By TOM HENSHAW Atieclaiad Praia Rillfllon Wrltar Jerusalem, Judea 16th year of the Caesar Tiberius ftAlUS my father, I transmit to you the warmest filial greetings of a forlorn son who realizes after but a short time the dreadful error he made In asking transfer to this place.

What did I do to deserve this, my new post of duty? Judea is a wretched land, oppressed by sun and wind and barren of the smallest pleasures and comforts of glorious ltomfc or even provincial Gaul. East of us lies a great sea in which whlchnot a living thing can sur-' vive. The land is a little better. And the people! Strange, incomprehensible people! People so far removed from sensible thought that the son.of a lowly carpenter can ride Into the city on an one and be called king and be taken iously by the people in the streets! Seething Hotbed Strangest of the strange are the Jews who reject all the gods but one and claim to be his chosen people. Chosen people indeed I If they are, why is it not they who rule Instead of Rome? Jerusalem is a seething hotbed of gossip and rumor, skawned in the superstitious fears and hopes of its wretched Inhabitants and heightened by the approach of a festival called passover, the holy season of the Jews who rapidly fill the city to over flowing.

The wildest of rumor has reached the ears of the Procurator for he has come all the way from Caesarea to supervise per sonally the maintenance of the peace. He is a timorous man, our Procurator Pilate, one who will go to great lengths to avoid trouble. Banners Removed My friend Titus tells me the fears go back to the time when he brought the banners of the Caesar into the city and it so aroused the Jews say, to become king of the Jews. Many Jews believe him to be the anointed by the Greeks the the savior promised by the prophets of old who would be sent by their one god to overthrow foreign rulers and restore the ancient kingdom of Israel. If this Galilean is the royal messlah then the Procurator has few worries for the man entered th' city yesterday riding an ass Instead of a kingly litter while his followers waved palm fronds instead of swords.

We who watched could scarcely contain our amusement. Nevertheless, our tmid Proc- curator has suspended the daily garrison routine and has ordered the soldiers to remain inconspicuous for fear of arosing the Jews. Personally, think one legion could clear the land of these people in a single day! A Sorcerer? My friend Titus has told me some of the many stories that circulate about the man from G' lllee who, for the past two or three years, has been agitating in the vicinity of Capernaum, on the shore of the great fresh water sea. He appears to be something of a sorcerer. One of the stories concerns a woman of Magdala, well-known to our troops in Galilee for her cuy ana ut virtues who was reformed that Tiberious himself the mere touch of the Gal manded Pilate and caused hand.

This time, the Procurator's chief concern is the carpenter's son, who has come all the way from Galilee in the tetrarchy of Herod Antipas to be in Jerusalem for the passover and, some come transformation. It is said too that a Roman centurion, of all people, became a follower of the Galilean after the sorcerer cured the centurion's servant of palsy.
