“ My Three Days in Gilead.”
Traveling is common to-day as com
pared with the traveling even of a de
cade ago, but it is, nevertheless, as fasci-
n; ting as ever, and the countries to be
M en, just as inviting as ever, and, indeed,
more so. There is one country, how
ever, that is the most interesting of all—
and that is Palestine. We think of the
Holy Land as we think of our Bible.
We imagine we would view its scenes
as we would a sacred painting, or traverse
its historic valleys and hills as we would
an ancient and imposing cathedral. So
:li>sely do we associate this land with the
. ivior that it is indeed sacred and holy—
itid most conducive, too, to the play of
" agination and religious fancy. There-
' te a traveler who has walked amidst
: ‘ ese scenes is most interesting. Our
fancy, even, plays about him, and we
bi»gin to imagine what grand scenes he
has beheld and upon what holy ground
hr has trod. "That man," we say to
ourselves, "has looked across the same
valleys that the Christ looked across when
He bade us consider the lilies there; he
I IS been to the well—this traveler has—
lere Christ sat and gave water of eter-
J life to the thirsty comers; he has been
the silent and lonesome Gethsemene;
ir. the dark tomb whence the Lord called
the dead Lazarus; and he has been
'H>on the clouded brow of Golgotha."
Whatever such a returned traveler
says or writes is thus welcome and inter-
•,ina. And, though we may have

A lady in a Southern town was
approached by her colored maid.
“Well Jenny,” she asked, seeing
that something was in the air.
“Please, Mis. Mary, might I have
the afternoon off, three weeks from
Wednesday?” Then noticing an
undecided look in her mistress’
face, she added hastily, “I wants to
go to my finance’s fun’ral.”
“Goodness me,” answered the
lady, your fiance's funeral! Why,
you don’t know that he’s even go
ing to die, let alone the date of his
funeral. That is something none of
us can be sure about—when we are
going to die.”
“Yes’m,” said the girl doubtfully.

ant manner and clear style of expression
in speech. And this ease and happy
naturalness is equally experienced by the
reader in this delightful little story of his
pilgrimage through the mountains of Gil
ead. It is the most interesting section of
Pilestine, and the most dangerous to
Msit. The author rivets your attention
lot only by depicting beautiful vistas of
craggy hills and ruined cities but by as-
?' ciating every scene with the great
prophets, warriors, and kings who have
l-Iiyed here, in ages gone by, their va-
. lus roles. "The hills over which man
\s alked are still here; the rocks that he
quarried, carved, polished, and fitted in
to place are here; the stone coffin in
which he lay down to his last resting-
’^ce is here—but where is he? Gone!
one forever! I am just above the gar-
!n; its rippling waters tell me of Abra-
im, of Jacob, of Joshua, of Saul, of
David, of Elijah, of Elisha, of Naaman,
ot John the Baptist, and of Jesus of
Nazareth. How sweet and musical is
the story! How impressive its truths!
It is all so beautiful! " And we feel with
the author that truly it is all impressive
and beautiful. A. C. H.
