ooks of prayer, or Scripture, in Hebrew, Greek, and German: in which latter language Dr. Alexander preaches every Sunday. A gentleman who sat near me at church used all these books indifferently; reading the first lesson from the Hebrew book, and the second from the Greek. Here we all assembled on the Sunday after our arrival: it was affecting to hear the music and language of our country sounding in this distant place; to have the decent Halpa Naiset Cg Chilliwack Bomber and manly ceremonial Maillot Ajax Amsterdam Pas CHer of our service; the prayers delivered in that noble language. Even that stout anti-prelatist, the American consul, who has left his house and fortune in America in order to witness the coming of the Millennium, who believes it to be so near that he has brought a dove with him from his native land (which bird he solemnly informed us was to survive the expected Advent), was affected by the good old words and service. He swayed about and moaned in his place at various passages; during the sermon he gave especial marks of sympathy and approbation. I never heard the service more excellently and impressively read than by the Bishop’s chaplain, Mr. Veitch. But it was the music that was most touching I thought — the sweet old songs of home.
There was a considerable company assembled: near AFC Ajax Barn a hundred people I should think. Our party made a large addition to the usual congregation. The Bishop’s Philadelphia Eagles Hattar family is proverbially numerous: the consul, and the gentlemen of the mission, have wives, Marco Verratti Drakt and children, and English establishments. These, and the strangers, occupied places down the room, to the right and left of the desk and communion-table. The converts, and the members of the college, in rather a scanty number, faced the officiating clergyman; before Scarpe Nike Zoom Speed Trainer 3 Donna whom the silver maces of the janissaries were set up, as they set Philippe Coutinho Drakt up the beadles’ maces in England.
I made many walks round the city to Olivet and Bethany, to the tombs of the kings, and the fountains sacred in story. These are green and fresh, but all the rest of the landscape seemed to me to be FRIGHTFUL. Parche |
