BY WILLIS T. ELLIS.

Tarsus, Asia Minor-The main high.
ways Of history run across Asia Minor.
This has been the route for amounted
centuries Of the armies OF conquest,
and the peaceful caravans Of trade,
Journeying from Asia to Europe or
from Europe to Asia Here are the
footprints Of Cyrus and Darius, Nebu-
chadnezzar and Alexander the Great,
the Caesars, the Crusaders, the Turks
and the Arabs, and such distinguished
individual travellers az the Apostle
Paul.
He who goes on foot or wheel today
will find himself travelling the iden-
teal route built by the Romans, land
crossing old Roman bridges. AS he
notes the sites of battles or camps, he
will be able to see in the contiguration
of the ground why they were so
chosen. The trip have just made Is
a wonderful commentary upon the
books we studied in school and upon
the history of the early Christian
church.
Here are the ruins of many Of the
great cities of classic literature, the
Seven Churches of ASIA" to which
the familiar passages in the Apoca-
lypse were addressed; and the other
cities which gave Paul and his COM
panions a sample of mob law or else
worshipped them as Gods.
The Ancient East Still Survives.
The country is still pretty much as
1t has been for millenniums. The cities
are now hidden under the debris Of
ages, and the thriving commerce Of
that older day has disappeared along
with the marching legionE. But the
wayside wells are identical with those
at which the thirsty soldiers used to
drink. The khans are built of mud
and straw, and are after the same type
as were known to the travellers before
Christ; indeed they cannot be very
different from that primitive khan in
Bethlehem wherein was born the
worlds Conqueror.
The dust from passing caravans en-
grlhes the traveller. The soft-footed
camels who now come swaying along
with serpent necks, are laden with
cans of American kerosene. The bull
lock carts with their primitive solid
wooden wheels, bear material for the
construction Of the Bagdad railway. A
bent stick still serves for a pillow.

who realized the perils OF the air.
Despite the warning 1t is safe to say
that thousands Of other young men
will harness the air and ride the winds
this year and coming years. Man
has tried his wings. and the flying fe-
yer is In his veins. One hopeful fact
is that the Wright brothers, the In
