On go ing down, whom should 1 find in the courtyard but my twelve-year- old Christian Arab friend, Samir Elias Gattis whom 1 met on the Via Dolorosa, and his younger brother. They had come to tell me goodbye. It made me love them even more. We had a good little visit, and just before leaving, I took some good pictures of them and gave each of them an American quarter as a tok en. Before Christmas, I sent them a httle present, and a few days ago a letter was received from Samir that warmed my heart. To show his ability, and a bit of his spirit, I am going to let you read his letter He said. ‘•Dear Dr. L Fraser, thank you for your letter of the 19th. De cember 1958 which expressed all kindness and good will towards me and my brother. Really those days were very precious when you were in Jerusalem. Come again once more and you will find us ready and at your service. , 'Many people were here this year on Christmas and it was really en joyable. Many thanks again for your nice friendship w hich we never forget and mainly for sending us the two dollars where we bought a nice gift for us and remembered you while we were gathered at home •We feh so sorry for not writing you before, but we shall do that from now on while in our prayers we always think of you Our sincere regards for thfe New Year wishing you a successful and blessed one too Chemo and all the beat I re main.

No photographs were allowed, but a mental image of it all will re- i mam. The country known as Israel in- ! chides the greater part of Pales tine. west of the Jordan River. It extends all the way from Lebanon j in the north to the Gulf of Aquaba (Gulf of Elalh) in the South. The country of Jordan is primarily east of the Jordan River, for the Arabs have boon pushed back out of the section west of the river, except for a strip approximately thirty miles wide and about ninety miles long along the river and the Dead Sea. Israel contains practically all of the fertile plains, while the arid hills remain in the possession of the Arabs. There are approximately 600.000 refugees in camps. Some of them have been able to secure jobs and work in cities and villages, but most of them are in idleness, chaf ing under the sorrow and burden of their fate One refugee is quoted as saying. * We lost everything, and time will not bring acceptance of Israel's gunpoint thievery ” It is quit disconcerting to some of them to look across the barbed wire and see others tilling their farms.
