Even the Word beholds in him an earnest of his own incarnation, resurrection, and ascension from Olivet. But we, like the "fifty strong men," would find them and bring them back; and, like Peter, would build tabernacles to retain them.
What hast thou done? his blood cries to me for vengeance: thou art cursed upon earth, a wanderer for ever. When he reached the torrent of Cedron, and saw Mount Olivet, he shuddered, turned away, and again the words vibrated in his ear, 'Friend, whereto art thou come?
"I wonder if the new lion, the Dean of Olivet, will go to West Point to-morrow," she said in a tone of seeming indifference. "Oh, yes! It is in all the papers. He is to be the guest of the chaplain," replied Cora. "I wonder what train he will go by." "Oh, I don't know that. He may go by the night boat." "The Dean of Olivet would never travel on Sunday night."
"Give it to me." Sylvan handed her the letter, Cora opened it, glanced over it, and exclaimed: "Uncle Fabian says that he will be home the last of this month." Brother and sister went to Newport and spent a month. The Dean of Olivet was in the town, but they never met him because they never went into society. Toward the last of June, Corona proposed that they should go at once to Rockhold.

The sun, rising over the slopes of Olivet, would fall on the gathered crowd, if the water-gate was, as is probable, on the east or south-east side of the city.
Now it is the Latins who interfere, and allow the common church to go to ruin, because the Greeks purpose to roof it; now the Greeks demolish a monastery on Mount Olivet, and leave the ground to the Turks, rather than allow the Armenians to possess it.
For a quarter of a century he had been a true and tried member of Mount Olivet Church, but of late he had been much wrought upon by the holiness agitation. "Spooky" Crane was there. Crane was a harmless half-wit who lived alone in a shanty at the back of Deacon Gramps' field.
So the Roman quit himself of them, and in the city of their fathers they were once more free. Up to the stars, twinkling merrily as of old, they looked; then they asked themselves, "What next? and where to?" About the hour Gesius, the keeper, made his appearance before the tribune in the Tower of Antonia, a footman was climbing the eastern face of Mount Olivet.
The most sacred picture that hangs on the wall of my memory is that of my father with the big family Bible on his lap and all the children gathered around him and Mother for the worship of his God. Well do I remember when he used to pray for us, naming us out one by one and asking God to make us useful men and women. And oh, how he used to be persecuted by the Mount Olivet people.
