RELICS CLUTTER MOUNT SINAI
M0sIems Have Oyeriaid Jewish Traditions With
 Superstiti0nS.

He musd be an unima ginative man, whatever his creed. who can ascend Sinai without thrill of reverence. Here was given the law that is in scribed on the countless tablets of half of a world the maxims that have ruled much of the lives of billions of men and women in Europe and America for thousands of years. The barren grandeur oe the peak, the rocky difficulty O. the ascent, are pitched in the proper key. Unfortu- nately, the Moslem rulers of the re- zion have cluttered up the neighbor- hood and the mount itself with all manner of childish legends and "au- thentic" relics. OrieDtally tolerant, they have not only accepted the Jew ish traditions of the sprt which have become a part of their great rival re- ligion, Christianity-they have added to hem and overlaid them with ali manner of crude superstition.
 Thus they will show you the very rock where the children of Israel set up the Golden Calf, and anoth- CT commonplace boulder which is guaranteed to be the one smitten by Moses when the wandering Hebrews were thirsty Exhibit c is the rock on which Moses broke the first tab 1ntc in, hi fhnr ie, garden with a chapel, enclosing the spot where Elijah was fed by the revens. A second chapel in the garden is sacred to Moses. Near by is a Mos, lem relic, in the shape of a rock which bears the footprint of Moham- med's camel sort of legendary fossil. Even in Christian monas- tery, this somewhat primitive insist ence on marking the concrete spot where religious history was made seems to persist, for you will be shown an altar which is said to be erected over the site of the Burning Bush.
 All this is mere or less out of key, to tho cultured Occidental whose re- ligion must be more spiritualized and ,perchance for that very reas on less robust, but the relics are eagerly sought by many of the pilgrims who are mainly peasants from Central and Eastern Russia. The bare bleak mountain itself preserves it's grandeur untarnished.
