 My impressions of Palestine are threefold As we went from Damas- GUS to the See of Galilee, to Nazareth, the childhood home of our Savior, to the Dead sea, the Jordan river, and on to Jerusalem, our Bible became a reality.
 I could not accept as authentic all we were told, yet when the spirit of skepticism came over us one would seem to hear the voice say: God is q spirit, not in this mountain, not in Jerusalem, but in the heart He found.

 The other impression is a search for God. Idols and superstitions. gifts to the Barnbeno Baby, and kissing the sacred stairs. The Mohamedan bows

ye would not. Behold, your home is left until you resolate."
 The most vivid among the thrills was the roll call of nations at the Baptist Worlds congress; Sunrise on the beautiful See of Gallilee; to stand before the original paintings, copies of which I knew as a child; bathing in Dutch suits in the North sea; grand opera in Paris; a boat ride on the Jordan.
 Deep feeling of reverence and awe came over us as we stood in the garden tomb of our Savior.
 In gathering shells l found a ring on Mount Carmel. That thrilled me.
 A letter from home. A new hat.
 More than one fright we had; but the resigned feeling in the ocean storm was peace compared to the fear I experienced when we came in sight of Vesuvius. The smoking, roaring, belching of red hot lava was not inviting to me. Turning to run, I called to Mn. billiard. This is no place for me. We must get away from here. I was confident not d man in the crowd could excel me in running.
