Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ride Through PalestineEgypt's low shores sink beneath the horizon while our strong French steamship ploughs her way through the rolling blue of the Mediterranean, north-eastward toward the Land of Canaan. 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 PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Journey to Palestine Pompeu, being covered with ashes and Cinders from the Vesuvian locomotive. 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 A Lady's Ride Through Palestine and Syria: With Notices of Egypt and the Canal of Suez At three o'clock the vessel sailed, and we wended our way to Messina. The sunset that evening was splendid, betokening a continuance of fine weather. The bishop and his six followers had arrived; and we had, besides, three priests all second-class passengers. The bishop, the doctor, captain, and our two selves, formed our cabin party. The shores of Naples and its vicinity - Castel lamare, Sorrento, &c., were fast disappearing with the daylight, which had, however, given us a fine view of Capri and its rocky island-bridges. \vhen we rose next morning, we found ourselves nearing the Calabrian shore, and shortly discerned Scylla, and, on the other hand, the low point of Charybdis. Messina then opened upon us, with its fine harbour crowded with vessels, and the line of magazines and stores forming a range of stone buildings, and architectural front to the sea; the Cathedral and other buildings appearing just above the line of these roofs, and the whole backed by the mountains, covered with vines and olive and orange-trees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land That Is Desolate: An Account of a Tour in Palestine There is no harbour at Jaffa, but in its place a dis orderly reef of black, jagged rocks, running parallel with the beach. These make a rude breakwater under the lee of which small boats find a shelter. A narrow gap in the middle of this stockade of stones provides access to the open sea. It is the dash through this gap that gives the final terror to the process of landing. 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.
