PALESTINE: PICMY LAND
WITH A GIANT HISTORY

4ue HlStOTiC I1Oly Auuu WHERE mOVeu
the Nazarene whose birth will be COM
memorated around the world this
week, is characterized as "a tiny lit
tie country" by viscount James Bryce.
In a communication to the National
Geography society:
Though the travellers hand books
prepare him to find Palestine small.
It surprises him by being smaller than
be expected. Taking 1t as the region
between the Mediterranean on the
west and the Jordan and Dead sea on
the east. from the spurs of Lebanon
and Hermon on the north to the desert
at Beersheba on the south, 1t Is only
ITO miles long and 90 to 20 broad-that
is to say, 1t is smaller than New
Jersey.
"Of this region large parts did not
really belong to ancient Israel. Their
hold on the southern and northern dis
trlcts was but slight. while In the
southwest, wide and rich plain along
the Mediterranean was occupied by
the warlike Philistines, who were
sometimes more than match for the
Hebrew armies. Israel had, In fact,
little more than the hill country. which
lay between the Jordan on the east
and the maritime plain on the west.
King David, in the days of his power,
looked down from the hill cities of
Benjamin, just north Of Jerusalem, up
on Philistine enemies, only % miles
OF, on the one side, and looked across
the Jordan TO Moabite enemies, about
as far off, on the other
NEARLY all the events in the history
OF Israel that ire recorded In the Old
Testament happened within territory
no bigger than the state OF Connecti-
cut, whose area is 4,S0O square miles;
and into hardly any other country has
there been crowded from the days OF
Abraham till our own, so much history
that is TO say, so many events that
have heeu recorded and deserve TO be
recorded In the annals ef mankind
'Nor is II only that Palestine IL
really small country. The traveller
constantly feels as he moves about
that II Is a small country. From the
heights, few miles north of Jeru.
salem. he sees, looking northward,
far-off summit carrying snow for eight
months In the year. II is Hermon,
nearly 10000 feet high-IIermon
whose fountains feed the rivers Of
Damascus.
''But HernOn is outside the terri.

Of Lebanon. We are apt TO think of
that mountain mass as within the
country. because II also Is frequently
mentioned In the Psalms and the
Prophets; but the two ranges Of Leb.
anon also rise beyond the frontiers
Of Isrncl. lying between the Syrians Of
Damn SOUS and the phoeniclans OF the

Perhaps Il is because the maps
from which children used to learn

to him to be the sort of paper that is
found in hotels and in clubs it had been
torn roughly from the sheet.

person, who might have been respecta-

gave the inspector sidelong nod as he
approached his desk, at the same time
extending his hand toward the scrap of
paper which Spargo had just laid down.

Spargo, but as if speaking to himself.
"Yes, I'll so there."
The newcomer glanced at Spargo, and
then at the inspector. The Inspector
nodded at Spargo.
