are three men in Jerusalem
claiming 10 be the Christ. One
is an Austrian, one a German,
and the other an Englishman.-
One styles himself Prince Eman-

self-styled Saviors and he is "a

cranks, he wears his hair very
long. Evidently they believe
that there is some connection be.
tween hair and holiness.
There is another erratic brother
who claims 10 be John the Bap-
tist. He is a Russian and takes
himself quite seriously.
But the men are not permitted
to monopolize ali that is rare in
religion. Over on the Mount of
Olives are seventeen Carmelite
sisters who are both dead and
alive. After going through the
ceremony of marriage, they were

the Holy Land. They also have
nearly all sorts of religion. The
method of reckoning time de-
pends upon ones religion. The
Catholics and Protestapts follow
the Gregorian calendar, the
Greeks and Armenians follow
the Julian, and the Copts the
Egyptian. The Copts have thir-
teen months in year, twelve
months of thirty days each and
one month of five days. The
Moslems and Jews have lunar
calendar, but have independent
new years. The Moslem year has
twelve months of tweEty-nine
and thirty days alternately, and
the season in which month
falls varies every year. Decem-
ber sometimes falls in the sum.
mer and July in the dead of
winter. The Jewish year has
twelve months, but five times in
every seventeen years it has thir-
teen months. Every year in Pal
estine there are four Christmas
es and eight new years. The Pro-
testants and Catholics observe
the same days; thirteen days
later the Greeks have theirs,
while the Armenians have new
year first and then Christmas.
Every week there are three
Sabbaths the Moslems observ
ing Friday, the Jews Saturday,
and the Christians Sunday. There
are many other festal days and
something religious is going on
pretty much all the time. The
religious situation in this country
is unique. No other land on the
globe can furnish a parallel.
| have often wondered why it
was necessary to send mission,
aries to the land which first sent
out missionaries 10 Christianize
the world. | have heard others
express surprise that the birth
place of Christianity, where its
great Founder preached and
worked miracles, should itself
become a field for missionary
work. The reason may not be 80
obvious to people in far away
America, but observation and
little investigation on the spot
will make it all clear.
Since Christ preached reli-
gion of love in the land divine]y
appointed for his chosen people,
many wonderful changes have
taken place--changes in the
government Of the country, in
its conditions, its population, and
its religion. Christianity was
supplanted by Mohammedanism,
which was planted in the Holy
Land by force and arms. Today
it is the predominant religion of
the country. Three fourths of the
population, including the ruling
classes, are Mohammedans.
OBSTACLES TO REPLANTING CHRIS
TIANITY.
1t is we'll known that the re-
suits of missionary labors in the
Holy Land, particularly in the
old provinces of Galilee, Samaria
and Judea, have not altogether
met expectations. There has

already grown up in weeds. To
adopt an expression used in bus-
iness matters, there is not "a
good opening" for any more re-
llgion. Everybody already has
religion. There is more religion
to the square acre in this
country than in any other land
in the world. The quality is
rather inferior but the quantity
is enormous. In our country a
very large per cent of the people
make no preteDsions to any re-
ligion whatever, but over here
everybody is professor of some
kind. The first work Of the mis-.
sionary, therefore, is to convincs
the other fellow that he is wrong
and should make change Nine
tenths Of the people are very ig-
norant and superstitious and,
consequently, iull of prejudice.
No prejudice is halt so stubborn
as religious prejudice. Argument
only intensi fies it. Fanaticism
and bigotry know no bounds.
The Moslems believe that they
alone have a cinch on those
mansions in the skies. Their re-
ligion itself was the product of
hatred of Judaism and Christian
ity. From their very infancy
they are taught to despise Chris.

same thing, and the Koran is a
text book in the public schools.
When we were in Hebron we pass

street. Some of the party peeped

ran to the window and spat in
the faces of two of the party. A
smile of extreme satisfaction
played over her face, for such
treatment of Christians is consid-
cred prsiseworthy. The teacher
did not even reprimsnd her.
Some time since our Consul at
Jerusalem, In company with an
Ex-Governor of an American
State, visited the same city.
Some Moslem boys began to rock
them, and our Consul raised his
umbrella for protection. The lit
tie fanatical rascals filled the
umbrella full of holes. So deep
is this feeling that if Moslem
cuts loose and embraces another

America, and yet they are doing
business under the protecting
folds of the American flag. The
scheme is worked thus: There
is mau over in America who
follows the business of making
Americans in Turkey. To him is
sent description of the appli-
cant for American citizenship,
and the American agent finds a
Jew over there filing the descrip.
ton of the Jew over here. The
American broker has him to visit
the Stale Department at Wash
ington and get a passport 10
travel in Turkey, giving the name
OF the applicant over here. The
passport is issued and then mail
ed to the gentleman on this side.
Armed with his credentials of an
American citizen, he appeals to
the American Consul whenever
his rights of person or property
are invaded. Our Consul has
only to remind the wrong doer Of
Mr.. Roosevelt's "big stick" and
that Jew Is no further molest-
ed.
Of course, these fictitious
Americans love America, but
American missionaries cannot
persuade them to love Christ
The Jews, like the Moslems, are
also held to their faith by fear OF
ostracism by their own people.
If one embraces the Christian
religion, no Jew will have any
thing to do with him, will not
associate with him nor give him
any work. With only such ma.
terial to work on, our people
should not expect too much of
