Mr. and Mrs. Watt had been sent to the Holy Land last summer by their congregation and he showed slides of their trip and places they visited. Egypt is taking great strides forward, which was clearly shown in pictures of the old and new sections of Cairo. There were pictures of Mohammedans preparing to enter a mosque by removing their shoes and of the mosque Itself; camels with heavy loads; goat herds and shepherds leading their flocks. Mount Nebo was shown as Mr. Watt recited a verse of "The Burial of Moses". The shores of the Jordan River, bar- ren except for cedar trees; or- ange trees laden with fruit at Elisha's well; and parts of the Wall of Jericho were shown. Mr. Watt had pictures of the great man-made water reser- voirs, the caves where the scrolls were recently found and where John the Baptist may well have been in his time. The Hills of Bethlehem and the Church of the Nativity, where a star marks the place of the Saviour's birth were inter- esting. The 2, 725 feet Mount of Olives, the gate of Damas- cus and a church which marks the spot of the home of Mary and Martha were shown. The tomb of Lazarus is light- ed with tapers. Old olive trees in the Garden of Gethsemane were seen and a church in the garden, which is still in use as a place of wor- ship. The golden gates through which Jesus was led on Palm Sunday, the street through which He carried His cross, the place of the crucifixion, gar- den of Joseph of Aramathea and Jesus' tomb took the au- dience to the scene of the greatest events to take place in history. Mr. Watt preached in a cha- pel on the shore of Galilee while he was there. They rose in the morning to see the sun- rise on the Sea of Galilee. There had been no rain from Easter to July. Other places shown included Athens, Greece, Mars Hill, the Canadian Embassy and ruins of Corinth. Mrs. George Mitchell thank- ed Mr. Watt and lunch was served to about 70 people after Rev. Mitchell closed the meet- ing with prayer. East Wawanosh Council Mason Robinson acted in the absence of the reeve when East Wawanosh Township met last week.
