first fifteen minutes, when its character changes. Here our sure-footed horses give

eapability for walking up a steep stairway filled with loose stones, But worse still was at hand, for we presently reached an

slide—nearly smooth, at any rate; for, though there are some faint marks worn in the stone by the feet of the generations of predecessors of my good steed, Jemil, they are not reassuring, and I only require an excuse to dismount and finish the ascent on foot. I look down atthe Doctor, who is mounted on a wiry and most opinionated little sorrel, rejoicing in the name of Naaman; but the reins are lying loose on Naaman’s neck, and the Doctor, notebook in hand, is serenely and ab- sorbedly contemplating the landscape, having evidently abandoned the whole business of ascent to his horse.

And, indeed, the pictures disclosed by the upward windings of the path might we!l make one forget its dangers. Fair, smiling valleys, and the varied outlines of range after range of mountains come suc-

We rode as fast as the rocky winding path allowed; in- deed, our horses always knew much better than we did when the day’s work was nearly done, and needed no urging except the near prospect of the evening meal The sinking of the sun behind the high western hills soon threw the valley into deep shadow, but on the upper slopes of Tabor the golden light still lingered with exquisite effect. But it faded even from the heights, and the quick-coming darkness had fallen ~ before we rode down the last long slope and reached Nazareth. We had been thirteen hours in the saddle, and though such a day could not be too long, we were thoroughly ready for dinner and bed. An ideal Easter morning! The bluest of blue skies, floods of glorious sunshine, flowers everywhere. This was my first impression of Nazareth as I came out into the fresh sweetness of the early morning; an impression that was deepened as I took in the details of the fair scene; the white houses in their green setting of fig and olive gardens, with pots of blooming plants on the roofs—roses running riot over the low atone walle—while acres of scarlet poppies blazed in the valley below us, and yellow daisies and fragrant mignon- ette grew like weeds atourfeet.

The history of the broken and fallen

the mountain is notknown, but they are certainly the remains of many ages and many different nations. Antiochus the Great built a town here more than two hundred years before Christ. Josephus

occupied the mount as a fortress and built |

a wall around the plateau on the summit. Much later, the Crusaders erected a church and monastery which the Moslems at length destroyed. As sole successors to all those varied owners, there are now two monas- teries, a Latin and a Greek; and so great is their fraternal affection, that travellers

Whatever the history and dates of these vine-covered ruins they are picturesque and beautiful now, and in perfect harmony

breakfast, we were struck by the strange fact, for the first time since leaving Cana- da, we had found a real Sabbath. In the narrow little streets of the “‘bazaar,” and in the broader market-place, every shop front was tightly shuttered, and there was not even a sherbet-seller abroad. in reply | toour comment on this, our dragoman said :

“Oh, yes, town.’

But, in view of the practices we had | seen in other ‘Christian’ towns, this | hardly appeared conclusive. However, it did seer very fitting that, in Christ's home, His Sabbath should be respected.

It was now late in the afternoon and we were going to see the sunset from the top We realized afresh, as we went up, up, up the narrow, stone | payed streets, that Nazareth is built on a hill -side; a system that ‘has its advantages | where sewers and health-committees are not. No wonder these steep streets look clean—the winter rains must come down them like a cataract. The view from the hill-top embraces many of the features of that from Mount Tabor, but is less exten- sive. The town lies on the south-eastern slope of the hill and looks little more than & village, though the population is various ly estimated at from five to ten thousand, (A Turkish census always leaves room for individual judgment. )

“The mountains and the water and the sky, These, as He saw them, have their glory yet, At sunrise and at sunset.’

Full of this thought we lingered long on the grassy hill-top, remembering the many proofs in the gospels of our Lord’s love for the mountain solitudes, and reverently be lieving that this must have been a favorite | retreat. Many times, it may be, He has | stood here, in the solemn hush of the dy ing day, and watched the purple shadows | deepen in the valley, and the snows of dis tant Hermon bathed in rosy light, or the | bold, blue line of Carmel sharply cut against the deep gold of the evening sky It was a scene to live forever in the memory, and, most reluctantly, when the light faded, we took a last long look and started back to camp,

One great event of the day yet remained. Of course dinner was always an eveut, but we knew that this night’s menu had been arranged with special reference to the day, aud to the memory of that Passover which the sons of israel stil] eat with girded loius and staffin band. Avppetitesand expecta- | tions were therefore pleasautly excited as we sat down to our flower-decked table

And now “‘Mr. Cook” himself marched into the dining-tent in his most stately manner, bearing a buge platter containing a lamb roasted whole—the passover-lamb, dresved in true Eastern fashion with rice and savory herbs ‘Mr. Cook's” brown | face beamed with professional pride as he skilfally cut the choicest morsels and served us himself, while Assad anc Hani, our usual waiters, locked on in respectful admiration.
