A TRANSPORTING SCENE
Bs'ce up your nerves now, that you may
look while l point them out. Yonder is
Kirjath-Jearim, where the ark of God
staid until David took it 10 Jerusalem
Yonder John the Baptist was born Yon-
der is Emmaus, where Christ walked with
the disciples at eventide Huc are men
plowing, only one handle TO the plow,
showing the accuracy of Christs allusion.
When we plow in America or England
there are two hands on two handles, but
in Palestine only one handle. And so
Christ uses the singular saying, mo man
having put his hand TO the plow and look
ing back is fit for the kingdom" The OK
is urged on by a wooden stick pointed with
sharp iron, and the OK knows enough not
TO kick, for he would only hurt himself in
stead Of breaking the goad. And the Bible
refers to that when it says TO Saul, 1T is
hard for thee TO kick against the goads."
Here is the valley OF Ajalon, famous for
Joshua's pursuit of the five kings and the
lunar arrest. And in imagination / see
the moon in daytime halt. Who has not
sometimes seen the moon dispute the
throne with the sun, But when the king
of day and the queen OF night, who never
before Joshua's time nor since then stopped
a moment in their march, halted at
Joshua's command it was scene, enough
tomake the universe shiver: "Moon, stand
thou still in the valley of Ajalon" At an
other time we will see the sun stop above
Gibeon, but now we have only to do with
the moon, and you must remember 1t was
more of an orb than it is now 1t is q
burnt out world now, a dead world now
an extinct world now, corpse laid out in
state in the heavens, waiting for the judg.
ment day to bury it. But on the day OF
which | speak the moon was probably a
living world, yet 10 halted at the wave OF
Joshua's finger, Stand thou stilll' Do
not bulge an inch until Joshua finishes
those five kings, who are there tumbling
over the rocks, sword of man slashine
them, hailstones out of the sky pelting
them.
And there is the cavern of Makkedah
where they fed for safety, and where they
were afterward locked in, and from which
they were taken out to be slain, and in
which they were afterward buried, and you
do well 10 examine that cavern, for within
few hours it became three things which
no other cave ever was-fortress, prison,
sepulcher.
Az OLD TINE RoDBER.
Now we pass the place where once lived
one of the greatest robbers of the century.
Abou Gosh by name. From this point you
SEQ he could look over the surrounding
country, and long before the travellers
came up TO him the plan for taking of their
money or their life, or both, was consum
mated. He one day found a company OF
monks who would not pay. and he smoth
cred them to death in a hot oven. In hi.
last days he lived here like an oriental
prince, and had his attendants and admir-
ers TO whom he told the stories of brigand
age and assassination. So late as when
our eminent and beloved American, Will
lam c. Prime, passed through, Abou Gosh
the scoundrelly Bedouin. sat at his door
way smoking his pipe. His descendant,
live IN this village, and probably are nc
more honest than their distinguished an
cestor, but marauding and murder are not
"a safe business now rs when all tbi:
