U. ; this No. 8. 1916 I S YO UR ID W C L L C R S in t h e d c s e r t 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. BLOOD RICH? 7 About the professional horse breed­ er I shall have little to say.
