Some OF these Palestine children polite and

this year of Lord, 1911. The town is situated
high up in the mountains of Galilee, within sixty
miles of Jerusalem the crow flies and sixty-seven
miles from Bethlehem, where Jesus born. 1t is
within a days ride horseback of Mount Carmel,
where Elijah slew the false prophets within four
hours of CapeTnaum the of Galilee, FIR
where Savior took His apostles and where He
first preached.
Nazareth lies in a nest in the mountains 1t is
in little amphitheater of hills with rough and
ragged arena The houses up the sides of the
hills and there is hardly level spot in the whole
municipality. 1t is not large town. 1t has alto
gether less than ~ 900 people, of whom about half
are Mohammedans who look upon Christ a prophet
The remainder is made up of Greek Catholics, Latins
and about 200 Syrians of the Protestant faith The
town is of churches and converts 1t has
great monasteries and hospices where pilgrims are
kept over night
The residences of the people rectangular
structures which look more like great stone boxes
than houses. They usually of one-story with
door and two windows and the most of them have
fat-roofs, which In the summer form the resting
and sleeping places at night Many of the buildings
are in gardens Some have cactus hedges about
them and others shaded by cypress trees. There
many olive orchards, and figs grow here as
luxuriantly they did in the time of Saviour.

Nazareth has thousands of pilgrims who come
here every year to visit the places hallowed by the
Savior, and it is also the mail line here from the
mountains of Lebanon to Jerusalem. Caravan routes

The bazars, of today are of about the same char

Under Different Circumstances Might

The appearance of Ex-Governor Jo- seph w.

There seems 10 be a prevailing impression that the local committee in charge of the series did not get exactly a square deal at the hands of the for mer governor. The committee went To a good deal Of expense to bring Mir. Folk here and anticipated that his appearance would draw an inn menSe crowd to the auditorium. The night before the lecture Mir Folk phoned over from Phoenix to inquire from the committee whether or not il would have any objection to his delivering short address at ban quet to be rendered him Saturday afternoon. The committee offered no special objection. feeling that MT. Folks appearance in Phoenix before few former residents of the same state would detract very little from his drawing power at the auditorium that evening. Nothing was said about a public address free to every one in the afternoon. Now. it stands to reason that a great many people who had a curiosity to see and hear the former governor found it very con venient to be in Phoenix that after noon. where he could be heard for nothing. whereas at the normal the price Of admission was six bits. The committee feels that by reason of this public lecture in Phoenix Satur- day afternoon the attendance at the auditorium that evening was materi- ally cut down.
