THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN 1 ) one can ever forget the moment when, for the flrit time, he behold* the walla and tower* and minaret* of Jehnialeth.

Inland, lifted up, rock-bound and rock-under- Itirded, Jerusalem, by all the pinnacle* that have pierced the heaven* from hsr temple*, churches, mosques; by ■ the wars that have raged around ht-r devoted Inhabitants; by all the bhod that haa reddened her streets, n nd by all the prayer* and hymns from the love of her saint*, has perpetually voiced man's undying belief In Ood, and the necessity he was under to love and serve Him. No city-ha* been so often pillaged, so often demolished; yst the smoke had hardly ceased lo go ur> from her flre-swept ruins before her people began to replace her pal aces and to rebuild her walla. By turns, the nations surrounding her € ame up and .emptied upon her devoted head all the resources of rslsntless fury, but amid It all and In spite of It nil, this city of the conscience con tinued to weep and wall and elng songs and write prophecy and offer aacrf- flree. Her eulferlnge have made her great and have turned the very stones of her atreeta Into object* of affec tion. For thousands of year* human llpe have been wearing away the atones of Jerusalem with (heir kisses. Jerusalsm Is a small city, and haa uavar been large, but It has had more Influence upon the thought and senti ment and conduct of ths human roc* than any other. Jerusalem has naver had any commercial Importance, only trad* consists of tha symbols and objects of a/faction, such as mothsr-of - pearl crosses, and carvings of the Sa vior's face: flowers from the Holy Fields over whose acre* walked the bleesed feet nailed for our advantage on th* bitter cross; olive-wood stamp* and paper weights, and pictures of placsa connected with the Savior's Ilf*. Jerusalem Is an unworldly city and ministers to the lofty and holy In man. and stands for the eternal In human natura. Jerusalem Is th* only city on earth where every kind of money Is current—Greek money, French money, Italian money, German money, American money, Egyptian money, Hindoo money, and evary other sort of money 1* good, for to th* city nf David the tribes of all the earth continue to go up; there they all And welcome. Jerusalem le I he dly of man, and anjoy* th* dis tinction of being the only city th* Son of Man ever wept over. The wall* sur rounding the city contain 40 feet of human history. For 4,000 years, Jeru salem haa been the altar, the confes sional, th* mourners' bench of tha hu man race. This haa been th* place where human nature haa meditated. th* uadyl ng and spiritual In man havo | expressed themselves In the melody of song and th* Importunity of ceaseless prayer; here the current* which drift toward God In human nature have com* to shore; here their swell and aweep hava lifted themselves Intd the psalms of David, the prophecies of Isa lah and the walling* of Jeremiah. Th* piaca haa an Infinite charm for poor, tempted, frail humanity, because her* Is the spot where One of our own fleeh and blood first ronquereil the world, the flesh and the devil: here virtu* and honor and purity and lug nee* and tenderness and pity end sym pathy and charity were enthroned and Invested with the preitlge that comes from succeeding.

There Is th* Jerusalem of thr Jebueltee, anchored forever to the threshing floor of Araunah. There Is the Jerusalem of David, with Its pal aces In song.

There la the Jerusalem of Kehe- mlah, built with a weapon of warfare In one hand, and an Implement of In dustry In the other, appealing to the atrenuoua of all ages. There Is the Jerusalem of Ixalab. breathing li prophecy and falling In tear*, but ris ing In aspirations that are never to There Is the Jerusalem of Jeremiah, changing with the cadence* of hi* sad and mournful poem, but eternally fixed In the walling and th* tears of (he prophet that Ood raised up to tell His native city of her sins.

There I* the Jerusalem of Titus, with Its raging Are and moulder ing ruin* still burning and smoking In the glowing periods of the historian Josephus. And then there Is the Jeru salem of the crusaders, with lu songs and gallant knights living today In Tasso's verse, and loved today as In the time of Peter the Hermit. . 11. If w-e are to have any rational con ception of universal history, we must study It from Jerusalem. Condorcet said that had Xerxes been victorious at Salami*, we might still be bar barians, and Gibbon remarked that but for Charles Martel's victory, Moham medan doctor* might today be teach ing the Koran *t the L'nlverelty of Ox ford ; and Pascal v ent *o far as to de clare that If the nose of Cleopatra had been shorter, the whole face of the earth would have been changed. What ever may be our estimate of the fancies of these great men. It I* beyond ques tion that had' It not been for Jerusa lem and the transactions which too)t place within her walls, human history as we know It had not been. The Ini tial stages of the great consummation toward which all human activity moves were Inaugurated In Jerusalem. 111. It Is to this City of th# Orest King that the countries around the Medi terranean Sea owe their charm and In terest. Among the great cities of the past It was humble In position and small In extent. To the west of her stretched Egypt. Ilk* a green ribbon for two thousand miles, producing enough wheat every year to feed half the world. Under the very ihadow of her mountains lay Tyre and Sidon. crowding with their ship* every market under the sun. To the east of her wa* Babylon, doxzllng and corrupting the natUns with her wealth. Somewhat further away on the west, waa Athene, seated on her throne of hlMs by the sea, a queen of beauty, attracting students of the world by her art and learning. More distant still was Rome, embracing by her arms of war all the peoples of the globe. Surrounded by cities strong, rich and Imperious, Jerusalem seem ingly had email chance for a career. Alexandria could rely upon her corn. Tyre upon her purple dye, Babylon upon her wealth, Athens upon her beauty, and Rome upon her legions, but what had poor, rock-encompassed Jerusalem to rely on, as a reason for existence, or a future of Influence. With her patches of environing soil held by terraces to her hills, with her narrow valleys hardly sufficient to produce bread for her people, with no army and no power, how could this weak mountain town hold up her head and compete for a place In the history of the world? While the cities about her were augmenting their wealth and In creasing thdr domlnnlons and wh Ing the seas with their ships X jf' and filling the world with th»|„ their battles; the people of Je, alein were writing poetry, chronicling spiritual hopes, uttering their we _ and reading from the Interior .p th , of thdr souls the literature of hven as God breathed it Into the spl- , her Inspired men. Now, In this time, after the empires have after the tumult of battle has qJ5' after the temples have fallen,f,.; the forms i„ which material cb,„ tlon-< < lothad themselves have van./ we find alone remaining, to brli news of the countries long gonel. a forgotten dream, the prayers chronicles and visions and drean„» a poor Hebrew people, who had t h In their day to trust In God ante consecrate their lives to His servient some Hebrew dreamer* had not taken captive from Jerusalem to By Ion, the very name of that vast em« had doubtless passed from the men let of men. Had not the Jews, by 1 exigencies of fortune come into ru tions with Egypt. Interest In that w. derful land might never have been vived. St. Paul, crucified with , t'hrlst, who died on the cross in Jet saleni. preached a sermon on Ms Hill, that has done more to ennser the beauty lying by It* side than < other things put together. Jerusalem title to Immortality Is due not to an thing external, but to the devout, beau tlful, Interior lives of her saints. Theh R rayers have preserved the perfume m or flowers, and their sacrifices and sufferings pave made her gates gleam with the radiance of Heaven.
