an American who has traveled in

, fully appreciate this remark; yet it
is noteworthy for others. Well-
irrigated and thoroughly cultivat
ed, the country over which we
proceed is one of canals and palms
and other large spreading trees,
wheat and rice and cotton and
lentil plantations. Houses and
stations here and there strikingly
denote the English touch and in

When square-built the tops are
usually piled up with cakes of

(34). EGYPT: By Port Said
Alexandria anil on to Cairo.
The name of Egypt is so gen
erally associated with a tar-off an
tiquity in the common mind that
the mere mention of it makes one
think of it as “the Land of the
Mummy” (suggestive not merely
of “the Dead” but more—of “Im
mortality”), “the Land of Bond
age” to Israel, and Kamit or “the
Black Land,” the land in which
the model Joseph stood second to
the Pharaoh on the throne, where
Moses the Israelite was born and
rescued and reared to command
under the adopting patronage of
the daughter of a Pharaoh, the
land into which Joseph with Mary
took the Saviour when a child for
protection of his life, justifying the
prophecy of God bv Hosea, “Out
of Egypt have I called My Son.”
(Gen.45:8,9; Ex. 1:13-14; 2:1-10;
Hos. 11:1; Matt. 2:12 15)
When we speak of Egypt we
think of the pyramids and the
obelisks, the Sphynxes and the
mummies and the temples and the
tombs of by-gone ages, of the
deserts and the camels and the
palms and the Arabs and the Nub
ians, of nature and animal worship
in every form, of the plagues and
the Israelites and the Exode! But
to one who sees or reads much of
it, Egypt is a far more compre
hensive term, “the River of
Egypt,” the White Nile of Lower
Egypt and the Blue Nile of Upper
Egypt, being “the Life of the
Land,” canals and ditches, water
wheels run by the Nile buffalo,
men dipping and emptying buck
ets by hand or by attachment to a
long pole as a lever, distributing
the life-giving streams to every
part of the arable land, making
Egypt along the river course the
most productive of lands, refresh
ing to the eye and responsive to
the touch of mankind.
It is nominally subject to Tur
key, and pays tribute to the Sul
tan annually in the sum of #3,500,-
000. But in reality the govern
ment of Egypt is autonomous, be
ing conducted by six native minis
ters directed by the Khedive
(Abbas Hilmi), with this qualifi
cation, that no financial decisions
can be effected without the con-
1 15,676,808), cereals, animal prod-
I ucts, provisions, and manufac-
I tured goods; about 5,700,000 acres
being under cultivation, and the
date.palms numbering 5,219,113.
It is toward this land with its
low-lying coast and yellow-tinged
waters we are steaming on the
Grosser Kurfuerst, past Port Said
at the entrance to the great Suez
Canal (about half way), and tarry
not until we enter the eastern
harbor of Alexandria, the chief
sea-port of Egypt, founded 332 B.
C. by Alexander the Great, and
protected by the isle of Pharos.
It is noted as an ancient centre of
learning and of theological con
troversy, and the site of Alexan
der’s tomb is thought to be some
where hereabouts. Its great and
costly library of 400,000 volumes
established under Ptolemy I, was
destroyed by fire in the war of
Julius Caesar, entailing irrepar
able loss. Ptolemy I’hiladelphus
was the one who ordered the
Septuagint translation of the Bible
for his library. Alexandria has
connected with its history the
famous names of Euclid, Strabo,
Origen, Clement, Athanasius, the
patriarch Cyril, Theon and his
daughter Hypatia, and many more
of distinction. In its modern con
stitution it is a flourishing com
mercial city of 300,000 ( with more
than one fourth Europeans), and
its most notable sights are Pom-
pey’s Pillar, (99 feet high and of
red granite finely wrought and
finished, the solitary reminder of
ancient greatness, not the site of
Pompey’s tomb, history unknown,
yet the first prominent object to
catch the eye on approaching the
harbor),early ChristianCatacombs,
the Mahmudiya Canal, the Palace
of Ras et-Tin, site of the Pharos,
the Arsenal and Roman tombs,
and the New Museum near the
Rosetta Gate, and the interesting
native bazaars.
About 10 a. m. we come into
port, but are not given the pleas
ure of going in and about the city
in view of the prevalence of the
dread “Bubonic Plague” in a sec
tion of the city, the seriousness of
which may be judged by the state
ment of an Alexandrine daily pa

reached about 7:30 p. r.i., and as
you enter it'your verdict is ren
dered on it at once as a great and
up-to-date city. It was the writer’s
good fortune to be assigned with
others to the Grand Continental
Hotel, which in every appoint
ment proves itself worthy the
name, with cozy beds and high-
ceiled and fi nely furnished rooms
and menu and water, etc., to suit
the taste of the most fastidious.
After dinner at 8 p. m., we
sought refreshment in sleep, first
seeking the Scripture and the
blessing of the Most High for
ourselves and others.
“Oil, happy they who know the Lord,
With whom lie doigns to dwell I
fie feeds and cheers them hy His Word,
His arm supports them well.
He help'd His saints ill anoient days,
Who trusted in His name;
And we can witness to His praise,
His love is still the same.
His presence sweetens all our oares,
And makes our burdens Light;
A word from Him dispels our fears,
And gilds the gloom of night.
Lord, let us then most highly prize
These tokens of Thy love,
Till Thou slialt hid our spirits rise
To worship Thee above,”
