Texte au verso

We are standing on the right bank of the Jordan, looking S.E. across and down the stream towards where it enters the Dead Sea. Jericho is five miles away, behind us, and Jerusalem some sixteen miles distant over our right shoulder. Tradition says that it was somewhere close by this bend in the river that John baptized the people and that Jesus came to enroll Himself with those who looked for the approaching Kingdom. “Does the Jordan look at all as you expected it to look ? How brown and muddy is its current ! See the bushes and trees that it has torn away from its banks and carried down its tide ! You remember that the Jordan means “descender”, and that it earns its name, for it falls more than 3000 feet in less than 150 miles, or more than 20 feet to the mile. No vessel has ever sailed up or down its current for any distance… it has no romantic dells or grassy slopes and places are few where it can be seen, much less reach by the traveler. Yet this eddying stream before us possesses an interest deeper than that of mere beauty in appearance… Thousands of pilgrims every year, at untold sacrifices, come from distant lands, to bathe in its waters, no matter how discolored they may be. Many come to it for the holy rite of baptism, believing that its water will surely wash away their sin… Yonder Arab, with his sword, is probably the “guard” who receives blackmail for protecting the pilgrims from his own tribe.” From Travelling in the Holy Land Through The Stereoscope, by Jesse Lyman Hurlbut, D.D., with special “keyed” maps; published by Underwood & Underwood. ================================================================================== Baptising in the Jordan, Palestine.
