THE HOLY LAND
The following is the last in a se
ries of articles written especially
for The Chronicle by Dr. Fraser.
Pofesso of Bible at Pesbyterian Col
lege, on his tour of Europe and the
Middle East.
EvenMWfgh we had had a won
derful tour, it was good to begin
our journey to the west and home.
We had in six weeks visited Paris,
Rome, Athens, Instabul. Ankara,
Beirut, Egypt and Palestine. Our
last night in Palestine was spent in
Tel Aviv (ancient Joppa) on the
Mediterranean coast. On Aug. 15,
1958, we flew to Nicosa, the capital
of Cyprus, located almost exactly
in the center of the island. TTiat
night, a government official read
to us a very interesting paper on the
history of this mountainous, strife-
torn country. He told us that their
civilization dated back to 4000 B. C.,
and that the goddess Aphrodite (Ve
nus) the goddess of love was first
worshipped in Cyprus. Some legends
Jupiter, while others declare that
say that she was the daughter of
she sprang from the foam of the sea
near the island of Cythera, and from
there proceeded to Cyprus. He then
reminded us that Christianity was
introduced on the island by Paul and
Barnabas about the year 4 3A. D. It
was there that they began their first
missionary journey.
An acount of my experiences in
this “capital of the highlands,”
should be prefaced by a question
that I asked and the answer receiv
ed. I asked my companion and
guide—a true Scot, who was a re
tired colonel in the British army,
and aid to the mayor, why it was
that they were treating me so Won
derfully, for surely they could not'
treat e$ery American who came
their way so well. He simply gave
me a broad smile and said, “Oh,
you just get out of life what you put
into it."
It all began about three months
before, for when I learned that the
tour could be made, I wrote to Pro
vost (Mayor) Robert Wotherspoon
of Inverness, whom I had seen on
television in this country, telling him
that 1 planned to come to Inver
ness hoping to locate relatives,
and if he could spare the time, I
would appreciate the honor of meet
ing him. In just a few days I re
ceived a cablegram from him say
ing, “A highland welcome awaits
you. Please contact me on arrival.”
At the receipt of such a cable, my
spirits went up considerably, 1
wrote him immediately, of course,
expressing my appreciation. Again,
whle in Jeusalem, I wrote him ask
ing him to please make a reservation
for my lodging. When we arrived
at the airport in Inverness, an air-

My sincere appreciation goes to all
of you who have been sufficiently
Article No. 23 J interested and have taken time to
read this series of articles. I am
grateful for tho» opportunity to share
with you the wonderful experiences
and inspiration made posible by thsi
tour in Europe and the Middle East.
Again 1 would like to thank those
who made possible the tour. It was
wonderful of you, and I shall never
forget it.

plained that the reason for it was
that Turks, who are in rebellion
against the Greeks, have been plant
ing bombs in suitcases, etc., even in
the form of pencils and other small
objects, that had sometimes been
found “the hard way.” Personally,
I was quite willing for the attend
ant to take all the ime he needed.
This was not many days after the
KLM plane had disintegrated over
the Atlantic on its way from Europe
to America. We arrived in Athens
safely and had the afternoon of Sat
urday, the 16th, in which to do as
we chose. My time was largely tak
en in having ray camera and brief
case repaired—both of which had
suffered damage The tour officially
ended the next day at noon, with
each member holding a ticket back
home, and the privilege of making
whatever side trips he wished We
come into the city on the bus, he
would Heet me at the terminal.
Sure enough, there he was waiting
on the sidewalk in his raincoat in a
light drizzling rain. He is a man of
great dignity, but he greeted me
with a warm smile nad handclasp of
real friendship. It was about two
o’clock in the afternoon, but we
drove out to his beautiful home,

The Scottish Highlanders have al
ways been great fighters, and many
times in their history, clans have
fought to the death. The motto of
my own clan is “1 Am Reedy," and
I like it, but interpreted along a
less belligerent line. A motto that
I heard while in Inverness is one
that is indeed suitable for all in our
present day. It is the motto of Clan
MacKenzie: “Live and Let Live.”
May there be more and more fellow
ship, understanding and Christian
love between peoples and nations of
the earth until this motto is lived
by all.

I flew back to Glasgow, and just
after midnight I was off the ground
again, this time headed for New

delicious meals, plenty of sleep and
