Book excerpt: Excerpt from Under Ten Flags: An Historical Pilgrimage Two years ago, a number of the personal friends of Isaac Errett, editor of the Christian Standard, presented him with a purse, and requested him to take leave of the cares and duties of his office, and visit Palestine. They knew that it had been one of the most fondly cherished desires of his life to see the land made sacred forever by the life and death of our Lord. Years ago he wrote a book entitled "Walks about Jerusalem." The writing of this book intensified his desire to walk about Zion, and go round about her; to tell the towers thereof; to mark well her bulwarks, and to consider her palaces. His friends believed that a trip of this character, while gratifying a lifelong desire, would afford him much-needed rest and refreshment, both of body and mind. When he decided to go, and was casting about for a genial and intelligent traveling companion, it was suggested to him that perhaps Z. T. Sweeney, Pastor of the Church of Christ in Columbus, Ind., could be induced to go with him. He was pleased with the suggestion, and wrote to Mr. Sweeney, and extended a cordial invitation to accompany him and share with him the pleasures and benefits of the trip. Mr. Sweeney accepted the invitation. The result justified the wisdom of the selection. They traveled together for six months, visiting many of the most famous and sacred scenes on earth. The reader is respectfully referred to the following pages for an account of what they saw and heard and felt.
