African Soldiers
Visit Holy City

LAGOS, WEST AFRICA-(ANP)
Perhaps it is through some strange
fate that West African soldiers are
given the opportunity to visit
the middle east and witness for
themselves sights in the Holy City,
Jerusalem
According to recent reports spe-
cial camp has been pitched just
outside Jerusalem on the way to
Bethlehem for the sole accommo-
dalton of these soldiers who ocme
to the Holy City on leave. Special
guides are assigned to conduct
the men in parties and explain to
them various points of interest.
These guides, narrating the sto-
ries which surround the ancient
churches, other buildings and
events, make real the facts which
the soldiers early CLEANED from
Bible history.
Among the interesting points of
detail are church erected by Con-
Stantine the Great, first Christian
emperor of Rome; stables which
are reputed to date back to the
time of Jesus of Nazareth. the
Garden Of Gethsemane where
Jesus is said to have administered
the sacrament of the last supper
the much dicllssed Mt. of Olives,
the famed dome of the rock which
is said to be built over the rock on
which Abraham prepared to sacri-
flee Isaac, the site of Solomon's
temple.
Guides explain that they follow
the same course which Jesus chose
to carry His cross, and which in
cludes walks to Mt. Zion, the City
of Davis and the tombs of the
kings.

Mr. Stokes persisted, asking
whether it would be totally mac

Both the United States and Rus
