pact strata. 1t is to these facts that
the fertility of the region Is largely
due. But its further preparation for
the important role which it has played
in the religious history of the world
is due to the geological movement
which depressed the valley OF the
Jordan and Dead sea on the eastward,
and the minor valley of Esdraelon
which separates Galilee from Judea
The great fault" or crack In the
iearths surface In which the Jordan
valley lies was pronounced by Hum
boldt 1.-THE most remarkable geological
Feature anywhere to be found in the
world"
= AS you go down from Jerusalem to
Jericho, a descent OF 1000 feet. the
Ichalky deposits found on the summit
descend with you to the level Of the
Dead sea; but as you cross the valley
ten or fifteen miles to the mountains
of Moab, the chalky deposits are not
found upon that low level upon the
east side, but the shore is formed
by Nubian sandstone whose geological
horizon is 1000 feet lower than that Of
the chalk, and the chalk reappears
above It at that height to the east.
Thus It Is seen that on the west side
of the Jordan valley the rocks have
Slipped down 1000 feet, thus forming
"a natural barrier to protect Judea
from the incursion of armies from the
east, while the rapid rise from the
Mediterranean equally protects 1t
from the west On the other hand the
cross valley of Esdraelon, leading from
Mount Carmel to the Jordan, Is only
200 feet above the Mediterranean sea,
affording natural line of passage for
the Egyptian and Assyrian armies that
went out to attack each other, thus
leaving Jerusalem at one side in po-
Eition Of almost complete safety.
when Napoleon was at Acre he was
asked why he did not capture Jerusa-
lem. He replied: Its capture would
be of no military significance" Thus
the great geological movements in the
learly age of the world had prepared
Just such an isolated region as Judea
gwas for the long development of sacred
history.
The majesty and the extent of these
geological movements can be per-
iceived only when one notes that the
depressed valley of the Jordan and
the Dead sea is only portion Of a
deep crevasse in the earth's crust
which extends for thousands of miles;
indeed from the mouth of the Orontes
river In Syria southwark between the
Lebanon and Anti Lebanon mountains,
and past the Dead sea into the Gulf
of Akkaba, and through the Red sea,
lending only in the lake regions Of Gen.
trial Africa. When one reads Of the
earthquakes which accompany slight
lchanges of level throughout this re-
gion at the present time he is over
whelmed with the thought Of the
earthquakes that must have accom-
panied the more rapid changes Of level
that took place in the forming of this
.crevasse during early geological ages.
