TENSIONS TRAVELS.

II sday, June 30, 1s96.-Aftor ar
ranging for my transportation to Nuz-
areth, and administering to Brother
Grau, who was sick, l took an affec-
tionate leave Of the Saints at Haifa,
and started at one o'clock p. m. ia a
passenger In q carriage for Nazareth,
about 23ls miles distant In u southeast
erly direction. Though the heat In the
middle of the day was oppressive in
deed. | enjoyed the ride very much.
our route lay along the base Of Mt
Carmel. and thence across the plain Of
Kishon. which really IL the lower end
Of the great plain OF Esdraelon. We
forded the Kishon about ten miles from
Halfa, and then crossed low range
Of hills covered with oak forests to the
plain OF Hsdraelon proper. We stopped
to rest and drink at beautiful spring
situated by fine orchard, which was
surrounded by an enormous cactus
fence. Continuing our journey, we en-
tered the hlll-lands of Galilee, and
from the top of the ridge beyond AIu-
jedi we had our first View of Mount
Tabor, and also the mountains Of
Bashan beyond the Jordan river Soon
afterwafd we passed on our left the
village Of Yafa, the Japhia OF Joshua
10: u, situated on lofty hill; and af-
ter reaching the top OF another hin the
town of Nazareth suddenly came into
view; but as the sun had already dis
appeared beyond the distant height of
Mount Carmel and II was getting some-
what dark, the impression on the mind
was perhaps not SO complete as 1t
otherwise might have been. Stlll, as
1t was, the first sight of that historic
town, where our Savior spent the
greater portion of his life on earth pro-
duced an effect upon me which / shall
never forget. We soon reached the
lower end of the town, where l put up
at u neat little hotel kept by u Ger
man, who treated me kindly and who
subsequently arranged for my trans
portation to Jerusalem.
Wednesday. July !. | left the hotel in
the outskirts of Nazareth at o'clock
Il. IN. and took a walk through the
heart Of the town. At Mary's well |
turned off to the right and then struck
out on foot for Mount Tabor, distant
