it was necessary to send them across
the desert by camels and then ship
them down the Persian gulf and
around the Cape of Good Hope to
America. To carry them with dis
patch they were cut in two.
Had the stones been sent out by
way of the Mediterranean sea they
would have been intercepted by one
of the countries along its shores.
A huge monolith Of coarse pink
westerly granite Weighing eighteen
tons has replaced some of the Paies-
tine stones. This was broken be-
cause of its enormous weight snap

Cement from the same pyramid,
which was erected almost at the
dawn of history. Is mixed with the
cement. forming the foundation of
the monument. The second section is
made of stone taken from the stable
in Bethlehem. in which tradition tells
us was the manger in which Christ
was born.
The third basestone is from Naz-
areth.. from the house where we are
told Joseph. the Virgin Mary and
Christ lived during the Saviour's
childhood and early manhood.
The die is one of the so-cal1ed
praying stones from the Temple Of
Herod at Jerusalem. These stones
are the only relics of the departed
glory of the Jewish empire, and it is
said enormous sums are paid by
wealthy Jews to the Mohamnnedan
government for. the privilege Of
weeping and praying at these stones.
The capstone is by far the most
interesting of those used in the
monument This is said to be the
very stone on which Christ knelt
during the agony in the Garden Of
Gethsemane the night before His
death.
Great care had to be taken to pre-
vent the stones from Palestine from
crumbling in the American climate.
AS 1t is they were cracked in several
places.
Many have wondered why these
stones were in two pieces instead OF
