Finally drawing close to his intended destination, Pepperdine enters the Holy Land by train.  Traversing the Israeli countryside, he comments on their method of farming, where farm lands are vastly spread across the landscape, but all of the farmers live close together in small villages.  He doesn’t imagine this method would work well for his friends in Kansas, as their livestock would quickly become intermingled and it would be difficult to ascertain who owned what.  He notes that he sees many cows and even camels but no horses, and also remarks at the tastiness of the local oranges, although he declines to compare them to California’s.  He moves through Ludd, Joppa, and the plains of Sharon, before finally focusing in on Jerusalem.  Here, he indulges readers with an in-depth history of the city and the various occupiers, entailing the struggle of the Jewish people in their homeland.  He gets as far as the crusades before deciding that he does not have time to fully relate all of Palestinian history, jumping forward only briefly to explain how Jerusalem came to be under British control.  He then, in jovial moment, taunts audiences to guess what strange object he has located in the Holy city, eventually revealing it to be a thoroughly out of place derelict Ford.
