Preface

At the request of friends, I have endeavored to write a narrative of the cruise of the Grosser Kurfurst, the visit to Palestine, the World's Sunday School convention held in Jerusalem, and, on the return, of my trip through Europe.

In preparing this narrative I am indebted to others for valuable information and extracts, and for portions to cover a part of the itinerary that I did not make.

Many of the views. yere obtained by me while abroad, and I trust they will make the story more vivid and real to those who may not have been privileged to view these scenes for themselves.

Without doubt there are other narratives preferable, but my friends, to whom this story is dedicated, may find interest in and truly value this record in memory of the writer. JENNIE SCOTT.

The Other Side.

Across the sea I planned to go, And studied many books, to know About the pictures over there, And tried, in all things, to prepare Myself, that I might understand The wonders of that foreign land.

A few short years, and I must go Unto a land I do not know Beyond the stars. Should I prepare For my long journey over there?

Yes, let me leave no plan untried To fit me for the other side.
