Pilgrimage

Since the days of the palmers, pilgrimaging to Jerusalem has become less and less devout, until now many people visit the Holy City with no higher motive than curiosity.

Once again, however, the world is to see a holy pilgrimage; for it was announced, a fortnight ago, that a party of 300 eminent pilgrims, under the tutelage of William Jennings Bryan, will sail on a two months' cruise to Palestine and intervening points on Feb. 25 next.

This congregation of religious persons will assemble every Sunday during the trip and Bryan will hold a Sunday Bible class. In addition, at inspiring points in the tour, he will deliver appropriate and inspiring preachments: At Mars Hill, Athens, on The Unknown God; at Cairo, on Joseph's Dream and Moses The Lawgiver; on Good Friday, on the Mount of Olives Gethsemane; at Bethlehem, in the Church of the Nativity, on Easter Saturday, The Prince oj Peace; on the Mount of Olives, on Easter, The Great Commission of Christ; in Samaria, Noaman the Leper: at Damascus, Paul's Heavenly Vision; etc., 16 addresses in all.

The cost of the pilgrimage has not been publicly announced.

Mrs. Bryan, an invalid, will accompany the pilgrims, being carried from place to place on a stretcher.

Questioned as to the authenticity of the reports about the pilgrimage, Mr. Bryan telegraphed: "Yes, announcement of pilgrimage to Holy Land next spring is true."
