161. Garden of Gethsemane and Mount of Olives, Palestine
Garden of Gethsemane and Mount of Olives, Palestine
Description
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Just opposite the Golden Gate across the Valley of Jehoshapat is the Garden of Gethsemane. Two places are claimed as the site of Gethsemane: one by the Latins, and one by the Greeks. It is genuine satisfaction to look upon the Mount of Olives, after trying to locate so many places of uncertain traditions. Of its authenticity there can be no doubt. No other part of Palestine is hallowed by so many memories of Jesus as this hill. He sought its olive groves for retirement and prayer, and there uttered words now familiar to millions of our race; it was from Olivet that he gazed tenderly upon Jerusalem and wept over it (Luke 19:41) and on a portion of this hill "over against Bethany" he gave to his disciples the benediction and parted from them."
162. Seine River, Paris, France
Seine River, Paris, France
Description
The Seine River is the highway of travel from the Mediterranean countries through the valley of the Saone-Rhone system. There are always boats floating down from the upper parts of the Seine, and if we should travel up the Marne, which joins the Seine, just outside of Paris, we might find a canal by which we could go clear to the Rhine, where other boats would take us out through Belgium and Holland to the North Sea. The river is crossed by thirty-two bridges of various ages and design, each ornamented with trophies commemorating French victories. The oldest is Point Neuf commenced in 1578 under Henry III; the last and most beautiful is Point Alexander III, 350 feet long, 132 feet wide, but consisting of a single iron arch. Broad avenues lead from each to beautiful boulevards for which Paris is famous.
