« : DISCOVERY OF THE GATE WHICH LED TO GOLGOTHA. St. Pbtkrsbubg, October 19. The Palestine Orthodox Society has for some time past been making excavations in the ground belonging to Russia m Jerusalem. The, work has proved most successful, and has resulted in the discovery of the remains of the ancient town wall of Jerusalem, and the position of the gates leading out of the town during the lifetime of our Saviour. As these gates are nearest to Golgotha, it is concluded that it was through them, our Saviour passed to the place of crucifixion. The Palestine Society has decided to take measures for preserving these sacred relics and steps have been taken with this object. Owing, however, to lack of funds an appeal is znade to all true Ohristians to aid in the work. Subscriptions are received at the palace of the Grand Duke Sergius in St. Petersburg. Bis Imperial Highness being .President of the society.
