HOLY CITY AS 1T is TODAY
Redeemed but Waiting to Be Clothed
in Raiment That Is but Her
Just Due.

1t 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
filed with serene joy, writes William
d. McCraclen in Asia magazine. We
regard the fearfully tried city with
something of the compassion that the
Master felt for 1t. Seventeen times
destroyed-bitterly hated-anxiously
sought-how desperate history
since NebuchadnezZar captured 1t
more than twenty-five centuries ago.
And only the other day, II seems, at
Christmas time in 1917, Jerusalem
was captured again. this time by its
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 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, hut in her naked
ness, Jerusalem 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 heavenly radiance: she will be
washed and anointed like n bridS
waiting for the bridegroom.
