The custody Of the holy tabernacle
In Jerusalem was one of the ostensible
causes Of the Crimean war. and as to
its authenticity there has been conflict
among students for centuries. The
tomb, which was for hundreds of years
buried under q mass Of earth. was ex-
humed by the Emperor Constantine.
who, IL Eusebius Is to be believed,
knew of its location by means Of rec
0rds handed down from the time of
Hadrian. In wESse reign the tomb was
covered over. Constantine brought to
light the reck sepulcher. which by his
orders was trimmed on and incased In
a sort of shrine Of ornamental mason
.ry. Around this he built a circular
cloister and erected graceful tower
at the eastern side. This building was
standing three centuries after. when It
was destroyed by Chosroes. king of
Persia, but soon built up again by the
monk Modestes. 1t was seen at the
end Of the seventh century by Bishop
Arculf, a French pilgrim. who left q
careful description Of It Almost in

this, which finally resulted In the
Church Of the Holy Sepulcher that ex-
lists today.-Exchange.
