sons for the past quarter, the com
mittec wisely departed from their
usual plan. Instead of going straight
through single gospel, they have
sought by process Of selection to
give us chronological view of the
birth, youth, and earlier part Of the
public ministry of our Lord. This
scheme will be continued until the
main features of the four gospels
shall have been brought before us in
their just relations of time and place
1t need scarcely be said that this calls
for more than ordinary diligence on
the part of teachers and scholars, as
it involves the careful comparison Of
four records, instead of the simple
reading of one: but it will amply re-
pay the labor expended on it.

Mary to Bethlehem?

"a. Repeat as much as possible OF
our Lords conversation with the

A familiar acquaintance with the
geography and topography of Pales'
tine is great helpin the study of our
Lords life; especially is it important
to clear and satisfactory understand
ing of his journeys during the days o1
his active ministry. Much has beer
added to our knowledge of the Holy
Land in the past thirty years, especial
ly by the Palestine explorat ton fund
| society and the English ordnance sur
veys. The sites of many places men
toned in the gospels are, however
after all these careful surveys, still
uncertain. In this list we must place
Bethara ba, Bethsaida, Enon, Caperna
um, Cana, Emmaus, and Golgotha
Time and place are essential parts o.
the great fact of our Lords incarna
ton. He was born at a certain perioC
of the worlds history aud at GER
tain place in it's territory. In tracing
the narrative of his life and labors we
must have some chronological ant
geographical data. This we have il
the four gospels with sufficient full
ness to enable us to locate with some
degree of accuracy every leading
event recorded. We must, however
study the map of Palestine, as well a
the. sacred text, with patience ant
care.
