top. Most of the people that live about here are Mahommedans. But there are also some Christians among them. One of our missionaries, Mr. Hefter, used to live here.

We may now pass along the wall to the Damascus gate. This is the most grand looking of all the entrances into Jerusalem. There are several chambers near it, in which are curious old stones. It is more lofty than any of the other gates. From the top of it there is a good view of the valley of the Tyropœan.

In the next number we may conclude our ramble about Jerusalem.

FORWARD.

"FORWARD let the people go,”
Israel's God will have it so ;
Though the path be through the sea,
Israel, what is that to thee?

He who bids thee pass the waters,
Will be with His sons and daughters.

Deep and wide the sea appears:
Israel wonders, Israel fears;
Yet the word is "Forward" still:
Israel! 'tis the Master's will;
Though no way thou canst discover,
Not one plank to float thee over.

Israel, art thou sorely tried?"
Art thou press'd on every side?
Does it seem as if no power
Could relieve thee in this hour
Wherefore art thou thus disheartened
Is the arm that saves thee shortened?

Stand thou still this day, and see
Wonders wrought, and wrought for thee:
Safe thyself on yonder shore,

Thou shalt see thy foes no more.

Thine to see the Saviour's glory!

Thine to tell the wondrous story!

THE MISSION FESTIVAL.

GOD's work is a blessed work. It is therefore a blessed thing to be allowed to take a part in it. When we feel this, it will cause joy in our own souls. We shall take pleasure in sharing that joy with others. And when we rejoice together, it will cheer us, and lead us to press on in doing that part in the work which our heavenly Father has given us to do.

In Germany, in all the places where there are good ministers of the Gospel, they are in the habit of having what they call their "Missionfest." This means a Mission Festival. At those times there are many who come to tell of what the Lord is doing in the conversion of souls. They speak about the work which is going on at home, and the work which is going on abroad, both among Jews and Gentiles.
