of the building, having capacity OF
400. An organ, which played an en-

is located Immediately above the
skate room. and the music which
emanates from 1t Is almost equal t.

with q note you had in concerning
some literature that had come to 20,
concerning the teaching Of Buddhism
and you wound up with this remark
that sounds q little like the teaching
of the B. p. o. E." That Is whal

A few items about the city in which
We live may be Of some interest to
you and your readers. The city Ii
said to be a very old one. being the
seaport for this part Of Syria in the
days Of the. Phoenecians. At one time
1t has had . very fine harbor. In
the second century It is said to have
been taken BY the Romans. until take
By the Arabs lin 637. In those
days II was famous for It's vines and
wine. The Arabs held 1t until the
coming Of the Crusaders. For time
1t vas under the rule Of the central
power th1n at Antioch. Many are
the marks Of the Crusaders here
found.
In the years 1857 and 1170 the city
was almost wiped out by earthquake
and then In 1897 the half was again
destroyed by earthquake. The city
was taken from the Crusaders by
the Arats and they held It until the
coming of the Turk. The population
Il q mixed one. The estimate is
that the census records about 25,000
and Of these 10000 are Moslems, the
rest being divided amongst Greeks,
Maronites. Armenians, Roman Catho-
lies and Protestants. Missionary worh
was begun by our church about fifty
years ago. Rev. r. J. Dodds. father
of the late c. R. Dodds. Of your
city. and Of J. c. Dodds Of Fair

Dodds IL buried here In the mission
