that night. When this was done he
sought his bed and fell asleep, the
sleep OF the exhausted. When Har-
greave picked up Jones to share his
fortunes, he had put his trust in no
ordinary man.
A dozen reporters trooped out to the
Hargreave home, only to find il de-
serted. And while they were ringing
bells and tapping windows, the nan
they sought was tramping up and
down the platform of the railway sta
ton.
Through all this time Norton, the
reporter, Hargreave's only friend, slept

bare fact plainly enough for you to under

There are no native Christians at Jerusa-

Harris leaves you in no doubt as to that
At Bethlehem, the very children spat at
the Christian travellers. jeered at them, and
laughed at "your monkey religion"
Is it any wonder that the Moslems scorn
the necessity of maintaining guards, night
and day, to prevent Christians from murder
ing one another at the Holy Places?
How strange it is that an honest, intelligent
Christian like Mr. Harris should not realize
that the fierce and irreconcileable animosi-
ties which divide Christians are one of the
causes Of the non-success of Foreign Missions!
Speaking of the Church of the Holy Sepul-

Turkish soldiers standing by the very affairs

When Mahomet has to stay inside a Chris

The truth is our people have been slow to

obscured the real facts about this scrawny
little country, which looms so large in the Old
Testament, and which is so insignificant else
where.
