The lecture given by Madam
Lydia Mamreoff Won Finkle.
stein Mountford on Biblical
Orientalism and the Holy Land
was one of me finest ever given
on our Chautauqua platform
In her Introductory remarks
she said it was not q nation,
or religion that joined us all as
one people, but one name that
of the lord Jesus Christ. She
was born and grew up in Jeru
salem and gave their daily
greeting. peace be unto you. I"
In describing the shepherd
life, she said it was more ro-
mantle than any other. Each
family has its flock of sheep
taken care of by a shepherd,
but in case of draught, this is
|subdivided in order to find
green pasture.
She wore the dress of q shep.
herd and upon first appearing
the cloak of a shepherd priest
This cloak is woven in one
piece. If it has a border on it,
that denotes a physician. The
cloak of scarlet and gold is that
of a shepherd king, one of
black and white stripes made
of goats hair denotes the shep-
herd.
The shepherd always leads
his sheep and every flock has q
long horned goat as leader.
Each shepherd has q knife,
script, staff and cub This
club is used to STAY wild ami
mails and every time a large
animal is killed a large brass
nail is driven into the handle,
in case it is a small animal they
drive in a small brass nail, thus
keeping a record. The chief
shepherd never kills. They
also carry a reed instrument,
on which they play. The shep.
herds we're our first musicians
and makers of instruments.
In case a reed is ever bruised it
is always kept for it sings al
song of a broken and aching
heart. Occasionally they have
concerts on bruised reed only.
Vocal music can also be trac-
ed to them as David had a
chorus of 1000 shepherds. The
singing shepherds wear the
white linen cloak.
La their script is a smaller
bag, that contains their slings
and stones. There are three
kinds of slings-one that is
knitted and Melted and hurls
two stones; one that is knitted
and casts one stone, and the
war sling that uses a stone
shaped like our cartridge.
In Jerusalem today they
think, construct sentences and
live like Bible times. so that if |
all the Bibles were destroyed,
they would be able to rewrite
one.
The number 5 represents the
protecting hand of God. In
the smaller bag is also a rope
used to draw water in case
there are no streams.
When it is time for lunch the
milks a sheep, gath
ars some dandelion leaves and
water cress and putting all in q !
bag, shakes it until buttermilk
and cheese are formed.
In case of drought the shep-
herd leaves his sheep alone and
goes to find green pastures and
clears a path then they file in
single line and follow him. He
is a physician as we'll for he
anoints their cuts with oil and
he knows the medicinal value
of all herbs. 1t is nothing in
the mornings to see the moth |
ers bring their sick babies to
him to heal. Her interpreta-
ton of the 23d Psalm was very
good.
