BANK • • • SKI Jj • • • IN FABMVUXE Grader Od Local T Describes 1 - ‘ i Sunday morning at the Presbyteri an Sunday School, Maurice Hodge of Corbin, Ky., discussed his travels in Palestine during the war. Mr. Hodge is a government tobacco grader on the Farmville market this year. He was introduced by C. F. Baucom. Opening the talk, Mr. Hodge re marked that he would not talk about the political situation in the Holy Land because few people know much about national politics and “I will not say much about the modern side.” “The Jews have. modernized to a great degree,” he added, giving as some examples the irrigation projects in the Jordan valley where fruit as fine as any in the world is raised, and the community farms which are ex amples to the rest of the world. The mountains of Judea in many sections have not changed much since Christ was there. The same camel caravans go out across the desert at night. Intense heat in the daytime niMTrnnfo trotral Mncf the people are still shepherds and farmers. A plow used 5,000 years a go was found in a tomb in Egypt and is identical to those still used in the cultivation of the soil. Very little is known about the country from the time Titus destroy ed Jerusalem, in 70 A. D., until Con stantine became emperor. As a Christian, Constantine recognized the religious significance of the coun try and the Catholic church has built shrines at each of the important places. One of these shrines is the Church of the Nativity, Bethlehem. Mr. Hodge pointed out that water is very scarce in Palestine and that towns have been established close to sources of water. Bethlehem, the home of David, stands high on a ridge in the moun tainous section. Going down the sides toward the valley are terraces which are built like pockets and have caught dirt for a thousand to two thousand years. Figs and olive groves are cultivated. In the fall grain is planted and shepherds graze their flocks in the winter. A farm of four acres is considered quite a plantation and a spot of ground as large as average living room is considered a large field. Until he visited Palestine, the speaker stated that he had always thought of the wilderness of Judea as being a tangle of growth. Instead it is a barren, rocky and mountainous section. In Bethlehem, on the spot where Christ was bom (or is believed to have been bom), the Catholics con structed the Church of the Nativity in 330 A. D. When the Persians over ran the country, they destroyed all the churches except this one. The reason for its being left was that on the wall was a mosiac picture of the three wise men, in garments that looked much like the garb of, the Persians. The invaders decided that the wise men must be people of their nation and left the building intact. Walls of the church are built of solid rock and are four or five feet thick. Windows are now covered, the door is boarded up except for a space large enough for a person to crawl through and boards may be lifted to view the mosiac patterns on the floor. When the Crusaders came, they built a marble manger to replace thee wood en one which they knew would even tually rot. Jerusalem, the center of Christ’s work, is the only modem inland city in Palestine. Still walled in, the old city \fras destroyed but has been re built. Seven gates are in use. One, the gate facing the Garden of Geth semane, has been closed for years. Called the Golden gate, it is believed it will be opened when Christ re turns. Shops are about the t size of an American pantry and many haye been in the same family for two thousand years. When the father dies, it is passed to the oldest son and then to his oldest son, and so on down the line. The little, narrow streets can be stepped across. Two people can walk down them or a donkey may travel them. Via Dolo raza, where Christ carried the cross, is a gloomy place, from Which the sun is almost wholly excluded. On the journey down this street, Christ stopped seven times to rest and at each of these stopping points the Catholics have constructed churches known as the Seven Stations of the Cross. For hundreds of years the Catholics Were the only group of which there are records in -Palestine. The Pool of Bethesda, which is connected with the lame man in the Bible, is the most peculiar pool in the world. It is never dry, but it does not tun ail the time. The water seeps down to a low ebb and then rushes in and fills up again. It must have been at time time of the rushing in, that those who wished to be heal obacco Market ravels In Palestine Mayor Jim Joyner Brings Farmville Outstanding Honor Mayor J. W.
