Easter in Jerusalem

The immense throng of pilgrims of every hue
who crowd the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in
Holy Week and who wander amid the sacred
places throughout March and April is a spectacle
unique of its kind and to be compared only with
the Moslem pilgrimages to Mecca and Medina that
are beyond reach of the ordinary tourist. Here
fair-beared Russians from Moscow herd with vel
low Copts from the Nile valley and pale Rouman-
ans mingle on the banks of Jordan with bushy
headed Abyssinian blacks.
From the moment the visitor lands at Jaffa.
where the only convenient hotels kept by Ger
and situated In the German colony, he is
made to realize the weight of German influence
in Palestine. 1t dates, in fact from the visit of
the German emperor, for whom, lest he should
fulfill old prophecy. a special gate was built
into the Holy City. The tradition that any
ruling monarch who should enter Jerusalem by
of the ordinary gates horseback would
stay Its king.
A month in the Holy Land, with Holy week in
Jerusalem, offers difficulty. On landing at
Jana wither he is carried in a night from Alexan-
dra or Port Said. he may proceed by next morn

Journey, but 1t lasts only three four hours and
runs through tho stony vale in which David slew
Goliath. In the Golden City itself, where, tho
