forgiveness— ait r INTERPRETATION. We bad spent a tireaomeTSiy exploring tbe. shores of Galilee. Nothing but our intense interest in the sea that bent not beneath the feet of the Son of Man would have led us to endure the fiery rays of the Syrian sun, doubly intense as they were reflected from the water. A strange fascination had drawn us through stifling ravines and tickets of •thorn to trace the sites of cities which, under His curse, had disappeared and left those crowded places to the reign of death. * For greater comfort we had ordered tbe camp to be removed from under the walls of Tiberias to the little meadow of Khan M in yah. j am not sore that the patriarch Isaac did not long for the venison of Esau more than we hungry tourists did for the flesh pots whose savor filled our imagination. Never had Yusef failed to salute us from afar with the dinner horn. But that night the horn was as silent as the pipes <of the children of Caper- ! naum. Neither did Eliezar, the chief ; servant of our household meet us with his usual welcofaie, "All-right-a!" The camp was not half set qp, and dinner was only prophetically announced by . the clatter of tin pans and a dozen ' angry voices screeching mutual crimin- ( ations. The face of Farqb, our drago- , man, was as flushed with wrath as an Indian's with war paint. Eliezar had been chiefly at fault. He had rebelled at some order of the drago; . man and counted upon a general insurrection of cooks, muleteers and bedmakef. In this -he had been mistaken, "for an Oriental has a keen reverence for authority, especially when an official holds the purse-strings. No one ventured a word in Eliezar's behalf. For his contumacy he was dismissed from the service and driven summarily from ' the capip. i This was a serious matter for the offender. He would lose half his wages for the expedition, and, the season being advanced, would probably gqt no" other employment for the year. Besides, he was many days' journey from home, to reach which he must steal his way between Bedawin villages whose Inhabitants were just at that time excited against ail Lebanon rtes because of certain depredations alleged to have been committed by them. • But though his fate was hard, Eliezar's pride was harder. He shouldered his kit with the stoicism of an old Roman going to suicide at the emperor's command. No one gave him a kindly word at parting, the wrath of Farah being too ominous. Only Yusef, the bugler,, showed sympathy. The fellow was a general favorHe. He could speak no English beyond the words "Gopd donkey," with which he sainted on all occasions. "Good donkey," he wonld say as he lifted the ladies to their saddles, or presented them with tiny bouquets of wild flowers that be picked on the way. But generous hearts do not need to declare themselves in complimentary words. Goodness has its own spiritual radiation, and Yusef went among us in his clumsy sandals and dirty shins jas a sort of saint in the grub state.. | Yusefg broad brotherly form twitched with emotion as he watched Eliezar's form grow smaller and smaller climbing the long slope toward the high plain of Hattim. When it disappeared Yusef burst into tears. He fell down at Farah'* knees, and touched his forehead to the ground. The dragoman stood with folded arms looking at him. Gradually, hfg face showed changing emotions. At ■ first fury seemed to jjivc way to contempt for the suppliant. He kicked him with his foot. But Yusef would At length all austerity vanished from Farahs face. "Yusef!" The man kissed tbe hem of Farah's burnoos and leaped to his feet. Farah afterward told me what Yusef said, tho is was hardly needed, for the pantomine was self-interpretive. Yusef confessed the fault of his friend, and begged his forgiveness, asking that he might himself bear his comrade's penalty, even to the relinquishing of his own wages. This mediation was a first" "refused by the dragoman. Yusef then sought the intercession of the tourists, prostrating himself before one after another, kissing our hands, and pointing in the direction of his vanished friend. The camp became unanimous for Eliezar's pardon. We begged that Yusef might go after the offender and bring him Tiack. "No!" said Farah. "We do not forgive in that way. If I restore Eliezar I must go aftv him myself. Ic was I . who gent him off with my own words *d my own blow. I must bring him ( back with my own voice and hand. He , wouldn't come back with Yusef. . But miad oie thing— «rhen I bring IMiezar you must do as the men of the camp do. Notice "that they will not applaud me, nor Yusef— Only Eli«ar, -himself. If you make anything of my forgiveness you will spoil it all. You can never resell a Lebanon man's heart by humIL iating him. He must be made to feel ' that it is all right Gire a rousing 1 Yankee cheer for Hiezar " 1

In the late twilight two forms came over the western hilltop. Farah's arm was about the stewaRt shoulder. A, - double score of voices rang out "Eliezar! t Eliezar!" none louder than Farah's. t later followed an ovation for Yusef, a and later still the mfen came one by T one and kissed the hand of Farah, while e he himself raised another . cheer for '■ Eliezar. ■ We talked a little bibical theology in f camp' that night. Did the scene we had witnessed suggest the saying that God 1 Himself comes to seek and to save the a lost? Does He entreat us to become ' reconciled to Him, when we perhaps 1 imagine that something must reconcile s Him to ual When He receives us does r He justify us, making it "all right" bek tween us? Did our outcry for Eliezar r make anybody think of there Jbeing "joy - in heaven over a sinner repenting?" e The scene reflected somf higher truths i into our minds, even as the waters of i Galilee reflected tbe light of the stars.
