| Notes: |
Photograph is in a book with a description beneath ; printed description: "(I. Kings, xviii:42.)--'So Ahab went up to eat
and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his
knees.' Carmel is first mentioned in Joshua, xix: 26. Its name signifies 'a fertile field.' Ahab, the king of Israel who had
married Jezebel, a Sidonian princess, introduced the Phoenician worship upon Carmel and built an altar to Baal there. It was
here that through Elijah the relationship of the Israelite worship and that of the Phoenicians was brought into marked contrast
and Carmel was brought into prominence by being the scene of it. Mountains were regarded as sacred places, as we learn that
Tabor was in the times of Deborah, and when Samuel lived he sought the heights of Mizpah as a place of worship, and we are
told in Micah, vii: 14, that Jehovah himself dwelt upon Mount Carmel." "Franklin Co Eng-Chi" is printed at the bottom right
of the photograph. See 5169BAI/LVi87CAJS (Voyager # 358400)
