Arabic Ja’aunah and commanding
a fine view of the lake just refer-

ng eleven miles.
M. Thomson in “The
the Book” gives the
ide of this region thus:
“The lluleh lake, anil marsh, and
plain, and fruitful field is unrival
led in biauty in this land, no ma
ti«r when or from what point be
held—from the heights of Ilcr-
mon, the lulls of Naphtali, the
plain 01 Ijon, or the groves of
Banias, in ihidwinter or midsum
mer, in the evening or in the
morning. It lies like a vast car
pet. with patterns of every shade
and shape and size, and laced ail
over with countless silver threads;
those laughing brooks of the lluleh,
now concealed; here weaving sil
ver tissue into cunning complica
tions with graceful curves, and
there expanding into broad and
gleaming patterns, like full-faced
mirrors. The plain is clothed with
flocks, and the solemn stork is
there, and herds ot black buffalo
bathe in the pools. The lake is
alive with fowls, the trees with
birds, and the air with bees. At
all times fair, but fairest of all in
early spring and at even-tide when
the golden sunlight pervading the
ethereal amber fades into the
fathomless blue of heaven.”
The other And “darker side to
this picture, in which ‘every pros
pect pleases,’ ” as Dr. R. L. Stew
art in “The Land of Israel,” says,
“may be seen in the wretched and
homeless condition of the nominal
possessors of this bountiful region.
Owing partly to the insecurity of
life and property, and partly to the
deadly malarial exhalations from
earth and water, the plain does not
have a single permanent habita
tion throughout its extent, except
in the border village ot Banias.
There are said to be forty Arab vil
lages in this lowland district, but
their inhabitants are tenants at
will and the houses are flimsy con
structions of papyrus reeds and
nnul.”
It was in this vicinity that we
had our closest view of the Bed
ouin Arab, one of them presenting
the writer with a niee walking
stick made o‘ the oak of Hashan,
which he now treasures at home.
And here is as fitting a place to
describe these people as we shall
have in recounting our travels
among then., and in so doing we
could have no truer representation
ot the tacts than that by Karl
Baedekc1:
“The Arabian population con
sists of imdari ui settled, and be-
dawi [pi. bedu] or nomadic tribes.
The latter are mostly of pure Arab
blood; the settled population is of
verv mixed origin. The ancient
3avage nomads who have inhabited
Arabia from time immemorial.
Their dwellings consist of porta
ble tents made of black goats’
hair. | Such doubtless were the
black tents ot Redar mentioned in
Solomon’s Song, i:5. | The 111a
terial is woven by ttie Bedouin wo
men, and is of very close texture,
almost impervious to rain. The
tent is formed by stretching this
stuff over poles, one side being
left open to a height of five or six
feet. It is then divided into two
compartments; one for the women,
I the other fur the men. In the cen
tre of the latter is arranged a fire
place, the fuel used in which con
sists of dried brushwood and dung.
The Bedouins live by cattle breed
ing, and possess immense herds ui
sheep and camels. They can rare
ly be induced to till the soil. Sev
eral tribes, however, are gradually
becoming more settled, and this
transition is actively promoted by
government. The Bedouins gen
erally live very poorly, their chief
food being bread and milk; but
when a guest arrives they kill a
sheep or goat, and occasionally
even a camel. The traveller should
generally make for the first tent
on the right of the entrance to the
encampment, that being the tent
of the sheikh or chief. Tae Bed
ouins regard the laws of hospital
ity as inviolable, and they deem it
their duty to protect their guest
for three days after his departure
from their camp. War occupies
much of the time of these tribes,
the occasion being usually some
quarrel about pastures or wells,
l he law ut retaliation also causes
many complications. Travellers,
however, need be under no appre
hension for their lives, unless they
offer armed resistance, and have
the misfortune to kill one of their
assailants. Among these children
ot the desert, life is highly prized
and not lightly to be destroyed;
but they are notorious thieves, and
have little respect for the property
of others. For thousands of years
there has been constant hostility
between the peasantry and the
nomadic trides, and it requires the
utmost efforts ot government to
protect the former against the ex
tortions of the latter. It some
times happens, however, that the
peasantry prefer paying ‘brother
hood’ [khuwweh.a tribute in grain]
or black mail, to their predatory
neighbours, to trusting to the pro
tection of government, as the
Turkish governors and tax-gather
ers are otten even more oppressive
and rapacious than the Bedouins.
Fortunately for the government,
these wandering tribes are seldom
on amicable terms with each other.
The Bedouins are very fond of
singing, story-telling, and poetry,
which last, however, is at present
in a state of very imperfect de
velopment. ”
As we rode away irom Ain Mel-
lahah and the Bedouin encamp
ment next day we coul 1 see a
cloud of pelicans flying o\' from
Lake lluleh ahead of us toward
red to. The Turkish government
exacts a tax of 33 1-3 per cent, on
everything they raise. [“There is

retained bv the villagers with re- i observed to the west two brown
stops the Zionist movement ef
fectually for the present. What
the future has in store for them,
who can say?”]
Then we came to plain after
plain of lentiles [like large green
peas, each stalk standing up of it
self and thickly podded for a foot
or two], used much by the people
of the land and tourists also at
meals. Here was a “Land ot
Promise” indeed. It was not long
afterwards that we passed the road
branching off to Sated, a city ot
about 25,000 people, one ot the
four sicred cities of the Jews, and
a conspicuous object from almost
any point on the shores of the Sea
of Galilee, and conjectured to have
been specially alluded to by the
Saviour in the words: “A city that
is set on a hill cannot be hid.”
(Matt. 5:14).
Proceeding on our way we come
next to an old stone inn, well-pre
served, and termed Khan Jubb
Yusef (“the Inn of Joseph’s Pit"),
an erroneous Moslem tradition
among the Arab geographers, hav
ing confounded Safed with Doth
an, and put Joseph's pit absurdly
here. The two of us that headed
the procession, as it pushed on its
way, in a short while were the
first whose eyes were greeted with
the sight of the Sea Galilee, “Blue
Galilee," in the shape of a lyre
with the bulge to the northwest.
Then each of us felt the force of
McCheyne’s words:
“How pleasant to me thy deep-
blue wave,
O Sea of Galilee;
For the Glorious One who came
to save,
Hath often stood by thee.
Graceful around thee the moun
tains meet,
Thou calm, reposing sea,
But, oh, far more! the beautiful
feet
Of Jesus walked o’er thee.”
Over the mountains and waving
plains, and through the thistles we
journeyed until we descended ai
the gate leading into the enclosing
wall about some ancient ruins and
the modern Franciscan monastery
of the Latin Church in a garden
ot grapes, figs, apricots and vege
tables, at the village of Tell Hum,
which consists of about a dozen
miserable huts. In the cool mon
astery hall we took our noonday
lunch, being waited on at tables
by our dragoman and his assist
ants watched and aided by the
silent Franciscans. Afterwards
we went out to look at such of the
old ruins as were visible. Most of
the ruins were covered over by the
Franciscans in order to acquire
possession of the land; and they

A few counterfeiters have lately been

for over il.» years. A sure protection, to
you, is our mime on the wrapper. Look
