RUSSIANS OPINION OF TIE WAR
A ConstantinopIe letter gives as from !
Russian Prisoner, the following opinion of
the origin Of the present war: "Ths Turks
massacred the Russian Bishop and several
Russian priests at Jerusalem. God IN bis
wrath. sent squadron Of angels to carry
Iway the tomb Of Christ, which remains a
his moment suspended ID the heavens, and
le commissioned the Car to ssengs the pa
gan sacrilege. When the Emperor Eisho.
as shall enter Jerusalem conquefef, IS 81
he aid Of heaven be certainly will do,
Jhrist's tomb will be restored 20 its place.
The phRlanx Of angels will line the road
long which the conquering Russian army
5ill pass, and viii present arms TO them.--
hen the Czar viii be master Of the 1hols
gorld, which viii rsnounce is errors, and
,ecome converted 20 the orthodox faith"
his story is iDplici.ly believed By the Rus-
ian serfs.
