ROCK CITY Of PETRA
OF ANCIENT ORIGIN
Geographic Society Describ:-
es One of Many Places
Held Sacred by Turks. :.

Though Turkey will be dismsm-
bered and pushed out Of Europe. the
Ottoman empire probably will con-
tinue In control Of some of the sa-
cred shrines and most precious his
tory spots OF ASIA" says a bulletin
from the National Geographic So
ciety.
For example, there is the Rock
City Of Petra, known as the, safe
deposit Of caravans en- route with
precious wares to Tyre and Sidon.
which also contains 'Pharaoh's Treas
ury.'"
The bulletin quotes from Q commu-
nication by Franklin e. Hoskfns de-
scribing Petra, as follows:
''The highlands east Of the Jordan
river are strewn with ruins marking
the rise and fall Of the successive
civilixations---Semiti Greek, Roman.
Christian. Mohammedan and Cruz
sader. These ruins have been pre-
served for the modern explorer by
tho tides Of nomadic life which have
swept up from the Arabian desert:
but at the southern end OF this no
mans land, deep in the mountains OF
Edom. lies ono Of the strangest, most
beautiful and most enchanting spots
upon this earth-the Rock City Of
Petra. Its story carries US back to
the dawn Of human history.

Central Point for Caravans.

I'm the days of the Nabatheanl
Petra became the central point to
which the caravans from the interior
Of Arabia, Persia and India came
laden with all the precious COM
modities Of the east. ana from which
through Egypt, Palestine, Syria and
all the countries bordering on the
Mediterranean, for even Tyre and
Sidon derived many Of their precious
wares and dyes from Petra.
1.-THE Rock City was always to these
regions ana peoples what Rome was
to the Romans and Jerusalem to the
Jews. Horitss, Edomites, Nabatheans
and Romans have all rejoiced and
boosted in the possession of this
unique stronghold and most remark
able city Of antiquity.
The entrance to the Rock City IL
the most striking gateway to any city
on our planet. It is narrow rift or
defile, bisecting q mountain Of many
hued sandstone, winding through the
rock a. though it was the most plas-
tic Of clay. This six, or deiile, ID
nearly two miles long. Its general
contour 10 . wide semi-circular swing
from the right to the left, with in
Vulnerable short bends. having sharp
curves and corners in its general
course.
'sThe width Of the six varies from
twelve feet at its narrowest point to
thirty-hve or forty feet at other
places. Where the gloomy walls ac-
tually overhang the roadway and al
most shut out the blue ribbon Of sky
1t seems narrower, and perhaps at
many points above the stream the
walls do come closer than twelve feet.
The heights Of the perpendicular side
cliffs have been estimated at from 200
to 1000 feet. Heights, like distances.
in this clear desert air are deceptive
but after many tests and observa-
lions we are prepared to say that at
places they are almost sheer for 800
to 400 feet.

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages,
and that is catarrh. Catarrh being
greatly Influenced by constitutional
conditions, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Medicine
is taken internally and acts thru the

foundation of the disease, giving the
patient strength by building up the

The Teachers Plea
For More Paw

A-lacka-day! A-lacka-d day,
What shall we do to get more pay?
We've taught for twenty years, or
more,
And still ask credit at the store.
Our needs are great, our salaries
small,
We cannot pay our bills at all;
When we have paid for what we eat
There's nothing left to shoe our feet.
With shoes at twelve, and hose at
two,
We really know not what TO do;
For four long years we wear a dress.
(This is not placing too much stress)
And when a new one we would buy,
We find the price has scared too
high,
And so we darn, and turn, and pinch,
To look our best. but 'tis no cinch.
To Summer School We all must go,
To renovate our brains, you know,
And though we've taught so many
years,
The school officials have their fears
Lest We forget the proper way
That children should be taught to
play.
This takes a good big roll from US
'Tis always minus, never plus.
Tho proaobor,c Calarv ,,,,,cf ho poid
Donations to the needy made;
The doctors bill will soon Re due,
The druggist wants his money, too,
cor course, we couldn't helpethe Flu)
The milliner says she cannot wait
Imagine what an awful fate!
To do without would be appalling,
And yet there's no sign OF hats fall
ing.
We teach the children how to talk,
To breathe, to sit, to stand, to walk;
We tell them just what food to eat,
And how to keep their bodies neat; ;
And then, for fear they need a tonic,
We give a daily dose of Phonics.
Morals and manners, too, we teach,
And every day a sermon preach.
We teach good English, reading,
writing,
And up-to-date athletic fighting;
Geography and arithmetic
Give first aid to the hurt and sick.
Then we must sew and cook in
school,
Ard teach the boys to handle tools.
Suppose you had SO much to do,
We ask, would you want more pay,
too?"
These are not half the things we do,
But every word of it is true;
So rouse yourselves, good people,
pray
You know that we deserve more pay.
We're faithful, conscientious, true,
And do our very best for you.
A-lacka-day! A-lacka-day!
We cannot teach for such small pay.
TEACHER.

NATIONS OF THE WORLD
MUST ACCEPT DEMOCRACY

Baltimore, Md, April 5.-BishoI
Wilson S. Lewis, guest at luncheon
rendered by large group of promi-
nent clergymen and laymen at the
Hotel Emerson, declared that out OF
| the wreck of nations today civiliZa-
tion must accept the principles OF
Democracy or be overwhelmed with
anarchy.
AS the chief representative of the
| Methodist Episcopal Church in the
| Orient, Bishop Lewis, just returned
from abroad after a study of condi-
| tions in Old World centers, declared
! the United States must bring quick
aid to weaker peoples of the other
| hemisphere if they are to escape the
evils of Bolshevism and kindred dan
gers.
Nations of the Old World look
| appealingly to the Stars and Stripes
! for protection in the grave crisis
that confronts them," Bishop Lewis
said. "They all are calling for the
leadership of the United States that
they may be shielded from injustice.
| There's yet Germany with a dream
| in it's heart The better element of
Germany eventually will want to be
lifted to better standards CT righte-
| ousness."
hot old
ing and old ideas are receiving a
bad reception at the hands of the
world, Bishop Lewis declared that
the Missionary Centenary campaign,
launched by the Methodist Episcopal
Church, was tremendous drive for
preparedness" to meet the count
less responsibilities with which the
church will be confronted in the
new age now dawning.
The world reconstruction plan of
the Missionary Centenary was char
acterized by Bishop Lewis as the
most daring ana far-reaching plan
ever projected fer worldwide relief
vi pCOplSS III ulSll CSS
THE Missionary Centenary, mark
ing the hundredth anniversary" Of
Methodist missions, is to be brought
to a climax May 18th, by the raising
of millions of dollars This drive for
millions to make humanity better,
and to make the Old World a more
cheerful place to live in, extends in
it's scope far beyond the bounds of
Methodism. Inevitably it will lead
to a gigantic inter-church movement
that will make Christianity a
greater world force.
I'VE ar eface to face with an age
for which we are unprepared. Our
text books and teachers have prepar-
ed us to live with somebody. New
world conditions force us to live
with everybody. Suddenly our ma
ton finds itself lifted up on the
choulders. of all nations
Bishow Lewis emphasized the
point that churches of all denomina-
llOuS, DSCduSo VI Idpluly Cudu6iAS
situations forced by war, hereafter
must look beyond their territorial
borders and map out plans for hu-
manitarian endeavors upon scale
that will be world wide.
I'm Methodism,' he said, I'VE must
reconstruct. our whole church build
ing program We must get behind
the educational plan of the church.
Our schools and colleges will not
be adequate to meet the needs of the
age just now dawning.
Millions in China must be res
cued from depravity. In France
there are 10000 orphans. What is
to become>of them? The Church
must answer. The duty of the
Church is plain. In this and many
the manifold blessings that must
come out of the Centenary program,
which calls for liberal expenditures
to make democracy safe for the
world"
