One of the most teresting tliiugs in the Holy .Land is the f act that ene everywhere, in daily lif e, the taings tliat illustrate the Word of the Lord. The streets of Jerusalem are very narrow, and no one is allowed to go out at night without a light. Throw open your lattice in the evening and look out, you will see what seem to be little stars twiukling on the pavement. You will hear the clatter of sandals, as the late traveler rattles along. As the party approaohes, you will see that he has a little lamp fastened to his foot, to make his step a safe one. In an instant the verse comes to your memory, written in tbat same city three thousand years ago, "ïhy word is a lamp to my feet, and 8 light to my path." The woman is yet to be discovered who, when her husband ia pouring expletives into the bosom of his clean 3hirt, will not solemnly declaro that the garment had every button on it when it was put away.
