Excerpt from The Home Life of Jesus of Nazareth &C Many thoughts arise on the mention of Nazareth, of Nazareth where Jesus was "brought up." Yet how little do we know concerning the wonderful events transacted there, we who would gladly know so much. How shall Christians penetrate the mysteries of Nazareth, - that village or mountain-town, and yet city in Scripture phraseology, - difficult of access in all senses, the place itself remote, set in a hollow on a mountain side? We may indeed visit the modern town of Nazareth at this present time, and happy are they who can do so. Men can even drink at will from the very fountain, it may be, at which Mary filled her pitcher. But how conjure Nazareth back to the eye of faith as it appeared when inhabited by the saviour of the world?
