THE TE MPLE, '01 CHAPTER I. A FIRST VIEW OF JERUSALEM, AND OF THE TEMPLE. .. And when He was· come near, He beheld the city, and wept over it.LUKE xix. 41. I N every age, the memory of Jerusalem has stirred the deepest feelings. Jews, Christians, and Mohammedans turn to it wan reverent affection. It almost seems as if in some sense each could call it his "happy home," the .. name ever dear" to him. For our holiest thoughts of the past, and our happiest hopes for the future, connect themselves with "the city of our God." We know from many passages of the Old Testament, but especially from the Book of Psalms, with what ardent longing the exiles from Palestine looked towards it; and during the long centuries of dispersion and cruel persecution, up to this day, the same aspirations have breathed in almost every service of the synagogue, and in none more earnestly than in' that of the paschal night, which to us is for ever associated with the death of our Saviour.
