JERUSALEM THE HOLY.
Onquestionably the Most interest
ing City in the World.
Tho Trip from jana to Jerusalem-Ths
Approach from the bethlehem Road
Places Famed in Biblical and
Profane History.
Especial Jerusalem Letter.l

What city in the world has connected
with it such crowd of immortal men,
ories! BY the Arabs it is called El Ruds
THE Holy, and it is yet, despite
the vicissitudes of time, the great
world center of religion. There are
cities more picturesque, cities possessing
more extensive ruins, cities of greater
commercial Importance, cities which
are the repositories of vast treasures of
art and literature, but none of such
vast Importance in the development of
human civilization. From the heights
of the Acropolis at Athens came forth
glorious art, and philosophy, and elo-
quence. From the heights of the seven
hills at Rome came forth the splendid
discipline of law and the mailed hand
of Roman power and organization, but
from the hills of Moriab and from the
forth to the world the spectacle of the
perfect life, and the Gospel of human
brotherhood and the love of God.
A steady stream of travel sets toward
Jerusalem, especially in the winter and
spring months. The usual route is by
steamer via Alexandria to Jaffa Leav-
ing Port Said in the evening the next
morning early the coast line of Judea
with the hills beyond is seen. At Jaffa
there is no harbor, and landing can be
made only in fair weather. Even then
the ship rolls heavily. A line of cvuel
rocks against which the waves dash
with great violence tell that this is a
dangerous coast. Little boats shoot
through an opening in the rocks and
carry the steamers cargo and passengers
to the shore. / counted thirty-seven
boats pulling for the steamer, manned
by sinewy Arab boatmen. From Jaffa
to Jerusalem is about forty-five miles,
which by horse takes about two days
with night at Ramleh. But soon a
railroad will be completed. Already
the rails are laid 25 miles, and next
year the Plain of Sharon will hear the
Shrek of the steam whistle. This may
take much of the poetry out of the
Palestine journey, but the march of the
steam engine means better communica-
ton.
One of the first items of stay in
Jerusalem is to visit the site of the an
cient temple, on which is now built the
mosque of Omar and the mosque of
Ell Aksa. To visit the Haram area or
the precincts of the mosque of Omar one

MOSQUE OF OMAR

must be accompanied by kardwas, or
guide from the consul of his respective
country. He must also be accompanied
by Turkish soldier, no one being al
lowed in the sacred inclosure without
such attendance. Securing our escort,
we passed down through the bazars
and were soon at the Haram area.
This is an extensive rectangular level
space, several acres in extent. Upon it
are numerous buildings, large and
small, with here and there cypress and
other trees. On the west side eight
gates and on the north three lead up by
stairs to slightly elevated platform,
on which are the chief buildings, the
mosque of Omar and the mosque of Ell
Aksa.
What strange feelings come over us
as we reflect that on this site was To-
Gated the temple of Solomon, and its
successors, the temple of Zerubbabel
and the temple of Herod! The Mosque
of Omar" as it is called, is not proper
ly a mosque, but prayer station. 1t
is graceful building, octagonal il
form. With its fine dome surmounted
with gilded crescent, it's exterior walls
covered with blue Persian tiles and in
scribed with sentences from the Koran,
its delicate arches, its beautiful lattice
work, the structure is a delight to the
eye. To the Mohammedan the interior
of the place of prayer is very holy, and
one dare not enter with sandaled
feet. Taking off our shoes we passed
into the interior in our stockings. The
interior is marvelously rich in it's gener-
al effect, with its harmonious stained
glass, it's intricate tracery, and above
all the lofty blue canopy of the great
dome. In the very center, screened off
| by an iron screen, is the rugged mass OF
the native rock of Mount Moriah, perhaps
the very spot where Aurana the Jebus-
ite had his threshing floor. The Mo-
hammedans consider this rock a very
sacred spot, the center of the earth,
whence flow the rivers of Paradise.
They say that when Mohammed as
cended to Heaven from the summit OF
this rock the angel Gabriel seized it
and held it down. Look" said the
white turbaned Moslem who recounted
these legends. "There is the print of
the prophets foot and also the print OF
Gabriels fingers" Sure enough, there
were clearly visible indentations which
resembled such prints Near by in the
floor was shown slab of Jasper origin
ally said to contain nineteen nails
which the prophet drove in. When all
these nails are pulled out the end OF

one of these nails out when he can get
a chance. Only three and half still
remain. AS we moved about men were
praying here and there, but did not
seem to be disturbed by our presence

field for investigation and study. A
vast literature has been written on the
temple area and the walls of Jerusalem.
Authorities differ greatly, but there can
be no doubt that on this site was the
temple of Solomon and it's successors.
Twenty-seven times has Jerusalem been
besieged and taken and several times
destroyed. 1t has been thoroughly
filled up with rubbish and every land
mark except the bare rock has been
swept away.
The next object of interest was the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre, built
over the supposed site of the tomb Of
Our Lord. AS we approached the church
we noticed in the square in front a
great number of venders of crosses,
beads, pictures, ETC., squatted on the
ground. Entering, we were first con-
fronted by large stone slab over
which was an elaborate canopy inside
of which hung number of large golden
lamps. Many people were kissing the
stone. This is said to be the place
where Christ was laid after he was
taken down from the cross. Going up
a fight of stairs to the right we saw a
recess, containing a rock in which was a
gold star over square hole let into the
rock. This they say is the socket
where the cross was placed On the
same level is shown the tomb of

Below under the great dome of the
