The Jews are not allowed at the tenn
pie. The Jews Wailing Wall is as
close as they can get to it and that is
the reason for their meeting here and
wailing. 1t certainly is pitiful Sight
to see From this place we went to
Mount Calvary, the place Of our Sa-
viour's crucifiXion. Very close to the
place of his crucifxion is the place
where he was laid, and just across
from there is where he was buried.
Just outside his tomb is small por-
ton of the stone which was rolled over
his grave in order that no one might
move his body. When I walked into
the place where he was buried, felt
just as if I were attending the funeral
of some dear relative, and tears rolled
from my eyes. feel sure that the
same feeling comes upon every one
who has a reasonable heart. Another
wonderful sight to see is the monu-
ment Of the blessed Virgin. This mon
ument is covered with jewelry, pre-
sented by different people Of the globe,
such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, ETC.,
and diamonds worth thousands Of dol
lars. 1t is. thought that the gifts are
sworth over a million dollars, and have
no doubt about it at all. Another me-
mortal spot Is where Mary was weep
ing for Jesus, and the spot where he
appeared to her and told her that he
had arisen from the dead. All Of these
memorial sights are very close togeth-
er and likewise Christian church is
erected over them, the most notable
church of them all, called the Holy
Sepulchre. BY this time it was getting
pretty late in the afternoon and we
heade for the hotel in order not to
miss supper Had supper, purchased
quite few postcards and wrote one to
pretty near all my friends that could
think Of. After this I decided to go to
bed, because I was very tired from
climbing hills. The end Of perfect
day in Jerusalem.
The Holy Sepulchre was the last
place I had the opportunity to visit.
There were many great points of inter-
est that T would have loved to have
visited, had only had about one week
instead of one day, but l saw the most
important places in the short time that
T did have to see. I saw the palace of
Pontius PLATE where Jesus was tried
and condemned, from. a distance, but
didn't get to go over just where it was.
The Sea of Gallilee, the main portion
of the Dead Sea, Jericho, Nazareth and
other Biblical points Of interest could
pe reached from the Holy City If per-
son only had about one week. I am
very thankful for the opportunity OF
seeing what L=did see. Jerusalem itself
is different from any other city in the
world. To say nothing about the nota-
BILE places about the city,. there is some
thing peculiar ABOUT it, not explainable'
which makes it much different from
any other. The city is nothing but
rock. All buildings are built Of rock.
A great number of dwelling places and
places of business are simply heWed
into the rock. The town is built on
different mountains which are adjacent
to one another. Mount Zion, which l
didn't have time to visit; Mount Olives,
Mount Moriah, Mount Sinai and other
mountains comprise Jerusalem. All OF
these mountains are more or less solid
rock. The name, Holy City, which is
given to Jerusalem, certainly fits the
place. If there is q Holy City in the
world, Jerusalem is it. Any way 1t IS
the nearest of any, in my estimation.
If a person ever had a doubt as to Je-
rusalem being the place Of Jesus, once
they visited the place, there would be
no doubt whatsoever. Had had any
doubt as to the truth of the New Tes-
lament before I visited the city, IL
would have all vanished after looking
the Holy City over. Jerusalem has
been the scene Of strife since Jesus
was cruciied. The place has been de-
