NAZARETH

THE name of this town is inseparably linked with that of the Saviour, from the fact that here he spent the greater part of his life previous to beginning his public ministry. It was " Jesus of Nazareth " who went about doing good among the inhabitants of Judea. The site of the town is described as " the side of a barren, 11)i rocky elevation, facing the east, and commanding a long valley." " Nazareth is situ- 4t- ated on the side, and extends nearly to the foot, of a hill, which, though not very high, is rather steep and overhanging." This hill suggests to the mind the description given in Luke 4: 29, of the attempt of the men of Nazareth, under the control of passion, to cast Jesus over a precipice that he might be killed. A steeper and higher precipice situated in a ravine at some distance from the modern town is regarded by some as the more probable location of this incident. Nazareth was a small town belonging to Zebulon, in lower Galilee, lying to the west of Mount Tabor. There seems to have been nothing in its location or sur- roundings to give it prominence or elevate it above the level of an obscure moun- 7' tain village. The only reputation it possessed was of an undesirable sort. " Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" was the query of those who were invited to consider the claims of Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah. It can not be said that the childhood of the sinless Man was passed amid the most favorable sur- roundings. The modern town of Nazareth contains about three thousand inhabitants, of whom five hundred are Turks, the remainder being classed as Christians. A large convent is the principal building in the town, dating back to the year 173o. In this convent the traveler is shown " the house of Joseph and Mary," and " a subterranean cavern, divided into small grottoes, where the Virgin is said to have lived." The convent, which has very thick walls, is reported to serve occasionally " as a fortress to all the Chi istiars in the town."

Here we were given an opportunity of seeing the tiara close at hand. We also saw two other tiaras that had been pre- sented to the pope, one from France and the other from Bologna, as well as the miter of the pope. I might say at this point that many persons confound the pope's miter with his tiara. The miter of the pope is the tall cap that he wears on occasions of minor importance, and is similar to miters worn by the bishops all over' the world, only that it is more beautifully adorned. He wears his miter as bishOp of , while his tiara is the triple crown which he wears as the sign of his authority as pope. That there has never been an inscription upon the miter is evident in the nature of the case, arid therefore a careful examina- tion of it revealed no writing whatso- ever. Now as to the tiara, which is the triple crown worn solely by the pope, I shall say a few words. The present tiara has been in use since 1836, and was worn by Pius IX, Leo XIII, and Pius X. This is the official tiara with which the are crowned, and which they wear on great occasions. There is no tiara extant that was worn before 11836; for when Napoleon came to Rome on his famous pillaging tour, he destroyed all the tiaras existing, in order to utilize the jewels and the pre- cious metals contained in them. The present tiara, however, is a beautiful piece of workmanship.
