Readers of the Bible will remember that
wicked Queen Jezebel, who was the vito
of King Ahah of Israel. came from Tyre
and brought with her the worship of Baal
TO the ivory palace and temple which was
built in the city Of Samaria, and that the
prophets Of Israel and Judah often up
braided tho people for their abandoning
the worship Of the true God, and sacrifc-
ing their children to Baal, making them

In a crypt Of the Temple Of Baal at Baal-
Bek-and also in Carthage. Tyre and all

OF the monster. It sat within pit and at
its feet roamed lions. Regularly Baal was

THESE brides were the most beautiful OF

selected those they Thought the god would

With elaborate ceremonies into the crypt
and placed upon a cushion upon the lap OF
the statue. There she was left without
