Let us now touch the electric bell, and bring the aproned servant to our relief. But he heeds not the touch. We ring again and again; but, according to Tenny son's Mariana, He cometh not', she said. He never did come. We saw and heard others ring for him; but he never responded. If there is anything in the world a negro hates, it is a bell. Let the ladies speak awhile to this point. The electric bell in the Pullman is an innocent affair, a child-amuser, and a pretty toy; but for the purpose for which it was constructed, it is an ut ter failure and an useless appendage. Just a word more about this flying palace, and we leave it. The eggs gave out in Sout hern Alabama, the tomatoes in North Alabama, the ice was exhausted in Tennessee, and the lemons all departed in Ken tucky. Things are not what they seem, said Longfellow. The names of our Southern rivers, as I have crossed the streams one by one, bring back to memory a number of what were called slavery songs. The Tombigbee, the Tennessee, the Ken tucky, and the Ohio each recalled one or more of these peculiarly pathetic melodies. A frequently recurring expression in them was Way down.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tent and the Khan: A Journey to Sinai and Palestine Fully aware of the number of volumes which of late years have issued from the press on Palestine and the adjoining countries, I long declined to add another to the list. But being still urged by many kind, though I fear too partial, friends, to put into their hands the narrative of a journey undertaken solely for my own private instruction and better comprehension of the topography of Scripture, I have at last consented, in the hope of being thus enabled to minister to others a part of the benefit which I obtained by a personal inspection of localities dear to every Christian heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from To-Day in Palestine NO country has been so much studied by our ablest men and had so much written about it as Palestine. It is, however, an inexhaustible subject. As the land where Jesus lived, taught and died, it will never cease to be in the daily thought of the Christian. And therefore I think there is room for many more vol umes that give to us a fuller knowledge of the land and people. I have written primarily for the traveler. 'a visit to Palestine is no longer a difficult trip made by a few who delight and awe their friends and countrymen on their return. It is no more difficult than a tour in England, except that it is farther away and the coun try is not yet in all respects prepared to furnish the comfort and speed of more advanced lands. Many have made this tour and described it. But I do not think any person, however gifted, can gain a correct knowledge of the land in a single trip. The first trip only opens the way and gives a foundation upon which to build. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travel-Letters From Palestine and the East Every land is holy since God made, and is in and over every land. Still there is a sense in which only one land is holy. And that because its mountains and plains and cities, its fields, flocks and flowers, its peoples and laws and cus toms, are woven into every part of our Bible; because of those holy ones who lived and wrought there for us; and holy because of the divers times and places and manners in which God has here revealed Himself to His people, and through chosen vessels to all the world. But most of all, holy because of that Holy One who here had His cradle and home, His workshop, pulpit and school room, His Golgotha and Olivet. And because of the future when that strangest of people shall turn unto Christ, and when in stead of the ancient city of Jerusalem, now in ruins, the New Jerusalem, which furnished the last and perhaps the most beautiful picture of heaven, shall be let down out of heaven, may Palestine truly be called the Holy Land. To visit this land, walk its ways, commune with its choicest souls in their old homes and in the light of the Land to read the Book, is a privilege to be coveted by any one, and particularly by one whose sole work is to preach the Gospel here revealed. In the good providence of God this privilege came to the writer, and after due provision for home and church, with grateful heart, he left home on March the third for New York.

The sun sets, the night Closes around us, and our motley company of passen gers seek rest in Sleep. The pilgrims to the holy places say a prayer, cross themselves, spread their rugs on the deck and lie down contentedly. The Mohammedans have gone through their afier - sunset devotions, and now they smoke and talk till sleep overtakes them. The saloon-passengers are in no haste to retire, but by ten o'clock they too have gone to their cabins, and the ship is left to the seamen and the sea. We sleep, but through the hours of the night onward drives our ves sel unceasingly to her port. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Pictorial Journey Through the Holy Land Or Scenes in Palestine Classic Reprint written by London Religious Tract Society and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pictorial Journey Through the Holy Land, or Scenes in Palestine One land, and one alone, possesses an absorbing interest for those people of all races, in all parts of the world, who profess the name of Christ. No matter how much their one common tenet of faith in the Redeemer may be obscured by prejudice, or encumbered by superstition, if they believe in Christ at all, their attention will be at once attracted by anything which relates to the land in which the Whole natural mortal life of him, who put on our flesh and dwelt among us, was passed. Year by year, as that land and the districts adjacent to it are further explored, some fresh facts are ever being added to our still imperfect information concerning the localities mentioned in the Bible. Deeply interesting must it be to any Christian to wander throughout the country which was the subject of God's gracious promise to his chosen people. Still more interesting is it to him to see that each new discovery, geographical or archzeological, however trifling in itself, which it maybe his privilege to make, acquires a value altogether disproportionate to its own magnitude, because it bears upon a subject of such vital importance to us all, namely, the truth of every jot and every tittle of God's revealed word. Every such discovery will, he finds, corroborate some assertion, explain some allusion, or Show the falhl ment of some prophecy contained in that book, which we have humbly received as written under the direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit; and thus one more link is added to the long chain of indubitable facts, which proves to us that our faith in the word of God is not credulity, and our trust in the promises of Scripture is not a vain dream.

It is strange that so little true religion, with so faint an acknowledgment of God, exists among sea-faring men, around whom such mighty motives are incessantly gathering.

Book excerpt: NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS Byeways In Palestine This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Among the Holy Places: A Pilgrimage Through Palestine The primary aim of these chapters is to place the reader, in a measure, in the position of the traveller - to let him see the country and the people with his own eyes. At the same time, historical reminiscences are by no means excluded; nor have the results of the latest explorations been ignored. Little space is devoted to disputes on doubtful localities. The traditional Calvary, however, is defended; and the scene of the Transfiguration is probably located at last.
