TIIE ARABIAN DESERT.—Part in

TIIE ARABIAN DESERT.—Part in

From Mount Sinai to the southern borders of Palostiue, the country is arid in tho oxtremo, tho surface consisting of hard sand and rocky formations, almost destitute of vegetation. Tbe Bcdawin Arabs rove up and down tlie Wadies, socking support for their camels and flocks on tlie scanty shrubbery that springs up in the rainy season and by the saline fountains. To such as have never seen the desert, it is difficult to convey an idea of tho utter desolation that prevails, and it seems a marvel that human beings should be willing, or able to live here, at all. IF the desolate grandeur of tho White Mountain Notch, without its cascades, tufts of grass or blue bells, could be extended indefinitely and made to cover hill and valley, poak aud plain, so tliat in one’s journeying, week after week, the dreary view should reach on every side to the horizon, that would be tho aspect of the Arabian desert. In rare localities indeed, a few acacias and palm trees appear, and feathery turfa shrubs often chequer the dry water-courses, but from Suez to Sinai, across to Gaza aud the Dead Sea and thence sweeping down, east and south, past Mecca and the Persian Gulf, the desolation, like an occan waste, everywhere prevails.

The inhabitants live at the farthest possiblo removo from tho modes of Western life. Without fixed abodes, they dwell in goat’^hair tents, and in their habita and customs are simple and freo. If tlie Fellahs of Egypt, as some arer, originally came forth from tlie Nile mud, the Bedawfn would seem to liaro sprang from tho yellow sand. They are of a sunburnt, hazel color, and active and noisy as the wind; naturally intelligent yet destitute of literature as the country is of ver-dure, and, like the mountain ranges and rocky cliffs, endowed with immovable traits and instinct with fires capable of sublime manifestation. On entering the country, it is impossible to forget the words of thirty or forty centuries ago, respecting their great ancestor: “He will bo a wild man: his hand will be against every man, and every roan’s hand against him.” Nor can one forgot the Mohammedan impulse, divine and human, that twelve centuries ago was here communicated to tlie world, tbo unspent force of which is mighty to this day.

Four thousand years have wrought out rare results in this desert. Tho Bodawin Arabs present a singular mixture of rapacity and generosity. With tho one marked virtue of hospitality, tboy Are a raco of robbers. It would seem that the old quarrel between Sarah and Iiagar, perpetuated from generation to generation, is yet alivo, and that Ishmacl’s children aro today blindly seeking reparation for wrongs suffered by their ancient mother, on tho soil whoro sho oxperienced thom. If this is so, how eminently worthy Abraham’s beautiful wife as an actor on human society to stand in the lino of apostolical succession from the first peerless mother!

The Bedawin regard as enemies all who do not belong to their tribe, or who are not in treaty with them; and to fight and plunder such is not only a general practice, but a universal sentiment and passion. Probably it would be impossible for Franks to cross the Arabian dosort at all, without first coming into friendly correspondence with the sheikhs, as lords of the soil. Their fortune, at least, on makihg tlw attempt, would closely resemble his, who ” went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieve*, who stripped him of his raiment, wounded him, and departod, leaving him half dead.” Tlie Bedawtn exo-cute this process now, as they did eighteen hundred years ago, not only on that very road to Jericho, but everywhere from the Jordan and the Dead Sea to tho bordors of Egypt. Tho epithet ” thieves,” applied by our Lord, was pronounoed, of course, from the gospel stand-point, and not from the Arab’s.

According to their own declarations

According to their own declarations

When, how, by what process of defection did it forfeit its ancient and honorable distinction, and come to mean some- thing so different, so unlike its former signification,’ as to need to be impeached, and removed from office, and forever disqualified from presiding over tho interests of a largo and growing portion of the Church of Christ ? How came it about that this word bccamc disloyal, joined li&nds with traitors, and exposed itself to tlie severest reprobation and punishment within tho reach of its former sworn and exclusive patrons ? Wo wish to sec tl»o articles of impeachment; wo desire to know the evidence upon which they were sustained; we demand in the name of justice, tlie reasons why tho extreme ponalty of tbe law was thus visited upon tlie accused ?

But this phase of tlw case at issuo is one between ” baptists ” and 44 immersionists.” And we are much mistaken, if there be not found many in that denomination too loyal to their own antecedents, too much alive to tlw permanent interests of that portion of Christ’s Church, too well versed in tho languages of the Bible, too courteous to the Christian scholarship of the age, to acecpt the change Uius forced upon them ; to stultify their life-long professions, by forever disowning a designation which h&s hitherto been their pride and glory ; to allow themselves to be thus unceremoniously thrust out of tho 44 Baptist Church ” and swept into the Church of tho Immersionists; to be compelled thus to fling defiance in the face of those with whom tbey have been accustomed to hold Christian fellowship, if not at the Lord’s table, yet in every other possible relation, withholding that one form of fellowship for other reasons than those which affect the Christian character of the party thus technically and formally, but not truly, disfcllowshippcd. Wc greatly err if all tlie good aud wi6o men of that denomination tamely submit to see tlwir standards thus trailed in the dust. This, however, is a sort of family feud with which wo who aro unimmersed are supposed to havo no concern.

Accordingly, wo return to the position which we have taken independently of considerations like this, and confidently join issue with tho immersionists on tlw naked question of their

right as scholars, to depose the word ” baptism,” and enlhrooo ” immersion.”

And here tbe question of the proper mode, or modes, of baptism nood not come into discussion. It has, in fact, no relation whatever to the issue before us. It has no more to do witb deciding which word should represent the Greek iu a translation of tho New Testament, than it has with the question whether the moon is inhabited. B<imiop* denotes an application of water, in some manner, and to a certain extent. It is entirely immaterial, for our preseut purpose, what method of application may bo the most proper, or even the exclusive method ; or whether the word may embrace all washings of every possible kind and degree. Tho translator of the word nocd not even know tliat there is any room for difference of opinion on these points. He has no right to know it in his official capacity of translator. Tbo instant lie betrays such knowledge, he becomcs unfaithful to his work; be takes tho attitude of a partisan; he betrays tho trust confidcd to him. Ho becomes tlie tool of a scct, rather than an impartial translator.

Tho Unitarian church has not the doctrinal

Posted by admin on September 22, 2011

Tho Unitarian church has not the doctrinal

But sclf-sacrifico is tho grand law of human progress. A life of unthanked self-denial is the Christian ideal. Self-sacrifice is based on a Biblical creed, which obligates every man to obey tho moral law, which reveals the lost state of guilty man under tlie law, which sets forth the atoncmont, regeneration, and tho duty of the Church to rescue the depraved and tlie perishing. Christianity introduced to tho world tho idea of self-sacrifice, for the good of otliers, as a course of life. No prominence was given to tbo thought in other religious systems; or, however others may havo hinted it, no other religious system ever made tho idea a practical power in the lives of its disciplcs.

Christian self-sacrifice is based on Christian doctrine. With-out the dogmatic basis it would perish. Self-sacrifice is tho essenco of Christianity. It is tbo attempt to obey tbo moral law of supremo love to God and love to man. Tlie principle of self-sacrifice is the leading power in tho world. Enforced by tho conscience of good men, and by tho Author of moral law, it – will sweep all before it, and subject tho world to its renovating sway. Even Mr. Lecky says:—

“It is always extremely important to trace the direction in which the spirit of sclf-sacrifico is moving; for upon the intensity of that spirit depends tbe moral elevation of sji age, aod upon its course the religious future of the world.’

It was difficult to realize tliat wo wore actually at Mount Sinai; that up this valley Moses had lod tlte flock of his father-in-law, Jetbro, and Uiat here the Angel of the Lord addressed him from tbe ” burning bush,” and commissioned him to tlie work ho so serenely and gloriously accomplished. The mind, at first, failed to take in the world-historic facts belonging to the locality; that the Hebrew lcador went forth from this place to the land of Egypt, delivered bis country from the yoke of tho ancient kingdom scatod on the Nile, and conductcd them hither by stupendous mArehes through the sea and tlie wilderness; and tliat here, by the personal intervention of Jehovah, they had received organization, law and tlie sacred oracles. But, as we becamo familiar with tho localities, our feelings gradually adjusted themselves to the situation, until wo camo fully into tho spirit of the place, and ere long a voice seemed to address us like that heard by Moses: M Put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for tho place whereon thou standest is holy ground.”

The region scoms to liavo been strikingly adapted to tlie work accomplished here. The Red Sea, extending from tbo Arabian Gulf, a distance of more than a thousand miles, here separates into two long, narrow gulfs, like arms stretched out, and reaching towards Europe and Asia. Those inclose a triangular peninsula, consisting of an elevated plateau of hard sand and rock, breaking down on tho east and west, in terraces, to the sea. Those terraces, of irregular width, and bounded, towards, the interior, by lofty mountain ranges of limestone and sandstone, are intersected in every direction by valleys, (called by tho Arabs Wadiet,”) conducting off tho water during tho rainy season, but, at other times, arid in tlie extreme, and without verdure, except what is afforded by a few hardy shrubs,, sub- sisting mainly on tlie dew. Far down in the southern anglo of the ]>eninsula rises tho volcanic range of Sinai, consisting of enormous masses of red granite, projected from the earth’s central abyss, and appearing, when surveyed from any prominent peak, like an occan in a slorm, suddenly “petrified and fixed forever.

The spiritual ladder consists

The spiritual ladder consists

There is a similar phenomenon that manifests itself on the corporeal level. Many researchers claim tliat humankind cannot perceive an external phenomenon as long as it is not present in a similar form in that person’s mind.

The film, what the bleep do we know.’, offers a good exam­ple of that concept with a story about the native americans who

Watched columbus’ armada arrive at the shores of america. The story has it that the indians standing at the seashore couldn’t ac­tually see the ships that anchored not far from land. The shaman, an imaginative man, was troubled by the unusual movement of the ripples without any apparent reason. For many hours he gazed at the water crying to figure out whac was causing the ripples.

Through his efforts, he finally managed to discern the sliape of the body tliat produced the ripples and thus was able to see the ships. Subsequently, he described wliat lie saw to his tribesmen, and because they trusted him, they, too, succeeded in creating the form of die ships, until they all saw columbus’ ships.

Kabbalah asserts that nothing exists outside the human mind. Creating the model of the ship in the shaman’s mind built the picture of the ship for him, which the sliaman thought ex­isted oucside of him. Actually, a ship does not exist on the outside whatsoever; it is only we who are conditioned to relate to reality as independently existing in an outside reality in which we are mak­ing daily discoveries. Kabbalists, however, say that all innovations are merely new models inside our own minds.

Once we acquire a true vision of reality, we feel that the previous vision was completely fictitious, like a dream. If we want to perceive the actual reality, we must build real models widiin us. This is the meaning of the ascent from the fictitious world to the real world. Indeed, this is why humankind was given the wisdom of kabbalah, and what evokes these models within us.
