HISTORY
The natural sit'utetion of the city
of Jerusalenn, not only conveniently,
central, but protected by.the surround-
., ravines, above which it rises like a
mountain .fortress, doubtless led to its
pre-eminence over the other cities of
Palestine• from the earliest times. We
first perhaps, (sear of it as Salem (Gen.
xiv, 18), .the city of Melchizedek; then
as Jebusi, the stronghold of Jebusites
(Joshua xviii, 28). I1 is probable that
the Amorites and Hittites, whose terri-
tories Joined that of the Jebusites,
where the city stood, shared its posses -
ion with them. It is mentioned by name
on tablets still existing, written by its
Amorite king in the fifteenth century 13.
C. After ineffectual attempts to disposs-
es this people, the Benjaniites were ob-
liged to leave the stronghold of Mount
Zion in their hands until King, David
and his warriors—all their energies a-
ivhich thenceforth took the name
of the Jebusites—captured the citadel,
of the "City of Dat id" and Jerusalem
became the civil and religious centre of rx" "<" as 4i} ee.. '

After the return of the Jews from
their 70 years' espativity, tite city and
Tempie were slowly rebuilt—not
without gneat opposition from the
rulers of the now mixed races in
Samaria and the surrounding
regions; they were jealous of the re-
viving prosperity of the Jews; and
it was only by dauntless energy on
the part of Ezra, Nehemiah, and others
that the work was at length accomplish-
ed.
In the year 332 B. C. the city
passed without a siege, into the
hands of Alexander the Great, who
respected its sacred character
. Ptolemy I. (Sotar), King of Egypt
'(in 314 13. C.), besieged it on the
Sabbath, when the people, in their
reverence for the clay, would not re-
sist, and a large number were carried
away into captivity. - Agaiti it was
wrested from Egypt by the Seieua
ids>. of Sydia, and one of them, An-
tiochus Epiphanes, desecrated and
oppressed it with such unetidurable
tyranny that the insurrection of the
Maccabees broke forth, in 168 13. C.,
leading to a national revolution and
the restoration of the Jews to inde-
standard of revolt was raised. A suc-
cess gained over the Governor of Syria
encouraged the Jews in their resistance,
and compelled Titus to bring his le-
gions from Egypt. In the year A. D.
70 occurred the siege and utter des-
truction of the hely City, accompan-
ied by scenes of unparalleled horror
and suffering; the Jews themselves, dis-
tracted by internal dissensions, yet
united in a desperately heroic effort of
self-defense up to the last. The
slaughter was frightful, and the
Temple and the whole city were burnt
down, tvitit the exception of part of
11ippicus, Phas;efus, and Marianne. .A
Uippicus, Phasaetus, and Mariamne, A
Roman garison occupied these towers,
and the Jews soon began to return to
inhabit the ruins, For the next 65 years
very little of the history of Jerusalem
has been perserved, Considerable free-
dom was allowed the Jews, which they
used to strengthen tltentseives, so that
what is known as the 'Second Revolt”
was far more desperate than the First
had been, and it was at a terrible cost`
that it was crushed by Rome, This de-
vastating war, under Hadrian on the one
side told the famous Barchochetsas

Its the year 1244, a Tartar horde, the
Kharermian5, took the city and heated
the inhabitants with great cruelty.
Shortly afterwards they were dispersed
by the Mohammedans of Syria, and it
has been a Moslem city ever since that
time. In the year 1517 the place was
taken with tite rest of Syria and Egypt,
by the Ottoman Sultan Selinn 1,, and in
1542 its present walls were built by Soli
man the Magnificent. Napoleon planed

Egypt, Mohammed 'Ali but by European

Jerusalem again owned the Turkish
sway, under the Sultan Abd-el-Mejid.
In •1862 it was visited by H. R. H.

ward VII.) in 1869 by the Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria, and the
Crown Prince Frederick of Prussia,
afterwards tate Emperor Frederick;
and ie 1898 by the Emperor William

TI3E FALL OF JERUSALEM.
The story of the Fail ort Jerusalem,
in the graphic words of a former
Archbishop of Catstrbury, reads;=- -
"11 was new the 13th Abih (March -

parallel to which, In 2 Kings vi. 28, is
mentioned as the lowest misery in the
siege of Samaria. Between the 14th of
Abih, when the siege began, and 1st of
T:unntue, it is said that s'i5,0oo bodies
had been buried in the city at the pub-
lic expense; and the Roman general
wept as ire saw the misery, calling
heaven to witness that not itis enmity,
but the madness of the Jews themselves,
was the cause of these unheard of suf-
ferings. At length, by the latter Weeks
of July, tate Antonia was stormed. The
daily sacrifice had ceased, no (tope
seemed left, and the defenders of the
Temple were exposed to an irresistible
assault from the fortress, which come
mended its courts. But their furious
zeal made them defend the Isoly pre-
cincts inch by inch, 'Titus himself
watched the assault, and urged on his
soldiers, but to little purpose. It was
not till August (90 of Ab), the day, it
was remarked on which the King of
Babylon had destroyed the first Temple,
that all was lost. Titus, it was will
known, was anxious to save the mag-
nificent building, hallowed by the re-
ligious associations of so many centur-
ies; and this may account, in part, for
the slowprogress of his victory. But
on the fatal evening, a soldier, against
his orders, cast a brand into a small,
gilded doorway on the north side, and
iso a few moments the whole Temple
was iu a blaze. A loud shriek of terror
from the defenders announced the ca-
tastrophe'to Tittts, who had retired to
rest, intending to begin the assault next
morning. Wildly rose the uproar; blaz-
ing rafters lighted up the darkness,
while all around the crackling of the
flames and the crashing of the failing
roots mingled with the shouts of the
victors and tete death -cry of the Jews.
Titus rushed forth, and in vain gave
orders to stay the conflagration. His
radallea, ,fere in the Holy of Holies; they
seized upon the treasures, which were

cloister,
"Even iso this Jtnur of horror the wild
fanaticism of the Jew, was scarcely
quelled,' The Messiah had been looked
fol' as a deliverer by many eves in this
last extremity, The srn;tll remnant of
the cloister was now burned bythe
Romt111 soldiers, and 6,000 unarmed
people, ts'ith women and children, were
destroyed in it, who had been led' up
to the Temple shortly before by a false
prophet, confidesit that a great deliver-
er was at hand, ,But the actual des-
truction of the Temple—not one stone
telt upon another—wits a death -blow;
the spirit of the wildest was now ef-
fectually broken; The upper city (tile
stronghold of Ziois) still, indeed, re-
sisted. There Simon had been Joined
by his rival John, Some tinse was nec-
essarily' lost before the Romans could
ralse ttseir Works against the steep bank
of the valley of the Tyropceou, When
they did commence the assault they
found that the defenders had lost their
wonted courage; when, on the 8th of
Elul, the Romans burst, with shouts of
triumph, into the last stronghold of
their enemies, they found little but the
silent streets and houses full of dead
bodies; while John and Simon tong
baffled all search, being concealed
amidst tate ruins and in the subterran-
ean passages,
"Thus Jerusalem was utterly cast
down. A portion of the western wall
and three great towers were left stand-
ing, to shelter.the Rouen soldiers; but
all the city, Zion, Akre, and tate Temple
was left in a mass of scarcely disting-
uishable ruins.
The fearful catalogue which Josep-
hus has preserved of those who lost
their lives in the siege and the massa-
cre which had proceeded it in this tear, 5
tells us that they exceeded 1,300,000.

Jerusalem stands on four hills, once
separated by deep valleys, which are
now partially filled by the debris of
successive destructions of the city.
The traditional, and probably, the actual,
Zion of our Lord's time, the most cele-
brated of these is on the south-west,
rising 'm its southern decli'+ty :300 feet
above toe val.ey of Hienotn, and on the
south•t'ast 500 feet a:o,'e the Kidron,
The Tyropceon sweeps around its north
ern and eastern bases, separating it
from Akra and Moriah. Zion was the
old citadel of the Jebusites, and "The
City of David." Mount Modish is On the
east , separated from Zion by the Tyro -
prim!), and from Olivet by the deep gor-
ge of the Kidron. This is ntucls lower
than Zion. It was the site of the ancient
Temple, and is now crowned by the
Jvlosgpe. On the north-east is Mount
Bezetha, ;t hill higher than Mortals,
which was enclosed within the walls,
after the time of Christ, by Herod Agri-
ppa. Mount Akre is on the north-west.
It is separated from Zion by the Tyro-
pason, and from Bezetha by a broad
valley running southward into the Tyr-
°preon,as it sweeps around the foot

There is Safety
Under This R sof
Have you ever had a fine job of decorating spoiled by a leaking
roof? IF you have, you certainly are in a position to appreciate the value
of a roof that is positively water -proof. Some of the troubles common to
wooden shingles to -day are that they are apt to split, warp or blow off as
well as leak, soon after they are putt on, Years ago they were good, but
the quality has since gradually depreciated as the available supply of
suitable timber became exhausted.
Brantford Slates have none of the faults- of wooden shingles. They
cannot rust. They do not allow rain to bo driven under them as do
metal roofs. They do not require rigid supporting as do the common tile
or slate roofs. On the other hand Brantford Slates afford the utmost
protection with little weight. They are made on a long -fibred felt
"base" which is thoroughly saturated under pressure with asphaltum or
mineral pitch. Crushed quarried slate particles are then deeply embed-
ded in the surface of this "base", making it water -tight and fireproof_

Brantford Slates are made in the natural slate colors of green, red,
black and grey, The colors never fade and the slates do not require
painting nor repairing. These slates are pliable and fit readily around
gables andinto the angles of any roof. This means a continuous roof
without seams or joints. Sparks die on Br ntford Slates, When you
have these slates "on" you are done with the Jab. Remember they don't
require painting or staining and may be selected to harmonize with al-
most any exterior color design, and the price is not beyond your reach.
We would be pleased to send you samples and our Rooting Booklet.
