Visit To Garden Of Gethsemane Highlights Holy City Tour

Dr. Sumner L. Martin and Party See Site Of Solomon's Temple, King David's Tomb

MY DEAR HOOSIER FRIENDS: The visit to the site of Solomon's Temple, now the place of the|

Jerusalem—Trans-Jordan

April, 1951

Mosque of Omar was a high point in our visit to the part of Jeru-|

salem under Arab control.

We had a Maslem guide and he instructed us what to do. We|

had to remove our shoes but the floors were covered

with lovely |

rugs. The Temple was thronged -

i by worshipers of all ages and masons, and carpenters to do the |

many came from a great distance.

The building was large and stately. The art glass windows and mosaic work were beyond description. 3 The magnifi cent dome qf the * Rock, commonly known as the Mosque of Omar, g built upon the rock, supposedly {s the one upon Dr. Martin which Abraham offered to sacrifice his son, Isaac. Islam claims that Mohammed ascended into Heaven from this very rock. Solomon’s Temple stood where the Mosque now stands The Temple was the symbol of the Jewish Kingdom and a portion of the wall still remains, known as the wailing wall and many hundreds of pilgrims come annually to mourn the destruction of the Temple of Israel.

SOLOMON began to build the Temple in 966 B. C. and the construction took seven and a half vears. Nebuchadnezzar burned it in 588 B. C. It was rebuilt 50 years later. It was Herod the Great who had ambitious plans to restore the splendor of the ancient Temple which he began in 20 B. C. and he took 1000 priests

WE THEN followed as best we could, directed by our guide, the| footsteps of Christ, until he was condemned to be crucified by Pilate andl thence to Calvary and the tomb. The Gospel story will always mean more to me, because of this visit to Jerusalem. Every day is a great day here in; Jerusalem, the household word of the entire world. The high point of one day was the mammoth reception given our party by the mayor of Jerusalem, I. Shragai, and nearly all of the important officials of the city and the State of Israel.

We crossed the Valley of Hinon to King David's tomb, also the location of the Upper Room on| Mt. Zion. This, at present, is a military post and only by special permission were we permitted to enter the Upper Room. It was a
