Photograph is in a book with a description beneath ; printed description: "(Malachi, iv: 2-3.)--'But unto you that fear
my name, shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the
stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do
this, saith the Lord of hosts.' This prophecy of Malachi was uttered in the year 397 B.C. Since that time the Sun of righteousness
has arisen with healing in His wings, and to-day the greatest portion of the globe has felt the influence of His light and
warmth. We give as a picture illustrating this fact a view of the residence of Dr. Schliemann in Athens. Under the facilities
furnished by Christian civilization, that distinguished man was able to bring to light many of the works of art which belonged
to the distant past. It is a strange fact that even the works of art belonging to heathen nations would have been destroyed
before this but for the influence and work of Christian nations."
