: nat the Royal Tombs were closed TO this

ident hope Of all those who have studied
.he question that ere long We shall have
the sensational story OF the discovery
both Of Dayids tomb and also OF Solo

ITO some this may seem an idle dream;
I do not think SO. The Jewish historian
tells that these tombs were carefully hid

examined with the care and skill already
shown by DIR. Bliss do not see anything
to prevent him from finding these tombs.
Eusebius and Jerome place the tomb Of
David at Bethlehem: the Romans Lady
Paula expected Ia find the mausoi@um of
David at Bethlehem; so we canAot ex-
pect any help from the carly Christian
fathers.

There was an old Arab woman from ST.
loan village who asserted that the whole
ground belonged TO her. Every pay day she
acted scene at the mouth OF every shaft,
threatening to throw herself down, and
always appeased BY a small dole of silver.
Then the Jews refused permission to tun-
mel under their graveyards. though they
were assured the tunnel would be far be-
low any grave.
These, and endless difficulties, were
cleared away by the tact and patience of DR..
Bliss. Perhaps 1t may De asked what sort
o. soil do these shafts and tunnels go
through? Debris. Shattered battered
stone. mortar. rubbish. Standing at the
edge of one shaft | had my eyes arrested

shaft. OF course often large stones were
found. and some OF the Fellahin owners Of
the ground raised those stones and sold
them 10 the builders of modern houses So
ancient Jerusalem is being dug I'D to re-
build the modern city.
How savage, how ruthless. must have
