What a splendid sleep I had last night in a Catholic convent, my first sleep within doors since leaving Jerusalem. and all of us as kindly treated as though we had been the Pope and his College of Cardinals passing that way. Last evening the genial sisterhood of the convent ordered a hundred bright-eyed Arab children brought out to sing for me, and it was glorious! This morning I come out on the steps of the convent and looked upon the most.beautiful village-of all Palestine, its houses of white limestone. Guess its name! Nazareth, historical Nazareth, one of the trinity of places that all Christian travelers must see or feel that they hare not seen Palestine, namely, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Nazareth. Babyhood, boyhood, manhood of Him for whom I believe there are fifty million people who would now, if it were required, march out and die, whethor under axe or down in the floods or straight through the fire.

All jurists Doynoou was spent in this villago and its surroundings. There is the very well called 'The Fountain of the Virgin,” to which by His mother's side He trotted along holding her hand. No doubt about it; it is the only well in the village, and it has been the only well for three thousand years. This morning wo visit it, and the mothers have their children with them now as then. The work of drawing water in all ages in those countries has been women’s work. Scores of them are waiting for their turn at it. three great and everlasting springs rolling out into that well thoir barrels, their hogsheads of water in floods gloriously abundant. Tho well is surrounded by olive groves and wide spaces in which people talk and children wearing charms on their heads as protection against the “evil eye” are playing, and women with their strings of coin on either side of their face, and in skirts of blue, and scarlet^ and white, and green, more on with with water jars on their heads. Mary, I suppose, almost always took Jesus the hoy with her, for she had no one she could leave Him with, being in humble circumstances and having no attendants. 1 do not believe there was one of the surrounding fifteen hills that the hoy Christ did not range from bottom to top^r one cavern m their sides He did not explore, or one species of bird flying across the tops that He could not call by name, or one of all the species of fauna browsing on those steeps that He had not recognized. You see it all through His sermons. If a man becomes a public speaker, in bis orations or discourses you discover his early whereabouts; What a boy sees between seven and seventeen always sticks to him. When the Apostle Peter preaches you see the fishing nets with which he had from liis earliest days been familiar. And when Amos delivers his prophecy you hear in it the bleating of the herds which he had in boyhood attended. And in our Lord’s sermons and conversations you see all the phases of village life and the mountainous life surrouuding it They raised their own chickens in Nazareth, and in after timo He cries: “O Jerusalem! Jerusalem! how often would I have gathered tbee as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings!” He had seen His mother open the family wardrobe at the close of summer and the moth millers, flying out having destroyed the garments, and in after years He says: “Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth doth corrupt” In childhood He had seen a milo of flowers, white as the snow, or red as tho flame, or blue as the sea, or green as the tree-tops, and no wonder in His manhood sermon He said: “Consider the lilies ” While one day on a* high point where now stands the tomb of Neby Ismail. He bad seen winging past Him so near as almost to flurry His hair the partridge, and the hoopoe, and the thrush, and the osprey, and the crane, and the raven, and no, wonder afterward in His manhood ser

■non He said: isenoia toe iowis oi toe air.” In Nazareth and on the road to it there are a great many camels. I see them now in memory making their slow way up the zig-zag road from the plain of Esdraelon to Nazareth. Familiar was Ch .st with their appearance, also with that small insect the gnat which He had seen His mother strain oiit from a cup of water or pail of milk, and no wonder He brings afterward the large quadruped and the small insect into His sermon and, while seeing the Pharisees caroful about small sins, and reckless about large ones, cries out: “Woe unto you blind guides which strain out a gnat and swallow a camel.” He had in boyhood seen the shepherds get their flocks mixed up, and to one not familiar with the habits of shepherds ana their flocks, hopelessly mixed up. And a sheep-stealer appears on the scene and dishonestly demands some of those sheep when he owns not one of them. “Well,” say the two honest shepherds, “we will soon settle this matter,” and one shepherd goes one direction and the other shepherd goes out in another direction, and the sheep-stealer in another direction, and each one calls, and the flocks of eaoh of the honest shepherds rush to their owner, while the sheep-stealer balls, and calls again, but gets not one of the flock. No wonder that Christ, years after, preaching on a great occasion, and illustrating His own shepherd qualities, says: “When He putteth forth His own sheep He goeth before them, and the sheep follow Him, for they know His voice, and the stranger they will not follow, for they know not the voice of the stranger.” The sides of these hills are terraced for grapes. The boy Christ has often stood with great round eyes watching the trimming of the grapevines. Clip, goes the knife, and off falls a branob. The child Christ says to the farmer: “What do you do that for?” “Oh,” says the farmer, “that js a dead branch, and it is doing nothing and is only in the way, so I cut it off.” Then the farmer with hiB sharp knife prunes a living branch, this and that ten- - “But,” says twtfn iVa4 von

cutoff now sag isos 5Bad; what do 300 do that for?' ‘T>h," says the farmer, “wo prone off those that the main branch may bare more of the sap, and so be more fruitful." No wonder in after years Christ said in Bis sermon: “I am the true rine, and my Father is the husbandman; every branch in me that betroth not trait He iaketh away, and every branch that beareth fruit He purge tk it, that it may bring forth more fruit1’ Capital? No one wbo bad not been a count try hey would have said that Streaks of ns.tare all through Christ’s sermons and conversations! When a pigeon descended upon Christ’s head at His baptism in the Jordan it was not ibe first pigeon Ho bad seen. And then He has such wide sweep of discourse as you may imagine from one who has stood on the hiUs that overlook Nazareth. As far as I understand. Christ visited the Mediterraneass Sea only once, but any clear morning He could run up on a hill near Nasaretli aad look off to the frest and see the Mediterranean, while here in the north is snowy Mount Lebanon, clad as in white robe of ascension, and yonder on tho east and southeast Mount Gilboa, Mount Tabor and Mount Gilead, and yonder in the south is the Plain of Esdraelou, over which we rode yesterday on our way to Nazareth. Those mountains of bis boyhood in His memory, do yen wonder that Christ when He wanted a good pulpit made it out of a mountain—“seeing multitudes He went up into the mountain." And when He wanted especial communion with God, He took James and John and Peter into “a mountain apart,"

uu, lb is v.<iuziirj oi i>aza?uin, come forth to alone for the sins %f the world, and to correct the follies ofltuhe world, and to stamp out the cruelties of the world, and to Illume the darkness of the world, and to transfigure the hemispheres! So it has been the mission of the country boys in all ages to transform and inspire and rescue. They come into our merchandise and our court rooms and our healing art and our studios . and our theology. They lived in Nazareth before they entered Jerusalem.! And but for that annual influx our citites would have ennervated and sickened and slain the race. Late hours and hurtful apparel and overtaxed digestive orjans and crowding environments of city life would have halted the world, but the valleys and mountains of Nazareth have given fresh supply of health and moral invigoration to Jerusalem, and the country saves the town. From the hills of New Hampshire, and the hills of Virginia, and the hills of Georgia, come into our National eloquence the Websters: and the Clays, and tho Henry W. Gradys. From tbo plain homes of Massachusetts and Maryland come into our National charities the George Poabodys and the William Corcorans. From the cabins of tbo ionely country regions come into our National destinies the Andrew Jacksons and Abraham Lincolns. From pIow-boy’s furrow and village counter and blacksmith’s forge come most of pur city giants. * Nearly all the messiahs in all departments dwelt' in Nazareth before they came to Jerusalem. I send this day thanks from these' great cities, mostly made prosperous by country boys, to the farmhouse and the prairies and the mountain cabins., and the obscure homesteads of North and South and East and West, to the fathers and mothers in plain homespun, if they be still alive, or the hillocks under which they sleetp the long sleep. Thanks from Jerusalem to Nazareth. - But, alas, that the city should so often treat the country boys as of old the one from Nazareth was treated at Jerusalem! Slain not by hammers and spikes, but by instruments just as cruel. On every street ot every city the crucifixion goes on. Every year shows its ten thousand of the slain. Ob, how wo grind them up! Under what Wheels, in whatmilis r.nd for wbatan awfulgrist! Let the city take better care of these boys and young men arriving from the. country. They are worth saving. They are now only the preface of what they will be if, instead of sacrificing, you help them. Boys as grand as the one who with his elder brother clim bed into a church tower and, not knowing their danger, went outside on some timbers when one of those timbers broke and the boys fell, and the older boy caught on a beam and the younger clutched the foot of tho other; the older could not climb up with the younger hanging to hisTeei, so the younger said; “John, I am going to let go; yon can climb out into safety, but you can’t climb up with me holding fast; I am going to let go; kiss mother for me and tell her not to feel badly; g ;od-bye!” and he let go and was so hard dashed upon the ground he was act recognizable. Plenty

of such oravo hoys com: eg up irom r\»sarcth! Let Jerusalem fee careful how it treats then*! A gentleman long ago entered a school ia Germany, and ho bowed very low before the boys, and the teacher said: “Why do you do that?” “Oh,” said the visitor, “I do not know what mighty man may yet be developed among them ” Ac that instant the eyes of one cf the hoys ' flashed fire. Who was it? vfartln Luther. A lad on his way tc school passed a doorstep on which sat a lame and invalid child. The pissing hoy said to him: “Why don’t you go to school?” “Oh. I am lame and can’t walk to school!” “Get on my hack,” said the well boy, “and l will carry you to school.” And so he did that day, and for many days until the invalid was fairly started on the road to an education. Who was the we! i hoy that did that kindness? t do?s’t know. Who was the invalid he curried? It was Bobert Ball, the rapt pulpit orator of all Christendom. Better give to the boys who come up from Nazareth to Jerusalem a crown taste id of a cross. On this December morning in Palestine on onr way oot from Nazareth we saw just such a carpenter’s shop as Jesus worked in, supporting His widowed mother, after He was old enough to do so I looked rad there were hammer, and saw, and plane, and auger, and vise, and Bssaacrlng-mU*. and chisel, and drill, and adze, and wrench, and bit, and all the tools ot o&rpsairy. Think of it! He who smoothed tbo surface of the earth, skovia* a plaae. He who cleft the moante nS by earthquake, pounding a chisel. He who opened tbo mammoth caves of the earth, turning an aagea. He who wields the thunderbolt. * triking with a hammer. He who scoopfdhut the bed for the ocean, hallowing a ladle. Ho who flashes the moraine oa the earth, and makes the saidfcigM leavens quiver with aurora, consHttosint a window. In about, two houra ter thrornrh Cana, the village of Vuiea .. HU

that purpose. The mother of Christ— for women aro first to notice such things ~—found that the provisions had fallen short and she told Christ, and He, to relieve the embarrassment of the housekeeper, who had invited more guests than the pantry warranted, became tho butler of the occasion, and out of a cluster of a few sympathetic words squeezed a beverage of a hundred and twenty-six gallons of wine in which was not one drop of Intoxicant or it would have left that party as maudlin and drunk as the great centennial banquet, in New York two years ago, left Senators, and Governors, and Generals and merchant princes, the, difference between the wine at the wedding in Cana and the wine at the banquet in New York being that the Lord made the one and the devil made the ether. Wo got off our horses and examined some of these waterjars at Cana said to be the very ones that held the plain water that Christ turned into the purple bloom of an especial vintage. 1 measured them and found them eighteen inches from edge to edge and nineteen inches deep, and declined to accept their identity. But we realized the immensity of a supply of one hundred and twenty-six gallons of wine. What was that for? Probably ono gallon would have been enough, for it was only an additional installment of what had already been provided, and it is probable that the housekeeper

could npt nave guessed more man ono gallon out of the way. But one hundred and twenty-six gal- . Ions! What will they do with the surplus? Ah, it was just like our Lord! TUoso young people were about to start in housekeeping, and their means were limited, and that big supply, whether kopt in their pantry or sold, will he a mighty help. You see there was no strvehnino, or logwood, or nox yomica, in that beverage, and, as the Lord made it, it would keep. He makes mountains and seas that keep thousands of years and certainly Ho could make a beverage that would keep four or five years. Among the arts and inventions of the future I hope there may be some onp who can press the juices from the grape and so mingle them that, without one drop of damning alcoholism, they will keep for years. And the more of K you take the clearer will he ibe brain and the healthier the stomach. And here is a remarkahlo fact in my recent journey — I traveled through Italy, and Greece, and Egypt, and Palestine, and Syria, and Turkey, and how many intoxicated people do you think I saw in all those five great realms? Not one. We must in our Christianized lands have got hold of some kind of beverage that Christ did not make. But we must hasten on, for I do not mean to closo my oyes to-night till I see from a mountain top Lake Gallileo, on whose, hank, next Sabbath, we will, worship, on whose waters the following morning we will take a sail. On an&gJ up wo go in the severest climb of ajfl Palestine, the ascent of the Mount^H Beatitudes, on the top of whichpreached that beautiful sermon on the Blesseds—Blessed this and Blessed that. Up to their kneos the horses plunge in mole-hills, and a surface that gives way at the first touch of tho hoof, and again and again the tired beasts halt, as much as to say to the riders: ‘‘It is unjust for you to make us climb these steeps.” On and up over mountain sides whero in the later season hyacinths and daisies, and phloxes, and anemones kindle their beauty. On and up until on the rocks of blnek basalt we dismount. and climbing to the highest peak, look out on an enchantment of scenery that seems to ho the Beatitudes themselves arched into skies, and rounded into valleys, and silvered into waves. The view is like thatof Tennessee and North Carolina from the top of Lookput Mountain, or like thatof Vermont and New Hampshire from the top of Mount Washington. Hall hills of Galilee! * Hail Lake Genesaret, only four miles away! Yonder, clear up and most conspicuous, is Safed, the very city to which Christ pointed fop illus- ! tration in tho sermom preached here, j “A city sot on a hill can not be hid.” There are rocks around me on this ; Mount of Beatitude, enoueh to build the highest pulpit the world oversaw. Aye, it is the highest pulpit It-overlooks all time and all etornity. Tho Valley of

Hattm, Detwoen uere anu irnm uau«w. is an amphitheater, as though the natural contour of the earth had invited all nations to come and sit down, and hoar Christ preach a sermon, in which there were more startling novelties than were ever announced in all the sermons that were ever preached. To those who heard Him on this very spot, His word must have seemed the contradiction of every thing that they had ever heard or read or experienced. The world’s theory had been: Blessed are the arrogant; blessed are the supercilious; blessed are tbe tearless; blessed are they that have every thing their own way; blessed are. the war eagles; blessed are tho persecutors; blessed are the popular; blessed are the Herods, and the Caesars, and the Ahabs. “No! no! no!” says Christ, with a voice that rings over these rocks, and through yonder valley of Hattin, and down to the opaline lake on one side, and tho sapphire Mediterranean on the other, and across Europe in one way, and across Asia in the other \ way, and around the earth both ways, till tbe globe shall yet be girdled with the nine beatitudes. Blessed are the poor; blessed are the mournful; blessed are the hungry; blessed are the merciful; blessed are the pure; blessed are the peacemakers; blessed are ~the persecuted; blessed are tho. falsely reviled. Do vou see how the Holy Land and the Holy Book fit each other? God with His left hand built Palestine, and -with His right wrote the Scriptures, the two hands of the same Being. 4"d Pro* portion as Palestine is brougnt under close inspection, the Bible will be found jbere glorious and more true.
