In past ages the Jews have paid immense sums to their oppressors for the miserable satisfaction of kissing these stones, and pouring out lamentations at the foot of their ancient sanctuary. With trembling lips and tearful eyes they sing: "Be not wroth very sore, O Lord, neither remember iniquity forever; behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. Thy holy cities are a wilderness; Jerusalem is a desolation. Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire, and all our pleasant things are laid waste."

The Golden Gate, in the east wall of the Temple Area, is ancient, and the interior of it ornamented with rich and elaborate carving in good Grecian style. It is now walled up. GARDEN OP GETHSEMANE. —"Then cometh Jesus to a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder."—Matt. 26 : 36. 8
