Early the next morning. while looking
from the hill over the valley OF herom,
where Joshua successfully fought the
twenty kings, We held family council
as 70 what should be done. That day
WAS 10 be our last in Palestine. for before
noon Dan, the extreme northwest point,
would be passed and CesArea Philippi was
designated as our lunching place. The
question proposed was, shall we cross
over 10 BeyrOut, Is originally planned in
our itinerary, or cross Mount Hermon
aud 20 over into Damascus and from
thence follow up Paul's great tour along
the Mediterranean? Naturally it was a
complimentary council, as with DR.. Tai

and harmony Of the encampment, we all
agreed that the proposed new addition

in Palestine. yet our experience had been
such an agreeable one that we would
gladly have fingered had Or. Talmage

grandly as we started of, and but very
few clouds recalled the heavy fog that
caused Us so much uneasiness the night
before. Or. Telmage felt, ne said, las
though he could take the whole trip

the tops Of which were capped with
snow white clouds, he pointed up to the
beautiful sight and said that while the
sun was doing its very best, there were
just enough clouds left to make every
