fall mosaic. The dome is unsurpassed III
symmetry and beauty, and covers the ell
Sakera which is supposed to have been the
Holy of Holes, where the Shekinah was
manifested, and the Ark of the Covenant
rested.
The Moslem tradition respecting the ell
Sakera Tor Holy Stone) is, that it fell from
heaven, when the spirit of prophecy com
menced, and that the ancients prophesied
from it, and that upon this rock sat the An
gel of Death, who, upon David's rash and
inconsiderate numbering Of the people,
slaughtered till God commanded him to
put his sword again into the sheath thereof"
At the time Of the hegira Of the Prophet
from Jerusalem, the stone wished to accom-
pany him, whereupon the Angel Gabriel
prevented it by forcibly holding 1t (the
marks of his fingers are still shown) until
the arrival of Nohammed, who by his prayers
fixed it forever to the spot. Upon this
rock you are also shown the print of the
Prophets foot.
The Mosque is said to contain the scales
for the weighing the souls of men, the shield
of Mohammed, the birds of Solomon, the
lpomegranates of David, and the saddle of
ell Borak, as well as an original copy Of the
Koran, the parchment leaves of which are
four feet long.
A well of living water is also found, from
which believers are said to drink. A green
slab of marble is shown, which has the
marks of eighteen nails of silver, three Of
which still remain, the others having disap-
lpeared at different times, to mark the COM
Ipletion of certain great epochs. Those re-
lmaining are to follow, and when the last
takes its flight the fulness of time will be
completed, and the end of the world vii
Ihaye come. There are not wanting spec

st. Pancras,

Have you ever wondered who St. Pancras
was? dare say you think him some aged
man, with grey hair and flowing beard, OF
a hooded monk with sable garments. But he
did not live long enough in the world for
that. Shall l tell you all about him?
He born in beautiful Phrygia; his ear
ly home, at Synnada, was very fair--moun-
tains and flowing streams, and marble quar-
ries; and with a cheerful heart the little
Pancratius (as he was called used to play
under the shady trees, chase the gaudy flies
over the hills, or quietly stand at his dear
mothers knee, while she told Of flowers, and
birds, and honey bees, and all the bright
things he loved so well.
But that dear mother was taken i'll, and
died. without the sweet hope of heaven which
Christians have when they are taken to ) G.
sus. And her husband, Cleonius, buried
her by the gurglng brook, beneath the
waving palm trees.
For three short months Cleonius daily led
his little boy to strew flowers over her
