HAVE come on horseback over
reed-covercd swamps and burning
desert to an enigmatical looking
building which has the shapeless
ness and silence of a ruin, writes a
traveler in the Sahara desert. The
cream-colored walls are lined, patched,
broken, gigantic. It Is a rectangular
fortress. There Is but the entrance,
and that is a small one and heavily
barred. A bell rope hangs down the
wall by the door. Jingle, jangle!
I
ring the bell. There is a long silence
and I ring again. Then a disheveled,
barefooted monk laboriously undoes
the little door In the wall, I present the
letter which I bear from the patriarch,
and I am admitted.
The monks are pleased; all shake
hands. I sit on one divan and five of
them on another. A novice washes
my hands, another brings me a glass
of brown liquid— water full of medlar
fiber In suspension. When I finish
this he brings a glass of pink sugar
water, then coffee all round—thimble
fuls of sweet coffee. The al?bot, a
fine looking fellow with regular fea
tures, broad face, black mustache and
beard, and with an open space show
ing the freshness of the lower lip. Is
talkative. He has a towel wrapped
round his brows for turban, and fin
gers black beads as he talks. Next
to him Is a comfortable looking monk
In a blue smock and a white knitted
skull cap on his head. Next to him,
an old fellow with wizened bare legs
and feet, old yellow rags on his griz
zled head, a ragged black cassock over
his gray underclothes.
"W hat do you do all day?” I asked.
“ Pray, read, sing,” they answered.
“ What do you think of the war?”
“ The war does not touch us. If they
come and kill us we do not mind, but
we pray each day that God will bring
It soon to a close.”
“ I f the Arabs come, what w ill you
do?”
" I f they shoot at us we will throw
bread to them; that will be our reply.”
They Are Christian Fanatics.
There were only sixteen monks, and
Including hermits there would not be
more than 150 of these holy men in
the desert altogether. There remain
but four monasteries, whereas In the
fourth century there were several hun
dred. Seven thousand holy bachelors
and virgins learned of Ammon and his
virgin bride alone. Here lived many
of the most eccentric of the hermits
and world deniers of the early church,
the men who without knowing It gave
Christianity
tremendous
advertise
ment. The men who prayed to God,
kneeling for years on the tops o f high
columns, the men and women who
had themselves bound to crosses or
laden with irons, the saints who
tamed the beasts of the forest, all
gave to Christianity public Interest
and Interesting lore. It became even
fashionable to retire to Nltria and
deny the world. Monasteries sprang
up over the caves and cells of the
saints, and gold and Jewels poured In
to the monasteries.
A rt was bes
towed on the building of new churches,
and celebrated artists painted the fres
coes on the walls. Not an inch of
these little desert temples was left un
covered by Byzantine fresco.
But the Saracen came and murdered
the cultured clergy, and tore away the
Jewels, as was fit, and rolled down
many a wall, wrecked many an altar.
The holy brotherhood was annihilated
and there was a sixty-years’ gap In
history. Then a wilder type of Chris
tian took possession, converted Arabs,
for the moat part, and they knew little
Coptic, and so brought Arabic gospels
and liturgies. They repaired the dam-
ass and put up Arati'c inscriptions.
I
and built round their temples Impreg
nable fortress walls with drawbridges
at a height of forty feet. They with
stood sieges and persisted to this day.
The abbot showed me round the
monastery. The buildings were all a
patchwork of ruin and repairs and
changes. The frescoes had been white
washed out in nearly every part. The
old stained glass, broken and shape
less. was mortared In with new glass.
And yet there was a real odor of
antiquity in the place. The patterns
in the ikons were but dust patterns,
and the face of the Virgin crumbled
away as the abbot took the picture
down to show me. In a niche here
and there left by accident were the
original frescoes in wonderful purple
and crimson, pictures of the saints,
their faces and bodies all of that un
earthly and mystical shape and color
to which the early Christians loved
to attribute citizenship of heaven.
The lectern had a nail on which to
fix the candle. The communion cup
was swathed in the oldest vestments
of the monastery. In a cupboard in
one church they showed me the mum
mies of sixteen patriarchs, unwrapped
one a little and showed me his dry,
brown flesh. The seventeenth patri
arch of the Coptic church is ninety-
four years of age, and will be em
balmed and put with these others In
his turn. Here also In one of the
churches is the mummy of the primi
tive hermit Macarius, once a candy
seller in Alexandria.
The church,
perhaps, took the idea of embalming
the saints from the Egyptians, and
the fresco from the hieroglyph. The
books from which the service Is read
are all copied books, beautiful spe
cimens of calligraphy spattered on ev
ery page In a hundred places with
new and ancient spots of candle
grease. From the vault of one of the
churches hang seven old dusty ostrich
eggs. A monk explained to me that
as the ostrich looks to its egg as the
most precious thing in life, so they
look to God in their prayers— at least
the egg is to remind them.
Bread and Books.
We went into the fortress church,
the only entrance to which Is at a
height of forty feet by a bridge from
the outer rampart. They showed me
how the bridge could be drawn in and
the monks be safe from assault of
arms. Upon the ramparts a novice
had his duty beside a pile of bread
and a stoup of water. When Bedouin
beggars ring the monastery bell he
lowers them bread and water In a
basket. They showed me the Illumi
nated books of a thousand years old,
and the scrivener's cell where, amonr
many quills, a monk still copies the
scriptures day by day. They showed
me one chapel, the floor o f which was
covered with chilles drying, the long
room where every night all the monks
gather about the abbot to read the
gospel and discuss its meanings, and
the massive doors, two feet thick, of
wood and iron.
The monks were most kind, simple
and loving. It was an amusing spec
tacle at lunch. I lunched; everyone
else waited on me. An Abyssinian
boy washed my hands, two monks
shelled eggs all the time and filled
my piste, two others stripped cucum
bers for me, another kept helping me
to hot milk soup In which slabs of
sugar were dissolving.
The abbot
stood above me with a feather brush,
waving the flies off. At one time ther«
were a dozen shelled eggs in my soup
and five pared cucumbers beside me.
I lunched and slept a little. Then
my horse was brought out and I rode
beck to the village on the other aide
of the aalt marshes.
