple. and SO they built
the mountain out on pillars, and l saw
eight OK those pillars, each one strong
enough 10 hold a mountain.
TIE MOSQUE OF OMAR.
Here we enter the mosque Of Omar, a
throne OF MohanIpedanism, where we are
met at the door by officials who brins
slippers that we must put on before we
take step further, lest our feet polluts
the sacred places. A man attempting tc
go in without these slippers would be
struck dead on tho spot. These awkward
sandals adjusted as we'll as we could, We
are led 10 whore VIC see a rock with az
opening In ID, through which, no doubt
the blood OF sacrifice In the ancient temple
rolled down and away. At vast expense
the mosque has been built, but so somber
is the place ] am glad to get through it,
and take of the cumbrous slippers and
step into the clear air.
