The Holy Land and the Bible; . te, there is a village called Ainun four miles north of the principalstream. With abundant water flowing all the year round, a centralpositiod, free space for the crowds, and a situation on the edge of thedescent to the Jordan, of which the waters of the neighborhood are, south of the plain of Esdraelon, the main tributary on the west, noposition more favorable in every way could have been chosen by theBaptist for his work. That he once raised his earnest voice in regionsnow so silent and forlorn, casts an interest over the landscape morepowerful than it could otherwise have had, even had it possessed greatnatural attractions.

The slopes oneach side were beautifully green; and, as we advanced, streams fiomthe hills swelled that in the valley till the mills became so frequentthat one might fancy they were there to mark the miles. After a timeour way turned nearly north, up a gentle slope which had no brook, and for some distance the ground was covered with stones and thornybushes. Villages on the rounded hill-tops, bedded in green fields andgroves of olives, looked down on us from the south
