— CITY OF THE GREAT KING By REV DR. JAMES W. LEE, Pastor Trinity Methodist Church N O one can ever forget the moment when, for the flret time, ho beholds - the walls and towers and minaret* Jerusalem. The feeling* called up by * vision of the Holy City can not be ipresaed in words. A prince, who I ** afterwards king of Auatrla, upon rrtvJng within 100 yards of the Jaffa Ite, asked the driver of hie carriage to fop. When the door was opened, he •me forth and upon hi* knee* made |l way Into the city of David. Some fc'h Impulse seizes every one, of depth [ feeling, when arriving before the tile of that sacred center of rellg- a BeiatjHo above all other cltfe* on irth, Jerusalem stands for the relit* mis element In human nature. Hun has always felt that he was mre than the beasts that perleh, and 6rusalem Is the perpetual witness to lie intensity of this feeling. Inland, ft'-d up. rock-bound and rock-under- Irncd. Jerusalem, by all the pinnacle* hu* have pierced the heaven* from itr temples, churches, mosques; by I! the wars that have raged around m devoted ‘ Inhabitants; by all the >|ood that ho* reddened her etreeta, md by nil the prayers and hymns from he love of her saints, has perpetually olred man's undying belief In Ood, nd the necessity he wa* under to love tnd serve Him. No city haa been «o >ften pillaged. So often demolished; yet hr smoke had hardly ceased to go p from her flre-awept ruins before er people began to replace her pal- res and to rebuild her walla. By uma, the nations surrounding her •me up and emptied upon her devoted rad nil the resources of relentless orv. but amid It all and In spite of all, thl* city of the conscience con tinued to weep and wall and alng songs and wrtto prophecy and offer sacri fices. Her sufferings have made her great and have turned the very stone* of her streets Into objects of affec tion. For thousands of year* human Ups have been wearing away the etonee of Jerusalem with their kisses. Jerusalem Is a small city, and has never been largo, but ft ma had more Influence upon the thought und senti ment and conduct of the human race than any other. Jerusalem hn« never had any commercial Importance. Its only trade consists of the symbols and Objects of affection* such as mother-of- pearl croeses, and carvings of the Sa vior's face; flowers Croat the Holy Fields ovtr whore »< res walked the blessed feet nailed for our advantage on the hitter cross; olive-wood stamps and paper weights, and DfotifK - of S laces connected with the Savior's Ktfs, trosaltm Is on unworldly city and ministers to the lofty and holy In man, and stands for the eternal In human nature. Jerusalem Is the only city on earth where every kind of money Is current—Greek money, French money, Italian money. German money, American money, Egyptian money, Hindoo money, ana every other sort of money Is good, for to the city of David the tribes of all the earth continue to go up; there they all find welcome. Jerusalem Is »»-'■ .-itv of mun, and enjoys the dis tinction of being the only city the Son f Man ever wept over. The walls sur rounding the city contain 40 feet of human history. For 4,000 years, Jeru salem has been the altar, the confes sional, the mourners' bench Of the hu man race. This 1ms been the place where human nature has meditated. repented and aspired; here the Infinite, the undying ana spiritual in inan have expressed them*elve* In the melody of *ong and the Importunity of ceaseless prayer; here the currents which drift toward God In human nature have come to shore; heie their swell and sweep have lifted themselves Into the psalms of David, the prophecies of Isa iah and the wallings of Jeremiah. The place has an Infinite charm for poor, brnpted, frail humanity, because here Is the spot where One of our own flesh and blood first conquered the world, the flesh and the devil; here virtue and honor and purity and holi ness and tenderness and pity and sym pathy and charity were enthroned and Invested with the prestige that conies from succeeding. They failed at Athens In Hocrates, hut they triumphed In Jerusalem In J*aua Christ. Human na ture was dignified and ennobled by the success of Christ at Jerusalem. He showed what man can be and do. Jerusalem Is Many Cities, Built One Upon Another. There Is the Jerusalem of Melchlze- dek, living In his devotion, standing serene and beautiful above the storms and clouds and ' hanging fortunes of time. There la the Jerusalem of the Jebualtes, anchored forever to the threshing floor of Araunah. There Is the Jerusalem of David, with Its pal aces in song, Its trees In song. Its Mount of Olives In song, perpetually holding Its place in the unending pulsa tions of divine music, refreshing the ear and charming the hearts of the saints of all ages. There Is the Jerusa lem of Solomon, with Its temple cov- REV. DR. JAME8 W. LEE. ered with gold, gleaming under sun of the deep Syrian sky throughout all time. There Is the Jerusalem of Nehe- mlah, built with a weapon of warfare In one hand, and an Implement of In dustry In the other, appealing to the strenuous of all ages. There Is the Jerusalem of Isaiah, breathing In prophecy nnd falling In tears, but ris ing In aspirations jhat are never to pass nway. There is the Jerusalem of Jeremiah, changing ^Ith the fader.**-.- *f hi- -ad and mournful poem, but eternal!) f.\**d In the walling and the tears of the prophet that God raised up to tell His native city of her sins. There Is the Jerusalem of our Saviour, with Its temple. Its palace of Herod, Its Garden of Gethsernane and its Mount Calvary, permanent in the New Testament Scriptures. There Is the Jerusalem of Titus, with Its raging fire and moulder ing ruins still burning and smoking In the glowing periods of the historian Josephus. And then there Is the Jeru salem of the crusaders, with its songs and gallant knights living " today In Tasso’s verse, and loved today ad In the time of Peter the Hermit. .11. i - , • If we are to have any rational con ception of universal h!*tory, f we must study It from Jerusalem. Condorcet said that* had Xerxes been .Victorious at Salamls, we might still he bar barians, and Gibbon remarked that but for Charles Martel's victory, Moham medan doctors might today be teach ing the Koran at the University of Dx ford; and Pascal went so far as to de clare that if the hose of Cleopatra had been shorter, the whole face of the earth would have been changed. What ever may bo our estimate of the fancies of these great men, It*!* beyond quesd tlon that had It not been for Jerusa lem and the transactions which took place within her walls, human history ns we know It had not been. The Ini tial stages of the great consummation I toward which all human activity moves were inaugurated In Jerusalem. in. It Is to this City of the Great King r that the countries around the Medi terranean Sea owe their charm and In terest. Among the great cities of the past It was humble ^ In position and small In extent. To the west of her stretched Egypt, like a green ribbon for two thousand miles, producing enough wheat every- y««r to teed haI * the world. Under the very shadow of her mountains lay 'Tyre and Sldon, crowding with their ships every market under the sun. To the east of her was Babylon, dazzling and corrupting the nations with her wealth. Somewhat further away on the west, was Athens, seated on her throne of hills by the sea, a queen of beauty, attracting students of the world by her art and learning. More distant still was Rome, embracing by her arms of war all the peoples of the globe. Surrounded by cities strong, rich and Imperious, Jerusalem seem ingly had small chance for a career. Alexandria could rely upon her corn, Tyre upon her purple dye, Babylon upon her wealth, Athens upon her beauty, and Rome upon her legions, but What had poor, rock-encompassed Jerusalem to rely on, os a reason for existence, or & future of Influence. With her patches of environing soil held by terraces to her hills, with her narrow valleys hardly sufficient to produce bread for her people, with no army and no power, how could this weak mountain town hold up'her head and compete for a place In the history of the world? While the cities about her were augmenting their .wealth and In creasing their domlnnions and whiten ing the sens with their ships of trade and Ailing the world with the din of tfielr battles; the people of Jerusalem were writing poetry, chronicling their spiritual hopes, uttering their prayers and reading from the Interior depths I of their souls the literature of Heaven I ns God breathed It Into the spirits of I her Inspired men. Now, In this far-off time, after the empires have passed, after the tumult of battle has ceased, after the temples have fallen, after the forms In which material civiliza tions clothed themselves have vanished, we And alone remaining, to bring us news of the countries long gone, like a forgotten dream, the prayers and chronicles and visions and dreams of a poor Hebrew people, who had faith In their day to trust In God and to consecrate their lives to His service. If some Hebrew dreamers had not been taken captive from Jerusalem to Baby lon. the very name of that vast empire had doubtless passed from the memor ies of men, Had not the Jews, by the exigencies of fortune come Into rela tions with Egypt, interest in that won derful land might never have been re vived. St. Paul, cruclfled with the Christ, who died on the cross In Jeru salem. preached a sermon on Mar’s Hill, that has done more to conserve the beauty lying by Its side than all other things put together. Jerusalem's title to Immortality Is due not to any thing external, hut to the devout, b»*nu tlful. Interior lives of her saints. Their prayers have preserved the perfume of her flowers, and their sacrifices and sufferings have made her gates gleam with the radiance of Heaven.
