x. SCENES IN THE HOLY cy A VERY VIVID DESCRIPTION IS GIVEN OF JERUSALEM. The City Beautiful--View From the Mount of Olives--Was There Anything so Beautiful and Blasphemous? The bare but richly colored landicape--~the rocky hills, the. caravan tracks, the narrow, rushing river, the shaggy-coated shepherds with their flocks--on the railroad from Jaffa to Jerusalem was all that we expected; but the cdrful of tourists and the scene at the rail road station utterly spoiled the longed-for "first view." 1 tried to arrange it so that we should stcp at a station on the way, and take 'horses for the city, but without avail. Never shall 1 forget the baggage-master's deliberate fury. With the entire travelling public de manding its baggage, ~somet'mes with the wailings of native women,--he would not cease Kis frantic work of assortment, and keep the world waiting while he stormed, raged, and imprecated.. Then he would seize a trunk, and tug at it with the face of a madman, stop- ping everything now and again to declaim in shrill and spurting sentences, or dashing at @ bag with contorted features and the rage of # Turkish soldier clutching an Armenian. On the whole, perhaps it was not unfortunate; if there was to be nothing about it but the modern, the diversion might as well be noisily complete. It was not till the next morning that we felt the place. Starting from our hotel just inside the Jaffa Gate, near David's Tower, 'we went on donkeys around the city, devouring with eager eyes and hearts the landscape so strange and so familiar--past the Pool of Siloam, along the edge of the valley of Je hoshaphat over against Gethsemane, past the Golden Gate, till we came to the barten hill- top that some think is the true Calvary. The identification has no certainty. And yet this is now more like Calvary than is the little chapel inside the Church of the Holy Sepulcher--this lonely hilltop, dismal and unperverted, with its native graves, uncared for, unwalled, strangely spotted with blood-red anemones. Anxious, dangerous, murderous now, Il this part of Asia was a bloody country in the days of Moses, in the days of Christ; doubt, sus- picion, and threat, murder in religion's name, are in the air now as they were of old. One day (our first Friday here), on the way to the Wailing-place of the Jews, an old Jewess was knocked down by a camel. The drivers grin- ned, and went on. There seemed little pity for the bemoaning old creature even among, her own' people. Anotlter tithe I saiv a. wo- mdn run to. a girl of about eight years, and drag her home, biting the tender flesh of ithe child's arm: like a wicious dog.' The «traveler is entirely safe here if he 'or she knows and submits" the ways "aud" regulafiohs, dnd re- frains from journeys tirat are for the time being pronounced dangerous. But when you ask what would happen if a Christian should visit 'the Mosque of Omar at certain sacred seasons, or. if a Jew should enter the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the auswer is not, "He would be put out," 'but, "He would be killed." THe sad eyes of the Armenians here hide sor- rows and anxieties that no one dares to tell. Any of the saéred places 'themselves mdy be 'scenes of violence at any moment. At the mitacle of the Greek Fire in the Church of the Sepulcher there is alivays violence; in hy in 4 horrible panic, hundreds of pilgrims-and others were crushiéd, besten, or bayoneited to death. Tn 1895, at this. same ceremony, the Greek crowd pushed back the Armenian patriarch 'who was going into the Chapel of the Angels to take his usual part with the Greek patriarch. The bugle sounded, and the Turkish soldiers who are always present there to keep the peace came to the rescue. They themselves are said to have behaved well, but the rival Christian factions fought with des- peration. were inflicted, and the patriarch's miter was knocked from his head. 1g the old days, as now, there were lepers and misery; then, as now, there was a city beautiful, worthy of love and tears; then, as now, there were good- pess and brutality, envy and hypocrisy, and many 'a faithful heart. Jerusalem, Syria, this Ottoman empire,--yes, and the unchristian Christian world,--~need a Redeemer now as then, a Prince of Peace. . All this comes upon one here with new and tremendous force. A city beautiful! On Palm Sunday, from the stairway near the spot where Mary stood when the body of her Son was taken from the cross, 1 saw the Greek procession in the Church of the Sepulcher. Then 1 went over to the Mount of Olives. Looking back from a field well up on the hillside, the whole city lay beneath--the temple area, with the great mosque in full view across the valley of Je- hoshaphat. From here Jerusalem, with its clear and stately outline of walls, the domes and minarets of the mosques, and the old towers and churches, has a singular com- pleteness" Perhaps even in Solomon's time, from the outside, though different, it was not more lovely. The warm grey of the stones Of the city is the color of the unbleached wool of goats; the hills are darker, with a delicate bloom over them, spotted with gray olive- orchards, and melting in the distance into violet. It is indeed a city set upou a hill, isolated, distinguished. The picture realizes one's lifelong dream of the city of God. The sunset sky was wild and cold, with streaks of sunshine. The rain ceased, and thie air grew warm. In the rich, low light all blemishes were lost, and the City Beautiful was spread before the pilgrim's eyes. Perhaps it was here that Christ wept over Jerusalem; along or near this path He must have come on the day of His "entry" on the first Palm Sunday, whose feast was being kept that very day through- out all Christendom. You see that we did not find the Holy Land disillusioning. There are many things that confound the Western mind; there is filth and degradation and superstition. But here is the same sky, the same landscape, the same dominating Orient. The painter who knows the Holy Land best said to wus in Jerusalem: "At times when 1 look at these fields, and realize that this very picture was reflected in the eyes of Jesus, 1 feel myself shiver." The Bible, no matter what one's; theology or philosophy, here takes on a vitality atid mean- ing beyond the power of conception hitherto, Are the places real? Jergsalem, all Syria, is real, and some of the "sacred places" are un questionable. But you do not have to be sure that the place is exact when you listen, with a new emotion, to the words of Jesus repeated by the French monk on Good Friday, and at that "station of the cross" where Christ cried out, "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and {or your children" Even the terrible rounds of the "sacred places" in the Church of the Sepulcher, No lives were lost, but injuries | all bedizeued, and ridiculous with fantastic im- possibilities--is it notall given a true holiness by the passion of believing worshipers through the ages? Bent under the unescapable bur- dens of their life, hither from every part of the earth they have come, only that they might touch the footprints of the Man of Sorrows. Crawling on the worn pavement, they have kissed reality into every sacred lie. The warring of emotions in the breast of the onlooker from another civilization is some- thing indescribable, You might expect to feel nothing but indignation at some of the scefes of Holy Week; but the human element gives pathos and dignity to ceremonies which other- wise would be shocking indeed to the Protest- ant mind. Do you know that on Good Friday evening, in the small upstairs Chapel of the Holy Sepuicher, which is called the true Cal- vary, the scene of the descent from the cross is re-enacted? The Latins borrow the altar built 'over the very stop of the crucifixion. There i5-a large crucifix on the altar, flat, and painted to represent life; but the Latins bring their 'own small jointed crucifix; the crown of thorns is removed with iron pincers, a sheet is passed under the arms, the long nails are withdrawn one by one and kissed, the arms are turned down, and the body is laid upon the altar,' There is chanting, most melodious and movifig, and a sermon in French. Pilgrims, in various costumes and of various Christian beliefs, are bowed in worship in the low-ceiled room which was once "Golgotha" But the most startling scene of Holy Week is the miracle of the Greek Fire on the Saturday before Easter Sunday. In the centre of the rotunda of the Church of the Sepulcher is the Holy Sepulclier itself, a hexagonal structure, divided into the Chapel! of the Aun- gels and the tomb proper. The night before we had seen the pilgrims, most of them Rus- sian peasants, lying in the places to which they would cling till they should receive the fire. With two cavasses leading the way, we arrived at about 11 am. The soldiers examined the natives for arms as: they went in. We were led around the Greek chapel, through the pil- grims thick upon the floor, and taken to our outlook in the gallery. The armed Moslem soldiers encircled the Sepuicher, the crowd packed eight or ten deep between them and the walls. In harsh and piercing tones they were shouting their songs, some religious and some secular, with clapping of hands and ex- citemment that grew apace. The Arabic was translated for us as the chaning went on: 0 Jews, © Jews, Your feast is the feast of devils, Ouyr feast is the feast of Christ-- Christ who has redeemed us, And with His blood has bought us. We to-day are happy And you' are sorrowful. Then it would be! "The resurréction® 'of Christ has redeemed us from our sins," givep out with antiphonal yells, and with hand-clap- pings. 'Sometimes | they' shouted ' working- songs and sometimes a Bedouin war.song. (At about cone o'clack some Armenian ~ monks formed a small procession. At this moment avyouth in white was lifted on.the shoylders ofthe crowd. "This is' the! tomb of Our Saviour!" first the youth shouted, clapping his hands, . atid 'pointing to the tomb; then -the crowd responded antiphopally,--this over and over. Now the youth is hoisted higher in the air to the top of a pyramid wade of three men on the shoulders of the level crowd. "Our candles are in our hands, And to the tomb we are praying--" 4834, | stilbantiphonally. Now tlie youth drops down, and five men were raised in a circle, and, chanting; move around, from left to right. A man wearing a pink shirt, red waistband and white trousers is standing with his arm in the oval window of the Sepulcher. The shouting and clapping continge: 0 the Jews! O the Infidels! Your feast is the feast of the dead, And our feast is the feast of Christ. It is like college, foot-ball games, negro camp-mectings, the Salvation Army, the boat- men on the rapids of the Nile. An American | presidential nominating conveutjon is a quiet * gathering in comparison with all this hy- sterical yelling, pulling, pushing, and gestic- wlating. Bu_ if the ear suffers, the eye has a feast beyond the power of words to picture. { The procession of Greeks, Armenians, Copts, and dark-faced Abyssiniaus--oune sect follow- ing another, and éach vying with the others { in spleddor--are like chains of jewels drawn | through a box of precious stones. For there is color everywhere, not only in the glowing marbles, and the jutting ornaménts of the architecture, and all the unmoving background, but in the whole swaying mass below: the red fezzes and gleaming guns of the Sultan's troops; the fezzes and turbans and flowing robes of the Syrians, red, white, blue, and orange. The bldck dress of certain of .the Greek priests serves as a foil to the magni- ficence of their dignitaries. Gorgeous indeed are the jeweled miters of the chief ecclesiastics, and their vestments of blue, white, and pink, stiff with embroidery of gold and silver. The surging to and fro of the crowd below; the swinging of the lamps, the strauge and outlandish odors, mixed with the smell oi in- cense; the straining of the gaze past the irch- ways into the chapels wliere mass was con- tinuously chanted; the waiting for some strange new thing to happen, made us at times faint and dizzy. Occasionally a big, black drinking-jar is passed over the heads of the people, and eagerly seized. Now there are high-pitched yells that sound like catcalls; now it is "God save the Sultan!,"sometimes joking and laughter but there is no cessztign of "the clapping and singing, though at some moments louder than at others, and nlore antiphonal and concerted. To the right from where we stand, in the corner made by the tomb and the little Copt chapel, is a group of Copt women in robes of black, with children, and some older men, looking sedate and de- vout, a pleasant contrast to the clamor! For a few minutes the shouting has ceased; but 1 cannot note the fact before they have begun again, clap, clap; yell, yell, yell Now the time of the miracle approaches. A flame from heaven is to be communicated to the expectant world. As a preliminary to this, sacred manifestation there is a new, wild outburst of cries and screams. We are told that it is the Jerusalem worshipers, who pound with their fists their fellow-Christians of Joffa, and drag and jerk them away one by one from the window where the celestial fire is to appear. At two o'clock the Greek patriarch approaches with banners and attendants. He comes from the Greek chapel, near the door of the Holy Sepuleher. The excitément in- tensifies. The noise is frightful, and the vociferous scrambling in front of the Greek window of the Sepulcher is a thing of amazes ment. Men, standing on the shoulders of the crowd, screech words of religious greeting, -- "This is the tomb of Christ" darting a finger at the tomb itself with every repetition. Now the procession moves; those nearest THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1900. the crowned patriarch join hands about him to prevent violence or accident. Three times they wind about the tomb. Two Officially appointed carriers of the light appear mn front of the window, and the man who has stood THEIR HEATHEN BELIEFS AND BAR- PACIFIC COAST INDIANS] with his arm extended into it gives place to them, and stands by, shouting with the rest. Increasing noise. A seeker of the divine fire climbs up ou the side of the Sepulcher, sup- porting himself by a rope around a The crown is removed from 'the head of the patriarch and carried back into the Greek chapel. Now he enters the tomb. He leaves, we are told, in the outer. tomb, or Chapel of the Angels, a Greek bishop and an Armenian bishop or priest; he then goes into the inner tomb, where the visible divinity is to be com- municated to him. He is to hand the light from heaven to both of the attendant priests, and they 'are to give it out through the two windows at the sides. The noise swells like a tempest. A burst of sound--the clanging eof bells and stricken bars of metal! A flash at the Greek window. The fire has come! One wild rush, one high- pitched, multitudinous scream, still the ex- cited clanging, and out springs the light over the frantic human mass, leaping from hand to hand, as if each flame were lightning and music. Around and up and over and through, till flame is added to flame, spreading from candle to candle, and floor to gallery. Now a priest appears on the roof of the Sepulcher itself, and the flame runs around the top like a crown of fire. Higher it springs--drawn by a rope up to the people at the base of the dome. It illuminates the most distant and dungeon-like vaults, the chapels above and be- low, every vantage-ground where the spec- tators have stood or crouched on the floor, or in temporary ledgments in mid-air, On and on sounds the clangor and the shouting; men, women, and children are mad; they pass their heads over the flame,--is it not from heaven? bow can it do harm---and then draw their hands over their faces, taking the ce- lestial touch in ecstatic adoration. Over a path made clear for the runners from the win- dow already the fire is on its way to the ends of the earth. The Armenian patriarch declared to us later, and without hesitancy, that the Greek patri- arch simply had a lamp on the tomb proper, which he blessed. This kindly old Armenian said to us that it was not miraculous. It was rumored that a prominent visitor was told by the Greek patriarch that he told the people it was only a symbol, and not a miracle. | asked the visitor whether this was trie, and was answered: "No! How could he tell them that? He would be torn to pieces." Intelli- gent Greeks assure you that it is a symbol, j that "holy fire" is the same as "holy water." { The Latins will have nothing to'do with: this, one of the most venerable ceremonies and the most appalling scandal of the Christian world. "At the height of the frensy, as the 'flame leaped 'through the rotunda and lighted the encircling chapels, making more tich:and glit- tering the altars, thie gorgeous vestments, the whiole ecclesiastical 'paraphernalia, the arms and uniforms of thé. sroops, and the many-colored costumes of the mad and motley crowd, the thoanght flashed upon me: Was there ever any- { thing in .a)l Christendom so beautiful and so blasphemous? , Tells of Eskimo Superiosity. Vilbjalimr Stefansson, in writing of his thir- teen months' stdy mmong the Eskimos, tells, in Harper's Magazine, of their. great kindness to & guest who could not pay for his keep, a stranger whose purpose among them they did not know. In an Eskimoé home he had never heard an unpleasant word between a man and his wife, had never see a child punished nor an old person treated inconsider- ately. The household affairs are carried on in an orderly way, and the good behavior ot the children is remarked by practicilly every traveller. In many things we. are the Super- jors of the Eskimo; in a few we are inferiors. The moral value of some of his superiority is small. "He can make better garments against cold than our tailors and furriers; he can thrive in barren wastes where 2 New England- er would starve. But of some of his superior- ity the moral value is great. He has developed Lindividual equality farther than we, he is less selfish, more helpful to his fellows, kinder to his wife, gentler to his child, more reticent about the faults of his neighbor than any but the rarest and best of our race. When Stef- ansson tried to express thanks for their kind- ness in fragmentary Eskimo, they were more surprised than pleased. "Do, then, in the white man's lanl, some starve and shiver while others eat much and are warmly clad?" Little Acts of Love. Andrew Lang. A good-by kiss is a little thing, With your hand on the door to go, But it takes the venom out of the sting Of a thoughtless word or a cruel fling That you made an hour ago. A kiss of greeting is sweet and rare After the toil of the day. And it slows the furrows ploughed by care, The lines on the forehead you once called fair In the years that have flown away. "Tis a little thing to say, "You are kind; 1 love you, my dear," each night; But it sends a shrill through the heart, 1 find-- For Love is tender and Love is blind As we climb life's rugged height. We starve each other for love's caress; We take, but we do not give; It seems so easy some soul to bless, But we dole the love grudgingly, less and less, "Till 'tis bitter and hard to leave. Manager and Public Alike Brutal. Large crowds were attracted to Fun City at I Earl's Court, London, by the announcement that Miss Carrie Baker, a barmaid, would at- tempt to win £50 offered by Harry Woodley to any lady who would dance ip-costume for five minutes in the den pccupied by Brutus, an African lion. She was selected irom the total of 457 aspirants, who had answered an advertisment, and was nervous at first, but encouraged by Beech, the manager, and by Macoa, the boy trainer, who seemed to have control of the animal, she danced a Highland fling for over five minutes. Brutus took a languid interest in the performance. The £50 was duly paid, amid the applause of the au: dience. It was announced that she had been engaged to appear each evening for a month. BAROUS PRACTICES. Witch Doctors Have Had Full Control Over Them--Schools and Colleges Taking the Place of Barbarous Dances and Rites. Christian Herald. . To rightly understand the spiritual needs of the Indians of British Columbia one must know of their heathen beliefs and barbarous practices and the awful bondage they are in to superstitious "medicine men" and "witch doctors." These have full control over them, and keep them in terror all their lives. When an Indian is sick, the "medicine man" is sent for, and his fee piled up in front of him before he begins to practice his arts. When the pile has reached the due proportions, he makes his diagnosis. Squatting by the sick one, he looks wise. He declares the trouble to be witcheraft, or the influence of some "spirit." . If there is cold, or lung trouble, then an enemy has "thrown a coughing spirit into him." If rheumatic pains are apparent, then it is a "gnawing spirit, tearing at his vitals." Many times the diagnosis is that some article has been "thrown into" the patient, This article the crafty doctor has concealed about him, or in some special hiding place--a bit of wood, bark, bone or stone, or a tiny insect er fish. Stripped to the skin, with a belt of rattling objects about his loins, the "medicine man" begins to dance and howl. Drums of skin are beaten, pieces of metal pounded, and kettles yond hollow logs drummed upon, until there is a perfect bedlum of uneouth noises, to "drive cut the evil spirit." A "strong medicine man" claims to be able to raise the dead by his magic. The wild incantations go on for days, until the sick recover or die--more often the latter. ' Often the medicine man pounces upon the patient and manipulates the afflicted part of his body, kneading, pummeling and sucking at the flesh until he draws blood. This is an evidence that he is on the trail of the "evil spirit." When he thinks it time tar complete the cure, he pretends to remove from the ex- Lausted . patient the "spirit thrown into him," and holds up to the view of his awe-struck admirers the bit of substance that he had claimed was the cause of the sickness. Then comes the "drowning of the spirit," as the "medicine man" plunges the object into a large vessel of water and makes a big com- motion and splashing until the powerful spirit is finally subdued and killed. If the patient recovers then the doctor is indeed a "strong medicine man." If he dies, as is often the case, the "evil spirit," or witchcraft, was stronger than the doctor. Even affer the Ahts have accepted Christ the old superstitions have control over them. One old woman of Tsiquadra, feeling death near and wishing to save her relatives trouble, went to the cave where their dead were laid, and died there. Another of Clo-oose, being aged and blind, was carried to a cave 'and left there to die. The missionaries learned of it, and, compelled the Indians to bring her back. They cared for her, and she became one of the converts, living eleven years after her strange experience. The Ahts do not bury their dead, but place them on the ground, building small houses over them; in caves, or in the branches of high trees. They will never use anything be- longing to one who is dead; all possessions ace placed around the burial plage or thrown into the sea. At the foot of a tree in which is deposited the body of an Ahousat chief are laid a large cabinet organ, and other articles of good furniture, while the tree is draped with blankets, webs of cloth, clothing, éte. Food is placed near the burial place for weeks, to satisfy the hunger of the departed spirit. The Clayoquots have an island on .which 'is laid their dead, called "Dead Man's Island." It is covered with all kinds of articles of furniture, clothing, and other belongings of tie dead. A young woman who had been educated at the Clo-opse Mission was drow- ned. She had a nice home, well furnished, and the best of clothing, bedding and comforts. Although she was a Christian, her heathen relatives burned the house and its contents, and threw her personal possessions--silver, thina, jewelry, etc.--into the ocean. Singular marriage customs prevail, the girls still being objects of barter, their pricé vary- ing accordingly to their tribal position, beauty, virtue or industry. The whole tribe joins in the negotiations, the groom's relatives camp- iuig before the house of the bride-to-be. They dance, scream, howl, sing and make a verit- able pandemonium. hey personate animals, with realistic bellowings, barkings and other noises. When the proper time comes, the parents of the girl yield their consent, and the tribe unite in feastings and revelry. The price of the brideZis spent in providing the feast. and many a young couple have to slave for years to pay off the indebtedness incurred at the marriage. There are no marriage cere- 1taonies, the man being simply received "into the girl's family. Christianity is bringing blessings and liberty to the women, as it always does in heathen nations. Schools and churches are taking the place of the ancient barbarous dances and rites. The young people are especially becoming civilized and adopting the new methods of domestic life and religious belief. It is only to one who seeks their soul's salvation, and strives to enter into their lives with the true desire 10 elevate them, that the Indians give their confidince. To the devoted missionaries has been given the highest privilege--that of beholding new-born souls struggling forth from the darkness of heathenism into the ~hglorious light of the Gospel. ------------ The Hope of South Africa. In view of the proposed federation of the six South African colonies, Lord Milner, when High Commissioner of South Africa, secured the appointment of the African Native Affairs Commission. [It consisted of eleven statesmen of repute, who represented the six divisions. They were men of great colonial experience, administrators, teachers, traders and farmers. Missionaties were not represented. They spent twa and a half years in collecting evi- deuce, summoned many witnesses, and wel- comed all who wished to be examined. In their report they unanimously 'declared that the natives must be educated and civilized; One Mountain to Another. Hamilton Spectator. . . | Montreal has had an earthquake. A city as | wicked as Montreal seems to be certainly in | need of some sort of shaking up. | Every great reform effected has consisted, | not in doing something new, but in undoing something old that the only people who have tried to elevate them are the missionaries and some Christian families; and that hope for the elevation of the native races must depend mainly on their acceptance of Christian faith and morals.
