MAJ. W. H. HASTINGS TRAVELS IN
THE HOLY LAND.
An Entertaining Story of the Holy Cities—Jaffa the
Port to Which Hiram Dragged the Cedars of Leb-
anon for the Temple at Jerusalem—dJerusalem
the Ancient—Travels by Boat and Rail Interwoven
in a Clever Tale.
In Jerusalem we lived in a hotel built in
the garden of Joseph of Arimathea. When
I opened my window next morning to the
boiling sun, I looked out on the tower of
David, and as I took my matutinal tub I
thought I could hear King David, over
there on the balcony, pinching his harp
while flirting with Uriah’s wife across the
way. She became David’s queen and was
the mother of Solomon.
The Jaffa gate for the tourist is the cen-
tre of Jerusalem. Here at all hours is
assembled a motley and picturesque crowd
of Syrians, Arabs, Bedouins, Levantines
and Jews each in his distinctive costume.
An excellent description, in detail, of this
Vanity Fair is contained in Ben Hur. Con-
trasted with the bright colors of Syrians
and Arabs were the dirty ‘‘gaberdine’’ and
black wide-awake hat of the Yemen Jew,
a seedy, uncanny creature, whose love-
locks, a long ringlet in front of the ear,
make him conspicuous and ridiculous.
Sturdy Armenians, admirable men, fierce
Kurds and beautiful, rosy cheeked, gaud-
ily dressed damsels from Bethlehem con-
trasted with the dignified Spanish Jew,
and the Pharisee, as of old, in rich purple
velvet cloak and fur hat.
When I came down to breakfast I strolled
out towards the Jaffa gate and there I found
Dr. Shoemaker. The doctor and the
Bishop came with me to see the sights. I
had studied Jerusalem in 97 during three
weeks and they insisted that I should play
pilot.
The open space in front of the hotel repre-
sents almost all there is modern, within
the walls, of Jerusalem. Dominated by the
high, massive walls and towers of David’s
castle, now a Turkish barracks, are many
shops, dealing in objects of piety, two
hotels, a beer kneipe, and the ticket office
with the familiar name Cook over the door.
In David street was a company of Tar-
kish soldiers, in line. Some were bare
foot, others wore slippers with no stock-
ings, some wore top boots. In physique the
Tarkish soldier is a magnificent, well-
shaped, broad-shouldered, tall animal, who
intellectually a mummy, obeys orders he-
lieving that killed in battle he goes straight
to the bosom of Allah. The company tailor
and an officer were inspecting the uniforms
and the tailor where he found a patch nec-
essary was making a chalk mark. Knees,
shoulders and the seat of war were being
decorated with cabalistic signs. They
must get repaired to receive the German
Kaiser!
David street the principal thoroughfare,
is very narrow, paved with slippery cobble
stones; the descent is rapid by a series of
terraced steps. The bazaar with vaulted
roof, and dark recesses usually large enough
to contain a man. is peopled by shop keep-
ers who are scarcely distinguishable in the
dim, uncertain light. They sit among
their goods, smoking nargileks, and gossip-
ing with visitors or purchasers. Four per-
sons would have difficulty walking abreast
between the rows of shops.
The roofs of the streets, of canvass and
wood serve a double purpose; they shut
out the sun and keep in the unfrangipanni
aroma of sewage. Distances are not great
in Jerusalem and soon we emerge into a
flood of golden light into the square in front
of the church of the Holy Sepulchre.
Coming through this street is like run-
ning the gauntlet.
“Balak!” “Take care!”
donkey hoy in a shrill voice.
“Balak’’ shouts hoarsely the dervish
camel driver, while the ‘‘ship of the desert,’
swinging contemptuously his long flexible
neck places gingerly his pudding feet;
“stand from under or get crushed!”’
Nowhere, except perhaps in Cairo or Con-
stantinople, can be found, in so narrow a
space, such a roaring tide of life and color,
such a motley assemblage of races, religions,
costumes and characters.
The peasant, bare-legged and bare- breast-
ed, with sandals on his feet and bright
shawl on his head, rubs elbows with the
gnarled faced Bedouin, gaunt, picturesque
and stealthy in mein. The stolid Turk,
the sturdy Armenian, the gloomy Kopt,
the negro, intelligent Abyssinian, the rosy-
cheeked, unveiled damsel from Bethlehem,
the fanatical Softa, the sleek crafty Jew,
the unkempt, greasy, disgusting Russian
pilgrim, a woman, a wabbling, strutting
thing, tawdry in paint and finery, the
wiley Greek,——these are drops in the
stream of humanity which surges through
the Jerusalem Bazaar.
The square before the church of the Holy
Sepulchre is full of vendors of mementoes—
Icons for the Russians and Greeks, dried
flowers from Gethsemane, carved mother of
pearl from Bethlehem, crowns of thorns,
and olive wood from the neighboring
Mount. In the sunlight you are glad to
get a breath of fresh air, after traversing
this maze of evil-smelling alleys of in-
describable filth.
At the door is the native guard, five or
six Turks seated in a recess reading, smok-
ing, drinking coffee, dozing.
They are all armed. The guard is nec-
essary in order to prevent disturbances
among the Christians who are in a chronic
condition of warfare, as to the rights of
way and the possession of a fixed number
of square feet within these sacred walls.
The guard carry the instruments of jus-
shouts the
tice in their belts!
Crossing the entrance, about a foot from
the ground is the stone of Anointment, on
which the body of Jesus laid when it was
anointed by Nicodemus, a flat slab some
four feet wide by eight long. This the de-
vout pilgrims kneel and kiss before passing
into the Rotunda which covers the sepul-
chre.
A Greek service was proceeding at the
time of our first visit, and a crowd waited
around the narrow entrance to the gaudily
over decorated tomb of our Saviour. The
first low arch led to the Angels chapel
which a dozen persons would fill.
A still lower archway at the end opened
into the sepulchre itself which is almost
entirely covered with marble. On the
right to the height of about three feet rises
an altar-like tomb. The devout pilgrims
kiss and rub their faces right and left on
these pieces of flat stone. As the interior
only measures six and a-half feet long by
six feet wide, very few are admitted at a
time. Above the tomb of the Son of Man
hang some forty lamps, which are never ex-
tinguished, which belong to the Christian
sects holding recognized positions in the
church.
A Greek priest is continually present to
set up the ex-vofo candles which are taken
in. He sprinkled our hands with rose
water,—much needed to drown the fumes
of the oil and sewage, gave us a sprig or
flower, ostensibly from the garden of Geth-
semane, and then passed around the plate
for contributions!
The Greeks were celebrating mass and we
went over into their portion of the church
which they claim corresponds to the centre
of the earth. Busily engaged looking at
the altars and icons, vulgarly resplendent
with gold, a mitred priest wearing a cap
like an inverted cartouche passed the plate
for backschich, and, as we did not disburse
as quickly as he desired he exclaimed test-
ily; ‘‘Payez ou sortez,”’ Pay or get out!
The Latins, for a consideration, permit-
ted us to wield the sword of Godfrey de
Bouillon, and the Armenians showed us
where was placed the true Cross. Imme-
diately at the back of the sepulchre isa
tiny chapel devoted to the Copts, and close
by, in rock hewn tombs, are preserved
Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus.
Then we descended to the gloomy chapel
of St. Helena, to whose piety and purse we
owe the collection of so many historic and
sacred sites within such an incredibly
small area.
We ascended to the Mount of Calvary,
and were shown the position of the crosses,
and the cleft in the rock which reaches the
centre of the earth! The genial priests
showed us altars and chapels to the Virgin
and to many saints. The Impenitent as
well as the Penitent thief has each a chapel.
Traditions, myths and fables have so over-
laid what should be the most sacred spot
in the world, that one turns away with
deepest sadness akin to disgust.
As we left the church of the Sepulchre
we met coming in Monsieur Pavia, the
Potentate in Jerusalem of France, of the
Vatican, with a numerous suite. Di. Shoe-
maker, asked him ‘‘why all waiters and
Jews are flat-footed?’’ The suite of priests
formed a circle around the doctor and look-
ed with pity and compassion on the poor
deli. The deli in Turkey is an object of
superstitious respect, of sacred horror. The
primitive minded Turks consider insanity
as a divine, a supernatural accident, and an
irresponsible fool is sure of their protec-
tion.
Monsieur Pavia assured the doctor he
had never thought of it but he would take
into consideration the question of why
waiters and Jews are flat footed, and then
passed majestically, on giving the doctor
his blessing as he went.
From the roof of the church of the Sepul-
chre we had a magnificent view. The city
is isolated on all sides by deep ravines,
vast natural rents that make it a splendid
fortress.
Every pulse beats quicker at this view of
Jerusalem, which it has been tersely said
is the history of Earth and Heaven.
No monument of ancient Egypt, no ruin
of old Rome gives one such a sense of pro-
found antiquity as this city set on a hill,
the ancient city of Zion, from which the
glory is, indeed, departed. It belongs to a
world of bygone centuries.
As a sauce piquante to our visit a low-
browed monk, who was with the Bishop,
told us that only a few years ago a harem
existed on the roof of this sacred edifice!
Many priests live in the church of the
Sepulchre.
Looking to the East is the valley of
Jehosophat, heyond is the picturesque
Mount of Olives, crowned by the Russian
church, (which is believed to be an arsenal, )
this side of the mountains of Moab, which
in the dancing sunlight look like blue
clouds, are dead and damned Sodom and
Gomorroh. In between you see a streak
and a blotch of silver,—the Jordan which
runs into the Dead sea and the desert, and
gets lost.
The Dead sea is 4000 feet below us and
fourteen miles distant. Between Jerusalem
and the Dead sea the country looks like a
mass of immense billows, a cooled-down hell
cauldron of roasted rocks, gigantic waves
of molten stone suddenly fixed, render-
ed immoveable. The imagination is crush-
ed by the desolation-of that petrified ocean.
We made a three week’s stay in Jerusa-
lem, long enongh to fall into regular habits
of occupation and amusement, to becowe,
for the time being, ‘‘men about town."
Gradually you lose the enthusiasm which
you felt when you trod the sacred soil for
the firat time, and it will then seem strange
to you, to find yourself so completely sur-
rounded by the designs and sounds of
religion. Your hotel seems a monastery,
your rooms are cells, the landlord a stately
abbott, and the waiters are flat-footed,
hooded monks.
If you walk out of the town you find
yourself in the valley of Jehosophat, or on
the Mount of Olives, or the Hill of Evil
Counsel. If you mount a horse and extend
your rambles you will naturally be guided
to the wilderness of St. John, Jericho, the
Dead sea, or the birth place of our Saviour,
Your club is the great church of the Holy
Sepulchre where you meet everybody you
know every day. If you lounge through
the town your Chestnut street, is the Via
Dolorosa. Would you hear music? it must
be the chanting of friars. If you look at
pictures you see overfed virgins with chub-
by foreshortened arms, or devils out of
perspective, of angels in impious, acrobatic
positions tumbling in the skies.
In the long evenings you read your Bible,
stay in your hotel, for the streets of Jerusa-.
lem in the night are dangerous.
The more you see of the holy places the
more you doubt the accuracy of their loca-
tion. A tourist in the church of the Holy
Sepulchre inguires of his guide.”” How
long does it take to go to Mount Calvary?”’
and the guide answers pointing, ccco lo, it
is up stairs on the first floor. You ascend
and then you are shown the now golden
sockets in which the crosses of our Lord
and the two thieves were fixed! These are,
to say the least, geographical surprises
which puzzle the Bible student.
He is surprised to learn that the church
of the Sepulchre comprises all the spots
associated with the closing career of our
Lord. The guide points out continuing;
there, on your right, He stood and wept;
by the pillar, on your left He was scourged ;
on the spot just before you he was crown-
ed with the crown of thorns; up there He
was crucified, and down here He was
buried! Even the spot where the cock crew
when Peter denied his Master is fixed and
surrounded by the walls of an Armenian
convent! In the Via Dolorosa there is a
record of the stones, painted and number-
ed, which should have cried out!
I am somewhat of a ‘‘doubting Thomas’’
and am not convinced as to the certainty of
the spot where the cock crew!
The strife of the contending sects for the
ownership of these sacred spots is no less
ridiculous. In this diplomatic warfare the
Greek church has signally triumphed, and
the most famous of the shrines are in the
care of their priesthood. They possess, for
instance, the golden socket in which stood
the cross of our Lord, whilst the Latins are
obliged to content themselves with the
apertures in which were inserted the crosses
of the two thieves! Regular diplomatic
contracts are carefully treasured at the
Vatican, Paris, and St. Petersburg specify-
ing what particular days and hours the
Latins sweep out the sanctuary, and when
the Greeks, and defining, to a centimetre,
the limits beyond which scrubwater may
not be thrown!
One day, it was a Friday, we followed a
Latin procession along the so called Via
Dolorosa, a prayer being offered at each
station of the Cross up to the Calvary in
the church of the Holy Sepulchre. A Tur-
kish soldier, fully armed, carrying a Mar-
tini-Peabody (he handed it to me to ex-
amine!) led the way. There were about
one hundred followers, some being well
dressed women.
The majority kneeled at each station,
kissing the ground, despite the filthy con-
dition of the streets and alleys traversed.
In the procession was a lunatic, a French-
man, with a waxed mustache, dressed in a
white robe, his head bearing a crown of
thorns, a great cross on his shoulder. He
marched from station to station, falling
where Jesus fell, stopping where he stop-
ped and thus up to the Sepulchre. where
Jesus was put in the tomb. The Bishop
and I concluded that he deserved to be the
victim of the rest of the tragedy.
