A VALUABLE RELIC.
Thought TO Be a Drawing by RO-
man Soldier of the Cruz
cifxion.

Continuing my examination" said
Sig. Marucchi, II came some time since
upon little drawing, 15XS inches. 1t
diers' quarters in the house of Tiber-
ius," says Ainslee's Magazine.
THE lines in it were almost complete
ly obliterated. Nevertheless, by the aid
of powerful glasses, | thought | dis
cerned pictorial reproduction of some
striking event. There seemed to be
two crosses with ladders leaning
against them. On one of these a sol
der was mounting, carrying something
like a tablet. Above the transverse bar
of this same cross was another soldier
with a hammer. Beneath was a figure
dragging another toward the cross.
Yet another figure was raising ladder
to the second cross, and on third lad
der a soldier was mounting. Two ropes
hang from the cross beams which unite
the crosses. Names are written near
the figures. One is Pilatus or Piletus
(written Piletus). High above the
drawing is word resembling Crestus,
and near it is a hammer, which, as is
known, was the emblem of the cruel
fxion.
"All the circumstances brought me to
imagine for a moment that l might be
in the presence of picture of the cruel
fxion of our Savior, and possibly even
drawn by soldiers who had assisted
at the event. Many others were of the
same opinion, though there were COM
petent authorities who read in it
different Specification. They suggest
ed, for instance, the launching of a
ship, or the representation of an aero
batic performance. One thing is now
clear, the large inscription over the
drawing can be no part of the idea
therein represented. 1t is the work of
many hands, written at various periods,
and composed almost exclusively of
libertine expressions"
The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1899-07-14
WANTS A NEW RELIGION.
of Japan at Present
Much Drawn to Everything
English.

1t has been stated on pretty good au-
thority that the leading statesmen of
Japan are thinking of making Chris
tianity the established religion of the
country, says the Evangelist. When the
government of Japan was changed and
the mikado assumed his kingly author
ity one of the first steps taken was the
endowment and establishment of the
Shinto religion. And Shintoism is so
broad and comprehensive belief that
it has frequently allowed Christian
services to be held in it's temples.
To the American Episcopal church
belongs the honor of being the first
Protestant body to commence Chris
tan work in Japan, for Bishop Will
iams established himself at Tokyo as
early as 1859 and translated portions
of the prayer book and Bible into the
