It carries the uiiud across the chasm of ceuturies aud recalls the eovenaut made by God with Abraham. The sight is a pathetic one which would touch a heart of stone, for it ia oue bom of love, sorrow aud religion. When Abraham was a stranger and a sojourner among the sous of Heth, the shadow of a great sorrow fell upon him iu the death of Sarah. With money which was current with the merchant, be purchased the cave of Machpelah aud buried therein the body of his wife. After wards he was placed by ber side. Isaac aud Kebecca followed. Y ears later the mummy of Jacob was brought up from Egypt to sleep withhisaucestors. By bis side Leah was laid. (His beloved Kacbael sleeps ou the highway near Bethle hem). When Abraham, "the friend of God," had finished his course his body was laid to rest iu Machpelah by his sous Isaac and Ishmael, who not only loved their father but ap peared to cherish for each other a brotherly love. But, in the process of after ages, the descendants of Ishmael embraced a new religion, founded upon hate, aud which was iu tho nature of a protect against that of the Jews. This religion they planted in Canaan by the power of the sword, and they also possessed themselves of the promised laud itself. Into their possession passed the cave of Machpelah. Around it was erected a stone wall fifty feet high, aud within the wall aud over the cave was erected a mosque which was dedicated to Mohammed. The fanatical Moslems reverence the tomb of Abraham as a most holy shrine, and tbey allow no Jew to enter the sacred iuclosure under peualty of instant death. But around the inclosiug wall the chil dren of Isaac assemble, read their scriptures and wail over their un happy lot. no great is their love for their great patriarchal ances tor, that they eagerly put their hands through a small hole iu the wall in order that tbey may feel the air withiu. Their hamiliatiou is complete aud their lamentation is in the nature of a religious ser vice. In the powerlessness of death Abraham can give no help to a pos terity who have rejected the prom ised Messiah. Mills of Fate Qriod Strange Or 1st. The treatment and sad lot of the Jews of Palestine auggost some luestions regarding the covenant that the seed of Abraham should possess the land of Canaan. Did it embrace all of his seed or only those through Isaad If Jsliraael was not witliiu the promise, why are his descendants iu possession of the Holy Land aud so cruelly mistreat ing the posterity of Isaad If the desceudauts of Isaac have forfeited their rights under the covenant, theu why should the land be under a worse peoplef But thoee matters I leave to the preachers. 1 he sor rowful wail of the Jews at Hebron shows further that Fortune some times puts the "bottom rail on top." W hen Sarah bad attained that age when bope of offspring was aban doned, she still sought to remove the reproach of barrenness as far as possible. To that end she licensed Abraham to obtain ber children by her Egyptiau handmaid. But, as soon as her hopes were about to be realized, the very natural feeling of a wife asserted itself, and she no longer treated Ijugar with kind ness. And after Sarah was mirac ulously blessed with a baby boy, iu her old age, she one day caught the rude little Ishmael mocking her beloved Isaac. That was more than devoted mother could tolerate, and she made. Abraham send Ish mael and liagar away luto the wil derness of Heerxheba. Starvation and death were about to claim the little ontcast, but God heard bis cry, blessed htra and promisea to make of him a great nation. l bat promise has been fulfilled, as.the cities and countries of northern Africa and western Asia fully at test great In numbers, great in war and great in the propagation of a powerful, albeit a pernicious, religion. Ho intense was Sarah's dislike for the little progenitor of the modern Arabs, that she plainly told her husband that Ishmael should not be heir with ber dear little Isaac. But the mills of Fate prind out stratum rrist. Today the descendants of Ishmael are ia pos- ot a session of Sarah's and Isaac's tomb, and will not even allow their pos terity to approach the cave which contains their aab.es without a for feiture of life. Christians, like the Jews, are not allowed to enter the enclosure. On account of this aud other reasous, very few tourists to the Holy I-and vUit Hebron. It is eighteen miles from Jerusalem, has no hotel aud ut accommodations. The town is dirty aud the iwile fiithv. The town's chief intent is its pant Cities that Are More Interesting. Nearly midway betweeu Hebron and Jerusalem lies Bethlehem. Its population is t-hriMiau. The peo ple are of lighter complexion than the other natives and are descend aula of the Crusaders. They are cleaner, more euergetic aud more prosperous than the Mohamme dans. They are eugaged mainly iu the luauufat-ture of curious aud beautiful articles iu olive wood, coral and mother of pearl. It uiust do the heart of old "Santa Claus ' good to visit Bethlehem, for there he cau find teu thousand things that will tickle the little folks aud grwu people, too. Many interest nig uumes aud events are connect ed with the little city, but the great est lulerest ceuters in the place where Christ was Iku u. Over the cave stands the church of the nativ ity, and a (light of steps lead down into the chapel of the uativ ity. It is lighted by thirty -two lamps which bum night and day. A small garrisou of soldiers is s'a tioned nearby, and one is on guard all tho time. The reason for the presence of these armed men I will expluiu at another time. The spot where the .Savior of mankind was horn is marked by a large silver star iu the center of a white marble slab. Inscribed on it iu Litin are these words: "Hinle Vlrginie Mitris Jesus Christus uuUih est." ( Here Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary ). The umuger where in he was laid was moved to Koine years ago aud placed in the church of Santa Maria Maggioie. There is a substituted manger where the original was. The walls of the cave are decorated with beautiful tapes try, pictures and other ornaments betitting the birthplace of a God. One instinctively feels that one is ou hallowed ground, for the very place itself suggests that something wonderful once occurred there. But, iiiiiiiestional)ly, Jerusalem is the most interesting place iu the Holy Land. In its associations it is the most sacred place on earth. It is dear alike to the Jew, the Christian and the Mohammedan. It is the religious center of the world. The holy city has passed through many vicissitudes. It has been partially destroyed more than thirty times, totally destroyed five times, and razed to tho ground twice. Hadrian once plowed it up and sowed it down with salt as a mark of his contempt for the reli ginus of the Jew and the christians. Wheu Christ, from the Mouut of Olives, beheld the beautiful city Mow him and wept, be nttered that memorable prediction (Luke iix:4:l4) which wns literally ful filled some thirty years later when Tit us, the Ivoinan general, utterly destroyed the temple and the whole city, uot leaving one stone upon another. Iu commemoration ol the event the Arch of Titus was erected in Koine, aud among the many pic tures carved on the arch may be seen one of the sevou golden caudle-sticks. After each destruction of Jerusa lem, those who rebuilt again, in stead of removing the dkhkih, would simply level it over and build on the ruins. Today the pavement ol the streets in some places is uinety feet abovo the original foundations. Solomon a High Roller. The fine stones which Solomou put iu his temple, his owu mansiou and iu the other structures with which he beautified the city, lie buried many feet lieucath the present city. The stones for the temple were made ready before being brought to the site, aud neither hammer nor axe nor any iron tool was heard while the temple was in building 1 1. Kings iu). Cent uries later, wheu the stones could not be seen and no quarry found, people began to doubt w hat the Bible said on the subject. But, like many other scriptural statements, verification was accidental. An American gen tlemau was one day strolling about Galgotha and the "tombs of the binits," when his dog jumped rabbit. Molly cotton tail made straight for the city and disappear ed iu a small hole uuder the wall near the Damascus gate. The dog disappeared, too. The owner called his dog but it was gone. At the small hole he called loudly for his faithful canine, but no response. He procured a tool and began dig giug and soon discovered the month vast cavern. With lighted candles he sought his dog.

He then took his seat iu a place called the "Pavement" (John 10:13), and finally delivered Christ over to be crucified.

Ofleu at the close of the day, after what must have U-cu tiresome discussions, he retired to the quiet village on the eosteru slope of the Mount of Olives. Iu Bethany he sought rest from the strife of Jerusalem, and there per formed some of his miraculous works and delivered many lessons of divine love aud wisdom.

The depth and peculiar structure of the tomb show the appropriate ness of Christ's words when, with a loud voice, he ordered La.:trus to "come forth." Between Bethany and Jerusalem ia the Mount of Olives, upon which Jesus spoke the wonderful words of life recorded in 24th and 25th chapters of St. Matthew.
