Po? ell On This Thursday evening in Je rusalem there were many groups of worshipped walking about the city and the Mount of Olive- hoping to cros at least one of the paths of ihe Master on the evening of His great testing. As we cro>.-*ed the KYook ("e*!ron and passed the Garden of <ieth*emanc we could not keep the t ars baek as we remembered that it was near that spot that he prayed for strength. "And being in agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as <t were gieat drops of blood falling down to the ground." Massing on. our party gathered on the Mount of Olives overlooking Jerusalem. At this sacred spot we worshipped a train in the open as He so often did. From our place of worship we eould see the < lectric lights of the city and hear the sound of motor cars, which was so unlike what Hi heard during His ev ening- alone upon the mountain. As we sank together "Thc?u .My Everlast ing Portion," "Where He leads me I Will Follow." and "In the Garden" the noise of the city was lost to our minds as we imaginid ourselve* liv ing i.i part at least more than nine teen hundred years ago. The following morning the writer had an early morning walk with a fiiend to scc the sunrise. We saw the sh pherds with their flocks leaving for the day on the hills. Others we saw milking their goats with their customers standing by with the cups and buckets in which they were to receive their milk for the day. At some distance we saw a boy coming with a loaded camel. As we returned we found the boy unloading the cam cl. The camel is a very obedient ser vant. as was illustrated by this one. Tli boy asked him to kneel, which he did. As he was kneeling there the boy loosened the ropes that were holding several hundrul pounds of rock, which was cut into pieces weigh ins: from fifty to a hundred pounds or more. - Later in the morning we went through the city to the Church of The Holy .Sepulchre. We were crowded out of th church at this time, but re turned later during the following week. We will give an account of the \isit in this chapter, however. The Chrch of The Holy Sepulchre is j the most popular place in Jerusalem during Passion Week, or perhaps during any week. It is a Catholic church, ami contains chapels repre senting many sacred spots and per sons. Upon entering the church you 1 . Tt< 1 s? long marble slab, which i - said to be the one on which the liody of Christ was placed for preparation for the tomb. This slab L called the Stone of Cnctio.;. and has been kissed by millions of worshippers. While on*, may not see in it any act of worship, it is worth something to a Christian to see the rev-, rence with which they approach the supposed acred spot. Quoting from "Cook's Travelers* Handbook Palestine and Syria" we find the following refer ence to f'e marbl. slab: "The present stone, which is not the traditional one. was placed in its position in 1X80; it is surrounded by numerous lamps, and enormous candelabra hang above it. It is the property of tl.e Latins, bt Armenians, Orthodo::. and Copts are also entitled to burn tiieii lamps over the -tone." The Church of the Holy Sepulchre off< rs to the traveller more supposed sec red spots than any other organi zation. Our party was awed that few, if any of them, were to be con sidered seriously, Following a;*e .vmo of the sacred spots "gathered'* under the roof of this church: The place of thf crucifixion; the spot on which Mary, t'le Mother of Jesus stood; the I Stone of Unction, already mentioned; the Holy Sepulchre: the spot maiking .the geographical center ?f the world; the spot wh.re the three crosses were found; the place where the dirst was secured to form Adam, and many i others too numerous to mention. We agreed with our guide when he ?juot ?.?d some one as saying. "There is not! a place in all the world where one finds more superstition and ignorance j than within the walls of the Chrch of the Holy Sepulchre." When one sees a bust of th Virgin Mary, on which ha* been placed millions of dol lars in jewels from all peoples and nations, that one is sure to agree with the above conviction. This display of jewels representing millions is to be found in this church. How unlike St, Peter who said, "Silver and gold I hav? none: but such as I have gi'*e I thee; In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk." From thi~* church we passed thru St. Stephen's Gate enroutc to Gor don's Calvary and the Garden Tomb. Jerusalem will be discussed more ful ly ir some following chapter?. We are now leaving Jerusalem for a ' visit to the "little town of Bethlehem. I the birthplace of the Lord Jesus. I (To be continued.) Telling Santa What to Bring Student Teachers Doing Good Work at Ebenezer Th< school ai Kbenezer is pr^rens ing very nicely under the supervis ion <?'" Mis- Kthel Davis and .Mrs. He-en Waldroup, two Teacher Train ing student. Mayde Docfc ry and Mat tie Palmer, are doing their rural prac tice teaching in this school.
