Image Title: Jerusalem a City of Domes
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "In the heart of the Judean plateau, fifteen miles from the Dead Sea on the west and twice as far from the Mediterranean, stands Jerusalem. It is built upon the two hills, Mt. Zion and Mt. Moriah. It was on Mt. Moriah that Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice.
When David conquered the city he took it for his capital. He placed the tabernacle on Mt. Zion and though Solomen after-wards built the temple on Mt. Moriah the name of Zion was so incorporated into the Jewish language by means of the Psalms of David and of religious traditions that the name passed over to the temple mount. Solomen's palace was built on Mt. Zion and the palace was united with the temple by a wide bridge."

Image Title: Jerusalem from the New Calvary
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "On the norther side the New Calvary hill is an easy ascent either on foot or on horseback, and from its summit we take a view of Jerusalem. Close at hand we see the northern wall of the city, pierced by the Damascus gate, the very gate through which Saul of Tarsus went forth on his persecuting errand, expecting to scatter the church in Damascus, as he had scattered the church in Jerusalem. That modern building on the right is the Latin Convent and hospice for the entertainment of Catholic pilgrims. You note a large dome standing prominently with a smaller dome beside it; that is the Church of the Holy Sepupchre where a mistaken tradition locates all the events connected with the death and resurrection of our Lord. This part of the city is largely Christian in its population and is more modern and thrifty in appearance than some of the other sections."

Image Title: Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Although there may be doubt as to the location of Mount Zion, there is non as to Mount Moriah. It stands north of Ophel, and somewhat higher. THe open square marks the site of Solomon's Temple with the courts that surrounded it. We are looking at Mount Moriah from the Mount of Olives, across the Valley of the brook Kedron. Directly before us is the southeastern corner of the modern wall, which here follows the course of the ancient wall. We there stood the altar of the temple now rises the Dome of the Rock, generally by wrongly called "The Mosque of Omar". To the left of this Dome and over the southen wall we see another dome, which is the Mosque el Aksa, and beyond is the Mohammedan quarter of the city. Upon yonder open space, in the days of old, walked David and Solomon, Isaiah and Jeremiah, Christ and the twelve apostles."

Image Title: Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "This view taken from the bell tower of the German Church of the Redeemer, looks due east toward the Mount of Olives. While the Biblical expression is "Go up to Jerusalem," and Jerusalem is on a high elevation, it is not the highest in the vicinity. The mount of Olives overlooks Jerusalem being 250 feet higher than the Temple area, or 126 feet above Mount Zion."

Image Title: View of Jerusalem from Mount of Olives
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "This picture is taken from the vest side of the Mount of Olives near a ruin that tradition points out as the place where "when He was come near, He beheld the city, and wept over it. "(Luke19:421) From here one has his finest view of Jerusalem and cannot wonder that from this eminence the disciples looked upon the city with admiration.
Viewed from the Mount of Olives, the city presents an imposing appearance. the wall of the city is thirty-eight feet high, has seven gates and thirty four towers, and is two and one-fifths miles around. The walls ascending sharply from the valley give to the town an appearance of great strength. The town within the walls covers 209 acres, but the city extends outward in several directions, especially to the west and north.
Below this viewpoint, to the left, is the Russian church in their Garden of Gethsemane. Immediately below that and to the right where are seen several tall cypress trees is the Latin Garden of Gethsemane. The road at the extreme right of the picture is the one leading down from the St.Stephens gate where the Nebi Musa Pilgrimage is see. At almost the central point of the picture may be seen the two arches of the golden Gate in the eastern wall of Jerusalem. the open space beyond the wall is the temple area where Solomon;s temple stood. The Platform, raised sixteen feet above the surrounding area, in the center of which is the octagonal Mosque of Omar with its large dome, is clearly noticeable. The high, modern-looking tower seen beyond and a little to the right of the Mosque of Omar belongs to the German Church of the Redeemer, finished in 1898."
