Excerpt from The Land of Sacred Story Knowing that in a certain sense we were traveling for the benefit Of others, we constantly kept before our mind the necessity Of thoroughness, and Often climbed through ruins on foot under a burning sun, which we would not have done, but for the necessity of seeing what we have described. In many instances we give the present native name Of places. We do this for the benefit Of Bible students. The native name is given in italic, and, in most instances, either pre ceded or followed by the translation. Should this narrative fall into the hands of those who still have honest doubts about the truthfulness Of the Bible, we can but hope the many allusions we make, and incidents related illustrating the fulfillment of its predictions, will be helpful to them. Many a man says ifi could only be assured, I would believe. We assure all such, that time and again we were overwhelmed with the reality Of the Sacred Record. With this brief introduction, we invite the reader to the narrative itself, hoping God will bless you in the reading as he has us in the writing.
