A TRIP TO PALESTINE
?l-XK-W* By K?s v. Howard P. Powell?X?;?X??X,*XMH"I*,K*
Capernaum was .soon reached aft
er old Rethsaida. as the distance is
a little ler?s than fAS'o mile. Caper
naum is not mentioned in the Old
Testament, hut in the New Testa
ment it is mentioned as a town of
some importance. "It is especially
significenf. as the place where Jesus
settled, and which became the centre
of His teaching. Finally, the people
of Capernaum turned against Christ,
Who prophesied, 'And thou, Caper
naum . . . shalt be brought down to
hell/ " One can see, long before
reaching *the ancient ruins of the
city, fhat this prophecy was fulfill
ed.
All that remains of the ancient
city of Capernaum is the synagogue,
which is the principal ruin. This an
cient synagogue is elaborately con- i
ceived on a classical model. "It was
attributed to Sir C. Wilson, who, in
1866, first excavated t-he ruins, to
the centurion mentioned in the Gos
pels.' 1ft will be interesting for |
the reader to read for himself the ac" |
count of this centurion in the Gospel
of Luke, chapter 7, verses 1 through j
1 0. This synagogue is well preserv- i
t d, after having been excavated, and
is a place of peculiar inspiraotion,
since it is the one place where one
may believe with confidence that j
Jesus taught Himself.
Near f-he synagogue, and close by
the Sea of Galilee, we were direct- '
ed to the remaining foundation of
the ancient home of Simon Peter. It
was easy to picture in our imagina
tion that day when Jesus healed the
man who was the servant of cen-j
turion following their conversation, '
that from there He went to the home
of Simon Peter and healed Ms moth- ;
er-in-law. He no doubt went often ,
from His teaching in f-he synagogue
to Simon Peter's home for rest and
meditation.
They are still excavating at Ca- .
pernaum and Mtfere finding some 1
very interesting things during our [
visit there. Some of the ancient [
coins tell f-he story of the long ago.
There is a rather interesting school
at Capernaum which is meeting the 1
needs of the Catholic cchildren and
young people of the community. This
Bchool has a splendid location and
the many flowers add to its attrac- j
tiveness.
After a short visit at Capernaum,
we left for Damascus. Leaving: the
sea of Galilee for Damascus one can
yet a better view of the sea than the
one approaching from Nazareth. The
winding 0k>ad brings a number of
views anid each one somehow ap
pears to be more beautiful than *he
last one. All the while the road
winds upward, and for a distance of
more than twenty miles the blue wa
ters of Galilee may be seen as one
rides toward the city of Damascus.
Bfore entering Syria we crossed
the Jordan_using "fhe Bridge of the
Daughters of Japob." We were de
layed for sometime at passport of
fice after crossing this bridge, but
the time was well employed in snap
ping pictures and visiting from car
to car.
After our visit to fhe Jordan some
days before we could share the en
thusiasm of Naaman for the rivers of
Damascus after seeing the Abana
and Pharpar. Before reaching Da
mascus we crossed the Pharpar riv
er several times. The reader will
find the fifth chapter of Second
Kings to be interesting to read af
this point in our story.
Damascus was approached from
the same direction of of Saul of Tar
sus as he came from Jerusalem. It
was easy for us to picture the scene
recorded in the ninth chapter of the
Acts of the Apostles in a new way
as we made his approachc. To see
Damascus from some miles distance,
it 5s a very beautiful city. However,
when one gets into the city with its
dirth and filth it is very unattrac
tive.
Damascus is the oldest city in the
world, with a population of approx
imately 300,000. It is celebrated for
the variety of wares displayed in its
shops. They usually close an hour
or two before sunset, and open two
or three hours alter sunrise. Bar
gaining is necessary in Damascus,
as well as in Jerusalem. After a
visit to the city of Damascus it is
easy for one to understand why it
is that those men coming from Syria
to America have so often succeeded
in business. This is a part of their
training for life.
We are now in front of the Pal
ace Hotel in the city of Damascus
where we are to be entertained and
from which we will make a tour of
the city in our next chapter.
