Excerpt from Palestine in the Time of Christ There is one conclusion, however, which I have not been able to refrain from expressing, because it forced itself upon me with ever deepening conviction as the work proceeded. I have given it in the form of an appendix in the last chapter. It is in substance this Jesus Christ was not the natural product of His environ ment; His appearance was a miracle; He came from God. Hence it is that a book of history, a work which is only a record of archaeological observations, subserves, by virtue of the invincible logic of facts, the cause of Christian apologetics. It has indeed been said, that my closing chapter is insufficient; that it should either not have been written, or the question should have been treated in greater fulness. I cannot accept this criticism, because, as I have already said, this chapter seemed to force itself upon me as the natural conclusion of my. Book. But I freely admit that what is still wanting is not one chapter on the'christ, but a complete study of His teaching, His person and work, written in the spirit of the present volume on strictly historic lines. This would require a book to itself, and in this sense the last chapter of the present work is undoubtedly incomplete. It is only a point of departure, the introduction to a volume to be occupied. Wholly with Christ Himself. Some day perhaps I may be privileged to attempt this, and to add my testimony to that of so many others, as to what the Christ was in His proper environment and in the critical age in which He lived.

Excerpt from From Manger to Throne: Embracing a New Life of Jesus the Christ and a History of Palestine and Its People I wrote this book for the masses. Who are the masses? The most of folks. They are the nine hundred and ninety-nine out of the thousand. I hope the title of the book will be suggestive of its contents. There are so many Lives of Christ that I wished to get a name not yet employed. On the rail train from St. Louis to New York, and while arriving at Alliance, Ohio, it ﬂashed upon me from manger To throne.

Excerpt from Travel-Letters From Palestine and the East Every land is holy since God made, and is in and over every land. Still there is a sense in which only one land is holy. And that because its mountains and plains and cities, its fields, ﬂocks and ﬂowers, its peoples and laws and cus toms, are woven into every part of our Bible; because of those holy ones who lived and wrought there for us; and holy because of the divers times and places and manners in which God has here revealed Himself to His people, and through chosen vessels to all the world. But most of all, holy because of that Holy One who here had His cradle and home, His workshop, pulpit and school room, His Golgotha and Olivet. And because of the future when that strangest of people shall turn unto Christ, and when in stead of the ancient city of Jerusalem, now in ruins, the New Jerusalem, which furnished the last and perhaps the most beautiful picture of heaven, shall be let down out of heaven, may Palestine truly be called the Holy Land. To visit this land, walk its ways, commune with its choicest souls in their old homes and in the light of the Land to read the Book, is a privilege to be coveted by any one, and particularly by one whose sole work is to preach the Gospel here revealed. In the good providence of God this privilege came to the writer, and after due provision for home and church, with grateful heart, he left home on March the third for New York.

Excerpt from Palestine, Past and Present: With Biblical, Literary, and Scientific Notices But all these terrors and beauties are considered the natural consequences of sea-life, and seem to lead the souls Of many to find the cause of the one in nothing stronger than a hard wind, and of the other in nothing higher than a blue sky. It is strange that so little true religion, with so faint an acknowledgment of God, exists among sea-faring men, around whom such mighty motives are incessantly gathering.

Excerpt from Life in Palestine When Jesus Lived: A Short Hand-Book to the Synoptical Gospels What do we know about the land of Jesus, the people among whom he taught, their way of life, their thoughts and feelings P We learn a great deal, of course, from the Gospels which record for us the sayings and doings of Jesus, and show us the impression which he made on di 'erent classes of his countrymen. We know, also, from the books of the Old Testament what was the past history of the nation, and how most of their great ideas grew up. But these would not alone help us to understand what we read of Jesus and his times. There are, however, other books, some written before his day, some after it, which tell us much about things of which the Bible says little or nothing. Some of these books are books of national and religious hope (see Chap. Vi., p. 162) some are books of history. Such are the works of a famous Jew, named Josephus.

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.

Excerpt from Geographical Pamphlet: Palestine in the Time of Christ Whoever would study the life of Jesus Christ must study the geography of the Land where He lived. What teacher or pupil can clearly understand the events of His public ministry who does not understand the effect on the people of the geographical conditions which made it possible for Him to labor more successfully with the people' of Galilee than He could have done with the people of Judea: who can not locate approximately the cities on the Sea of Galilee; who does not, in brief, thoroughly know the land where He wrought His mighty works? There are several large, comprehensive works upon the historical geography of Palestine which are invaluable for the student who would know the land in all its details, or for any one to use as books of reference, but the lack of a small book containing all that is essential for the study of the life of Christ and yet no more than teachers must know and pupils can readily learn, has led to the preparation of this book for the use of teachers and pupils alike. The aim of the writer has been to give all the essential facts in an orderly, clear and interesting way. Teachers realize that a knowledge of the geography of Palestine is essential to a correct understanding of the Gospel narratives, but in their short lesson period each week they have not time to impart this knowledge orally, nor could they do this successfully unless the pupils are themselves provided with maps and diagrams. From the large colored relief map in the book pupils can gain a better understanding of the altitudes and depths Of Palestine's sur face than from any other map published. Besides the three full-page maps the numerous small maps and diagrams will be found very helpful. An important feature of the book is the map. Work assigned; the outline maps at the end of the book are to be filled in by the pupils in accordance with the directions given. After the four parallel regions are taught by text and map and sectional diagrams on page 4, for example, directions are given for tracing them upon the outline map provided on page 33; after the extent, char acter and importance of the Maritime Plain have been taught on page 5, di rections are given for coloring it on the large relief outline map page 37; etc. Pupils will find the work called for very interesting, and this practical work can not fail to make their geographical knowledge gained a permanent pos session.
