It is a large Christian village, having “stations of the English mission, of the Quakers, of the Latin mission, a flourishing Protestant school, and Greek and Latin Schools." It was at Ratnallah wo stopped for our noon lunch in the largo and comfortable “Hotel Bellevue and Gamp of Hiahmeh and Son," Proprietors. Here we met our drtigoinan Shukrey Hishmeh’s step- mother*aud little girl, who impressed us witli their pleasant maimers aud some what American ways. His father was absent with another party at that time, but we met him afterward near Jerusa lem. On concluding our repast and rest we went up on the top of the Hotel and Shukrey pointed out to us from this commanding position different points of historic interest, especially to the west —down tint mountain sides of Ephraim and Bcjamin and across the ploin to the Mediterranean. <>n fho east was poiuted out the hill from which according to tradition Lot and Abram chose their parts of tho land: "Abramdwelt in tin land of Caiman, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and moved his tent as fur as Sodom."

Here wo heard the chil dren sing “When the Roll is Called Up Yonder I’ll be There" (and our prayer was that they might indeed), and "America." The Manager said “the Commissioner and Inspeotor of Public Instruction of Jerusalem and the sur rounding oouutry”on bis inspecting tour here when he came to the room where girls were washing faces and hands, said, That’s right, make them keep clean, that's all they need to know. They don’t need anything up here” (capping his finger significantly on his head). Jue of the ladies in the company said sotto voce: "Because they already have enough up there!” Girls come here from Nazareth, Joppa, Jerusalem, Cai- na and other places.
