said:
Ny Bible is, at the place OF this text, writ
ten all over with lead pencil marks made last
December at Bethany the ruins of the
house Of Mary and Martha and Lazarus We
dismounted from our horses on the way up
from Jordan to the Dead sea- Bethany was
the summer evening retreat OF Jesus. After
spending the day in the hot city OF Jerusalem
he would come oct there almost every even
ing to the house OF his three friends. tbiak
the occupants OF that house were orpha
for the father and mother are not mentioned.
But the son and two daughters must have In
/ herited property, for it must have been. judg
| ing from what saw Of the foundations and
/ the size Of the rooms, an opulent home. Lar
! arus, the brother, was now the head Of the
household, and his sisters depended on him
and were proud of him, for he was very pop
ular and everybody liked him, and these girls
were splendid girls. Martha first rate
housekeeper and Mary a spirituelle, some
what dreamy, but affectionate and as good
girl as could be found in all Palestine. But
one day Lazarus got sick. The sisters
were In CONSERVATION Father gone and
mother gone, they feel very nervous lest they
lose their brother also. Disease did its quick
work How the girls hung over his pillow
Not much sleep about that house. no sleep
at ell From the characteristics otherwhere
developed l judge that Martha prepared the
medicines and made tempting dishes Of food
for the poor appetite of the sufferer, but Mary
prayed and sobbed- Worse and worse gets
Lazarus until tho doctor announces that he
can do no more The shrek that went up
from that household when the last breath had
been drawn and the two sisters were being
led by SympathiEers into the adjoining room
all those of us can imagine who have had our
own hearts broken But why not Jesus
there as he so often had beenl Far away in
the country districts preaching, healing other
sick, how unfortunate that this omnipo-
tent Doctor had not been at that domestic
crisis in Bethany When at last Jesus arrived
In Bethany, Lazarus had been buried four
/. days and dissolution had taken place. In
that climate the breathless body disintegrates
more rapidly than in ours. IL, Immediately
