In The Religious World;

, lization that reigned here. It is in one
| Of these transit ordan cities that the
occasional traveller who penetrates so
far may see the wonderful mosaic of
Jerusalem which has helped scholars
in determining the geography OF the
city. The culture of Greece and OF
Rome found home in the decapolis.
Ever strategist, Jesus was ap-
pealed to by these flourishing cities.
He faced the problem which we rash
+ y think is peculiar to our own day.
THAT of carrying the gospel to the
great city. Possibly this study of an
old passage will help to awaken
some Of our modern churches out of
their parochial ideals and help them
to work together in terms of the
whole city.
Now a Railway Route.
The traveller Of today goes by rail-
way from Damascus down through
the region of the Decapolis, skirting
the lower end of the lake as he
,strikes west to Haifa Still, as of
yore, the land is fertile, granary
for wide region. The Druses and the
Arabs cultivate it. although robbery
oppression and ignorance keep them
in poverty and squalor. Spectacular
valleys, lovely waterfalls and rich
gardens brighten the journey through
this region. The Mecca railway also
passes through the Decapolis territory.
The swift-moving traveller pictures
in his mind the patient master toiling
over this country and the Imagination
Is stirred to desire for the utiliza-
ton of all the modern agencies for the
swift spread of the story. The gospel
which then travelled in the heart Of
Christ has fired the brains of new
civilization so that today that same
story may be carried with romantic
swiftness all over the earth. .
Railways may come and customs
may change, but people are people the
world around. The mothers with
their sore-eyed children whom I saw
by the railway were not very differ

the help and healing of this wonder

need of the little ones appealed to all
the loving instincts of the good shep-
herd who was always so tender with
the little lambs. AS he travelled Jesus

over Governor Hadley's motion to-
substitute the Roosevelt list for the
national committ0ss roll of dele
gates is turning the Republicsi Ma
tional Convention into a bowling,
jeering mass of humanity, each rae
