Tbev are fifty places on this road

echoes. On this road to-day we met
groups of men who, Judging from their
wuptrnanceS. have in their veins the
bIood of many generations OF Rob Roys.
With the fresh memory of some recent
violence in their minds, Christ tells the
people of the good Samaritan who came
along that way and took care of a poor
fellow that had been set upon by Vlllaln-
GUS Arabs and robbed and pounded and

the tavern where the scene spoken OF in
in the Bible eliminated. Tumbled in the
dust and CHASTITY With wounds the victim
of this highway robbery lay in the mid
die of the road-a fact of which am
certain. because the Bible says the peo-
pie passed by OF either side. There
we're T.? 600 priests living atJericho, and
they had to go to Jerusalem TO ot1iciata
at the temple. And one of these minis
tiers of religion, / suppose, was Oh his
way to the temple service: and he is star,
t.cdas he sees this bleeding victim i'll the
middIc0l the road.
"Oh." he SAYS. here is a man that has
5reN attacked Of thieves. Why don t
you 90 home?" says the minister. The
man in comatoSc state makes no an
swcr, or with a half dazed look, puts his
wounded hand to his gashed forehead
and draWIS out .'What?" .'Wcll, says
the minister, Il must hurry on to my
duties al Jerusalem. | have to kill u
lamb and two pigeons in sacrifice to-day.
lcnnot spend any more time with Tins
unfortunate. | guess somebody else will
take care OF him. But this is one OF the
things that cannot be helped, anyhow.
Besides that. my business is with souls
and not with bodies. Good morning.
Soon afterWard a Leyitc came upon
the scene. The Levites looked after the
music OF the temple. and waited upon
The priests, and provided the supplies OF

TINS road Whpre We are to-day, took q
look at the mass OF bruises and lacera-
uon in the middle OF the road My!
&y.' says the Levitc. '1this man IS
&WJ0Ily hurt, and he ought to be helped.

may not be enough frankincense for the

service that would make. Then one OF
The priests might get his breastplatc on
