| Notes: |
Photograph is in a book with a description beneath ; printed description: "(Ezekiel, xxii: 15, 16.)--'And I will scatter thee
among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee. And thou shalt take thine
inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.' This prophecy has been literally
fulfilled. The Jews have been scattered throughout the Gentile nations of the world, and they have learned as no other nation
has the great truth that there is one God. It is said to be very difficult to find a Jew who is not a believer in God. We
give a picture here of the Customs Pier in Smyrna because this is one of the great Jewish cities in Asia Minor. Many of the
leading commercial establishments in this city belong to Jews. Here they live and hold their inheritance in sight of the heathen
Turks by whom they are surrounded. In Smyrna the Jews have lived from remote times to the present. There are many great commercial
houses managed by them in this city to-day."
Waterfront on Smyrna; on the pier there are filled sacks and several wagons; in the harbor there are a number of ships
