1t seems almost sacrilegious to travel
by rail, in the footsteps of the Bible.
The iron tracks now cover the path
ways of the prophets, and the ghosts of
the saints may be reused by the shrek

A New Story of Cain and Abel.
The railway from Damascus to Beirut
shows you Mount Hermon, so famed in
the Psalms. and passes numerous
places, which, according to the Mo-
fammedans, were the homes and
tcrnbs of the prophets. Take. for in
stance, Suk Wadi Baroda, q little val
ley oasis made up of flat-roofed mud
houses, surrounded by orchards and
vineyards, on the way to Baalbek. 1t is
mentioned by Josephus and is re-
ferred to in st. Luke as the home Of
the tetSarch LysaniaS. The Mcham
medans say that Adam lived in the
mountain which looks down upon it,
and that it, was near the oasis itself
that Cain became jealous of Abel and
slew him. I have always thought that
Abel was killed with a club, although
l see now that the Bible does not men
ton the weapon used in the murder
According to the Moslem tradition it
was a stone. The story is that Adam
had divided the world into two sec
tions and had given one of them to
each of his boys. They had marked
out their respective possessions with
stones, when a dispute arose concern
ing the boundary line. Cain claimed
that Abel was inehing on him. where
upon high words sprang up, and Cain
threw a rock which struck Abel in the
temple and killed him.
According to the Moslem tradition
Cain was thereupon filled with re-
morse. He did not know what to do
with his dead brother and he took the
body on his back and carried it VITA

Galilee to Samach, which is tse station
on the lower end of that sea and the
place where a branch line rum off to
Haifa. From there northwa-d we
skirted the east side of the Sea Of Cali
lee. passing the hills upon which our
Savior preached and where He drcvs
the devils into the swine. We rode W
the valley of the Yarmuk, stream al
loses itself in the Jordan farther south
and at about 5000 feet above the sur
face of the Sea of Galilee reached the
rich plain of Hauran, the great bread
basket of the Bedouins. 1t grows
wheat and other grain, and the land
near the track was covered with pop
pies. golden daisies and wild red holly
hooks. We could see Bedouin camps
everywhere. They are made up of
brown tents five or six feet high, and
are so low that the people have to stoop
to get in. Outside each little settle
ment was an Enclosure for the stock,
and on the lands nearby cattle and
caDlels were grazing. AS We travelled
we could see great flocks of black
goats feeding on the sides of the Ieb-
anon mountains. They hung to the
cliffs, and looked much like flies on the
wall. There were also droVeS of black
cattle, and many flocks of white sheep
each carrying a tail of the size of a
sofa pillow. which hung down like an
apron, half hiding its legs.
The cars were crowded with Turks,
Syrians and Bedouins. but on the ad-

be the chief stopping place on the way
to Mecca.
Mecca lies about $50 miles still far
Their south and the track is being laid
toward that point. There are two
Christian civil engineers in the sur
veying party, but the people are so
intolerant that the engineers are kept
hidden the greater part of the time and
do their work inside the tents. They
are not allowed to spy out. the land,
to see or be seen.
The Bedouins are now causing the
contractors considerable trouble. The
road will take a large part of the
pilgrimage traffic, and this. it has been
estimated is worth to Arabia some
thing like 10 million dollars a year.
Much Of the money goes to the owners
Of the camels and the leaders of the
caravan. These men are Bedeuins,
many of whom have been employed in
the construction and in supplying the
other laborers with food. Now that
the line is nearing its completion, the
Bedouins has lost their jobs. They are
objeeting 10 the railway and have torn
up the tracks in many places They
are opposed by the soldiers of the
Turkish government, and the result is
a great unrest which may cause a
revolution.
Pilgrim Cars.
The traffic on the Constantinople-
Damascus and Mecca railways will
largely be made up of pilgrims on
their way to worship at Mecca and Me-
dina. AS it is now, with nothing but
camels to carry them, it is estimated
that something like 40O,0 coo go there
every year. and it is believed that the
will increase the traffic from SO to 100
percent Christians and other unbe-
levers win not be carried to the, holy
cities. although they may make tours
to Petra and other parts of Arabia
This Mecca railway will have special
accommodations for Mohammedans
