Views of the Holy Land
By Editor
WE have desired to make such a use of our first page as to both please and benefit our readers. Some have been kind enough to say that they have obtained new views of the connection between the natural and the spiritual by the nature scenes and the accompanying interpretations which have appeared from time to time. Others have expressed their satisfaction when the first page was used to set prominently before the people the law of God and the plain teaching of the Scripture concerning the Sabbath. Still others have made different suggestions as to the most profitable use of this space. It is evident that no one plan would suit all classes of our readers, but we hope by varying the matter to satisfy as many as possible. We begin this week the publication of a series of views of scenery in the holy land, accompanied by a brief historical statement. Those who wish to preserve these pictures can thus provide themselves with views of many places whose names have been made familiar to them by frequent mention in the Scriptures. The present series will probably include from ten to fifteen views.
