/ did not mean to cross over to the eastern
side of Lake Galilee even in discussion.
Pull away, We Arab oarsmenl And we
come along the shore near by which stand
great prccipices of brown and red and gray
limestone crowned by bAsalt, In the sides
of which are vast caverns, sometimes the
hiding place OF bandits, and sometimes the
homo Of honest shepherds, and sometimes
the dwelling place OF pigeons and vultures
and eagles During ono OF Herod's wars
his enemies hid in these mountain caverns
and the sides were too steep for Herod's
army to descend, and the attempt to climb
in the face of armed men would have
called d.>wn determination. So Herod had
great cages Of wood, iron bound, made and
filed them with soldiers and let them
down from the top of the precipiccs until
they gave signal that they were level with
the caverns, and then from these cages
they stepped out to the mouth of the cav
erns, and having set enough grass and
wood on fire to I'LL the caverns with smoke
and strangulation, the hidden people
would come forth TO die; and If not coming
forth voluntarily Herod's men would pull
them out with long iron hooks, and Jose
phus says that one father, rather than sub
nit to the attacking army, flung his wife
and seven children down the precipice and
then leaped after them to his own death.
We WANT TO PREACH CAPERSAUM
Now, ye Arab oarsmen, row on with
swifter stroke, for we want before noon to
land at Capernaum, the three years. homo
of Jesus. But before arrival there we arc
to have a new experience. The lake that
had been q smooth surface begins to break
up into roughness. The air. which all the
morning made our sail almost useless, sud
denly takes hold of our boat with a gri
astonishing, and our poor craft begins TO
roll and pitch and able, and in five min
utes we pass from a calm to violence. The
contour Of this lake among the hills is an
invitation TO hurricanes. l used to won
der why il was that on so limited a sheet
of water a bestormed boat in Christ's timc
did not put back to shore when hurri-
cane was coming. Iwonder no more.
On that lake an atmospheric fury gives
no warning, and the change we saw in five
minutes made me feel that the boat in
which Christ sailed may have been skill
fully managed when the tempest struck it
aud the wild, importunate cry went up,
Lord save US or we per;shr' had all along
that morning been reading from the New
Testament the story Of occurrences on and
around that lake. But our Bible was
closed now, and it was as much as we could
do to hold fast, and wish for the land. IL
the winds and the waves had continued to
increase in violence the following fifteen
minutes in the same ratio as in the first
five, and we had been still at their mercy,
our bones would have been bleaching in
the bottom OF Lake Genncsaret instead of
our being here to tell the stery.
But the same power that rescued the
fishermen Of old today safely landed our
party. What Christ Tor rough weather
All the sailor boys ought TO fly to him as
