What is that; Town Of Ramleh, birth
place residence and tomb Of Samuel, the
glorious prophet. Near by Tower of Forty
Martyrs, so called because that number OF
disciples perished there for Christ's sake
but IL towers had been built for all those
who in the time OF war as In time OF peace
have fallen on this road during the ages
past you might almost walk on turrets
from Joppa 10 Jerusalem.
Now we pass guard houses, which are
castles OF chopped straw and mud where
at night and partly through the day
armed men dwell and keep the bandits of
travellers. In the caves OF these mount
aims dwell men 10 whom massacre would
be high play and q purse with few pen
nies would be compensation enough for
the struggle that the savage might have
with the wayfarer. There is only one
other defense that amc,Ints to much in
these lands and that iEhe law OF hospi-
tality. If you can get an Arab to eat with
you, il only one mouthful, you are sure OF
his protection, and that has been so from
age to age. The Lords supper was built
on that custom, special friendship after
partaking food together. To that custom
Walter Scott refers in his immortal Tails
man" where Saladin, with one stroke Of the
sword, strikes the head from an enemy
who stands in Saladin's tent with a eupin
his hand and before he has time to put 80
his lip, and does it so suddenly that the
body of his enemy beheaded, stands for a
moment after the beheading, with the cup
still in his right hand. After the cup had
been slipped it would have been impossible.

CHRISTIAN LANDS ARE SAFEST.
The only lands where it is safe to travel
unarmed are Christian lands Human
life is more highly valued and personal
rights are better respected, and am glad
TO believe that in our country, from the
Atlantic ocean to the Pacific ocean, there
is not a place today where n man is not
safer without n pistol than with one But
all through our journeys in Palestine we
required firearms. While the only weapon

On we roll through the plain Of Sharon
Here grew the rose after which Christ was
named, Rose of Sharon celebrated in all
Christendom and throughout all ages
There has been controversy as TO what
flower it was Some say it was a marsh
mallow that thriyes here. aud some claim
this honor for the narcissus. anG some for
the blue iris, and some for the scarlet
anemone, for you must know that this
plain of Sharon is a rolling ocean Of color
when the spring breezes move across it.
But leaving the botanists in controversy

Yonder, little TO the north as we move
on, is the plain of Ono. The Bible men
tions it again and again. The village
standing on this plain of Ono is mud
village. Two great basins Of rock catch
the rains for the people. OF more i'm
portance in olden time than in modern
timo was this plain Of Ono. But as the
dragoman announced it and in the Bible
read OF it was reminded Of the vast multi
tude Of people who now dwell In the plain of
Ono. They are, by their nervous constitu-
ton or by their lack of faith in God, al
ways in the negative. VIII you help To
