One thing cannot fail to impress

have transpired there. and that is
the more than remarkable correspond
ence between the things and places
shown us today as having been asso-
ciated with the life and work of the
Saviour and other events that enter
into the structure of our religious
faith and the descriptions and ac-
counts of them, as furnished us in
the pages of the Holy Scriptures.
They agree with them in every re-
spect and it is impossible, after care
fully considering and comparing them,
to doubt their identity, so exactly
are they in accord with the Bible
narrative.

of diet and clothing of ancient days
are plainly recognizable in the doings
and surroundings of today Indeed,
where modern methods have not be-
come obtrusive the manners and Gus
toms of the people remain much the
same as in the days of the presence
on earth OF the Saviour. Between the
descriptions given in the Bible of
localities, climatic and geographical
conditions. distances, etc, of these
times and those of today there is
hardly any discrepancy. even
skeptic, considering this remarkable
accord of circumstances with the
Biblical narrative, cannot but be con-
