The valley of Hinnom bounds the western and southern lines of the city wall; but between it and the railway there is a ridge of land ; and as we cross it in driving toward the town, we look down into that part of the valley where of old the pious King Josiah " defiled Tophet, which is in the valley of the chil- dren of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Moloch ; " and where long afterward, as Jeremiah records, the heav- en-defying children of Juda...h " built the high places of Baal, which are in the val- ley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Moloch. " As we leave this ill-famed ravine and turn toward the east, the lofty wall of 1 1 6 EA STERN JO URNE VS. Jerusalem and the massive towers of the citadel are immediately before us. We 'are on the outer slope of Mount Zion, the sanctuary and the abode of David ! The ponderous blocks which form the lower strata of the wall might have been shaped and put in place by some prehistoric race of giants.
