Text Appearing Before Image: n, or Jezreel, toCarmel, was around us, showing the whole distance over which theanxious mother pressed so hurriedly to tell the prophet the sad fate ofher boy : and it was not difficult to understand how Elisha, standingon some height of the Carmel range opposite, could distinguish herfrom a great distance, so as to send Gehazi to ask her errand. The soileverywhere was evidently very rich, but wide stretches were left wild,and there was not a single village from one side to the other. El-]\[ahrakah, or the Place of Burning, has for many years beeninstly regarded as the scene of Elijahs contest with the priests ofBaal. It is the name given to a place near the ruined village of Man-surah.

Text Appearing After Image: XL.l TABOR, EL-MAHRAKAII, CARMEL. 525 of 1,000 foekto the great plain, at the edge of which, close to the hills,flows the Kishon, now comparatively low, but in the rainy seasonnnfordablc at this point. The first place at which it can be crossed isfarther south, w.here it is about twenty yards wide; but even tliere itreaches above the horses girth. The hewn stones around mark thespot where the altar built by Elijah had stood; but even that was onlythe reconstruction of a still more ancient altar, which Jezebel, in herfury against Jehovah, had cast down.^ It was in the vicinity of thissacred s[)ot, I should suppose, that Elisha lived when away in retire-ment on Carmel;- and it was in all ])robability to a spot above, whencethe Great Sea is seen swinging to and fro far beneath to the west, onthe other side of the mountains, that the servant of Elijah came upseven times to look for the sign of rain, which appeared at last in theform of the small cloud, known in Palestine, when it is seen
