HOLY CITY AS 1T IS TODAY
Redeemed but Waiting to Be Clothed
in Raiment That ls But Her
Just Due.

It is well, as we leave the gentle
allurement of flowers in the Garden
Of Gethsemane and turn toward the
city. that our hearts have first been
filled with serene joy, writes William
ID. McCracken in Asia magazine. We
regard the fearfully tried city with
something Of the compassion that the
Master felt for it. Seventeen times
destroyed-bitterly hated-anxiously
s0ught-how desperate history
since Nebuchadnezzar captured it
more than twenty-five centuries ago.
And only the othr day, it seems, at
Christmas time in 1917, Jerusalem
was captured again, this time by it's
friends, the British, after an agree
ment with the Turks that the city it.
self should not be bombarded. There
was some fighting on the Mount Of
Olives. and recOnnoitering airplanes
dropped q bomb or two in and about
the Garden of Gethsemane. But Jeru-
salem had been captured for the last
time. and the last offensive was de-
void of evil.
Redeemed today, but In her naked
ness. Jerusalems waits to be clothed.
She has as yet no grace, no covering
for her ugly wounds. Some day her
sides will glisten with the brightness
of a heavenly radiance; she will be
washed and anointed like q bride
waiting for the bridegroom.

Filled with pride. Mr.. and Mrs

their new motor car. Mrs. Brown
was hoping the neighbors were watch

steering to hope about anything.
Alack! Before they reached the

and stayed that way with a mule
like persistency. Mr.. Brown tried ev-
cry lever and handle in turn. Then
he got down from his seat and be-
gan to investigate.
Presently he lay down and crawled
underneath the car until only his
number nines were left visible. In
q few moments the car gave a sudden
jolt and then stopped. and a terrible
flow of language, more forcible than
polite, became audible.
"Oh. John" exclaimed the wife, in
horrified tones, don't swear so! Have
patience. like Job did,"
"JOb," shrieked Mr.. Brown, in q
stified voice. Job would have sworn.

beastly car with his mustache caught

Sundays.

We should think of Sunday as the
children's day, the home day and the
servants day. While you are young
yourselves don't grudge your parents
the pleasure of having you with them
on Sundays. Some day you will look
back to those Sundays with gratitude.
When you have-if you do have-chil.
dren of your own, do prize those pre-
cious hours with them, do not give
them up to society. Do think of your
servants; and, I may add, Of cab

casually employ. Spare them as much
as you can on Sundays. When q let

why Increase the pressure Of Sunday
