Bnoontrii. Sept. fl—In the Brooklyn
Academy of Music today Dr. Tulip-coho
arteries of sermons on his recent jour-
ney to the Holy Land. The subject of to
day's sermon was, “My First Day in Pelee
tine." After appropriate passages of Bay'ipt‘
use were mu! the congregation snug th
great spirit:
We praise their, 0 God, for the Son of thy lam
for Jesus who died and is now gone above.
The text was 1 Kings x, 1: “The half
was not told me."
This is the first sermon in a course of
Sabbath morning sermons on “My Recent
Journey Through the Holy Land and
Neighboring Countries: Whntl Saw and
What] Learned." Out of the sixty-four
millions of our present American popula-
tion and the millions of our past only
about five thousand have ever visited the
Holy Land. Of all those who cross to Eu
rope less than live per cent. ever get as far
as Rome, and less than two per cent. ever
got to Athens, and less than nqunrter of
one per cent. ever get to Palestine. Of the
less than a quarter of one per cent. who do
goto the Holy Land some see nothing but
the noxious insects and the filth of the Orl.
cntalcities, and come back wishing they
hndnever gone. Of those who see much
of interest and come home nulyu small
portion can tell what they have seen; the
tongue unable to report the eye. The
rarity of a successful, intelligent and
happy joiirncythrough the Holy Land is
very marked. But. the lime approaches
when a journey to Palestine will be com-
mon. Thousand-i will go where now there
are scores. Two locomotives were recently
sent up from Joppn to Jerusalem and rail—
roads are about to begin in Palestine, and
the day will come when the cry will be:
“All out. for Jerusalem!" “Twenty min—
utes for breakfast at Tiberius!" “Change
cars for Tyre!" ”Grand Trunk Junction
for Nineveh!" “All out for Damascus!"
Meanwhile the wet looks of the Atlantic
ocean and Adriatic and Mediterranean
unsure being sham, and not. only is the
voyage shortened, but. after a while, with.
out crossing the ocean, you and your chil<
dren will visit the Holy Land. A com-
pany of capitalists have gone up to Behring
straits, where the American and Asiatic
continents come within thirty—six miles of
meeting. These capitalists, or others, will
build a bridge across these straits, for mid
wnyarcthree islands called “The [home-
lies," and the water is not deep, and is
never disturbed with icebergs. Trains of
cars will run from America across that
bridge and on down through Siberia,
bringing under more immedintoobaervu-
tion the Russian outrages against exiles,
and consequently abolishing them; and
there are persons here today who, without
one qunim of seasickncss, will visit. that
wonderful land where the Christiike. Abru-
hamic, Mosaic, Davidic, .54 demonic and
Herodic histories overlap each other with
snob power that by the time i took my
feet out of the stirrups at the close of the
journey i felt so wrung out. with emotion
that it seemed nothing else could over air
sorb my feelings again.
"Titian slum. iii: so item; stat."
The chief hindrance for going to Pales-
tine with many is the dreadful sea, and
though i have crossed it ten times it. is
more dreadful every time. and 1 fully sym-
pathize with what was said one night when
Mr. Beecher and i went. over to speak in
New York at the anniversary of the Scoo
men's Friend society,nnd the clergyman
making the opening prayer quoted from
St. John: "There shall be no more sea."
and Mr. Beecher, seated beside me, in
memory of a recent ocean voyage, said,
“Amen,i nmgind of that.” By the par-
tial abolition of the Atlantic ocean and the
putting down of rail tracks across every
country in all the world the most sacred
land on earth will come under the observa-
tiod of so many people, who will he rarely
to tell of what; they saw, that infidelity
will be pronounced only another form of
insanity, for no honest man can visit the
Holy Land and remain an infidel.

I asked the question, “Has the sultan of
Turkey ever been here?” Answer, “No."
"Whydon't be come when it. belongs to
his dominion?" And after the man inter-
rogated looked this way and that, so as to
know he would not be reported, the tin-
swer would invariably be, “He dare not
come." i believed it. if the sultan of
Turkey attempted to visit Jerusalem he
would never get back again. All Pale-s-
tine hates him. i saw him go to the
mosque for prayers in his own city of ('on-
smutinopiv, and saw seven thousand armed
men riding out to protect him. Expensive
prayers! (if cotirsethnt government wants -
no better harbor at Joppn. May God rev
move that curse of nations, that old hat; of
the centuries—the Turkish government!
For its everlasting insult to God and
woman let it perish! And so these rocks
at the harbor remain the jaws of repeated
destruction.
Vim) MEMORIES or Jorm.
As we descended the narrow steps at the
side of the ship we heard the clamor and
quarrel and swearing of fifteen or sixteen
difierent races of men of all features and
colors and all vernacuiars; all different in
appearance, but till alike in desire to get
our baggage and ourselves at exhorbitunt
prices Twenty boats and only ten passen-
gers to go ashore. The titan having charge
of its pushes aside some, and strikes with
a heavy stick others, and by violences that
would not be tolerated in oitr country, but.
which seem to he the only manner of mak-
ing any impression there, clears our way
into one of the boats which heads forsbore.
We are within fifteen minutcoof the Christ

During the last war there were in Vir-
ginia some sixty or seventy wounded sol-
diers in a burn, on the second iioor,so near
the roof that the heat of the August sun
was almost insupimrtabie. The men were
dying from sheer exhaustion and summa-
tion. A distinguished member of the
Christian commission said to the nurse
who stood there, “Wash the faces and the
feet of these men and it will revive them."
“No,” said the nurse, “I didn't come into
the army to wash nnybody's feet.”
the commission, “bring me water and a
towel; I will be very glad to wash their
feet." One was the spirit of the devil, the
other the spirit of Christ.
PETEu's vision or; run iiouss tor.
But reference to Peter reminds me that
we must go to the hou. top in Joppa
where he was taught the gmmmey of re
ligion. That was about the queerest thing
that ever happened. On our way to that
house top we past-ted an old well where the
great stories were worn deep with the ropes
of the buckets, and it must be a well many
centuries old, and i think Peter drank out.
of it. Four or five gout or calf skins filled

got up the. steps and on the house top. It
was in such a. place in Joppa that Peter,
one noon while he was waiting for dinner,
had a hunger fit anti fainter] away, and had
a vision or dream or trance. 1 said to my
friends on that house top, “Listen while i
read about what happened here." And
opening: the Bible we had the whole story.
it seems that Peter on the house top
dreamed that a great blanket was let down
out of llcfli’t‘fl, and in it were sheep and
goats and cattle and mules and pigeons
and buzzards and snakes and all manner
a voice told him as he was hungry to eat,
and he said, “i cannot eat things unclean."
Three times he dreamed it There was
then heard :i knot-king at the gate of the
house on the top of which Peter lay in a
trance. and three men asked. "is Peter
here?" Peter, while yet. wondering what
hisiiremyi meant, demuds the stairs and
meets these st rangers a: the gate, and they
tell him that a good man by the name of
9 Cornelius, in the city of i'zesarea, has also
' had a dream. and has sent them for Peter.
and to will him to come and preach. At
that call Peter left Joppa for Cecsama. The
dream he hurl just. had prepared him to
preach, for Peter learned by it to reject no
people mi unclean, and whereas be pre-
viously thought he must preach only to
the Jews, now he goes to preach to the
Gentiles, who were coriside ~d tint-lean.

Pliny, the historian, records tint tho abl-

hide a foot and a half thick, was brought
from Joppn to Rome.
The event recorded in the book of Jonah
has occurred a thousand times. The Lord
always has a whale outside the harbor for
a man who starts in the wrong direction.
Recrnnnt Jonah! I do not wonder that
even the whale was sick of him. This
prophet was put in the Bible, not. usnn ex-
ample, but as a warning because the world
not only needs lighthouses, but 'buoys,
to show where the rocks are. The Bible
story of him ends by showing the prophet
in a fit of the aulks. lie was mad because
Nineveh was not destroyed, and then he
went out to pout, and sat under a big leaf,
using it. for shade from the tropical sun,
and when a worm disturbed that leaf, and
it withered and the sun smote Jonah, he
flew into a great rage and said, “It is better
for me to die than to live.” A prophet in
a rage because he had lost his umbrella!
