The fertility ol the land once (lowing with milk and honey has been more or less lost. From the standpoint ol the gov eminent ol the country it is ex ceedingly depraved and uncivilized, with very little justice allowed other people than the I inks, and especially prejudiced against the Jews. From a religious standpoint 1 was forcibly impressed with the tact that ignorance had so domi nated even the evangelical chur ches |that is, those denominations that profess their faith in Christ] and superstition has so taken hold of the individuals teat Christian ity would hardly be recognized by civilized people.

Ascending a hill at the terminus of the plain we reach the Monastery of Mar I’.lyas, and pass to the right ot a well at which tradition says the Holy Family once drank. The Monastery derives its name from its erection by a bishop called Elias, and not, as a 13th century invented tradition asserts, from the connection ot the place with the prophet Elijah as he stopped here on his (light to Hotel) |drago men and priests by the side of the road pointing out the prophet’s bodily impress in the very stone itself(!] See I Kgs. 19:3 et seq.

It is about here that we branch off from the straight road that leads to llebron (El Khalil), and take the road to the left and are soon nigh to what is regarded as David’s Well, for whose spring- to us comes from the fact that here David’s Lord became David's Son, God’s Son became manifest in the flesh alter the fashion ot a man,for the salvation of a lost world!

Right here let me say, the rea son why Mary went up with Jo seph her espoused husband to Bethlehem was that she as well as lie might be enrolled and assessed for their taxes; they were subjects of taxation under Roman law, and she must have held property in her own name.

Narrow, winding, and broken are the streets within Bethlehem, now ascending, then descending, and not so clean and aesthetic on close quarters, yet withal having shops and houses and streets more cleanly and attractive than almost any other city in tho Land of the Book.

Rich in vegetation, and haps with greater exactness than family is not borne out by Luke 2: 1 -5, but positively disproved there by. As Dr. J. M. P. Utts very justly remarks: “11 the cause ot • heir going to Bethlehem had been simply that Joseph might be en rolled for a poll tax, then it would not have been necessary for Mary to have gone with him. There must have been an imperative de mand for her presence also; else, surely, Joseph would not have brought her, in the delicate and critical circumstances of her life so far from her home. She must have possessed a property in her own napie and it must have been an inherited property. The Greek (apographsasthai sun Mariam) means that both Joseph and Mary * were enrolled. This registration was under the Roman law, which required women to be enrolled only when they held a separate property in their own names. The property owned by Mary was pos sessed and held in accordance with the Jewish law. By this law a daughter, when there was no son in the family, inherited her father’s ! estate and held it as a separate property after her marriage. This also explains the difficulty in the two tables of the genealogy of Jesus, in regard to which Dr. J. H. Kurtz says: ‘Joseph’s father, ac cording to Luke, is Heli, but ac cording to Matthew it is Jacob. Among the many attempts to explain this apparent contradic tion, none seems more successful than the one which produces the result that Joseph became the son of Heli by his marriage with Mary.
