Excerpt from Pictorial Journey Through the Holy Land, or Scenes in Palestine One land, and one alone, possesses an absorbing interest for those people of all races, in all parts of the world, who profess the name of Christ. No matter how much their one common tenet of faith in the Redeemer may be obscured by prejudice, or encumbered by superstition, if they believe in Christ at all, their attention will be at once attracted by anything which relates to the land in which the Whole natural mortal life of him, who put on our flesh and dwelt among us, was passed. Year by year, as that land and the districts adjacent to it are further explored, some fresh facts are ever being added to our still imperfect information concerning the localities mentioned in the Bible. Deeply interesting must it be to any Christian to wander throughout the country which was the subject of God's gracious promise to his chosen people. Still more interesting is it to him to see that each new discovery, geographical or archzeological, however trifling in itself, which it maybe his privilege to make, acquires a value altogether disproportionate to its own magnitude, because it bears upon a subject of such vital importance to us all, namely, the truth of every jot and every tittle of God's revealed word. Every such discovery will, he finds, corroborate some assertion, explain some allusion, or Show the falhl ment of some prophecy contained in that book, which we have humbly received as written under the direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit; and thus one more link is added to the long chain of indubitable facts, which proves to us that our faith in the word of God is not credulity, and our trust in the promises of Scripture is not a vain dream.
