Unable longer to endure the pressure of
this scene we moved on and into a garden
of olives, a garden which in the right sen-
sonlsfull of flowers, and here is the re-
puted tomb of Christ. You know the Book
says, “In the midst of the garden was
sepnlcher." I think this was the garden
and this the sepulcher. It is shattered of
course. About four steps down we went
into this. which seemed a family tomb.
There is room in it for about five bodies.
We measured it and found it about eight
feet high. and nine feet Wide and fourteen
feet long. The crypt where I think
our lord slept wus seven feet long
I think that there once lay the king
wrapped in his last slumber. On some
of these rocks the Roman government
set its seal. At the gate of this mausoleum
on the first Easter morning the angels
rolled the stone thundering down the bill.
Up these steps walked the loot-rated feet
of the conqueror, and from these heights
be looked oil upon the city that had east
him out, and upon the world he had come

to redeem. and at the heavens through,

But we must hasten back to the city.
There are stones in the wall which Solo
man had lifted. Stop here and see a start-
ling proof of the truth of prophecy. In
Jeremiah, thirty-first chapter and fortleth
verse, it is said that Jertmalem shall be
built through the ashes. What ashes,
people have been asking. \Vere those
tubes just put into the prophecy to fill up?
No! The meaning has been recently dis—
covered. Jernsuiem is now being built
out in :t certain direction where the ground
has been submitted to chemical analysis,
and it has been found to be the calla cat
out from the sacrifices of the ancient tern-
ple—thltes of wood and ashes of bones of
animals. There are great. mound-r of ashes,
accumulation of centuries of sacrifices. it

has taken all these thousands of years to .
discover what Jerununlr meant when her

said, “Behold the days shall come, saith
the Lord, that the city shall be built to the
Lord from the lower of llananeel unto the
gate of the corner. and the whole valley of
the dead bodies and of the ashes." The
people of Jerusalem are at this very time
fulfilling that prophecy. One handful of
that ashes on which they are building is
enough to prove the divinity of the Script.

more A HOUSETOP.

But i must get back to the housctop
where I stood early this morning, and be-
fore the sun sets, that I may catch a wider
vision of what the city now is and once
was. Standing here on the 110qu I
ace that the city was built for military
safety. Some old warrior, I warrant. so-
lcetcdtbc spot. It stands on a hill coco
feet-hove the level of the sea, and deep
ravines on three sides do the work of mili-
tary trenches. Compact as no other city
was compact. Only three miles journey
round, and the three ancient towers, Hip-
picns, Phaaaelus, Mariamne, frowning
death upon the approach of all enemies.

All lstood there on the bousctop in the
midst of the city I said, "O Lord, reveal to
Illa this metropolis of the world that 1 may
see it as it once appeared." No one was
with me, for there are some things you can
see more vividly with no one but God and
yourself present. Immediately the mosque
of Omar, which has stood for ages on
Mount Moriah, the site of the ancient tern-
pie, disappeared, and the most honored
structure of all the ages lifted itself in the
light. and I saw it—the temple, the ancient
temple! Not Solomon's temple. but some-
thing grander than that. Not Zernbbabel's
temple, but something more gorgeous than
that. It was Herod’s temple, built for the
one purpose of cclipsing all its architect-
ural predecessors.

There it stood, covering nineteen acres.
and ten thousand workmen had been forty-
six years in building it. Hinze of magnifi—
cence! Berrildering range of portions and
ten gateways and double arches and Cor-
inthian capitals chiseled into lilies and
acanthus. Masonry beveled and grooved
into such delicate lomr’s that it seemed to
tremble in the light. Cloisters with two
rows of Corinthian columns, royal arches,
marble steps pure as though made out of
frozen snow, carving that seemed like a
panel of the door of heaven let down and
s'et in, the facade of the building on shoul—
ders at each end lifting the glory higher
and higher. and walls wherein gold put
out the silver, and the carbonate put out
the gold. and the jasper ppt out the car-
buncle, until in the changing light they
would all seem to come back again into a
‘chorns of harmonious color. The temple!
The temple! Doxology in some? Anthems

 

soaring in rafters of lebanon cedar! From
side to side and from foundation to gilded
E pinnacle the frozen prayer of all ages?

! Till-L ”TV or Gull.

i From this hmrsetop ou the December af-
ternoon we look out in another direction,
and I see the king's palace, covering abun-
dred and sixty thousand square feet, three
rows of window: illumiuing the in‘
side brilliannr, the hallway Wirinscotcd
with all styles of colored marbles sur-
mounted by arubcsque, vermilion and
gold, looking down on mosaics, music of
waterfalls in the garden outside answering
l the music of the harps thrummed by deft
lingers inside; barristers over which princes
and princesses leaned, and talked to kings
and queens ascending the stairway. 0
Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Mountain city!
City of God! Joy of the whole earth!
Stronger than Gibraltar and Sebastopol,
surely it never could have been captured:

But while standing there on the house-
top that December afternoon I hear the
crash of the twenty-three mighty siege:
which have come against Jerusalem in the
ages past. Yonder is the pool of Hezekiah
and Siloam, but again and again were
those waters reddencd with human gore.
Yonder are the towers, lrilL again and again
they fell. Yonder are the high trails, but
again and again they were lr‘l’t'leil. To rob

A CBUSADE NEEDED NOW.

Another crusade is needed to start for
Jerusalem, a crusade in this Nineteenth
Century greater than all those of the past
centuries put together. A crusade in
which you and I will march. Acrosade
without weapons of death. but only the
sword of the Spirit. A crusade that will
make not a single wound. nor start one
tear of distress, nor incendiarize one home-
stead. A crusade of ('iospel Peace! And
the Cmsngain be lifted on Calvary, not
as once an instrument of pain, but. a signal
of invitation, and the mosque of Omar
shall give place to achurcb of Christ, and
Mount Zion become the dwelling place "not
of David, but of David's Lord, and Jerusa-
lem, purified of all its ldolutries, and tak-
ing back the Christ. she once cast out.
shall be made a worthy type of that. heav-
enly city which Paul styled "the mother of
us all," and which St. John saw, “the holy
Je lem descending out. of heaven from
God." Through its gates may we all en-
ter wh our work is done, and in its tem-
ple, ter than all the earthly temples
piled in one, may we worship.

Russian pilgrims lined all the roads
around the Jerusalem we visited last win-
ter. They had walked hundreds of miles,
and their feet blfll on the way to Jam
lem. Mnny of them had spent their last
fhrtbing to get there. and they had left
some of those who star-tut with them dy-
ing or dead by the roadside An aged wo-
man, exhausted with the long way, begged
her fellow pilgrims not to let. her die until
she had seen the Holy City. As she came
to the gate of the city she could not take
another step, but she was carried in. and
then said, “New hold my head up tllLI
can look upon Jerusalem," and her-bead
lifted, she took one look, and said: “Now
Idle content; Ihave seen it: I have seen
it!" Some of us before we reach the heaven-
1y Jerusalem may be as tired asthat, but
angels of mercy will help us in, and one
glimpse of the temple of God and the
Lamb, and one good look at the “king in
his beauty," will more than compensate
for all the toils and tears and heartbreaks
of the pilgrimage. Hallelujah! Amen!

Throwing the Slipper.

The ancient custom of throwing an old
slipper after the bride and bridegroom
when starting on their honeymoon tour
is, in many parts of the world, suppoacdto
bring luck to the happy pair. The Bible
gives much evidence in support of the sup-
position that it is one of the most ancient
as well us one of the most inexplicable of
the many customs of the Jews. In several
places in the llible we are given to under-
} stand that “the receiving of a shoelrr an
. evidence and symbolof rejecting or resign-
ing authority."

In Ruth w.- rrml that "it was the custom
in Israel concerning changing that a man
pluck all his shoe and deliver it to his
neighbor." Therefore the throwing of a
slipper or a shoe after it bride was and la a
symbol or renunciation of dominion and
authority over her bv her parents or guard-
ian,aud the receipt of the shoe by the
bridegroom. own if accidental, was an
omen that the authority had been trans-
ferred to hi).

The origin of the custom may be traced
to these words, which occur in the 108th
Psalm, "Over Edom will I cast out my
shoe," meaning thereby that whee“.
should atu-nd the methods used to subdue
the atomizer. It. is not unlikely, there-
fore, that the superstitious custom of
tlrrotvingtlrc slipper has arisen from the
abort- construction of the words given.
The custom as it originally existed ls fast
dying out. Our forefathers threw old
shoes after the wedding equipage. We in
this more luxurious age purchase new
white satin slippers on purpose for the oc-
casion. wSt. Louis Republic.
