Luck Of Muncaster Hall Relic of Un-

there is. in the Oldest part of the
building a room which is known as
the Kings room. According to tradi-
tion this was once occupied by Henry

bedposts Of handsome carved oak, in
an excellent state Of preservation, and
which are believed to belong to the
bed in which the king slept.
II was In the year 1861 that he was
at Muncaster The Wars Of the Roses
were conyulsing the kingdom at the
time, and the unfortunate king, fee
ing for his life after the defeat Of his
troops at Towton, made his way into
Cumberland. where he was reduced to
wandering about in destitute condi-
ton on the hills. Here he was found
one night by some loyal shepherds,
who conducted him safely to Muncas-
ter castle, where lived Sir John Pen
nington, an ancestor of Lord Muncas-
ter, who was a devoted adherent to
the Lancastrian cause. Henry received
a hearty welcome, and lay concealed
at Muncaster for many weeks, while
his enemies made active search for
him high and low. At length his pres
ence there became suspected, and he
could no longer remain in safety Be

presented Sir John with a curious
glass bowl in which he had been ac-
eustomed to keep holy water, and,
kneeling down, he prayed that every
blessing might await the friend who
had shown such constancy to him
in his heavy misfortunes, and further
that a male heir might never be want

sion, the king assured Sir John that
the family would prosper so long as
they preserved the bowl unbroken.

Semitic Delphi.

Briefly, these stones seem to ex-
plain why Moses and his people want
cd to go into the wilderness. That
speech which I gave above was more
ssiaa mere ruse; for here. close to
Sinai, Prof Petrie and his workers
have found what is little less than a
sort of Semitic Delphi-a great cen
ter OF worship prayer and sacrifice
for the whole Semitic world. 1t was
Niebuhr who first discovered that
there was temple near Sinai. But it
might have been just an ordinary
Egyptian temple to Osiris, Isis or any
of that motley crowd who dog the days
and haunt the nights of the modern
Egyptian tourist 1t has now been
thoroughly dug up, and has been dis
covered to be a Semitic temple-a
temple for the Jews and their kindred
races 1t contains vast number OF
cubicles for pilgrims who went to
dream after the manner of Jacob and
Joseph, and hundreds of little Beth
Oh stones which they erected, even as
Jacob did, to celebrate a really for
tunate dream. OF course, DR.. Petrie
is much too cautious student to sug-
gest any connection between this tenn
pie and the Jewish exodus But may
not the suggestion, at any rate, be
thrown out that it was to this spot
that Moses first wished to lead the
Jewish exiles? Pharaoh, acting after
his kind, refused to compromise; but
are we quite sure that if he had the
Jews might not have gone to Sinai,
sacrificed there and returned to
Egypt?
