JERICHO AND THE CITIES OF THE
PLAINS ALL GONE,
Jericho is situated in the Jor-
dan plain, about one and half
miles from the foot of the Jordan
mountains. The present town of
that name is merely wretched
village of mud huts, with two or
three fairly good hotels which are
open during the season of travel.
The Jericho of the age of the
prophets, and the one destroyed
by Joshua, was at the foot of the
mountains west of the present
village of that name. There are
really no remains of it., but its
site is known by the spring whose
waters Elisha healed by casting
salt in them Gil. Kings 2 :21).-
The water of the spring is good,
and bountiful enough to run a
small mill. A large reservoir has
been constructed to collect the
waters for purposes of irrigation.
The Jericho of Herod the Great,
which Christ visited, stood at the
foot OF the mountains just where
the Jerusalem road entered the
Plain of the Jordan. There is
nothing of it left except stones
scattered over the ground. The
old cities of the plain, one and
all, have been wiped out of ex.
istence. Even the once magnifi-
cent and fertile Valley Of the
Jordan is sheer desolation. At
one time Jericho was a city Of

perpetual quarantine against
Egypt. Winter and summer,
whether there is any necessity
for it or not, tourists to Palestine
must be annoyed by it. 1t is one
cause of keeping away many
people who would otherwise visit
the land which is so dear to
millions. The annoyance is kept
up for the purpose of putting
fees in the pockets of a few
greedy officials. We were com
PEELED to spend twenty four hours
on the steamer at Jaffa before
landing and to pay for health
certificates when no questions
were even asked about health.
But little time was spent in Jaffa.
1t does not take long to see the
sights of that place. The house
of Simon the tanner, on the top
of which Peter saw the vision, is
pointed out, and the traditional
place where the same apostle
raised Dorcas from the dead
is also shown. The enterprising
dragoman of Jaffa seems to rea-
lize the scarcity of interesting
places in his city and he strains
a point to multiply them. He
finally calls attention to curve
in the seashore and calls it the
Bay Of Jonah. This he does with
a smile that betrays his doubts. 1t
was from Jaffa (Joppa) that
Jonah sailed on that fatal voyage.
The story of Jonah and the big
fish has always conjured up
doubts in the minds of many. 1t
has furnished much merriment
for the enemies of the Bible and
has been difficult for christians
to explain satisfactorily. But it
is simply question of whether
one believes in miracles at all
or not. If one does, then this one
was no more remarkable than
the others. Certainly it was no
more difficult to keep Jonah
alive in the fish than it was to
raise the dead or to feed the five
thousand on five loaves and two
fishes. There would seem to be
no room for doubt since Christ
himsclf cites it as an historical
fact Matt. - :40.) 1t is to be
noted, too, that Christ calls the
fish a ''whale."
WHERE THE DIRT ROAD Is SHORTER
THAN THE RAILROAD.
From Jaffa TO Jerusalem is 3S
miles by dirt road and 81 by
railway. The latter winds its tor
tuous way through the noun
tains of Judea and it takes 81
hours by train. The first is at
LYDIA, where Peter visited the
saints and healed Aencas of the
palsy. While at LYDIA the disci.
pies at Joppa sent for him and

train asked him If SampsQn kept
a geological garden on ID hill,
but he could not enlighten the
enquirer. We had gone only
few yards further when | saw a
large red fox trotting off towards
q cactus fence to conceal itself.
The cave Of Sampson is in plain
view from the car window but
that remarkable jaw bone with
which he slaughtered so many
Philistines was not in evidence.
For twenty miles out from Jaffa
the railway traverses the Plain
of Sharon. This plain is fertile
tract lying between the noun
tains of Judea aud the Mediter
ranean. Although cultivated for
more than 5000 years with
out the aid of fertilizers, it
is still remarkably productive. A
few enterprising Germans have
settled in and around Jaffa and
are demonstrating what goodly
land it is. The soil and clim ate
are especially adapted 10 the
growth of oranges, olives, figs,
grapes, wheat and corn. Oranges
are as plentiful rs hickory nuts
in our country. From Jaffa there
are annually exported many
ship loads of the finest oranges
in the world. Over 500 ships
clear the port every year. laden
mainly with the oranges and 9TH
er products of this magnificent
plain. 1t is not surprising that
the martial Philistines fought so
valiantly for their possessions in
Sharon.

Among the objects found in the
land of the Philistines were Egyp
tian seals, rings, scarabs upon
which were cartouches of Pha.
raohs, carved images of Egyptian
gods and kings, showing that the
Philistines were Egyptians or
tributary to that country. The
cartouches of the Pharaohs on
the scarabs would indicate the
periods that Egypt ruled the
Philistines. These recent discov
cries may give a new meaning to
the words of Moses: "God led
them { (Israelites) not through
the way OF the land of the Phil.
istines, although that was near"
etc. (Ex. 1919 We may notice

JERICHO, THE JORDAN AND THE
DEAD SEA.
From Jerus alem there are many
interesting excursions usually
made by visitors. The most i'm
portant one, after Bethlehem, is
the trip to Jericho, the Jordan
and the Dead Sea. In company
with party from Iowa, with
whom we had been travelling, we
made this journey. 1t requires
at least two days, as the river
and sea are twenty five miles
from Jerusalem. We employed
no guard. We had not proceeded
far, however, before heavily
armed Bedouin galloped up be
side us and continued to stay
with us. We asked our driver
what the fellow meant, and he
informed us that that was Aoul
guard for the trip. We INSTRUCT &c
the driver to inform the self
employed guard that we did no
