Excerpt from Everyday Life in the Holy Land Thirdly, this life is absolutely uniform. From the far South of Egypt to the far North Of Syria all things are alike. Every piece Of furniture, every agricultural or horti cultural implement, every manufacture, the building and arrangement Of every house - all is Of one pattern. Every work Of the same kind is done everywhere in the same way. Variety is charming is a Western proverb which the Orient utterly repudiates. The spirit Of the East calls, in all things, for a stereotyped and monotonous uniformity. If you have seen one pattern of inkpot, pen, table, coffee cup, brazier, ewer and basin, shirt, Cloak, girdle, head-dress, footgear, you have seen all. NO different modes, no passing fashions, change, or ever have Changed, the primitive features of Pales tine life. To Western minds, and in an age like ours, this seems little less than a standing miracle. Thus wonderfully has the power and goodness Of God afiorded us, through out the lands Of the Bible, a living, accurate, exhaustive, divinely preserved commentary on its inspired pages!
