Jerusalem itself has so much OF In
forest for the traveller that we had
spent a week there before we felt an
inclination to look beyond its immedi-
ate vicinity and go down to Jericho.
Probably no trip of the length OF all
the excursions about Jerusalem sur
masses in interest this short one to
the shores of the Dead Sea, for In 1t
are combined the most diverse attrac-
tions. One sees the Jericho road, Fam
GUS since the story of the Good Samar-
itan; the sites of the Jerichos OF
Joshua and of Jesus, where Zaccheus,
the chief publican, climbed into the
branches of the sycamore tree to see
the Lord pass by; the ford OF Jordan,
where the Israelites passed over
against Jericho and where tradition
places the baptism of Jesus by John;
and the Dead Sea, unique among
bodies of water in its combination of
the sterile sadness of its waters and
their extraordinary depression below
the level of the sea. There is another
feature of the excursion, the Wady
Kelt, the Brook CheI1th" of the Old
Testament, where the prophet Elijah
hid in cave and was fed by ravens
when fleeing for his life from Jezebel.
The immediate occasion of our go
ing down to Jericho, however, was the
news that a great number of Russian
pilgrims would. the following day, cele-
brate the Greek Epiphany by baptiz-
ing themselves, to the number of 1000,
in the Jordan river, while the Patri-
arch of the Jordan blessed the waters,
thus concentrating the baptism of
Jesus, which a more than doubtful
tradition places at this ford of the Jor-
dan instead Of farther north. A great
deal of interest in this sight was felt
in Jerusalem, and when we made up
our party and began to inquire for
carriage we found that every comfort
able conveyance in the city was al
ready spoken for, and that we would
be lucky to get any vehicle at all.

1t was therefore a rather stiff and
rusty old fourposter into which we
bundled, early the next morning, for
our twenty-mile drive down the Jeri-
cho road The morning was cool and
the day, which looked undecided when
we left the Jaffa gate and turned the
northwest angle of the city wall, soon
cleared finely. We turned again at the
northeast angle. "the Stork's Tower"
descended into the Kedron valley,
passed the Mount of Olives. and began
to wind in among the brown hills to-
ward Bethany. The road was good,
one of the few roads in Palestine,
where paths are the usual and almost
the only thoroughfares.
We passed Bethany, and found our
first hating place at Khan-Hadrur, a
little solitary khan by the wayside,
where Jerusalem drivers stop to feed
their horses. 1t was o'clock. and
while the horses were being fed we
inspected the cave which does duty as
the Inn of the Good Samaritan. who
seems to have emerged from the par
able into real life. Half an hour far
ther on we passed close to the Wady
Kelt, sometimes identified with Eli
jahs Brook Cherith, and we left the
carriage to scramble over the rocks
into the barren gorge. Far below us.
on the other side. we could zee the
white walls of strangely Italian mon
astery, hanging over the abyss in what
seemed very precarious fashion. 1t
was the Monastery of st. George, the
only building in the gorge, but not the
only dwelling, for the steep, rocky
walls of the Wady were honeycombed
with the caves of hermits of the past
and present, and their ladders could
in some places be seen hanging
straight down the face of the cliff, be-
fore the mouths of their rocky dens.
Except for the little garden of the con.
vent, and slender thread of verdure
along the little brook at the bottom of
the gorge. all that one could see was
waste and barren, the sides of the val.
ley descending, treeless and arid.
