Verso: Printed: " You have come down a flight of stone steps into the little Chapel that has been built about the old well, in the valley between Mt. Ebal and Mt. Gerizim. [new paragraph] Here is a woman of Samaria, just drawing water! Indeed she is a real Sarmaritan woman from the very village of Iscar (Sychar of the Bible) that the woman came from whom Christ met-- the town where He was invited to stay and where he did stay two days (John IV, 40). You observe that she has brought her own rope, and her water-jar rests on the well-curb. I wonder whether the woman who came from Sychar to this well 1800 years ago was dressed in a striped gown and wore earrings and beads. The well has been cleaned out to a depth of seventy-five feet the debris might be dug out fifty feet further to make it as it was in ancient days. Look at that stone curb, what seams and corrugations centuries of water-drawing have worn! [new paragraph] You see this is a Greek Chapel, from the lamps and pictures under the roof. That curious arrangement at the left is for the purpose of lowering down into the well a coil of lighted magnesium wire, enabling the visitor to see the walls of the well and its water far below. Every traveller now receives a cup of water, cool and refreshing, from the depths. [new paragraph] There are forty streams flowing down the sides of Gerizim and Ebal, with more water close at hand than any other region in Palestine possesses. Why should anybody hew out a well through solid rock, 125 feet deep? Evidently there lived here a man who needed an abundant supply of water and who found the springs and streams already possessed by rivals. (Gen. XXXIII, 18-20.) [new paragragh] (See 'Travelling in the Holy Land by the Stereoscope,' with special keyed maps, locating each standpoint taken and identifying the landmarks.) [new paragraph] From Notes of Travel, No. 7, copyright 1904, by Underwood & Underwood." The title, "A Samaritan Woman at Jacob's Well Palestine," is printed in six l |
