Above is the public domain engraving from Frederic William Farrar's richly illustrated 1874 book The Life of Christ, reprinted more than 30 times. Canon of Westminster when his book was published, Farrar became dean of Canterbury in 1895, the year after our current building was erected on E 6oth St.
Below is the engraving of Raising of Jairus' Daughter from the same book.
