THE TOMB OF CHRIST.
IT HAS BEEN A BATTLEFIELD FOR
CENTURIE9.
Jealous MonlB Continue to Riot Over
Resting Place of Prince ( If Peace
-Arrangements Made with
the Sultan.
L0I1I10n.-In the ono place In all 010
world where nolso of strlfo should be
Corover hushed , and only sounds of
worship bo heard , men met in- bloody
battle recently. Crucifixes nnd cens.
ers were the weapons , Frnnclsclan
and Armenian monks were the com.
batants , and the scene of the strug.
gle was the tomb of Christ.
For a brief tlmo the battlefield of
the crusades echoed again to 010
sound of clashing arms. the groans
of the wounded , the 'cheers of the
victors. But thIs WIlS not a battle of
believer against unbellover. heathen
versus Christian. 'l'he contestants
were monks s\\'orn to teach the doc.
trInes of the PrInce of Peace.
The bono of contention Is n desIre
to control the ! mlnted sepulcher. It
was this ambition that brought the
Crusadera from all Europe
swarmIng ,
. . . .
and now a form .of the &ame desire
, has the monls : of the Franciscan or.
del' anll the Armenian branch forever
at each other's throats.
They quarrel over the right to
sweep off the steps , and the GreekB.
. though they had little part In brIngIng -
Ing the tomb of ChrIst under ChrlB'
tlnn control , have profited so skill.
fully by the quarrels of l < rance wIth
Turley. ; : that they have Ingratiated
themselves WIOl the Pasha till he Is
regv.rded as'thelr silent ally.
In thIs last battle ono sacristan had
his skull smashed In with n heavy
.
censer. and a number of tho' combatants -
, batants went to hospItals for treat-
ment. So frequent have the quarrels
been in Ole last decade that often
Turldsh soldIers have been forced to
Interven . .
li're1l ( } , Greek and Italian consuls
have at times been dragged Into the
controversIes that resulted from
these outbreaks. Apparently no permanent -
manent peace Is ever to como to the
tomb of Him who as his cardinal doctrIne -
trIne taught the law of peace.
For the events that made the tomb
of Christ a permanent battleground
the devout Helena and Emperor
Constantine are 1ndlrectly responsible.
though the motives that led them to
Jerusalem were the holiest.
I First Helena emb.raced ChrIstianity ,
, . and then converted her Bon. Emperor
Constantine. Once in the faith he
ml1de it his resolve that .Jerusalem.
city of the holiest deed In the world's
' < I hlsto'rf' sh9uld. not be neglected.
With -roverent care Constantine and
Helena sought out 'all the spots that
were Identified with the Holy Passion
