vERAclTY OF THE BIBLE
After a Visit TO the Holy Land Even
a Skeptir Must Be Con-
WINGED.

One thing cannot fail to impress
every visitor to Bethlehem, and, in
deed, to the Holy Land generally, who
is imbued with true Christian faith
and a proper sense of the sanctity
of the location and of the events that
have transpired there, and that is the
more than remarkable correspondence
between the things and places shown
us today as having been associated
with the life and work of the Saviour
and other events that enter into the
structure of our religious faith and
the descriptions and accounts of them,
as furnished us 10 the pages of the
Holy Scriptures. They agree with
them in every respect and It is i'm
possible, after carefully considering
and comparing them, to doubt their
identity, so exactly are they In accord
with the Bible narrative.
The work in the fields, the arr1age-
ment of the buildings, the very arti-
cles of diet and clothing of ancient
days are plainly recognizable in the
doings and surroundings of today. In
deed, where modern methods have not
become obtrusive the n and
customs of the people remain much
the same as in the days of the pres
ence on earth of the Saviour. Be-
tween the descriptions given in the
Bible of localities, climatic and geo.
graphical conditions, distances, etc.,
of these times and those of today
there is hardly any discrepancy. Even
a sksptic, considering this remarkable
accord of circumstances with the
Biblical narrative, cannot but be con-
vinced of its veracity; to the believer
it cine as a wonderful conviction,
a satisfactory confederation or en-
couragement to see things as those
who described them SO graphically
saw them So long ago.-Columbian
Magazine.
