4.9/5 (29108 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Historical Sketch of John Phillips: A Baccalaureate Discourse Midway between Upper and Lower Palestine, that ancient country which somewhat resembles New Hampshire in surface features as in size, is still clearly identified this object of tender interest to all travellers, - the Well at Sychar. High mountains of classic fame rise close at hand. A wide fertile plain, having also its traditions, stretches in the other direction toward the Jordan. Yet nothing arrests the eye and feet of the traveller like this old well. For, sitting by its side, we seem to clasp hands across the centuries with the patriarch who digged it and with the generations of his children who drank thereof, themselves and their cattle. Yes; and with One greater than the patriarch Jacob, who at noontide sat on this very well; and, making it His text, spoke wonderful words touching the nature of God and the scope of His saving love. One has to think, too, of the public spirit that man displayed who digged this well; of the good far beyond what he sought has flowed from it to successive generations, so as to make this his most fitting monument. For, after all, every man builds his own monument, rather than posterity for him. Some, indeed, like children playing upon the shore, write their names on the sand to be obliterated by the returning tide; the next generation forgets them. Others, with a clearer, deeper wisdom, write theirs upon the souls they have blessed, the institutions of charity they have founded, - monuments more imperishable than brass.
