CITY Of Joshua and Rahab.

These old ruins represent not the city of Christ's
time, but the one of Joshua and Rahab. You remem-
Der Rahab, the fair lady who not so good as she
should be, who lived upon the walls of Jericho and
who hid Joshuas spies under the stalks of fax which
she had stored on her roof She told them of the
terror which prevailed in the city the possible
invasion of Joshua and made them promise to save
her when Jericho taken. The spies arranged
with her that she should tie red thread to the
bars of her window, when her house would be spared
She then let them down by cord through the win
dow, and they escaped and reported to Joshua That
was good days work for Rahab. The promise of
the spies carried out by the Israetes and Rahab
was not only preserved, but she married one of the
princes of judah, named Salmon, and thereby
became one of the most famous women of the ances-
trail tree of the Israetes She was the mother of
Boaz, who was the husband of Ruth, and King David
was one of her great-grandchildren. On the next
step of her genealogical ladder we find King Solomon
and away down the centuries comes the name of
Joseph the husband of Mary, and of the family of
Christ In the first chapter OF Matthew you will find
the generations from Abraham to the birth of our
Savior, and in them mentioned the names of only

Moses and the Israelites were wandering in the
wilderness and have tramped up and down staircases
of clay which were built hundreds of years before
Christ In one Of the buildings, which is supposed
to have been made 400 years ago. there was found
an uncovered court yard The house seems to have
been abandoned during fire and for some reason or
other It was left IN better condition than most OF
the others. II contained red sandstone mill for

tomato, with a hole through the center. There
are hundreds OF these corks lying on the ground,
There are also stone mortars which were used for
grain grinding and the remains of amphorae, or
huge Jars with neeks and side handles, which were
buried in the earth and kept to hold wine grain
The most Of the pottery is covered with a white
glaze and some Of it has vertical stripes of yellow
painted upon II.
As to the buildings the stone walls are built with
out angles, the cracks being filled in with smaller
stones. The work was done with tools of bronze,
and that OF it dates back beyond history. The
heart of the city is on an egg-shaped plateau Just
above the plain of the Jordan. So far about $4,000
has been expended on the work.

large and was thiokly populated There ere no
remnants OF marble columns and it said that
that Jericho had disappeared long before Christ came
and that another had taken its place situated in this
Jordan valley The Jericho of Christ had a
theater circus and a university 1t ranked with
Jerusalem one OF the important places in Pales-
tine It surrounded by irrigated gardens and
known the city of palms. II had grown up
in Roman times and Mark Antony thought SO much
OF It that he gave it present to Cleopatra. who
collected quite revenue from the balsam groves
there which furnished the gum of commerce
Cotton raised here at that time and this region
was then winter resort for Jerusalem. Herod the
Great had palaces in Jericho and it is said that he
died here although he buried somewhere near
Hebron.
We know that our Savior came to Jericho aud
here He healed the blind. He did not stay in the
city but dwet outside in the house OF zaccheus who
