a most delightful and successful tour, and
would willingly give every detail to THE
NEWS, were it not that ! want to serve it
ont by degrees to my congregation in the
shape of a course OF lectures. AS you
know, my object in going abroad was to
see Palestine as it Is today. and to use
this knowledge in illustrating the Bible
lectures. I saw all OF Palestine. aud shall
never forget my trip from Damascus to
Palestine. I travelled iu such a manner
that / was daily in contact with the ma
tives, and can truly say the pictures pre-
scented by travellers as ideals are simply
ludicrous. l am now convinced that half
OF those VINO say they have passed
through Palestine never ave been there.
aud l found out positively while there
tina DR.. Talmage, with all his glowing
description of his pilgrimage, never saw
the inside of it. / made a complete trip,
but under nc circumstances would l go
again. l was attacked with the fever
while there, from which | suffered con-
siderably. The trip was very taxing and
a great strain In many ways.
my lectures will be called~sA Mid
Summers Ramble Through Palestine
I expect to give one every Sunday night.
1 greatly enjoyed my two weeks stay in
Ireland and Scotland, / stopped a month
in England, passed through Belgium,
Germany, Switzerland. Bavaria and Italy.
Though it was a delightful trip in sum-
mer time. l am glad to be at home
again"
