A QUICK HALT.

Well, that galloping group of horse
men on the road to Damascus were
halted quicker than bombshen or cav
airy charge ever halted a regiment.
The Syrian monday, because of the
clarity of the atmosphere, is the bright
est of all mondays, and the MONDAY
sun in Syria is positively terrific Tor
brilliance. But suddenly that noon
there flashed from the heavens a light
which made that Syrian sun seem tame
as a star in comparison. 1t was the
face of the slain and assembled Christ
looking from the heavens, and under
the dash of that overpowering light all
the horses dropped with their riders.
Human face and horses name together
in the dust And then two claps OF
thunder followed uttering the two
words, the second word like the first ::
Saul SAUL"
For three days that fallen equestrian
was totally blind, for excessive light
will sometimes extinguish the eyesight.

IN SIGHT OF DAMASCUS.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, coming
to hilltop, we saw on the broad plain
a city, which the most famous camel
driver of all time, afterward called
Mohammed, the prophet and the
founder of the most stupendous sys-
tenn of error that has ever cursed the
earth refused to enter because he said
God would allow man to enter but one
paradise, and he would not enter this
earthly paradise lest he should be de-
MED entrance to the heavenly. But
no city that | ever saw SO plays hide
and seek with the traveller. The air is
so clear that the distant objects seem
close by. You come on the top of
hill and Damascus seems only little
way off But down you go into a val
ley, and you see nothing for the next
half hour but barrenness and rocks re-
gurgitated by the volcanoes of other
ages. Up another hill and down again.
Up again and down again. But after
your patience is almost exhausted you
reach the last hilltop, and the city of
Damascus, the oldest city under the
whole heavens. and built by NOah's
&Eandson, grows upon your vision.

There are two or three commendable
things about Mohammedanisn. One
is that its disciples wash before every
act of prayer, and that is five times a
day, and there is a gospel of cleanli-
ness. Another commendable thing is,
they don't care who is looking and
nothing can stop them in their prayer
Another thing is that by the order of
Mohammed, and an order obeyed for
thirteen hundred years, no Mohammed
an touches strong drink. But the
polygamy, the many wifehood of Mo-
hammedanism has made that religion
the unutterable AID everlasting curse
of woman, and when woman sinks the
race sinks. The proposition recently
