Notes:

Jerusalem and the Dome of the Rock, as seen from the Mount of Olives.; The photograph is in a book with a typed description. The description: "(John, v:2.)--'Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.' Jerusalem is interesting from all points of view, but somehow the view of the Holy City takes on additional interest when we are looking at it from some point connected with our Savior. Perhaps the most suggestive view of Jerusalem is from the Mount of Olives, because looked over from this sacred height by our Lord so often. Bethesda is a very interesting place from which to contemplate the city of David, because here Christ healed an impotent man of an infirmity that had afflicted him for thirty-eight years. It was this miracle of Christ that provoked the wrath of his countrymen, because it was wrought on the Sabbath."
