The complete novel in the July issue
Of LipbincOh'S is ga Judicial Error,
by Marion Manville Pope. 1t is q
strong story, based on a murder fol
which the wrong man was convicted
and hanged. He has a friend who
determines to prove his innocence,
and does it. This plot involves some
rousing scenes and situations, and the
author has not been slow to improve
her opportunities.
"A Twenty-dollar Bill" by Alger-
non Tassin, is pathetic tale of hon
esty among the very poor and in the
face of the strongest possible tempta-
tion-to save a sisters life. Gillian
w. Ford tells about "The Rector's
Game-cock," which came to a minister
in singular way, and was thence
forth bird OF peace. Jean Wright
narrates briefly San Old Story
which is not a familiar or common
place one at all-of the army.
A Russian, who for obvious reasons
withholds his name, writes forcibly on
the "Decadence of Modern Russian
Literature. His terrible array of
facts shows clearly, what might be ex.
pected, but has not been much thought
of at this distance, the benumbng
effect Of despotism when vigorously
exercised through the censorship of
the press.
pennsylvania and her Public Men
by Sidney G. Fisher, is another
startling article, presenting facts
which, though common property, are
enough to set one thinking. Repub.
hes are often-not always-ungrateful
and in this respect the Keystone
State has not as good a record as
some of her sisters.
"My Rural Experiences" is one of
the last papers which the lamented
Prof. Boyesen wrote, and one of the
best. He loved his summer home on
Long Island, revelled in his peaceful
vacations there, and enjoyed to the
full his communion with Nature, es-
Gaping from the man-made town.

THE GRAVE OF ABRAHAM.
An Interesting Account Of Visit to the
Cave OF Hebron.

A con onespondent of the Neao YORK
Times, writing from Syria, says: He
bron is situated in the narrow Valley
Of Eschol, still abounding in vineyards;
the streets are mostly dark and dirty,
and the houses are mostly built of
stone and covered over with cupolas,
or small domes, which give a curious
and interesting effect.
Of the $4,000 people who live in
this unique old town about 600 are
Jews, who attract attention by their
pale faces and long ringlets. The
Moslems, who compose the rest of
the population, are noted for their
rank fanaticism and superstition,
which fact makes it dangerous for
Christians to visit the place unguard-
ed.
AT the entrance to the city we were
met by Turkish official, who, armed
to the teeth, went before us in all ol
our walks and drives through the
streets.
Only recently an Englishman was
set upon by crowd Of these roughs
and only escaped with his life.
The Cave of Machpelah is the OBJ
ject of the greatest interest in Hebron.
1t recalls some of the most touching
of the Old Testament scenes.
When Sarah, the wife of the patri-
arch, died, we read that Abraham
stood up from before his dead and
spake unto the sons of Heth, saying
i am a stranger and a sojourner with
you; give me possession of bury
ing place with you, that l may bury
my dead out of my sight" " The
contract was made in the gate Of the
city, and the field, the cave, the
trees in the field, all were Z" made
sure to Abraham for a possession,
and Abraham buried Sarah, his wife,
in the cave Of the field of Machpelah
Genesis, xxIII).
As old Jacob lay a-dying he tender
ly spoke of this Cave of Machpelah
and said: "There they buriet
Abraham and Sarah, his wife there
they buried Isaac and Rebekah, hi:
wife, ard there | should have burieC
Leah He gave explicit direction:
that his body should rest there with
his fathers.
Perhaps there was never grandel
funeral than that of Jacob, wher
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1896-06-25

Joseph, "wlth all the servants OF
Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and
all the elders of the land of Egypt,
and all the house of Joseph, and his
brethren, and his fathers house, and
chariots, aid horsemen," carried the
embalmed body from Egypt into the
land OF Canaan to the Cave of
Machpelah.
1t seems strange that the brutal
Turkish Government should be allow
ed to close the doors to this cave that
is Of such great interest to the
Christian world, and to all who are
concerned about ancient Israel. The
only Christian visitors who have ever
crossed the threshold of the building
that covers the cave are the Prince of
Wales, the Marquis of Butte, the
Crown Prince of Prussia, Gen. Lew
Wallace, Princes Albert Victor and
George of Wales.
saw cracks and rents along the
walls where devout Jews are accus-
toned to place written prayers ad-
dressed to their Father Abraham.
have before me an exact copy of one
of these prayerful epistles, and the
Jewish mother who wrote it and at
tempted to put it into the cave where
the bodies of her distinguished ances-
tors rest appeals most pathetically for
individual, domestic and national
blessings.
This is believed to be the only spot
on earth which attracts to it all who
possess the one creed, "1 believe in
God" The Holy Sepulchre in
Jerusalem separates Moslem, Jew and
Christian, but here they meet with a
reverence equally affectionate. Not
far away from the cave the Oak of
Abraham is visited, where it is SUP
posed that the Lord appeared to the
patriarch as he sat in his tent door
and gave him the account of the
coming destruction of Sodom and
Gemorrah. 1t is certain that in this
neighborhood this wonderful confer
ence took place, but that this oak,
old as it seems, was then standing is
as probable as that the grave Of
Adam has been identified.
