Since coming to the "Land of the
Rising Sun" as I haye seen fit to
call this Jerusalem epuntry. I have
more light thrown onto some scrip-
ture passages than from all former
study and research. In some wav
i he Bible Incidents come to be so eas-
II' understood You look out on
th*- hills nad narrow valleys and re-
I member the descriptions of this
goodly land flowing with "milk and
honey" you then see the abject pov-
i erty and for a moment you wonder
why this land was so called, but as
soon as you think of a people coming
out of a sandy desert foot worn,
hungry and. tired, stopping on a
green plot of grass by a running
brook with its music of perfect har-
mony, see the Held on mountain-
side and vale for the bee and the
rock cave of fresh honey, then the
cattle on the hillside coming at the
call of the maid with pail 4n hand.
Then you see these poor way-worn
pilgrims would accept this as a land
• f milk and honey.
But I call you to take another
walk with me. J know you are anx-
ious about the old Temple grounds
