A Foot-Lamp.

ONE of the most interesting things in the Holy Land is the fact that one meets everywhere in daily life the things that illustrate the words of the Lord. The streets of Jerusalem are very narrow, and no one is allowed to go out at night without a light. Throw open your lattice in the evening and look out, and you will see what seems to be little stars twinkling on the pavement. You will hear the clatter of sandals as the late traveler rattles along. As the party approaches, you will see that he has a little lamp to his foot to make his step a safe one. In an instant the words come to your memory, written in the same city three thousand years ago, “Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.”
