The CoverHE PICTURE offered on the cover of The Galilean this week is a view of the Sea of Galilee from the Fountain of the Fig- Tree, near Khan-Minyeh, the supposed site of the vanished

city of Capernaum. This means that the ob­server is looking southeastward. To the left of the scene, traces of an old Roman aqueduct are visible, atop which now runs a road for tourists. This aqueduct probably carried the drinking water from Bethsaida to the Plains of Gennesaret. Papyrus is growing in the wet swamp in the foreground, the plant that sup­plied paper for the peoples of the time of the Elder Brother. This northern end of Galilee was one of two places in all Palestine where the reed could be found. Across Galilee to the southeastward can be seen the Hills of Gilead and the Hauran Mountains, behind which be­gins the great desert of Arabia. Capernaum in the days of Our Lord was a busy Galilean town and there He first went when He took up His ministry. Here Christ is supposed to have found the disciple Matthew working in a cus­toms house. Bethsaida was reputed to have been the home town of Philip, Andrew and Peter. ^ We should bear in mind that the Sea of Galilee is only thirteen miles long from north to south and only eight miles in width from east to west. It really is not a sea but a lake, and in Biblical times was so designated— Lake Gennesaret.The picture is from an artist’s sketch of the spot.
