The village of Nazareth, nesting
among the hills of Galilee, must always
be place of supreme interest to the
Christian. Its location was probably
determined by the presence of an un-
failing spring, now known as Mary 8
fountain. DR.. George Adam Smith in
his Historical Geography of the Holy
Land" points out the relation between
the springs and the routes Of travel and
emphasizes the prominence, Of Naz-
hood and young manhood were spent
near a great highway, for the old
Roman road, from Damascus to Egypt
ran thru the town. Caravans passed to
and fro laden with the riches of the
Euphrates and the Nile; princes passed
that way on their, royal journeys, and
in time Of war it was the route OF
armies. From high hill Just outside
the town Christ could look to the west
and see the surhine on the shore of the
Mediterranean, to the east he could
survey the walls of the chasm in which
lay the Sea Of Galilee, while to- the
northeast rose Hermon, the pride of the
mountains. Several of: his parallels fit
quite naturally into the scenes upon
which he looked, and. those parallels
were the more, effective because they

A few miles to the east of Nazareth
is village called Cana, which claims
to be the =" Cana of Galilee' where the
first miracle was performed and a
church has been erected over a we'll

taken that was turned into wine, but

The Sea Of Galilee has a double claim

Josephus collected -230 ships upon one
of his expeditions upon the sea. and in
a sea fight that took place there the
number killed on one side alone was
given at from 1000 to 5000.
The sea was full of fish, and the Cos
pels furnish abundant proof of the i'm
portance of fishing as an industry, a
fact also established by outside evil
dence. DR.. Merrill. in the book above
referred to, says that the fish taken
were not only sufficient to satisfy the
local demands, but that they were
packed and shipped to Jerusalem and
even to cities along the Mediterranean.

Galilee in the designation of the, sea.
Tiberias was one Of the sacred cities
of the Jews, and today the descendants
of the Hebrew race, constitute three
fourths of it's population. A Jewish
society. Of which Baron Rothschila is
the patron, has several schools here, and
a number Of the residents devote them
selves entirely to the study of law.
Near Tiberias are the hot springs
spoken Of by Jesephus, and their heal
ing waters still have a great reputa-
tion. The lighthouses are not kept as
they would be in Europe or America,
but the mineral properties of the water
make it very invigorating.
A Jewish synagogue has been erected
by the hot springs, and the annual feast
it was the only feast of the kind we
ever attended, we found it exceedingly
interesting. The devout Jews were
gathered in great numbers, some COM
ing several davs journey; many of the
men wore long curl in front of each
ear, a custom which we first noticed in
Jerusalem. The feast is an occasion Of
rejoicing, and there is DANCING, music
mony is the burning of garments con-
tributed by those in attendance, and
the right. to light the fire is made a
matter Of auction. We went into the
room where the bidding was in progress
and were informed that more than $40
had already been offered for the honor.
The feast has many of the character,
istics of fair, the venders of candies
/ cakes, drinks and merchandise plying
their trade, and different delegations
marching with banners.
There is at Tiberias splendidly
equipped hospital established by the
United Free Church Of Scotland and

corps of assistants. More than. l5C
persons were treated the day, We
visited the hospital. Surely this in

The upper part of the plain is as

of the valley, and the land is appor-

,vations have unearthed the foundations
of building believed to have been the
Jewish synagogue in which Christ spoke.
On one of the stones of this synagogue
is a representation Of David's seal
and pot of mama; if TINS is in reality
the synagogue in which Christ referred
to the bread of life. it may be true, as
someone has suggested, that he found
the text: "Your fathers did eat mama
in the Wilderness in this carving
upon the stone.
There has been great deal of dis
cussion over the site of Bethsaida, and
some have argued that there were two
towns OF the same name, one on the
north end of the lake Just east of the
mouth Of the Jordan, and the other on
the west side not far from Capernaum.
But both towns have so completely dis

shore. A resident of Tiberias told us
i that he had seen it when it might be
mistaken for an ocean, so violently was
it agitated, and he bore testimony also
to the unexpected squalls that visit it.
We spent two days on the sea, and
in crossing it found the wind so vari-
able that probably half q dozen times
the sail became useless and it was nec-
essary to resort to the oars. There was
no great tempest while we were there;
and the waves did not g beat into the
ship,' but the wind was at times con
trary. The uncertainty of the weather
has been attributed to the numerous
ravines or canyons which, run down
from the mountains round about the
sea, and as some of these are the same
now that they were 1000 years ago

the same risk that it was then.

TURN THE RASCALS OUT.

The system of disposing of the spoils
of office, not included under the civil
service rules, in the Southern states is
decidedly partisan and presents front
of organized activity that is refreshing
ly Republican. The President has turn
ed over the disposal Of these federal
offices to Republican boss, or com
mittee Of bosses. themselves offices-hold-
ers, or office-seekers. In North Carolina
the recent Republican convention passed
"a resolution requiring all candidates for
federal positions to file applications for
positions with the executive committee
and to agree in writing to abide by the
decision of the Committee. So bold
have these ofiiceholders become in their
partisan activity that Senator Simmons
declares that they present front Of
organized activity never before shown
by them in this state" and he further
declared. IF the people could not other
wise procure protection against unwar-
ranted interference" he would deem it
his duty to call the matter to the atten-
ton of Congress and ask for an investi-
cation. Yet this Administration claims
to be in favor of Civil Service Reform
and opposed TO undue activity by federal
officeholders. Turn the rascals out
