It is but 186 miles further soutn to Aswan. The name Luxor i» a corruption of the Arabic El-Kusur, signifying “the pala:es” (referring to the temple over which che village was partly built), the town itself having little importance save as a centre from which travellers may visit the tem ples and tombs ct Ancient “The bes”—under which term were in cluded the districts on both sides ot the Nile, ute Greeks calling the ymole of Upper Egypt after The bes “the Tnebaid" (the hierogly phic name Uasc after the eastern ''district Ta A.pt, the Scriptural designations being No, Ezek. 30:- 14, and No—Anion, or Nut— Amen, Nahum 3:8, and Assyrian Ni being derived trom its common hieroglyphic name Nu, “the capi tal" ). Rising to power later than Mem phis, its only great Egyptian rival city, the nobles ot Thebes drove our. the Kyksos or “Shepherd Kings'’ from Egypt, making The bes the governmental centre of Upper and Lower Egypt, for aae to be seen, and between the columns on the south stand col ossal portrait statues of black granite about 25 feet high repre senting Ramses II, those on either side of the doorway also of the king with his wife Nefert—ari standing dutifully by his side and somewhat at the back of her lord and so diminutive as that her out stretched hand but touches the calt of The king’s mighty leg. Here is found the mod perfect statue of Ramses the Great in all the land of Egypt. The other statues of the court are red gran ite. Here too are pretty clustered pillars of red granite about a small chapel in the northwest corner of the court. Proceeding along the colonnade we observe it is about 170 feet long with columns and capitals on either side nearly 42 feet high, then passing into the Court of Amen-hetep (155 by i67 feet) we see double rows of co'J umns with lotus-bud capitals to the east and north and west, while to the south are two sphinxes (marked Sebek-hetep of the 13th dynasty) at either side ot the en trance to a hypostyie hall of 32 columns leading to chapels, and birth bouse, and Sanctuary built by Alexander the Great. From the outside we visit the Pylon on whose walls are represented wars with the Hittitcs, the battle of Kadesh and the camp of Pharaoh, and the Epic of Pentaur fn front are two colossal seated statues of Rameses II, 45 feet high. Once there were four others, only one of which now remains.

The names Scissorettes. the cool ot the late afternoon we reach a stately avenue guarded on either side by a row of mutilated sphinxes leading up to a lofty py lon in bold relief ag.iinst the blue of heaven above, and off to one side sycamores and palms many, while just beyond loom up twin pylons of a mighty temple. Of Karnak it is well said, “It is a place that has been much writ ten about and often painted; but of which no writing and no art can can convey more than a dwarfed and pallid impression. To de scribe it, in the sense of building up a recognizable image by means of words, is impossible. The scale is too vast; the effect too tremend- uous; the sense of one’s own dumbness and littleness and inca pacity, too complete and crushing It is a place that strikes you into silence; that empties you, as it were, not only of words, but of ideas. Nor is this a first effect only, “ft is an after effect the longer it is contemplated.”—(Mrs. Amelia B. Edwards.) Of it even Dr. Lysander Dickerman, special ist and lecturer on Egypt, declares I constantly to learn. Karnak contains the most won-1 (To be continued.) derful pile of ruins which can be imagined. It is impossible to un ravel its buildings as we can those of Denderah and Esneh, and dis cover any unity of fixed design. Whatever the antiquarian may do, the ordinary traveller can only gaze upon a monument ot unpara- leled grandeur, whose vast propor tions bewilder and overpower the imagination. The series of con nected temples in the main struc ture are a quarter of a mile long. “This Temple of Ammon was begun by Thutmosis I„ and re ceived large additions by succes sive rulers. The great First Pylon or Corner Towe/ is 372 feet wide and 142 high, and its summit gives a remarkably fine view of the en tire ruins, and by moonlight the effect is indescribably weird and majestic. “Passing the Great Court, with the row of columns on either side, and which leads into the Side Tem ple of Rameses III. on the right hand, we note on the south tower of the Second Pylon, tne Triumph al Monument of Sheshonk I. (the Shishak of ist Kings 14:25, 26 and 2nd Chron, 12:22, 9) celebrating his victory over Rehoboam, and his removal ot the treasures from the Temple of Jerusalem. A num ber of minor Palestine cities are also mentioned such as Shunem, Gibeon, Ajalon and others. “The Great Hypostyie Hall just beyond is a most indescribably stupendous structure 338 by 170 feet, its roof being supported by 134 papyrus columns arranged in sixteen rows, each of the central columns being 33 feet in circum ference and reaching to a height of 80 feet. The pillars and walls are covered with inscriptions and reliefs, retaining in some instances Sacred Lake. The Western Ave nue ot Sphinxes also leads into the smaller Temple of Klons. To the north is a third Avenue of Sphinxes, leading past the Granite Portal of Philadelphia into the Temple of Mont.” Tnis is the great pile on which we look and through which we pass stage by stage, winding up our visit by climbing to the top ot the First Pylon of the Great Court, well-nigh exhausted from the effort and looking down upon the Nile at our very feet in its fringe of palms and other growth and up and be yond to the mountains behind which the sun is fast setting in beauteous grandeur. Thtn, as the shadows lengthen and the dust be gins to gather round us, we return in a gallop to our delightful abode at Luxor, more inclined to medi tate and wonder in silence than give vent to query or judgment. Truly the end of the godless, how ever mighty their terrestrial en terprises, is ever as here, utter ruin. True prosperity and eleva tion alone come from obedience to God’s revealed will.

NINTH 8T„ PHILADELPHIA, IPA. Love may be blind, but it ui ally finds a way. Sincerity is the only foundation upon which to build true success. The world rarely thinks well of a man who does not think well of himself. Work is a joy when the loved ones share the fruits. Feet that never stumble never carry their owners far. A premature start often means a too previous finish. A kind word now is !>etter than a floral emblem hereafter. It is lietter to wear out than to rust out, and unwise to do either. Every boy is a puzzle, and it is a wise father who can guess the answer. The man who stubs his toe twice on the same nail is foolish if he blames the nail. A lot of people never think of their religion until they hear the chureh bells ringing. A man must be awfully mean when he can find pleasure in de priving other people of it. There is a skeleton in every closet, but this is no excuse for a continual rattling of the tames. Many men who would scorn to do a dishonest act in their business think it is all right to do dishonest tricks in politics. “The word graft has been incor porated into the language,” says a lexicographer.
