SMALLNESS OF PALESTINE.

events that have taken place in the
Holy Land, the multitude of cities,
villages" and towns, the countless. mil-
lions tvho have been born there and
whose bones now lie in its rock-
ribbed..hills, the small dimensions of
Palestine are almost startling. West
of the Jordan, where most-- of the
historic events,took place, there are
only 3,800 square miles, including all
the geographical divisions now called
Palestine. Including the land both
east and west of the Jordan, thetotal
area is 9,840 square miles. The
length .of Palestine' from north to
outh is about 150 miles. It varies
n breadth from twenty-three to
ighty miles.
