COnstoutine,S BaSil'ca

Constantine erected a splendid basihca
or the supposed sizes Of the Holy Sepul-
chre and OF Calvary. 1t Is generally
ae1eed that the sites in question were the
same which have ever since been shown
but the question remains whether they
were correctly, or even honestly, deter
mined. No one who is acquainted with
the Byzantine history of this age is
likely to doubt that credulity. fanaticism,
and fraud are its distinguishing charac-
teristiCs. We have the testimony OF
Gregory, Jerome. and ChryspStom, who
were all alike disgusted by the intrigues,
the veInlity, and the INSCRIPTIONS men
dacity of the Greek Bishops. whom they
denounce.
Constantine himself was a politician,
rather than devOut believer; his cruelty
is well known; also his Indifference TO
disputes OH religious matters which were
regarded by the bishops as Of fundamen-
tai importance. The chronicler states
that a Temple of Venus was destroyed
by Constantine's orders, Vita Constant.
ill., 2J-S) and that the Holy Tomb was
most Unexpectedly found by the Patri-
arch underneath the mound; but Eusebius
does not tell US by what means it was
recognized, ana the discovery of the
cross is not noticed until twenty years
later. 1t is not very probable that the
subject was examined by the Patriarch
with the critical GOODNESS Of a modern
anti1uary, and It is conceivable that the
site sacred to the pagans was reconse-
CIdtcO, JUST as PAGAN Sltt' "tit itOpii9'-
Grated to Christian worship by the mis-
siOnaricS of Gregory the Great.
IT Is at least certain, from what
Jerome tells us. that the cave manEeT at
Bethlehem was found by Helena to be
a chapel in which the mysteries of Adonis
were celebrated, before il was reConSe-
Grated as the site of the Nativity, over
which Constantine erected the earliest
known orthodox church. There IS no
pretense on the part Of contemporary
writer's that any ancient Christian trqdi-
ton pointed out the lost site Of the Holy
Sepulchre. over which, as they tell us.
a mound had been heapod up, supporting
pagan temple. II is more probable that
they relied on visions and miracles such
as the later Chroniclers record to have
guided the piOus Helena in the discovery
of the sacred sites.-Major Gender in The

''Oh, Johnr' she cried, when she saw
the threatening rocks toward which
we were rapidly drifting, this is ter

''Cheer up, lass. we must hope for the

The wreckers on shore were getting
impatient, and number of them had

SO we thought it wise to wait until
they came well within range. when, at

1t was splendid shot. The foremost
boat waved visibly and skipped a heavy
wave. One of the oarsmen dropped his
oar as though the handle of it was a
live coal.
Nevertheless, they quickly recovered
and came on again. whereupon the cap

weapons at their disposal. As far as
we could see, however, little damage
