An Aeroplane Over Jerusalem

On a post card from Jerusalem, Brother Ludwig Krug writes: "A French airman the other afternoon landed in the road to Bethlehem, just outside of Jerusalem. It is the first time that Jerusalem has seen an aeroplane. Thousands of people crowded to the landing place to see the flying machine, and the usually quiet city was in a fever of excitement. Next day the flier took his departure, flying in the direction of Bethlehem on the way to Cairo."
Newspaper readers will already have heard of this incident. It certainly affords a contrast of the new and the old, this modern flying machine in the roadways of old Jerusalem.
In a letter to this Office, Brother J. J. Wessels, manager of the St. Helena Sanitarium, says: "We have just decided to erect a new building between the hospital and the main building, which we hope to have completed early in the present year."
