Tuesday, October 8, 1935 Editorial Correspondence Haifa, Monday morning, Sept. 9, 1935. I think last night was the hottest since 1 have l>een in Palestine We are just a lew hundred feet below Mount Carmel. upon which 1 gazed in the early morn ing, and just a stone's throw south of the Mediterran ean, where 12 ships of the ltrilish Naval Fleet are resting, and from which a searchlight played all night. I do not think they were looking fonthN.Italians nor for the Ahyssinians, and I know they were not look ing lor the iiwtss navv,, so they must have been stm ply maneuvering to let would-be warring nations re member they are here. On our trip yesterday, we drank from Jacob's Well, which is 132 feet deep and has 40 feet of apparently good water in it. This is the place where Christ me' the sinful Samaritan woman. The incident is fully described in John, 4:5-43. This well is one of the few undisputedly authentic spots in the country. It is in the piece of ground which Jacob had bought and on it, about 500 feet away, is the tomb of Joseph. Jacob s son His bones were brought here from Egypt long after his death. We saw the Plains of Dothan, where Joseph, the young and favorite son of Jacob, was taking food to his older brothers when they attempted to kill him or throw him in a pit, when the Ishmaelites came along and purchased him as a slave. For the full story read Genesis 37:12-36. , ?There were so many Important things which hap pened in this region and from here to Jerusalem that it is impossible to even mention them in a short spate. Vet they are so important to our Biblical history that every Sunday school boy or girl would be interested in the stories of war, of hate, and of love; they em brace events of cruelty and of love and mercy. Reference for the history of some of these jieople and places is matJe_Jo the following: 1 Kings, 16:23, 28, 29, 32 and 22:39; I Kings 184; II Kings 6:19-21, 10:1-17, 14:23, 15:8-23, 21:13, 23:18-19, 16:26. Ezekiel 16:40-55, 23:4-33; II Chonicles 22:9, 28:8-15, Isaiah 10:1-5-9 11; Mat thew 16:12; II Kings <rvfW5. I.uke 17:17, 11:19; r^amueTZST*; 31:1-13; II SamuoJ 1:1-27; II Kings" 1:21; Joshua 11:21; Genesis 59:14-15; II Kings 10:6-7. Damascus (Uamas), Syria. September 9, 1935. Started from Haifa at 9 a. m. for the Sea of Galilee and Damascus, the road leading through that i>art of Palestine in which were located 20 cities which Solo mon gave to Hiram of Tyre for materials and services which he had furnished in the temple construction. We stopped over at Nazareth at Mary's Spring, where she is said to have secured water for her fam ily's use. The home is only a block away. The spring is a rather large stream [touring from a hillside and is the only spring in Nazareth/ We drank front the spring and the water seemed good and pure. Traveling this road in a northeasterly direction, we came to many places of historic interest. Among them the birthplace of Jonah, the bucking preacher who later had to submit and do as he was told. W'e stopped at Cana of Galilee, where Christ per formed His first miracle by turning water into wine at the wedding feast. This is a very small -dilapi dated-appearing town of huts, many of them inhab ited by goats, some by people. It is the poorest and most dilapidated spot I have seer^in Palestine, Beth any not excepted. The feast at which the miracle was performed must have been the last feast held in the town and, from the looks of things, I would have guessed it to have been the last wedding in the town except for the fact that there are so many children there. They are poorly clad and all are trying to sell some trivial souvenir or card?and it is indeed piti ful to see how badly they need things. You see only a few men in the town, mostly women and children. There are so many goats in the town that it actually mells goaty, the first I have encountered in the coun try. Leaving Cana we come to a place pointed out as the spot where Jesus healed the rich man's son. Sec John 4:46-54. And then the place described as Naph- ' tali, Joshua 19:55. The Mount of Beatitudes is the next place of interest and is the place of the Sermon on the Mount, Matt. 5:17 and Luke 6:20-49?good ready. Very near ia the Horns of Hattin, the scene o( a great battle in July, 1187. We next pass the grounds of the fields of corn, where Jesus showed the diariplew the justification of working on the Sabbath. Our next stop was at Tiberias, on the Sea of Tiber ias or Sea of Galilee or Lake of Galilee. This is the one place that every Christian wants to visit. As you approach it from the mountain sides you look down on a body of water 11 miles long by 6 miles wide | nestled between the hills. It is said to be 700 feet below sea level. It is deep blue in color, except when rippled by the breezes or colored by sun rays, which give it a vile green appearance. Tiberias is now a good clean town, with modern hotels and good resi dences, giving visitors a happy feeling, not only be cause of these things ^>ut to look out and see the wa ters upon which Jesus walked and which he stilled during a tempest . Just across the hills is where He fed the multitude with the 5 barley loaves and 2 fishes. One thinks also of the father and two sons who were in their boat fishing when He called the two boys, James and John, and told them, "Follow me, and 1 will make you fishers of men," and they im mediately laid down their nets; and there are many other reminders of His sayings and works around this favored s|>ot. The boatmen taking out tourists seem to love to sing to the Song of Galiliee the words "Each flow ry glen and mossy dell, "Where happy birds in song agree, "Through sunny morn the praises tell "Of sights and sounds in Galilee." The house of Mary Magdalene is near the north end of the lake Visitors stop there to see the ancient ruins. Only a little farther are to be found the birth places of I'eter, Andrew, and I'hillip, near Bethsaida, where Jesus taught and healed the blind man. At Capernaum is where Matthew, the collector of customs, was called as an apostle, also the place of the health of the paralytic, the blind and the dumb, and the healing of the withered hand. Many other miracles were also performed here. "Our trip took us up the Jordan Valley, where we crossed it half way from the Sea of Galilee to Oarnascus. The Jordan at this |Kiint is almost a hidden stream, lying between high hills in a deep valley. When it is hnally reached it is not more than 25 feet wide and evidently very shallow in this dry season. Here we stop to have our passports examined before we can enter Syria from Palestine As we drive along at about 4 miles |ier hour, Mount Hermon is pointed out at the north west, and we are told to observe the snowtap. So in about 2 hours time we have traveled from 700 feet below sea level to very near the region of |>er[>etual snow on Mount Hermon, 10,000 feet above sea level. The day's drive carried us through some very rich valley country oCconsiderable wealth but never out of sight of the mountains near by. Damascus (Syriad,..September 10, 1935. Our party'arrived irt this city at 6:30 last night, after a long sight seeing journey which I have already very ttiKigerly desinbed. Damascus was formerly the Capital of Syria?re cently chanjfcd to Bagdad and now claims a popula tion of 509j3u0, of which 100,000 are Christians and Jews, the others lreing Mohammedans. The city has been modernized to a great extent since France took it over aflef the World War and cleaned it up. It is now a city with clean streets and good sanitation. 1 am lodged in the Amayad Hotel, a new 5-story struc ture, and my room overlooks a street with a street-car line. Almost under my window and just across the carline is the Abana River, 30 feet wide but very shal low -about 1 foot deep in the nv'ddle, Just beyond the river is a main thorough arc, tilled with the noise ol honking horns, which every driver here seems to love tb blow. The food is all right and abundant, but water is the Objection. Tra elers all seem to be afraid of the water and buy some kind of mineral or spring water. I paid 64 cents for water at the noon meal, and, while 1 said noth'ng, still I felt very much as a California woman did at a Jerusalem hotel Saturday when they' charged her 27 1-2 cents for a small pot of tea. She refused to pay for it and look the mat ter up with the proprietor, telling him it would be all right to Ire shot but she did refuse to be held up and robbed. Damascus is the oldest city in the world. Others, of course, were built earlier, but they have faded away or l>een utterly destroy) d, so this is generally acknowl-. edged to be the oldest existing city in the world. It is also rather rich in Biblical history. Abraham, the father of the faithful, passed through it early in its history, and I'aul came to it with his pockets full of high commissions authorizing him to punish Chris tians. The story is a very familiar one as to how I'aul was stricken blind and, when he called upon the Lord, was told to go to the house of Ananias, who would tell him what to do. We passed through the Street which was then and now?Called Straight. We also went to the house which is now shown as that of Ananias, and from the a|>pearance of some of the old stones about it, they must have been there in Paul's day. We also went to the southern walls of the city and saw the walls of the old city, where Paul was let down on the outside to save his life. Much manufacturing is done here. We visited a factory where fancy hand-made Oriental carpets and rugs are made. The work is done by very .poor women, and we saw many mothers with broods of children at work. The mother contracts to do the work on a piece basis and takes her 10 and 12 year old pale-faced chil dren in to,help her. We saw a rug already sold to a man in Knoxville, Tenn, for $165, and he had an or der in for another which was being made. It takes about six months to make them, but when completed they are beauties. These workers are very patient and seem willing to do things well. We are leaving tomorrow, morning at 7:30 for Bey routh by way of Baalbeck. The journey is of about 125 miles aift*will take practically a full day. W. C. Manning. Winter Hays Crown As Cover Crops Will Provide Good Feed Also Protect Land From Erosion and Leaching During Winter Winter hays, grown as a cover crop, provide a good feed for cattle' during the following spring and summer. Moreover, a good supply of win ter-grown hay will keep dairymen; from running out of roughage when hay crops, says John Arey, exten sion dairyman at State College. It has been found in experiments that when cows are fed liberally on good roughage and one-half a nor mal grain ration, milk production is, only about 10 per cent lower than| when a full grain allowance is fed, Arey pointed out. Since roughage is so much cheap er than grain, he added, the dairy man can save more on his feed costs by feeding roughage than he will lose by the slight deciease in milk production. Another advantage in winter hays is the fact that they can be grown between October and May, at a time when the land is not being used for cotton, tobacco, corn, or other summer crops. A good hay crop will protect the land in winter by checking erosion and leaching, Arey added. Mixtures of oats, barley, wheat, vetch, and winter peas will produce a better hay than either will when grown alone. The seeding date in ' North Cdjsolina is from October 1 ! to 20. Arey recommended the following s??od mitures for one acre; two bush els of Norton oats, one bushel of beardless barley, onelhalf bushel of purple straw or red-heart wheat, and 20 pounds of Austrian winter peas or 15 pounds of hairy vetch. These varieties will mature at a bout the same time and give a yield oi two to three tons of hay per acre when planted on good soil. The best quality hay^ will be se cured if it is cut while the cereals arc in the milk stage. Demonstrations of Pig Feeding in Halifax Indicative of the renewed inter est in hog raising on the part of North Carolina farmers is the fact lhat two feeding demonstrations with 12e pigs have been started in Hali lax County.
