now there are only nameless ruins. This
beautiful lake charms every sense. 1t Is
at once food, drink and air, rest to the
eye, GOODNESS in the heat, an escape from
the crowd and a means of travel very well
come in SO exhausting a climate. Even
those who do not share its memories of
Christ feel an enthusiasm for it. The rab-
bis said: Jehovah hath created seven
seas, but the sea of Gennesaret is His de-
light"
Christ's presence hallows the sea and its
shores. He looked on its quiet beauty; He
stilled its wild waves; He glorihed it's rocky
shores. On its bosom several apostles were
called to be Fishers of men," In its waters
Peter sank until Christ saved him from a
watery grave, and on its shores Christ met
His disciples after His resurrection, in the
gray dawn of the morning, while a miracu-
lous meal was prepared ON the shore.
Most refreshing was our halt at Shunem.
with its beautiful grove, its musical and
delicious streams and its tender memories
of Elisha and the family in which he found
a hospitab.e welcome. We resumed our
journey and, turning the western part of
Little Hermon, as this part Of the mount
has been called since the time of Jerome
and which is probably identical with the
hill Moveh, we were in less than an hour at
Main. The word Main, according to some,
means green pasture, but according to
others and with better reason, fair OF
graceful.
Raising the Widows Son.
The name is mentioned nowhere in the
old testament and not elsewhere in the new
except in connection with the raising Of the
widows son. The name has always been
preserved and 1t was often tenderly men
toned in the time OF the crusaders and the
place is frequently visited by travellers OF
the present time. 1t is near Endor and
about four miles southwest of Tabor. 1t Ii

where the hill descends into the plain o.
Esdraelon. 1t commands a fine view of the
hills of Galilee.
Once 1t was a town of considerable eX'
tent, but now it is a poor village o.
wretched mud huts, with heaps of rubbish
and many old ruins. Its dwellings are few
only about twenty in number, and the pop
ulation is correspondingly small. Its mod

cient name, Main. It's foundation has donC

surpass this view. In several respects they
are quite right. But the thought of Christ's
presence glorifies mountains, shore and sea
and makes this the most interesting and
transcendently beautiful place on this
globe.
The lake was really the center of the
trade of the province. Here, then, was the
touch with the commerce, the industry and
the powerful Greek influences OF the time.
Near Tiberias the water is polluted with
sewage, but elsewhere it is entirely fit for
drinking purposes, although it is somewhat
brackish, which brackishness is due to the
salt springs on the shore. A bath In the
lake is very enjoyable, as in it are many
warm springs.
The depression of the lakes causes the
tropical heat here experienced; 1t also
accounts for the semi-tropical vegetation
on the shores. Excellent fish abound In
the lake, including several tropical species,
which now, as in ChTist's day duke v:6)
are seen in large shoals. Great interest at
taches to chromis, as they are called, the
male of which carries the eggs and the
young in its mouth and also to the coraenius
of Josephus and the barbur of the Arabs,
which gives out a sound.
Boats abound on the lake. Many trav-
elers, partly because of the sacred asso-
Citations, prefer to go by boat from Tiberias
to Capernaum. Boats can be had large
enough to hold from ten to twelve passen-
gers, in addition to the rowers. Both sides
of the lake can, Of course, be best seen from
a boat, and in this way the gospel scenes
also can be made more real than wher
one rides or walks on the shore. But q
careful bargain ought to be made, as the

In Christ's time the ships and boats or

considerable towns on the shores of III
lake. Among these were BethsaIda, Caper.
naum, Chorazin, Tiberias and Magdala
These towns contained a large and busy
population. Dr. Selah Merrill indorses the
strong statements of J%osephus regarding
the great size of the population of Galilee al
a whole, and also the statement mentioned
above, that many vessels then enliveneC
the lake.

Tiberias is now the only town visible

Turning Water Into Wine.
Let us begin with the miracles of turning
water into wine at Cana Of Galilee. Leav-
ing Nazareth early in the morning we soon
come to the traditional Cana, about four
miles east of Nazareth, on the road to
Tiberias. Some travellers, and among them
Drs. Robinson and Porter. object to the
traditional Cana as the site of the ancient
Cana. They locate 1t at Kana-El Jelli, near
S6pplOTlS anu dDOuI hluO liS VI
Nazareth. 1t is by no means certain which
is the true site.
There is in the vicinity a large spring en-
closed by a wall. and II this is the true
Cana, as l think 1t is, the water used at
the marriage feast at the time OF our
Lords visit was almost certainly drawn
from this spring. Water pots of compact
limestone are still used in the ~neighbor-
hnnd Thara "a q ANAL Crack church and
1t is declared that one Of the very water
pots used at the marriage feast may be
seen here.
This miracle at Cana was, as we are here
informed, 1.-The beginning of miracles" 1t
is a remarkable thing that Christ did not
perform miracles until now. The apocry-
phal gospels represent Him as having per-
formed many miracles during His bOyhood
and early manhood. One has only to com
pare the accounts of those miracles with
the true to see the difference between in
spired and uninspired writings. They are
frivolous, puerile and often ludicrous. They
lack the majesty, dignity and divinity OF
the gospel narratives. Christ bided His
time.
This mil acle began the series. This in
auguration was as significant in its pro-
phetic meaning regarding His earthly min
istry as was His first parable. The first
parable was that of the sower. 1t sug-
gests the whole WORK of our Lord in His
public ministry. He came to SOW the good
seed OF the kingdom" Not less prophetic
is this first miracle. 1t suggests the whole
purpose OF Christ's earthly life. He came
to ennoble, to tTansmute, to glorify, to diyt-
nize. AS He now turned water into wine
so His entire ministry was to be the turn

service. Isolation of the domestic en-
ploye's life was another, for, according
to many of the answers, the position the
domestic occupied permitted Of no social
intercourse between her and any member
of the family. All who answered the
questions seemed to agree that domestic
service carried with it a badge of social
inferiority. Mr.. O'Donnel stated that the
real cause of the objection to domestic
service was, in his opinion, the fact that
while in all other occupations it was the
