EDWIN SMITH'S MODEL OF JERUSALEM, AS IT NOW IS.
THE former of these neat and accurate models will be found very helpful to the Biblical student. As regards the latter, it has a melancholy interest; and as in spirit we sit and muse upon its desolations, as it has been trodden down of the Gentiles, who may describe what Jerusalem shall be? But., as we look on her in bondage with her children, it is sweet to remember that the time is short, and the Lord will say to Zion: "Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.... All flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob."
It may be added, that many well known travelers have attested the extreme accuracy of the model of Jerusalem and the adjacent country.
