IIo was born in the Village of Sahweir
on Mount Lebanon in North Palestine,

professed the Greets form of Christianity.
Ills grandfather and several of hie an-
cestors were priest of that communion.
Through the study of the Scriptures and
thu as•i0tanoe of some Protestant friends
in Syria he abandoned the Greeli Church

the Presbyterian, at that time the 01113,
form of Protestantism in North Pales.
line, P i'otes"Oot missi0111aries appeared
in Syria as early as 1821, and it would
seem plat some arrangement was made
between the Anglicans and the Presby-
tedium
resbyterinna by which the former labored in
the south, Mount Hermon and southward,
and the latter in the no, thorn parts,
1\Iouo1 Lebanon hurl northward. The
convert to Protestantism wanted to be-
n preacher and teacher of the Gospel,
not iu Oanada nor in England, bat in
his own land. Following thea 101r9000 he
went to Ediub°rlth in 1874 and remained
for three pears studying. At the end of
that time he returned to Syria and spent
three years as a superintendent and
taoher of a school. In 1880 he went
back to Edinburgh and resealed his
studios for the Ministry, and was !Misused
in 1881 by the Presbytery of Edinburgh.
Tho loss of his sight practically took
pitted before be entered the university in
1880. At that time he was not able to
read or write. Many of his best friends
tried to dissuade 13110 from atndying, ar•
'ming that he would never be table to get
Dither a ohnroil or a missionary appoint-
ment. Nevertheless he went on pursuing
hie steams, partly by hiring persons to
read to him nod partly availing himself
of the kindness of hes fellow•students.
It turned out that he could pass his
examinations and win prizes as well, but
the prophecies of his friends Dams true,
for mission uommitteee did not see their
way clear to appoint a blind man to a
poet in it foreign land. Of this disap•
pofnhnent, which must have been a heavy
one to the newiylioeneed preacher, Dr.
Howie nubile this reference and bitter-
ness stf!I lingers about the eubjeot
"Of °onree it would be absurd," he said,
"to Bay that two men equal in everything
except that one is blind could do equally
well, but it is moch more absurd to think
that a blind man oonnot excel many an-
other man though he has his sight, if you
.grant that talents and attainments are
not possessed equally by all moo,"

cause, he declared, they outran the
Russians everywhere, and oftener than
not by sharp practices that bordered on
the dishonest. The Arabs of Syria and
the Greeks of Palestine favored that Jew's
opinion, and their hostility to the Jews
had resulted in the action within the last
few weals of the Sultan, who had prohi•
bited the landing of the Jews in Pales-
tine. Dr. Howie believes Palestine is a
splendid field for the Jews. The present
population is exceeding sparse, and there
is room for hundreds of thousands. The
Jews who come to Palestine and take to
agriculture do well. Within the last ten
yearn the rainfall in the country has in-
creased from 21 to 30 inches, but as there
is no rainin the summer some meaue of
irrigation will have to be found. The
country has been lying waste for hun-
dreds of years and has conte to resemble
a barren wilderness, but let it be eniti.

virtually lost to his family. 'Little did

writer, "that the boueo was to be bread
to his bairns ae:d 1ne." Chambers was
so pleased with the comfortable accom-
modation provided by his hostess that he
suggested that she ebotid make it known
that she was willing to aeomtnodate
visitors to the district ; and having re.
calved her consent, when his book was
published he made highly commendatory
mention of the "small, neat house,' and
of the widow "who lets her spare room
for any length of time at a small rant,
and who (expertus loguer) can provide her
lodgers with as halesoma and agreeable
country fare as may anywhere be found.

ans, from every district of the country,
and elrnust from every quarter of the
globe. Tibbie, when elle was a lassie,
had "served 81' " James Hogg, the Et.
trick Shepherd, whose residonae was at
a distance of ouly two or three miles,
and in all probability she was indebted to
him for an introduction to' Professor
Wilson (Christopher North), who was
fond of the place, and was wont to resort
to it along with hie family for summer
lodgings, varying hie fishing exploits in
St Mary's Looh and the Meggot with

men, and mealy more of their class,
especially Drs. Chalmers and Gnthrio,

tools a kindly interest in her welfare.
In the "Life of Dr. Eadie," by Dr. James
Brown, there is an interesting 00aount of
a week's sojourn at Tibbie's by the learn-
ed and genie) Professor and two of his
Glasgow brethren. Tibbie took t0 the
"Prefesser" all at once, and he was Si
special care to her—something, probably,
in his bigness and M1%19110113, and hearti-
ness reminding her of that other "Pur•
feasor" whom in her earlier days she had
so often entertained. A curious inoideut
occurred on the first night the visitors
spent in that "cosy beild." After aday's
rambling among the hills a desire WAS
°xpreesod that au hour or two should be
devoted to the perusal of Rome appropri-
ate work. '1'ibbie'e library was put into
requisition, and she produced a volntne
which an 'Englishman bad given her a
