Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The 1900 Pligrimage to Egypt and the Holy Land: Including Syria, Asia Minor, Greece, Italy, Switzerland, and France These chapters have grown out of a series of letters published in the Watchword, during my journey. Many of my friends, who claim to have been benefited by them, have insisted that I put in more complete and permanent form the story of the pilgrimage. The book is not written from the standpoint of a scientific student. It simply aims to bring the journey to those who may read its pages and make them feel that they are really amid the scenes, events and impressions narrated, from the banks of the Nile, the gates of the Holy City, the Mount of Olives, the tents in the wilderness, the Jordan valley, and the Sea of Galilee, to the hilltops where it seemed that heaven bent low to meet us, and the air of that higher altitude was full of Pisgah visions. The path of the journey is illuminated by illustrations, most of which were taken by my own camera. These, we trust, will not only brighten the pages of the little volume, but also serve to heighten interest in the story, and preserve its realism. The itinerary was planned and the party organized by Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, D.D., Rev. Ford C. Ottman, and Mr. John Willis Bear. The company comprised eighty-six persons, including some of the leading ministers, teachers, and church workers of the country. With but few exceptions all, were Christian Endeavorers seeking better equipment for service. The unity of purpose and congeniality of spirit greatly enhanced the pleasure and profit of the tour. The pilgrimage was arranged and managed throughout by Thomas Cook and son. It is evident that we were favored every step of the way with superior protection and provisions, and that the obligations of the famous company were honored by its staff in all the countries visited. If this unpretending record of my experience will awaken in the mind of the reader a new interest in the sacred lands of the Bible, and help to a better understanding of the Book of books the purpose of the author will have been fully accomplished.
