The sight is a pathe tic one which would touch a heart of stone, for it is one born of love, sorrow and religion.

When Abraham, "the friend of God." had finished his course his body was laid to rest in Machpelah by his sons Isaac and Ishmael, who not only loved their father but appeared to cherish for each other a brother- j jy love. But, in the process of after ages, the descendants of Ishmael embraced anew religion founded upon hate, and which was in the nature of a protest against that of the Jews. This leligionthey planted in Canaan by the power of the sword, and they also possessed themselves of the promised land itself.

He found that the cave reached 1,000 feet under the city and was a quarry from which had been taken an enormous quantity of stones answering the description of those used by Solomon. The signs of the picks, the places for the earthen lamps, and unfinished stones may stili be seen. In this underground quarry large numbers of men worked for years, shut out from the light of day. Solomon did ihings on a grand scale. He sent 30,000 men from their fami lies to Lebanon: 10,000 each month; he had 70,000 "that bore burdens," 80,000 "hewers," and 3,300 overseers (I.

But around the inclosing wall the children of Isaac assemble, read their script ures and wail over their unhappy nected with the little city, but the greatest interest centers in the place where Christ was bcra. Over the cave stands the church of the nativity, and a flight of steps lead down into the chapel of the nativity. It is lighted by thirty-two lamps which burn night and day. A small garrison of soldiers is stationed nearby, and one is on guard all the time. The reason for the presence of these armed men I will explain at another time. The spot where the Savior of mankind was born is mai'ked by a large silver star in the center of a white marble slab. Inscrib ed on it in Latin are thes words: "Hie de Virginie Maria Jesua Christus natus est." (Here Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary) . The manger wherein he was laid was moved to Rome years ago and placed in the church of Santa Maria Mag giore. There is a substituted manger where the original was. The walls of the cave are deco rated with beautiful tapestry, pictures and other ornaments befitting the birth place of a God.

It is dear alike to the Jew, the Christian and the Mo hammedan. It is the religious center of the world. The holy city has passed through many vicissitudes. It has been parti ally destroyed more than thirty times, totally destroyed five times, and razed to the ground twice. Hadrian once plowed it up and sowed it down with salt as a mark of his contempt for the religions of the Jews and the Christians. When Christ from the Mount of Olives, beheld the beautiful city below him and wept, he uttered that memorable prediction (Luke xix:43-4) which was literally fulfilled some thirty years later when Titus the Roman general, utterly de stroyed the temple and the whole city, not leaving one stone upon another. In commemoration of the event the Arch of Titus was erected in Rome, and among the many pictures carved on the arch may be seen one of the golden candlesticks. After each destruction of Je rusalem, those who rebuilt again, instead of removing the debris, would simply level it over and build on the ruins. Today the pavement of the streets in some places is ninety feet above the original foundations. The fine stones which Solomoi put in his temple, his own man sion and in the other structures with which he beautified the city lie buried many feet beneath the present city, The stones for the temple were made ready before being brought to the site, and neither hammer nor axe nor any iron tool was heard while the temple was in building (I. Kings vi:7). Centuries later, when the stones could not be seen and no quarry found, people began to doubt what the Bible said on the subject. But, like many other scriptural statements, verifica tion was accidental. An Ameri can gentleman was one day strolling about Galgotha and the "tombs of the Kings," when his dog jumped a rabbit. Molly cotton tail made straight for the city and disappeared in a small hole under the wall near the Damascus gate. The dog disap peared, too. The owner called his dog but it was gone. At the small hole he called loudly for his faithful canine, but no re sponse. He procured a tool and the penalty i man knew as blasphemy i ed to execute ings against wine the old fellow chief prints, must have experienced its pangs j crafty eld by He kept at peace with other na- j ed their ;r.i tions by marrying a daughter of I the charge oi Pharaoh and the daughter of son and sedi every other fellow who was like ly to give him trouble. He rather overdid the marrying act. He took unto himself 700 wives and 300 quasi-wives. Even with that number, the old sinner had his own brother murdered be cause he asked for the beautiful Shunammite girl as a wife (I. Kings ii:13-25). Solomon had more sense generally than the balance of us, but he was a mighty big fool about women. It must have been a rare sight to see him out shopping with his wives. No doubt it required the exercise of all his wisdom to keep down suspicion ot partiality in the purchase of Easter hats. His wives got the better of him at last and accomplished his un doing. All in all he was a pretty tough citizen and the Bible writers do not shield him. After his death his subjects demanded j the day of of Rehoboam a change of policy, than 1,500 ; and upon his refusal to lighten their burdens the ten tribes se ceded from the confederation. Those places in and around Jerusalem which are associated with the life and death of Jesus Christ are the most interesting of them all. - The great Temple in which he debated and routed the Scribes and Pharisees is en tirely gone. Over its site is the Mosque of Omar, and within the mosque is the bare rock upon which Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac. Some little "red tape" and fees are required to enter, and shoes must be remov ed or large slippers put on over your shoes. It was about this spot that Jesus taught and con founded those who were such sticklers for the letter of the law and the traditions of the elders. Often at the close of the day, after what must have been tire some discussions, he retired to the quiet village on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives. In Bethany he sought rest from the strife of Jerusalem, and there performed some of hisN:" tile ie court sat at j j to Jewish law.

Upon it he passed many a night in iest and prayer (Luke xxi:37) and from its sum-.week's Bulletin mit he ascended to heaven (Acts i:9 and 12) after his resurrection.
