past the enclosure thought to be the
garden of Gethsemane, over the brook
Hebron, through st. Stephens gate,
across the native town with narrow
paved streets, fanked by ill-smeling
shops and out through the Damascus
gate. 1t is likely that part of this route
was the via dolorosa' trodden by the
Master. The night was quiet and holy,
with thoughts of Him as we wended
our way homeward.
Meets w. J. Bryan.
Next morning we returned by train
to Jaffa. That evening in the hotel I
was surprised to see a gentleman
walk in to dinner whom recognized
as William Jennings Bryan. A New
York friend introduced me and had
pleasant chat with him.
1 Our company Of seven, including
two women from Kansas, City. drove,
over miserable roads, to Haifa, and
then after short rest, with, fresh
horses. struck out for Nazareth. The
drive along Mt. Carmel through olive
groves and across the beautiful plain
of Esdraet0n, was. charming one.
Little Hermon, Mt. Gibboa, Mt. Tabor,
Cana, Jezreel, Shunem and many 9TH
Ter places Of interest were pointed out
to us. The Well of. the Virgin at Naz-
areth was one of the few places where
1t is all but certain that Jesus must
often have come with his mother, as
it is the only spring in the vicinity.
Our next point was Liberals, and per-
haps the climax OF the whole trip was
the morning spent on the lovely Sea OF
Galilee. We were reminded at every
turn of incidents in the life Of our
Lord. Towering above the nearer hills
that surround the lake was grand old
Hermon, its summit wreathed in snow.
But must close this long letter.

Pushing our way through a crowd
OF happy, chattering Syrians. Turks
and Jews, we are met by fine looking
gentleman, proprietor of the Hughes
hotel, who takes us In charge. After
a twenty minutes exciting drive be-
hind pair of prancing Arab horses,
we are landed at the hotel. The next
morning was Easter Sunday, and we
saw thousands of pilgrims who had
come UP TO spend holy week vending
their way to the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre.' 1t was very sad to see
turkish soldiers, pacing to and fro in
the church, their presence being neces-
sary to keep the peace between the
Christians. Armenians, Roman Catho-
lies and many other sects have chapels
here and there have been terrible quar-
rels between some Of them in former
times. The Greek professional was a
marvellous sight. The priests and high
er dignitaries Of the church in costly
gold embroidered robes, the Russian
ambassador and others In resplendent
uniform, the patriarch of Jerusalem in
magnificent gown, wearing a crown
studded with many precious stones and
guarded by soldiers. Then followed
the lesser lights, marching by to the
church with hundreds of pilgrims,
many of them Russian peasants in
queer costumes, bringing up the rear.

"a quiet little service in the Ameri.
can Mission chapel in the afternoon
seemed to me much more in accord
with the Masters spirit. The Easter
sermon was preached by DR.. Jessup,
and communion service led by my
friend, DR.. George Alexander Of New
York.
Eight days were spent in Jerusa-
lem and the time was all too short.
The city itself, set UP on a great
plateau and looking like an impregna-
bic fortress, with its gray walls and
towers, is more beautiful and magnif-
cent than had expected to find it.
now crowned by the beautiful Mosque
Of Omar, and tried to recall the sacred
scenes enacted there. We walked with
bated breath; as we thought of the days
when the glory Of the Lord filled the
templS, ana, ldIer, Wnen Jesus went
out of his Fathers house. Drives to
Bethlehem, Bethany, Jericho, the river
Jordan and the Dead Sea were events
never to be. forgotten.
An unique experience another day
was riding donkey up the Mount of
Olives to a Y. w. G. A. meeting. I
found little band Of twenty-five or
thirty English. German, American and
Syrian members having tea in shady
nook at the very top of the plateau.
From there we looked upon the blue
waters Of the Dead sea 1900 feet below
us and distant from us seven hours of
wearisome travel Beyond were MT.
Nebo and the mountains Of Moab.
Nearer was the valley of the Jordan
and the heights Of Bethlehem. !.
* Two evenings later / came with an
English friend to dine with the z. w.
CA. secretary who lives on the Mount
of Olives. From her home we saw the
sun set. over Jerusalem Later we
found our way though the night was
very dark down the steep, rocky road.

she told him that the man he defended traitor
