ON HOLY GROUND
Mohammedans Venerate Sane

Traditions Of Ages and Profound Mys
terry Surrounding the Famous
Dome of Rock.

The Mohammedan sanctuary in
Jerusalem ON the Mount of Abrahams
and David's sacrifices echoes the
splendor of Solomon's temple that
once stood in that locality, writes J. F.
Scheltma in Asia Magazine. With its
latticed screens of eboy,. its brOcaded
curtains, its stained glass and mosaics
In their somewhat faded glory, the
dome of the rock stands iu the soli-
tude of the sacred precinct like one
of those places hewn of a single opal
or turquoise we read of In oriental
fairy tales.
Approaching it, the Moslem pilgrim
has to observe a strict ceremonial. AS
he enters he puts his right foot for
ward, begging pardon for his sins and
invoking Gods mercy. Walking round
the rock, he must keep it on his right
hand, reversing the process followed
when making the circuit of the Kaaba
at Mecca. Before proceeding to the
cave underneath, he must probe his
heart and strive for humility of spirit.

God, forgive those who have sinned
and relieve the injured"
He firmly believes that the rock is
supported by palm tree rooted in
one of the fair rivers of paradise, the
tree in the shade of which the beau
tiful, martyred Asia, wife of Pharaoh,
and Mirias, the sister of Moses, will
'slake the thirst of the Faithful on the
day Of resurrection.

visits the other shrines of the Holy
Enclosure. There, In the heart of
Jerusalem, are the dome of the as
cent, where the prophet was lifted up
when starting on his heavenly jour
ney, and the dome of the chain. The
chain that used to hang down from
its ceiling was supposed to be pos
sessed Of miraculous properties. When
ever judge had to decide in a
difficult case between litigants who
supported their conflicting claims by
contradictory statements, he trans
ferred his tribunal hither and invited
them to touch the links of the chain
while repeating their assertions. Then
the truth came to light, for the chain
could easily be seized by the vera
cious, but eluded the grasp of the in
iquitous who tried by falsehood to get
the best of his opponent.
One day, however, the oracle was
baffied by man accused of having
borrowed money without paying IL
back. Now. he kept this money con-
cealed in q hollow staff which he

COURTESY At The Telephone

Courtesy at the telephone is quite
as important as courtesy toward a
person who stands face to face with
you. The fact that you cannot see
the person at the other end of the
line or, in some cases, do not know
who it is, in nowise excuses a word
or manner that you would not
employ in addressing a friend.
IL is not at all uncommon for a
man who would not think of in
sulting anyone intentially to jerk
down the receiver and say, "Well,
what do you want ?" Such a per-
son need not be surprised If ne
hears the calm reply, "Not you,
thank you; please let me speak to
some other member of the office
force" Many business men suffer
financial loss because they lack
common courtesy in the use of the
telephone; many women could trace
the reason for their unpopularity to
occasions when they showed bad
temper at the telephone. The per-
son at the other end of the line was
not to blame because the cake
burned; it was not her fault that
Johnny broke a window or that the
butcher boy was late with the meat.
She called with good will in her
heart, but the greeting that she got
will leave permanent scar.
