Holy Land And Holy Writ Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Holy Land and Holy Writ There is no originality in this linking together of the Bible and Palestine on our title page. It has been gracefully done by both Thomson and Geikie. In fact it can hardly be avoided; for the book, to be understood, must be illustrated by the habits of the people among whom it was written, and to be beautiful, must be illustrated by the vistas of Palestine's moun tains, plains, and waters; and on the other hand, the land would be a most unprofitable one for the traveler in saddle or in spirit, without its life history and without the halo that Scripture hangs around it.

Excerpt from Letters From the Holy Land These letters, written to my mother, and published chiefly at her request, can lay no claim to literary worth; their only possible value lies in their being descriptive of impressions received on the spot of that Land which stands alone in its character upon the map of the world. But the reader will more easily excuse the shortcomings of my pen than, I hope, he will ever do those of my pencil! I will make no apologies for the sketches, save to remind the reader that most of them had to be done in haste. They are necessarily considerably reduced in size in the reproduction, so as to suit them to the book form. It was a happy circumstance for me that my husband's appointment to the Command at Alexandria should have enabled us to realize this journey.

Excerpt from Everyday Life in the Holy Land Thirdly, this life is absolutely uniform. From the far South of Egypt to the far North Of Syria all things are alike. Every piece Of furniture, every agricultural or horti cultural implement, every manufacture, the building and arrangement Of every house - all is Of one pattern. Every work Of the same kind is done everywhere in the same way. Variety is charming is a Western proverb which the Orient utterly repudiates. The spirit Of the East calls, in all things, for a stereotyped and monotonous uniformity. If you have seen one pattern of inkpot, pen, table, coffee cup, brazier, ewer and basin, shirt, Cloak, girdle, head-dress, footgear, you have seen all. NO different modes, no passing fashions, change, or ever have Changed, the primitive features of Pales tine life. To Western minds, and in an age like ours, this seems little less than a standing miracle. Thus wonderfully has the power and goodness Of God afiorded us, through out the lands Of the Bible, a living, accurate, exhaustive, divinely preserved commentary on its inspired pages!

Excerpt from Scenes in the Holy Land See him standing before that portico, with a crowd of children around Him! How kind He looks! How ten derly He presses that infant to His bosom! He is looking upward, and you can tell, from the kind and holy expres sion of His face, that He is praying for a blessing to rest on its little head. It is, probably, the first time He has ever seen these children, and yet He loves them, and blesses them. If you, too, had been there, my little friends, perhaps He would have loved you, and taken you in His arms and blessed you.
