In a distance of 24 miles irom hereto its upper source the Jordan descends 1700 feet, and 1100 feet in the 12 miles from the source at Banias ;the sur face of L«ke lluleh being hut 7 miles abo\ <• the Mediterranean sea- level, and .he direct lineal distance between Galilee b» Dr. W.

They arc the j by one of Rothschilds, and called direct descendants of the half- * 1 Koshpinah, at a place named in Arabic Ja’aunah and commanding a fine view of the lake just refer- .alee lluleh am 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.

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 (Continued on 7th Page.)
