 T am Jesus whom thou persecutest; 1t is hard for thee to kick against the pricks"
 You remember how the blind Paul, or Saul, as he was then called. was led into Damascus and taken to the house of man named Ananias, not the husband Of Sapphira, however, nor any associate of the champion liar of history. You re- call how when he came there he again received his sight and, being converted, was baptized. It was the house of this Ananias. according to my guide and tho guide books, that l visited the other day. found the Ananias of the present by no means averse to small gift of silver. He took all my spare change, and then asked for more. l later discovered that the authenticity of the house is Ques- toned, and there is another Ananias house, which is now used as chapel. looked for the house of Naaman, the Syrian, and was shown an old building which is occupied by lepers.
 In the Street Called Straight
 It was in the street called Straight that Ananias met Pstl. This is one of the principal highways of the Damascus of today. It leads from the chief gate on the south to the bazars, and is about the only straig:- street in the city. It goes right through Damascus, and is 30 wide that two or three carriages can pass within 1t. It is the center of traffic and while there l saw caravans of camels. donkeys and horses bringing in and talk ing out all kinds of goods. One line of camels was loaded with poplar trees aa long as telegraph poles, the ends of which dragging the road as they walked. Behind them came donkeys with panniers of green cucumbers and horses loaded with baskets of Jaffa oranges, each as big as the head of baby I mean the oranges. mule followed the horses. It was loaded with butter from the interior. the butter being packed in black leather bottles of the shape and size of a tin din- ner bucket
 Where St. Paul Was Let Down in .
 Basket
 St. Paul had lively time in Damas. GUS He preached in the synagogue and confounded the Jews After a while the Jews took counsel to kill him, and they watched the gates day and night for that purpose. It was then that his friends took him by night and let him down over the wall in basket. You may read about this in Acts k, and in Corinthians, ii, Il. Paul himself states that the gov- ernOr or the city sent garrison to. ar. rest him. and that it was through a win- dow in the wall that he was let down b basket and escaped.
 This very place Is now shown, and have made photograph or the spot. Tho wall is a great structure of stone, with a mud wall on top. There is house on the top at the place indicated. This has win. dows with great bars across them, ard It is very easy to imagine how St. Paul might have been let down from aa,ch . place when he made his escape

OLDEST CITY-By Frn1k c. Carpenter

and take stroll through the city. This is Sunday, and we shall first visit the mosques. There are TO large ones, where sermons are preached every Friday, and IF which might be called chapels, con- nected with which are Mohammedan schools. Many of these mosques have libraries, and in all of them the chief study taught is theology, including the Koran and the traditions of the prophets. After that comes law and then philoso- phy. logic and grammar. Modern sciences are unknown, and all other branches of learning are entirely neglected.
 in Mohammedan Church
 Entering this room, we find POGO men and perhaps 100 women at prayer. Never theless the building seems empty. The worshipers are scattered over the floor The women are alone, and the men dare not look at them. They are closely yelled, and they do not notice us as we go by. Most of the men are on their knees, CT sitting upon the floor. All have re- moved their shoes before they came into

the church and they now lie beside in front of them. The floor is covered with costly rugs, the presents from devout Mohammedans. Think of roofing a large field, and then carpeting that field with Oriental rugs, any one of which would be fit to hang upon your walls as a treas ure, and you have some of the outlines of the picture which now lies before us
 There are strange things in the mosque In it's center is a marble chapel, sup posed to stand over the ashes of the head of John the Baptist. Men are sit ting before the chapel, with their heads facing Mecca, and they rise and fall as they pray to John the Baptist, the fore runner of Christ, and to Mohammed as the prophet of God. It is thus that re- ligion, like politics, makes strange bed fellows.
 Damascus is the heart of the Moham- medan world. At its baclSi is Persia, al- together Mohammedan. At 1ts south Pal estine and Arabia which, dre more Mos lem than Christian, while at the north

This wes the case last spring, when thousands were killed and the most terrible slaughter of Christians by heathens known to the world took place in this region Mutitudes were mas sacred, and it was only because the great Christian nations of Europe were afraid of their pocketbooks and of the loss of that balance of power which might re- suit from a war that the Turkish em- pre was not wiped out as punishment therefor.
