Forty-five Sheiks have been arrested by thePasha of Jerusalem for entering intoa plot to massacre the inhabitants and plunder the country. The plot was discovered in season to prevent its execution. The Sheiks are nowT imprisoned in the city; but I understand they are to be taken to Cyprus, if their followers do not free them.the people do not realize the horror we have escaped. It is well that they do not. They seem to be almost paralyzed at such times.

War or no war, we feel like staying. I love the land, the atmosphere, the food, the water, everything. The Jews, many of them, do not seem to be much moved by the events now taking place. They have suffered so much, and passed through so many bloody scenes of dreadful sorrow, the reprieve they now find is a reaction from the great excitement they have passed through.

Aa I sat there in the gray twilight, my mind ran back over the past history of this sacred spot. What wonderful events have take place here since Mel-ebisedee, king of Salem and priest of the most high God, with his bread and wine, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him! It was here that Abraham of-the Prussian government has offeredhim a reward if he will keep the peace of Jerusalem.He goes out at nightfered his son Isaac upon the altar. It was here the covenant of salvationthrough Jesus Christ was made with an oath, four hundred and thirty years before the law was given from Sinai. It was to Mount Zion that David marched his little band of soldiersin disguise among the soldiers as a private citizen, to ascertain the feeling of those upon whom he must rely in case of trouble; and is doing his best to keep all quiet.Aug. 14.—There has been great excitement today among the people. It is the last day of the Ramadan, a great Mohammedan fast, preparatory, like Lent, for Easter, or “the festival of sacrifices” called Bairam, commemorating the offering of Abraham’s son Isaac. Ramadan commences with theovhvft(i1when he was seeking a resting-place for the Lord; and he took it, the stronghold of the Jebusites, for God’s sanctuary, where Christ will dwell among the children of Israel forever.
