Constantine.
old bolt Of the door abraded the south
pillar is plainly visible. From this
gateway the wall extends south to a
point within the Russian hospice,
where it turns eastward, and the
other old gateway, SO carefully con-
served, is in this part of the wall, and
so is at right angles to the recently
discovered gateway. The pilot sock
cts in the stone sill. made for the
door to swing in, show that it opened
southwark into the same area. With
in this gateway still exists, in stu,
fragments of the old pavement of Con-
stantine.
Some eight years ago in digging in
the narrow passage way IN the north
side of the Russian hospice, an old
inscription was found, in Cutie char
a%cters. which had been cut into the
stone of Constantine's wall on its out
side face. and a little to the south of
the gateway just discovered. It
reads as follows:
"In the name of God the most merci-
full, the most gracious. The high COM
mand has gone forth from his ma.
jesty's victorious presence for pro-
tecting and repairing this place of wor-
ship, and that no non-Moslem should
enter it, and that no one should trans
gress this decree, but rather should
comply with it."
What spot this may refer to is not
certain. It could not point to the
Church of the Holy sepulcher, which
has never been used as g: Mohammed-
an shrine. On the contrary, it is re-
lated of Omar, after he had taken Je-
rusalem, that he was conducted into
the Church of the Holy Sepulcher by
the Christian patriarch Sophronios,
and a place prepared for him in which
to offer prayer. But he passed out of
the church and prayed just outside
the entrance, remarking, In reply to
the patriarch's question, that should
he pray in the church his followers
would deem it necessary to take pos.
session Of it as a mosque. Omar's
praying there is a much valued item
Of Moslem history. and is said to have
been the reason for the mosque which
stands to the southwest of the Church
Of the Holy Sepulcher being called
after him, Omareyeh. This was on
the assumption that it was outside the
south entrance to the church that he
prayed. The above inscription, how
ever, proves that it was outside Of
this newly discovered entrance from
the east.
The photograph from which the &C
companying picture was made was
taken looking eastward and from &
point Immediately above the newly un
earthed pillars Of the time of Con
stantine show in the other photograph
It indicates the relation of the ole
portal to the Church of the Holy Sep
ulcher and how it opened straighI
upon the shrines Of Constantine. The

When their hands fall away from

Whose lives seemed part OF our

And their eyes give NO glances "a.

Their voices no answering tone:
Though their lives may have been

Yet we wash with our tears their

And they go to their graves In

And what II the year that is DYING

Less OF Its times OF darkness +

1t hath been a part Of our being.
Let II go to its grave in white.

KINDERGARTENS.

A lady of this city who Is much Inter
sstsd In kindergarten work, In reply to
o letter she wrote u one of the school
officials in Richmond concerning ouch
work 10 this city, has received the fol-
lowing:
OFFICE RICHMOND PUBLIC SCHOOLS,
Richmond, Va, May 10, 1908,
Ny Dear Mrs. -: In reply to your
communication received today | will say that
we have six kindergarten schools They are
q part of our school system and are regularly
reported as such. The cost Of kindergarten
and manual training schools is paid from
funds appropriated by the city of Richmond
for this purpo'e Teachers salaries are not
paid from State funds. Four Of the schools
are located in the school buildings. We find
this much preferable to outside rooms. Two
are in outside buildings, which are rented
because there is no room In the regular
schools. We have no special tar levied for
schools. The city council makes an appro-
priation each year to cover the expense OF
sane. fthere is further information which
can give you upon this subject l shall be
glad TO do so, Very respectfully,
c, P. WALF0RD,
Clerk and Supervisor.
