Street in Bengasi, Cirenaica.
(Prepared by the National Gf'>,graphic
Society, Washington, D. C.)
^ LOW LY Italy continues to lift
W Cirenaica, the easternmost of
iT her African-.Mediterranean col¬
onies, from obscurity. But there
is still much of it that is an unknown
land to all save the heterogeneous peo¬
ples who for centuries have called it
“home,” and the Italians who govern
and colonize it.
Under the eighteen-year-old veneer
of Italian civilization, this strange
land remains, hack of. its coastal
fringe, more primitive than any other
country bordering the Mediterranean ;
yet centuries before the birth of Christ
it was a meeoa for men of the ancient
world.
Here flowed the River Lethe past
llit* Gardens of the llesperides, famed
in Greek mythology.
Mere rose fair Cirene, the only
Greek city, Alexandria excepted,
which flourished on African soil, ex¬
porting the rare silphiurn plant, cure
all for the ills of ancient man, so pre¬
cious that it brought power and riches
to the rulers of the land.
From the ruins of Old Cirene, In
recent years, was borne to a museum
in Rome that most alluring of all Aph¬
rodites, the Venus of Cirene, which
many authorities on classic art con¬
sider liner than the Venus de Melos.
The traveler reaches the chief port,
Bengasi, about thirty-six hours after
leaving Syracuse, Sicily. Out from
the shore hurry launches and row¬
boats. Bengasi is an open roadstead.
Tlie mole, constructed Dy the Turks
and lengthened by the Italians, Is al¬
together inadequate, especially when
winter seas heat furiously against
these stiores. At all seasons ships an¬
chor far out, and those disembarking
pray for fair weather.
“Plans for our new port works are
under way, We’re spending a tremen¬
dous sum; ten years and we'll have
a real harbor,” Italian engineers tell
you.
What Bengasi Is Like.
The landing stage adjoins the new
Italian town and one first steps into
a bit of Europe transplanted, African
only in the architecture of its public
buildings, of the type we Americans
call “Moorish." There are a few wide
avenues and an attractive'little park.
Alongside the new town is the native
quarter — white walls, flat roofs,
mosques and minarets.
Bengasi is the largest town and seat
of government of Cirenaica, which Is
independent from its big Lillian sister,
Tripolititnia. Italian Libia, bordered
on the west and south by French pos¬
sessions, on tlie southeast by the An
glo-Kgyptlan. Sudan, and on the east
by 13gyp,t. ranges far inland through
coastal plain, plateau, and desert, its
vast hinterland still one of the least
explored regions of Africa.
Tlie Italians claim in Libia a terri¬
tory more than seven times as large
as that of Italy proper, with its east¬
ern wing, Cirenaica, occupying about
one-third of this area.
Bengasi’s most friendly neighbor Is
not African but Sicilian, the city of
Syracuse, with which it is connected
by weekly steamer service. Tripoli,
across tlie wide Gulf of Sidra is
reached regularly only by fortnightly
service, the steamer making every tlt-
1 tie port along the coast from Alex¬
andria, Egypt. '
It is the insignificant port of Marsa
Susa, on Cirenalca’s northern shore,
where the land projects like a great
gray bastion into the blue Mediter¬
ranean, which was once, under the
name of ApoUonia. tlie port of famed
Cirene, a few miles inland on a ter¬
raced plateau. In those long-ago days
ApoUonia lured many a questing sail.
From Greece, Asia Minor, and Crete
they came: from the isles of the
Aegean and far ports on the lilacs
sea: from Tyre and Sidon and tlie
delta towns of the Nile: from south¬
ern Italy, Sicily, and the western Medi¬
terranean.
Of Clrene’s riches and prosperity
classic history relates; ruined stone
and marble tell. Here the Egyptians
followed the Greeks, and the Romans
followed the Egyptians; then came the
Byzantines. By the time the Arabs
arrived, six and a half centuries after
the birth of Christ, the old Greco-Libi
an city had fallen into decay. Before
the passing of the Turks from Cire¬
naica, Barbary corsairs, too, had
played their part on these storm
lashed shores.
Peopled by Many Races.
Many are the races grafted on the
original Libian, or Berber stock. To
the blood of conquerors from Europe.
Asia, and nearby Egypt, was added
CLEVELAND COURIER.
that of negro slaves from tiie .bdt’an,
brought by hundreds, year after year,
over tlie long cruel trans-Saharan
caravan trails.
Greek fishermen today, as in cen¬
turies past; bring sponges and tunny
up from tlie sea. Israelite craftsmen
and merchants, whose ancestors came
when Cirene thrived, still ply their
trades In the bazars of the coastal
towns. But today the will of New
Italy dominates this long derelict land
and Italian agriculturists are teaching
new ways to Berber, Arab, and black
Sudanese.
The Italian plan, after conquest and
pacification, has been to build modern
towns beside tlie native coastal settle¬
ments, and to encourage native trade
arid agriculture. More than 100 miles
of excellent highway out of Bengasi
have been completed, with about tlie
same mileage of railway. On the
rocky, undulating tableland, between
tlie coastal towns and the Libian des¬
ert, military automobiles follow tiie
time-worn came! tracks used for cen¬
turies by the natives. In the vast pro¬
gram for the future irrigation will play
a star role in a land where springs
and wells take the place of perma¬
nent rivers.
The capita! already lias potable wa¬
ter, electricity, and paved streets. Au¬
tomobile and motorcycle have leaped
into line beside camel and donkey.
Were you transported to tlie Italian
quarter of Bengasi on a Thursday or
a Sunday, at seven in tiie evening, to
a balcony of the hotel facing the trim
little park, you would witness an in¬
teresting ceremony.
At tables on sidewalks lining two
sides of the purk and overflowing on¬
to tlie streets, Italians, military and
civilian, are crowded. There are few
women in (lie throng. The men sip
iced beverages, with vermuth, soda
and hitters as the favorite, called
“Americano” in honor of a land once
famous for its mixed drinks.
The military band in the pavilion,
in tlie center of tlie park, strikes up
the national anthem. All rise and un¬
cover. hearts on the homeland across
tlie sea. The Fascist anthem follows,
and tlie bronzed faces of these colon¬
ists glow with patriotic fervor. Aft¬
er an hour’s concert tiie crowd dis¬
perses for eight o’clock dinner, and
for an hour or more, tlie sidewalk
cafes are deserted.
In September tiie officers still wear
the midsummer white uniform. Au¬
tumn here is as warm as summer;
the north wind ceases to blow and
the Saharan wind comes up from the
south. But tlie traveler should plan
to miss tlie dreadful ghihli, that
scorching, sand-laden wind of tlie des¬
ert due to arrive as summer wanes.
When it blows the sea is calm.
Cirenaica has no true mountain
range; only a limestone shelf a little
back from the sea, forming the face
of a plateau which declines to tlie
south as it merges with tiie Libian
desert.
Lethe and the Hesperides.
In tlie centuries since the Greeks
founded their most westerly port on
these shores, the physical geography
has changed in the neighborhood of
the Hellenic HespCrides, which be¬
came the Berenice of the Egyptians,
the Bengasi of today. In some cases
the sea has made inroads, submerg¬
ing villages; in otiiers, inlets, onee
connected with the sea, are now mere
Isolated salt lagoons, nearly dry in
summer.
There is a famous “lost river” a
few miles back of the town, flowing
through an underground cavern which
has been partially explorer. Some au¬
thorities claim that this is the River
Lethe of twenty-live centuries ago.
Strabo wrote of it, and Pliny the
Y onnger:
“Here Lethe’s stream, from secret
springs below, rises to the light; here,
heavily and slow, the silent, dull, for¬
getful waters flow."
But tlie Gardens of the llesperides,
where maidens guarded the golden
apples, in the Land of the Lotus-Eat¬
ers! Was this sacred grove near the
port of llesperides, or back on the
heights of Cirene where gardens still
exist ?
If you are on a shopping tour in
Bengasi, remember ttiat there are two
holidays a week in the native quarter.
Here the Moslem shops close on Fri¬
day, the Israelite on Saturday. Of
tiie 32,000 inhabitants of the city,
more than 20.000 are Mussulmans of
mixed blood, chiefly Berber and Arab;
about 8.000 Italian Christians, and
3.000 Israelites. There are less that!

Lesson for February 15
JESUS THE FRIEND OF SINNERS
LESSON TEXT— Luke 7:36-60.
GOLDEN TEXT—This is a faithful
saying, and worthy- of all Acceptation,
that Christ Jesus came into the world
to save sinners; of whom X am chief.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus and Those
Who Do Wrong.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus and Wrong¬
doers.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP¬
IC—Jesus the Friend of Sinners.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP¬
IC—Jesus Transforming Sinners.
I. A Penitent Woman’s Act of Love
(vv. 37, 38).
1. The place (v. 37). It was in the
home of Simon, the Pharisee, while
Jesus was sitting at meat. When she
knew of Christ’s visit in this home, she
came to lavish upon him her affections.
2. Tiie act (v. 38).%he washed Jesus’
feet with her tears and wiped them
with her hair. Through some means
she had heard of the pardoning grace
of Jesus Christ and God had opened
her heart to receive Jesus as her per¬
sonal .Savior.
3. Who she was (v. 37). Her name
is not given. There is no good ground
for assuming that she was Mary Mag¬
dalene. The implication is that she
was of a notoriously had character.
Though known to the public as a bad
woman, something had happened which
transformed her. She was a saved sin¬
ner because she believed on Jesus
Christ.
II. The Pharisee’s Displeasure
(v. 39).
Simon felt scandalized by such a
happening at his table. He was a re¬
spectable roan. For Jesus to tolerate
such familiarity on the part of a wom¬
an of such evi) repute greatly per¬
plexed him. Tltbugh he believed in
Jesus enough to invite him to dine
with him. lie questioned within him¬
self as to whether, after ail, he was
not mistaken. He reasoned if Jesus
were a real prophet, he would have
known the character of this woman
and would have eitiier withdrawn his
feet from her or thrust her back with
them; or if he knew her character, his
tolerance of such familiarity proved
that he was not a good man.
III. Jesus Teaches the Pharisee
(vv. 40-50).
He taught him by means of the
parable of a creditor and two debtors^
It is to tie noted that Jesus made it
very clear that he not only knew the
woman but knew Simon also.
1. The common debt (v. 41). The
woman was a sinner—so was Simon,
though he was riot the same kind of a
sinner that she was. There were two
debtors, though tiie one owed ten times
as much as the other. This is still
representative of ail sinners. The Bible
declares all to be sinners, yet recog¬
nizes degrees of guilt. Full credit
ought- to he given to the man who is
honest, virtuous, generous, and kind,
yet such a life will not secure en¬
trance into heaven. Much harm has
been done by even evangelical preach-’
ers through failure to recognize the
essential differences in human char¬
acter. On the other hand, the Savior’s
words are a severe rebuke to the re¬
spectable Pharisees who are sitting
in judgment against sinners of a
coarser type.
2. The common insolvency (v. 42).
“And when they had nothing to pay,”
Jesus freely granted the difference in
the degree of the woman’s sins and
those of the Pharisee, but drove home
to him the fact that they were both
debtors and had nothing with which
to pay (Rom. 3:23). As sinners we
may quit our sinning and hate our
deeds but that does not make satis¬
faction for the sins of the past. What
we have done is irrevocable—it has
passed from our reach. Every trans¬
gression shall receive a just recom¬
pense of reward (Heb. 2:2). We must
come to our Redeemer, the Almighty
God, and acknowledge onr insolvency
apd accept the kindness of Jesus
Christ who bore our sins in his own
body on the tree (l Pet. 2:24).
3. The relation of forgiveness and
love (vv. 44-50). Simon’s reluctant an¬
swer to Jesus' question showed that he
got the point of Jesus’ teaching. In
order to make iris teaching concrete,
Jesus turned to the woman; calling
Simon's attention to what she had
done in contrast to what he had done.
Simon had neglected to extend to
Jesus the common courtesies of a re¬
spectable guest, but this woman had
lavished upon him her affections and
gifts. The measure of one’s love is de¬
termined by the measure of the appre
bension of sins forgiven. The one most
forgiven will love most. Frequently the
worst sinners make the best saints.
Become Like Him
The ail-important thing is not to
live apart from God. bilt as far as
possible to he consciously with him.
It must needs he that those who look
much into his face will become like
him.—Charles H. Brent
Pity
Pity is . love . stooping, ... love drawn
down by helplessness and want. Pity
is love touched with sympathy, love
sorrowing and suffering in our sor
row.—C. H. Spurgeon.
Action Without Harm
Whenever Constipated
Here’s a way to be rid of consti¬
pation and its ills—a way that works
quickly, effectively, but gently.
A candy Casearet at night—the
next morning you’re feeling fine.
Breath is sweetened; tongue
cleared ; biliousness, headaches, diz¬
ziness, gas vanish. . Repeat the treat¬
ment two or three nights to get the
souring waste out of your system.
See how appetite and energy re¬
turn ; how digestion improves.
The action of Cascarets is sure,
complete, helpful to everyone. They
are made from cascara, which doc¬
tors agree actually strengthens
towel muscles. AU drug stores have
the 10c boxes.
Try to save enough money so that
when you are old you can hire a
nurse when you need one.
