ABOUND THE WORLD WITH
?. B. JENKINS
On Sacred Soil
Strange as it may 6eem, yet true,
I arrived in Palestine on the second
trip just one year from the time I
arrived before. Considering that I
had traveded around the world, it
was a co-incident that I should ar
rive back in Palestine on tho very
day, April 30th. The Port of Entry
of Palestone is Haifi, which is on
the boundary line between Palestine
and Syria. Haifi is an old city, but
not eld when compared to Shechem,
Jerusalem or Hebron. Here the
crusaders landed in their campaign
against the Turks in 1099. Here
Napoleon landed 800 years later in
his campaign against Palestine ana
Egypt. After the close of the
World War England was given the
mandate over Palestine. One of
the first acts England did was to
declare Haifi the Port of Entry to
Palestine. The harbor is not deep
enough for large ships. But in or
der to provide for better shipping J
facilities the government is dredg
ing the harbor so as to permit the
large ocean-going vessels to dock
A railroad runs from Haifi over to
Jerusalem and this provides for pas- |
senger and freight service. One ot
the principle products of Palestine
is wool. Camel trains bring this
over the mountains and here it is
loaded aboard ships at Haifi.
p the coast from Haifi are Tyr?
and Sidon. Here the Mediterran
ean is very beautiful. Along the
plain it is more fertile than any
other part of Palestine. Perhaps it
is due to the moisture from tho
ocean, with the level fertile fields
stretching away to the foot of the
Lebanon Mountains. Tyre is thirty
miles north of Haifi. Today there
is a poor dilapidated town, only a
shadow of tho former city which
was once the most famous in all
that part of the world. Alexander
the Great besioged Trye in 331 B.
C., and after months he captured it.
but not until he had cut the ci?y off
from the main land by means of a
canal as Tyre was out on a prom- 1
ontory overlooking the Mediterran
ean. As one looks upon the mud
brick houses, the narrow dirty streets,
the fishing smacks, they call to mind j
the prophecy of Ezekiel wnen he I
prophesied of Tyre, "She shall bo !
a place for the spreading of net# in J
the midst of the sea,'' Ezekiel 20:5
It was from here that Hiram, King
of Tyre, floated cedar trees down
the coast from David f6r the royal
palace and temple at Jerusalem.
Along these shores fishermen gath
ered murex shells to make Tyriat.
dye which brought the city wealth
When the shells grew scarce ships
searched the sea, and thus 'jegan
ship building which was the em
bryo of the world in shipping. It
was here that the Phoenicians de
veloped our alphabet. From this
now forsaken port went out ships tc
the Nile, the Black Sea, Tyrian col
onies on African coast, Sicily, Sardin
ia, Southern France and Spain. So
important did Aelxander the Great
consider Tyre as a p >rt, that he spent
seven months besieging the city, and
when he captured it he slew 8,000 ot
the inhabitants an-1 crucified 2, GO'1
more on the shore r nd sold 30,000
into captivity. Here the Aposth
Prul came and spent seven days whil<
on his missionary jaurneys. Here i
Christian church surplanted a pagar
temple. Here Origen, the famou:
Christian teacher of the 3rd century
died. Here came the crusaders wh< |
so wrecked the town that it never
rose again. Today it can hardly be
called a town but only a fishing ham
let. The Master came here, and per
haps visited some of the other cities
round about Tyre.
One might ask what evidence h
left of the Master's visit to Tyre?
The same evidence that He left every
where, an orphanage, of abandoned
American children who are <y?red ro?
by the Near East Relief, supported
by American money.
Did you ever visit the place of
your childhood and find the old home
in ruins, and trees cut down, roads
running through familiar places and
everything changed ? Did you have
a feeling of disapopintment and .-ad
nesa? Such was the feeling I had
as I saw the ruins of Tyre, Sir'on.
Capernaum in Palestine, Memphis
and Thebes in Egypt. These on"c
large, illustrious, famous renowned
cities of old only in ruins today. So
I came away with a sense of disap
pointment and sadness, as I saw only
the wreck and ruins.

The quarterly review always brings
Its problems. No set method can be
prescribed. The grade, the aptitude
of tlie pupils and the genius of the
teacher are determining factors ol the
problem. For seniors and udults, two
methods are suggested.
I. Character Study of ths Kings
and Prophets of the Period.
Biography Is always fascinating
und profitable. In the use of this
method, assignments should be made
a week ahead. As to the kings of
tills period, a study should be made
of their strong and weak points, and
suitable lessons be drawn from I l/em.
As to the prophets, the nature of the
ministry of each should be studied.
II. The Summary Method.
This method Involves the terse
statement of the salient facts ot each
lesson with Its central teaching. This
method, to be effective, calls for as
slgnments to be made n week in ad
vance. Different minds will greatly
vary. The following statements are
offered as suggestions:
