Sri Orate Fatesnst—l stud] keep a journal-of my
visit in Bums, that you May be acquainted with
this frontier nation of our mission, and that you
may see how great need there is of your earnest
prayers in behalf of this degraded people.. We ar
cired,bere on Thursday, April 14. Bums is a low
City, situnted at the northeast of the tango - ofLeba.
Man i on the river Orontes. It is situated on it Taft
plain,-which stretches to the north and cast.' The
ancient city of flarnath stands one day's jowl* tow
ard the north. The ruins of Palmyra are two days'
journey to the eanwat i -d—Darnascus is three days'
to the southward.
-The plain intervening between these cities, is cov
ered With hoides or tribes of wild ,children of the
desert, 0 whose hand is against every man."
Thq mail route passes from Damascus to' Hums,
but the post is freqUentlY so turned from his course
by these Bedouins, that the mails are very irregular,
while no one would venture on the road to Palmyra
Ding to the eastward, without a princely fortune to
bribe these plundering AMbs, or as the Arabic: has
it;:" to feed the hurigry robl)ers." About three years
ago, a German lady of rank, with her daughter,- un
der the care of the/French Consul at Tripoli, accom
plished the journey to Palmyra ;. but it cost her -sev
eral thousand dollars. There is a beautiful lake ly
ing near Hunts, an enlargement of the river Orontes.
It is only two hours distant and we were quite desi
rous of visiting it, but Could not on account of the,
Bedouins who were encamped 'near it.. Hums itself
is not a very attractive city. The most of the 'house
es hare mud walls, like the mountain houses,find the
minarets and walls of Meaty and the pavenients
are a black stone, which gives the city a very
(lAA:, sombre appearance. ;
I have spoken of the vast plain upon which Hums
stands ; this is now and then broken by singular
Raking mounds, hem thirty to sixty, feet high, !and
in'shape like an inverted bowl. They.are said to be
exact resmnblances of the Indian mounds at' the
West At the south vet corner of the city wall,
there are the rains of an ancient military structure
of great strength. 'Henry thinks it probable it jw.
built as early as the time of the Romans, and per
haps ini r liV times of the ancient' Assyrians.ybe
huge mound is fuThof rooms and recesses within„;and
the aides are still in some prices covered. with huge
blocks of stone. There are found, in the 'mini of
the towers, huge columns of.granite, which must
have been brought from Egypt. , Throughout the city,
ire frequently stumble uponthrise columns, built in
to the mud *walls, or placed as Support* to some
more modern building.. Just without the city walls .
is a ruin; the walls of which are made of an elegant
-mosaic work of white and black Stones. The build
ing must have been of great elegance, but now large,
portions of the Walls lie broken on. the ground near
by. twit- buildings were built of burned bri'cits,

our COUStli rebuked this dignitary, and his counte•
nance fell, and his whole manner changed, and he
went off in anger. The visit was returned the same
day, after a few boors, as is 'the custom of the coun
try. The Syrian or Jacitbite bishop came, he said,
to have a friendly talk; but be began by abusing the
missionaries, calling theuravening Wolvmt, and said
if an angel Trom heaven' should declare them true
ehristiaus,he would not believe it. No one but. him.
'self could speak a word, and he shouted and declntm
ed so vociTerouily that be silenced anyone who wish.
ed to speak. Of the Greek Siskoplt is said that
when a monk in the convent, his donkey persisted
in eating the grass from a plot near the door, and he
hung the donkey. on a tree in front of his door. Ile
curses in the church nh with go to Mr. Wilson's
house; be curses and excommunicates Mr.
that
himself; and we were all greatly surprised that he
should be prevailed upon to visit his house at all.—
At the time of our visit, the close of Lent took place,
and the Churches of the native christians were scenes
of the mosOpainfully ludicrous exhibitions. We all
attended the Syrian or Jacobite 'Church, to see the
representation of Christ wailing the disciples' feet.
The church is poor—they ha ye not many priests—,
not enough to personate the twelve diaciples.Eo set..
eral wild fellows Grim the congregation, were selected
to make out the • number. The service'-was read
pertly in Syriac, which no one Understood, and part
ly in Arabic. The Bishop was clad in elegant robes,
and wore a crown el gold, and before•he commenced
washing, " took a towel and girded 'himself" The
"twelve" were seated about in 'a
circle, and were ap
parentiy enjoying their apostolic position. One cull.
ed opt, "Come, old Father, hurry up your reading
there;" and anothet said, "Come, I want my feet
washed; I dont want any more gospel" Another,
addressing his companion on the opposite side of the
ring, said, Oh, thou Judas Iscariot, you had better
stop laughing, you old sinner!" (Ans.) "I tun not
Judas Iscariot, but you ure yourself." This was the
style of conversation among these apostolical tept:e.
sentatives. Ater a long introductory •sertice, the
washing at last mammeneed. I should have told you
that these twelve were clothed in handsome robes to
represent their rank. The- washing was rather so ,
perticita--a few drops of water on the instep( which
Was immediately washed off, nod a drop of oil poured
on the spot, and that wiped off again with a bit of
cotton. The bishop bad finished eleven, and he
came to one, personating Peter, who said; "-Thou
shalt not wash my feet." "Except I wash thee,"
said the bishop, "thou hest no part with' me;" and
he then permitted him to proceed. While this was
taking place, the people were crowding up to the
circle and pressing and fighting to get a sight of the
operation, and the amiable tishop would frequenT
tam ,
stop to call to them, "Keep still, 0 children
" Keep still, it dogs," and Make the greatest exer
tions to make then) sit dawn. No seats are prove
iu the churches, except for the performers. Tile
worshippers stand. At the close of the washing, otte•
of the priests washett.the feet of the bishop, and they
proceeded to "exalt him who hadthus tteetrabued.
The bishop seated himself in his nice arm chair, and
he was lifted upon tbo shoulders of the people and
borne three tiute.s about the church in the name ,of
the Father, Son, and the . holy Ghost. Ile was fol
lowed by the crowd, att.d men bearing cymbals and
other noisy instruments, and making a great noise.
The women in their close galleries began waking an
outcry is a shrill, piercing tone—like nothing you ev
eehear at home. While making the Lit round, the
.people began to cry out, "06, Bishcpi give us the
feast. Give us the feast." They all knew that the
feast would come on the following Sabbath, but he
said to them, "Take:the feast then next Sunday, and
clear out every one of you." This was the )benedie.
tion, and with much shouting and rucmiltg over
children, the crowd dispersed. Mr. Jessup and Mr.
Wilson afterward attended a "shoji" at the Greek
church, A:presenting the burial of Christ. After
long preparatory service,-the picture of Christ was
placed in a coffin; carried three times about the church,
while the people were running and scrambling to
touch the coffin or the pall. Some threw their tar
booshes at it, to find a blessing. Once it was car
ried without the church, in order to give the women
an opportunity of being blessed. Many women were
weeping: violently.
, All these ceremonies but tend to sensualize their
religion, and the iguot ant people instead of finding
the thing Signified in all these things, the attention
is taken up with the poor worthless emblems, and
they are to them in the place of Christ. And the
native christinus in Syria are as much idolaters as the
heathen in China and Attila. One morning a
woman carte in to call on us. I asked her if she
knew bow to read. 'She seemed much surprised
that I should ask her, and said, " Why, no—we are
only beasts; no one teaches us." I told her she was
by no means a beast, but was a responsible agent,
and had an intwortal soul of priceless worth. ," But,"
she says, "it is a disgrace fora woman to read." I
then asked her if she knew the Virgin' Mary, and if
she prayed to her. "Oh; yea," she yaiti, and then
repeated a prayer to the Virgin. I tried to tell her
about the Savior, and bow ready he was to receive
PS without any other intercessor. She burst into
tears, and said What can we do? The priests tell
us to pray to the Virgin and make the sign of the
cross„ and.what can are do? We do not know any
better." I begged of her to come and attend the
'preaching, and to come to Mrs. Wilson and learn the
true way of life. It is sitti great joy that I am be-
ginning now to talk with ttie Women about these
things. Do not cease praying Icif theist and. for us
•• that utterance nay Le given unto us,-that we may
open our mouths boldly to make known the myStery
of the gospel."

Oar Journey Home.
We left Mums on Tuesday, Aptfl 26, 'at seven 'IL
M. Our leave , tuking was much more cheerful than
you would suppose, considering we were to, leave a
dear sister alone in this dark city ; but uo expect
such thing., and Mrs. 'Wilson hentelf is a cheerful and
strong-lit:art.:4l woman, though very frail in health.
J hive learned much from her in our short visit 7—
We felt that our-visit had dente them good, and been
in many ways an aid to theta - in their work. Our
coming bad brought More people to the house, and
the missionaries and Mr. Yana have conversed:most
faithfully with them—aside from the cheer and 'cum
fort wettlways felt in each others visits .: We Kad
communion on dieting Sabbath of our daft.
The morning looked like rain. At noon's shower
came up. We stopped to bind; sand coupled off'

ho was not able to do anything • about pitching, the
tent. Sales, however, took the' whole rare of it,
and proved himself so kind and faithful as to win our
hearts. Ile had acted in Hume as Yannis cawasa,
and had so argued with the Grs..elts that 'that they
considered Win a great teacher, as he could silence
'them all in argument. Is the night looked threat:
ening, Saleh went to the .village . at first to
find a house for our accommodation, but prefeired
trusting to the tent. Yanni and his uncle slept at a
native house. Never have I felt the precious value
of Christ's love ancrour heavenly Father's care as
we did that night. Far Lem home, and exposed to
"perils of robbers," with the rain beating. upon our
little tent, and the wind every moment threatening
to tear it up. Itnt.weslept in perfect peace, for our
minds were stayed on Him who ever will protect
those who trust in Him. The rain did not enter the
tent. Toad and Saleh slept ontarde, and were wet
tothikskin. Yanul passed a tablet-able night in the
bent houleithe village aflbnicd The house was a
stable Far tattle—the donkeys, mdves, and people all
sleeping In the same room, and flees in. abundance.
About five o'clock in *hi Morning it jraiued so
hard that 11. concluded we should be obliged to strip
there all day. Ile asked Saleb from the tent bow the
Skiroo44 over the sea. "Ab, licianciji," said be,
" the prospect is a thing of wrath." _Hut it cleared'
up sufficiently to *delft of eurstarting at nine o'clock. i

Psalms from beginning to end every week ih the
church, and yet understood nothing 'about them.—
Such is • the deadening effect of a formal service on
the heart and life. •
Onr second day was rather showery, but the wit '
shower 4 of the "latter rain" only addel-to the •en
joyment,of the ride, protected as we were by our
rubber clothing. We passed over an. extensive,
well watered plain, covered with rich, gre'en ver.
dere, and tinged with the various tints of the , beau=
tiful-wild flowers, as tar as the eye could distinguish.
We reached a slight slope, or elevation, covered .
with trees scattered about, which reminded both 11.
andmyselrof the beautifUl bill near Branchport, as
we look at it from the Bluff Point road. We lunched
among these beautiful oaks, and then pushed on.—
We encamped at a viage about sir hours from Trip.
oh. Our muleteers, who are Moslems, rose at mid
night to eat, as they fast all day, and found a robber
trying to steal Mr. Lyons's beautiful white horse.—
The horse had put himself on the defensive, and 'coy
his loud snorting gave the warning. Several bullets .
were fired at the robber by the men, and he left us.
We had an amusing time in the tent, too. Miss .T.
and I slept on one side, curtained off by the curtain
cloth Aunt - Fanny M. gave us, which hats come, of
use ninny times. IL slept at our feet, and Tenni
and his Uncle on the other side. When, the Mos
lems rose to eat, Sakti - found that the water-had all
been placed inside the tent, and I knew thejai stood
at the head of my bed. Yusef (tle cook) had put
the eggs for breakfast near the jar, and as I tried to
turn the jar in the- dusk to pour ont some water,
crash went the eggs; that sound started 'usef, who
was sleeping outside. " Alt ," groaned he, "I en
treat you, my lady, the eggs! the eggi!" Tenni
struck'a light, and IL came in to help me, and we I
were soon quiet again.
The next day we curried on. I took Miss Tem
ple's donkey, as she was heartily tired of him, and
we reached Tripoli about 3 o'clock, p. m. •
Our route was along the sea coast, and a parcel
the way on the pebbly beach, while the swells of the , .
blue sea broke at onr feet.
We found gr.- Lyons waiting at the: Hums gate,
with several native Mends, I was very Old to see
our dear associates again, who are to us like a broth

ner for us, and better than all, found our box from

The young speaker was - unusually On.

upon nearly every subject in creation. 1 1 To'
display his learning he launched out at large
I upon Socrates andtliolowl of hemlock Which
the Athenians compelled him to drink. The
_subject was new to them. Not one ir?, the
whole audience had ever before heard a , syl.„
table about Athenians, Socrates, or hemlock
in. the course of their lives, and they listened
with open-mouthed interest.. One of them,
unable to restrain his emotion, cried out to
the speaker: " What did they make the twin
drink that nasty pizen truck for?" He an.
swered : " Because he knew more - than his
neighbors." Mr. Nathan Hodge-, a man
past the middle age, dressed in a tan-colored
hunting shirt and coon-skin cap, waited" . to,
hear no more, buerushed out of the court
house as if that stately pile of clapboards had
been on fire.- Uncle Nat, without even stop

His son Ike him at a diitanee,

.:Uncle Nat threw himself from his horse,
and rushing to the house with almost breath
less haste, told his story :
"The Athenians, which meanathe Yankees
