TRIP To The HOLY LAND :
By HEV. E. M. WISE, Pastor Porterdale Methodist Church
Having completed our visit toj
the War cemetery, the Mount we made of Olives. our | j
way on up
We soon came to the Hebrew Uni
versity near the summit, Here
the Jewish youth are given in
struction in all the departments
of college and university work.
This school is considered by the
Zionists as a most important fac
tor in the renaissance of the He
brew people in Palestine. One
thing that impressed us was the
announcements on the bulletin
board of courses in the Arab
language and literature. This I
was especially significant as a i
gesture of broadmindedness in
view of the traditional and current
attitude of suspicion and hatred
which exists between the two races
Passing on we soon arrived at
the top of the Mount where we
spent some time in contemplation
of the associations of this place
with the Lord. Here He had
made His lament over the rebel
lious city which lay gleaming in
the sun light across the Kedron
Valley. One of the best possible
views of Jerusalem is to be had
from this point. But, since I
gave a rather detailed description
of my former visit, I shall not take
the time and space to enlarge up
ori this second visit.
More interesting to us than
Olive itself on this occasion was
our descent. It was probably
here on the top of the mountain
that Jesus deliberately chose to
fulfill the details of the prophecy
of the coming of Messiah (Zech
9:9). He had an ass brought
unto Him, and He sat thereon and
rode into Jerusalem in a fashion
that proclaimed to all His claim
of Messiahship. As He went the
people spread their garments in
the way and' cast down palm
branches (the symbols of triumph)
before Him in the road. As He
approached, "the multiutde broke
into shouting, “Hosanna to the
Son of David. Blessed is He that
someth in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.” The
trail over which He rode on that
Add COMFORT
to your Home
HoME becomes a brighter, more cheerful place when
you have your telephone installed. No more hurried
errands because someone forgot something. No more
unexpected guests for dinner because dad couldn’t
notify mother.
No more . . . but such examples of the telephone’s
usefulness could be continued indefinitely. You will
find as many uses for the telephone as there are prob
lems in the day’s work. It will save time, money, effort
as it takes your voice to anyone you wish to reach. And
with modern high-speed long distance service, you can
talk to other cities and countries at surprisingly low cost.
The very presence of the telephone is reassuring,
for should an emergency come, it is comforting to know
that the doctor and your neighbors are only a few sec
onds away.
If you are trying to do without a telephone, add
comfort to your home today. Just get in touch with the
business office, or any telephone employe will be pleased
to take your order.

occasion is called “Hosanna
Road.” and it was over this that
we made our descent. As we
walked down the eteep sides of
the mountain and descended into
the valley of Kedron my mind
was filled with thoughts of the
triumphal entry of Christ into the
Holy City, What an experience ]
to walk the same road my Lord
had probably traveled on that me
moriable occasion! What an im
pression that daring feat must
have made upon those who wit
nessed itt And nineteen hundred
years later the same incident was
still making a profound impress
ion on my own mind. In my im
agination the drama was re-en
acted, and in my mind's eye I fol

tain side, over the Brook Kedron, |
up the opposite slope and through
the city gate. As the people
looked upon Him then He was
meek and humble, but .the incident
was truly prophetic of the tri
umphs of the gospel of Christ,
which was destined to endure after
the mighty empires of the earth
had crumbled into dust.
We passed on over the valley
and entered into the city by St.
Stephen’s gate. We had yet a
long walk before us before we
should reach our hotel, but fin
ally we arrived, tired and hungry.
Our lunch was waiting for us,
and it is useless to say that we
did it full justice. We spent
rest of the afternoon in relaxa
tion, and in making preparations
for our activities. > .....y . „

places. One
hem, which is full of associations
which are of interest to the Bible
student. Accordingly our sec
ond day “on our own” was given
over to a repeat visit to the town
where Christ was born.
In the days when Mary and
Joseph went to Bethlehem to be
taxed in accordance with the de
cree of Caesar Augustus (Luke
2:1-5) the five miles between Je
rusalem and their destination was
a distance great enough to con
stitute a Sabbath day’s journey.
They probably traveled afoot or
perhaps on a donkey, With the
coming of modern means of trans
portation, however, the trip be
tween these two points has be
come a matter of only a few
minutes. We went down to the
station just outside the Jaffa gate
and there we saw a line of busses
taking on passengers i'alesane. enroute While toj
various points in
we were waiting for the Bethle- ;
hem bus two boys about twelve
or fourteen years of age, got In a
fight, ana it was beginning to look i
as if they were going to re-enact
the tragedy of the gingham dog
and the calico cat, and eat one i
another up. I became very much
alarmed about the outcome, and
had a strong impulse to intervene
and try 'to bring the hostilities
to an end. However, I noticed
that the natives seemed to consider
that the t^'fair was none of their
business, and I concluded that it
might not be wise for me to make
|
it mine,, in view of the fact that
they may not appreciate
intervention. While '.he hostili-;
and ties we were drove raging away our from bus came the ,j
scene of the conflict. They may
still be fighting as far as I know.
A ride of ten or fifteen minutes,
brought us to our destination
the cost was moderate enough—■, in !
only one piaster or five cents
American money,
Our first visit to Bethlehem had
been an occasion of sight-seeing,
but our second proved to be a
time of souvenir seeking and buy
ing. Unfortunately nearly every
thing in these modern days is com
mercialized, even the most sacred
things and places. The birth

I had left Brother Bryant very
much interested in some New

It seemed that he needed a num
ber of these ana was bargaining
for wholesale prices, At length
it seemed that he had concluded
that he had “jewed” the man down
to the very minimum, and had
closed the bargain, When I
found him at length and question
ed him about his wholesale bar
gain Brother Bryant's solemn ex
pression immediately gave way to
a sheepish grin. At once I was
confident that something had hap
pened. At length he reluctant’y
admitted that after making
purchase at wholesale prices, he
had stepped into a shop next door
and had seen the very same

C. C. C. Game Refuge
Is Important Advance
The work of the United States
Civilian Conservation Corps in de
veloping the State’s National Game
Refuge in the Cherokee National
Forest is one of the most import
ant advances in Conservation work
in 1934, according to a statement
made public today by State Com
missioner Zack D. Cravey of the
Department of Game and Fish.
Commissioner Cravey pointed out
the help that has been given his
program by Captain Edwin Baker,
o<f Camp F-l, W. A. Woody, Die
trict Foreet Ranger, and Forest
Engineer, Wasser, who have work
ed in cooperation with C. C.
James, Superintendent of State
Fish Hatcheries . , and . also . in . charge
of the Cherokee Game Refuge.
“The work of the CCC can not
be overestimated in terms of hu
man values, Throughout the
years to come their labors will
stand as monuments of achieve
ment in conservation work.
At least 3,000,000,000 tons of
soil material are -washed out of
the fields and pastures of America
every year.
