Haifa to Beirut. Part of this dri e
"J14r on the hard sand of the sea
shore where fishermen were easting
their nets. On that particular 'day
we had luncheon under a carob tree
,.in view of the ancient city of Tyre.
“Beirut surprised us by it's pros
perity and progress, and its many i
Europeans. The American Univer-j
sity with its beautiful location, fine !
buildings and lt!00 students of many!
nationalities, would be a credit to j
any city in any country. The school
has a great influence with the Mos- ’
lenis and Christians alike.*
“The trip from Beirut to Baal
bek is one of the greatest scenic
drives of the world. It takes one
rapidly front tropical gardens up to
the Lebanon range of mountains
and offers superb views of the red
roofed city of white houses juttfiJig
into the blue Mediterranean.
Damascus Beautiful at Distance
“At Baalbek there are pictur
esque and stupendous ruins of vast
Homan temples dating from the
second century A. D. Baalbek takes
ite name from the worship of Baal,
the sun .god. The Romans were !
I- ter, as well as other temples t
, i Bacchus and Venus. There vv
i heard a lecture by Professor Alou:
i a Syrian, who has given his life t
' i research work nnd*to writing abou
I ftliese ruins.
’ “From Baalbek to Dainaseui
, I which is said to be the oldest eit
t in the world, the drive is on a hig
. | plateau between the snowy Ml
„ j Hermon and Mt. Sannin and th
many-colored Lebanon and Anti
Lebanon ranges.
“We had come into an arid land
and looking down from a desolati
i hillside we could see the green ova
[ of Damascus with its blossoming
I fruit trees—an oasis made by tin
A ban a and Pharphar in the deser
| circling it.
j “The city looks more beautifu
| from this distance than it doe:
at close view. It is old and dust)
| and has hidden its beauties behinc
| dull walls. We saw wide gaps ir
tin: city made by the ill-advisetl
French attack. French soldiers
were about the city in gieat num
bers, many of them natives or Af
ricans under French commanders.
Arab Love Song Quite Different
“There,are more Hebrews of the
Ancient type here than in Jerusa
lem. Men of different tribes and
religions, wearing distinctive cos
tumes, ore always thronging the
! squares, anti camel trains file in
and out the narrow streets. Ba
zaars are full of hammered brasses
with intricate designs, enameled
■ metals, and Persian rugs and Da
: mascus blades.
“Another wonderful drive took us
to the Sea of Galilee. It was a
beautiful sight as it lay below us,
sparkling blue anti surrounded by
rose and amethyst cliffs.
“Our impression of Nazareth was
pleasant. The well-built stone town
is inhabited by Christians of the
Greek and Roman churches. Sweet
faced women could be seen working
at their iuce making or threading
their way about the town carrying
jars, bread trays or baskets on their
heads. They still draw water from
Mary’s Well.
“A. young Syriac, who had been
in America, a student at Columbia,
sang an Arab love song for us. His
song was throbbing and piaintiw
and ended quite suddenly on a high
note. I asked him what were the
words and he replied, “Oh night!
oh night! oh night! Oh beloved! oil
beloved! oh beloved!”
x»cuouin nuspmamy .Noted
“We visited a home of sonie of
the poorer peasants where a large
room was divided into two parts:
one was raised and floored for the
family, and the other was a lower
dirt area fro the cow and other
animals. At night a matting is laid
on the floor and thin mattresses are
placed for beds. The mattresses
arc piled in a high wall niche to
keep them clean during the day.
Even this family had a little sep
arate. onc-foomed house for guests.
“Hospitality toward guests was
also illustrated by some Bedouins
whom we visited near the Head Sea.
The sheikh urged us to enter under
his black lean-to tent and to sit
on ;the mattresses spread for us.
These were placed on the desert
sand, in ,the midst of wandering
chickens and dirty children. We
found an excuse to photograph the

n “Jerusalem is so situated on the
t hills that it forms a . picturesque
scene to the traveler as he ap
’ proaehcs the city. Here no saw an
’ interesting contrast of the ancient
and the modern. Before us an im
mouse crowd had gathered with
rows and rows of autos beside a
great aviation fitfld where two fine
new planes were taking off on their
| initial flight. Autos, however, can
! not go inside the walls since the
streets, are narrow and steep.
[ “We walked in through Jaffa
Gate, along David street and 'then
j by Christian street to Hotel St.
i John, which is near the Church of
| the Holy Sepulchre. Jerusalem is
| in four quarters, the Jewish, the
| Moslem, Armenian and the Ohris
I tian. To these must be added the
[modern city outside the walls where
j Americans and Europeans live.
Sees “Wall of Wailing”
“One of the picturesque sights in
the Jewish_ quarter is the Wall of
[Wailing, where on Fridays the Jews
[gather to bewail the lost glory of
i Israel and to supplicate for its re
I turn. They stand beside the wall!
°f the temple area, praying and I
chanting, touching or kissing the
I wall, while they keep up a slow
; rhythmic swaying from side to side.
| “The descendants of the ancient
-Jews wear goberdines (the big full
| robe) and flat caps bordered with
thick black fur. They let their
hair grow to the neck and always
wear one long corkscrew curl hang
ing before each ear.
“We climbed up on the walls of
Jerusalem and walked around to
i tjhe Temple Area. In this area, the
site of Solomon’s temple, is the fa
mous Mosque of Dinar, now called
the Dome of the Hock. It is one of
the most perfect examples of Mos
lem art, wonderful in simplicity of
outline and in richness of 'mosaics. I
II-has been called ‘undoubtedly, the
finest building in Asia’. I can say
that, it is the finest! building I have
[seen in Asia, and that its mosaics
[are the most beautiful I have seen
[anywhere. The spacious area about
it provides a setting unequaled by
“It is interesting and strange
Hint, the preservation of this site
should be due to the reverence felt
for it by Mohammedans who have
woven their own legends around the
great rock where was once the He
brew altar of burnt offerings. Spe
cialists from the American School
of Archaeology, who were with us,
j told us about the recent findings,
j making the scene even more vivid
I for us.
| I aiestine is full of color and va
ticty. I here is a sharp contrast
of elevation between the Mf. of
Olives, on which one stands :>l)00
feet above the sea, and the Dead I
Sea, which he looks down upon, l.'lOO !
feet below sea level. There is a
wide contrast between Jaffa!
oranges (the most delicious 1 ever
tasted) and tin1 Dead Sea fruit. !
These instances are typical of the
diversities that are always present-’
ing themselves to the traveler in
this little land, so full of associa
tions. ”
