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 fluence, The common houses are 1 generally square and small, either 1 flat or funnel topped, the bricks a brownish black anu sun-dried. When square-built the tops are usually piled up with cakes of manure, branches and brush wood, i corn-stalks and other trash to burn; tor wood in this land is a scarce commodity just as in Pal estine.

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 per that of the 426 persons so stricken to that date ( April 2£st j 5,600 English soldiers, and a total , , , . . , \ u h by, and truly is a river of waters of 18,000 men and Koguns.

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.
