to be made from Jerusalem, the one to Bethlehem
the other embracing the Jordan, Jericho and the
Dead Sea. The first of these which takes only
afternoon, lies along well-laid road past the
fields associated with the story of Ruth.
The Church of the Nativity, which has very
humble exterior and is entered by low doorway
that must often have saved 1t from the attack Of
fanatical Mohammedans, is built over the grotto in
which Jesus was born and at Eastertide 1t is as
crowded as that of the Sepulchre, with the same
curious and somewhat distressing conflicts be-
tween Greeks, Armenians and half dozen other
sects only kept in order by stolid Turkish guards
The excursion to the Dead Sea occupies three
days out and back and may be done on horseback
or more expensively and less comfortably. in a
cab
AS for Jericho, the ancient city of that name is
still the heap of ruins that Joshua left It, though
German archaeological society is bringing its hid

Jericho is merely gingerbread little tourist re-
