Romantic History of the True Cross

The crescent began It's rise while the
cross was in the hands of it's enemies.
Then Heraclius. emperor Of Rome, de
clared war upon Chosroes and after many
years Of varying success finally cut the
Persian army to pieces at Nineveh in 627.
The true cross was recovered and brought
to Constantinople in triumph.
Cross Restored To Jerusalem.
Heraclius in person restored it to Jeru-
salem. He would fain have carried it on
his shoulders with the utmost pomp into
the city. But, as the story runs, he was
stepped suddenly at the entrance by som .
invisible power and found that he could
not go forward. The patriarch Zachary,
who walked at his side, suggested to him
that this pomp seemed not in consonance
with the humble appearance which Christ
made when He bore the cross through the
streets of Jerusalem. The emperor ac-
cepted the reproof. He laid aside his
royal purple, put on mean garments and,
barefooted, entered the city and placed the
cross in its former abiding place. The
day of its return is celebrated as the feast
Of the exaltation of the cross and remains
to this day in the Roman and English
church calendars as Holy Cross day.
But Jerusalem was not long destined to
remain in reposa. For many years it was
to be thu scene of iercest battles and in
dee the streets of no other city have been
washed with so much blood. The crescent
was in the ascendant, and in the year 637
Jerusalem again bowed her head to a con-

tary history. The plain Of Uallin became
a very hell, where. as an old chroniclcr
says, THE sons Of heaven and the children
Of fire fought their great battle"

the capture uf the holy cross, for he sur

and the last king of Jerusalem. took the
cross to the plain of Galilce to rally thn
dropping spirits Of his soldiery. and lost it
with his kingdom.
The True Grass Lost TurrNer.
On July 1, 1887, a council of knights was
called in the camp of Sophouri. where the
Christian army was gathered for the last
struggle with Saladin. Discussions, jCal-
,usics. enmities, all the ordinary cons2-
Cu,n,es Of greed. ambition, ayariCe ami
pride had weakened the kingdom. There
were jealousiCs and dissensions even in
that last camp, and the council of the
knights was fierce and angry.
The holy cross was raised in the cen cr
of the camp. The army of the cross and
the army of the crescent were encamp'd
within a few miles of each other. Their
leaders presented a remarkable contrast in
character, which doubtless influenced the
result of the battle. But the religion Of the
cross could not be held responsible for
the shame of the one who was a worth
less king and a prejudiced knight, nor was
the crescent to be entirely credited with
the nobleness of the other. Guy was an
exceptional disgrace to Christianity,
Saladin was an exceptional glory Of Mo
hammCdanism. Yielding to the advice Of
the grand master of the Templars. and
against the council of Raymond, count Of
Tripoli, the wisest and noblest of the
knights assembled at the council, Guy
moved his army out upon the plain of Hal
tin. Saladin advanced from the seashore
to meet him.
Saladin observed how the Christians
