1 8 Mr. K. T. Frost on Side Lights on Bible History. 



aspect. He would only add in that connection that if facts and 

 measurements and actually existing evidence were found to square 

 with the sacred record the testimony was infinitely more signi- 

 ficant than mere philological deductions. A succession of views 

 were thrown upon the screen, these illustrating Biblical history 

 in connection with Sinai, Gilead, Moab, the Jordan, Jericho, the 

 Dead Sea, Geza, and Jerusalem. The lecturer commented on 

 each in colloquial but graphic manner, and narrated many 

 personal experiences of his travels in Palestine. Concluding his 

 remarks, which were illuminated by flashes ot entertaining 

 humour, he said the historical setting of the Biblical records 

 supported their authenticity, quite apart from any other evidence. 

 On the motion of Sir William Crawford, J.P., seconded 

 by the Rev. Dr. Hanson, a hearty vote of thanks was passed to 

 Mr. Frost for his fresh and stimulating lecture, and the pro- 

 ceedings terminated.
