A Precious Relic.
SACRED WINDING SHEET.
Until 111 Whuh Was Wrand Dur Savior's
HuJy.
Mucti inlirest has lately been excited
by the permission given u photographer
to reproduce for the first time the sacred
winding sheit, iu which thu body ul
Christ was wrapped when taken down
from the cross, and prepared for burial in
the Holy Sepulchre.
This precious relio has for many years
been preserved in the Cathedral of Turin
ami at intervals exposed to general vener
ation. The last occasion of Its exhibi
tion to the geueral public was at tho great
exposilion held ill Turin from May 'JjM
to Juuc2d, and it was then the ecclesias
tical authorities were prevailed on to
allow photographs to be taken ol the
sacred sheet.
The lirst copy, printed on fine linen,
brought to this country, is to be presented
to His Kiuinence, Cardinal Gibbons, by
.Mr. liiovatini Schiafllno, of this city,
brother of (he Italian Con-ul, lately
knighled liy the King of Italy. Mr
Scliiiillino has lately returned from Italy,
here, he personally inspected tho origi
ill. The winding cloths kept iu the Ca
thedrals of Compicgne and licuncon, iu
'Vance, do not impair the genuineness of
this, as the Gospel itself is authority I'm
the statcuicut that when the Apostles
entered the sepulchre, they found ''linen
cloths lying ou tho floor." The sacred
iheet was brought from the Kist hy
Godfrey, of Bouillon, the famous leader
of the Crusaders, who (ouud it in Jerusa
lem, and caused it tu be carried to
hamhery, the capital of Savoy. His
laughter, the Countess Marguerite De
Miarney, fell heir to it, and by her it was
iven to the royal house of Savoy, hold
ing court at Turin. Its translation from
C'nauibcry to Turin took place March
ilid, 1 I5;i.
Hy the bauds of pious wouien of rank
in those ages of faith, the sacred relic
as hecu surrounded by rich silken tin
imidery, representing scenes in the
pas-ton uml death ot Christ. At
ttie fool of the embroidery is the
iat ol' arms of the city of Turin. It ts
kept with the utmost care in an urn, or
ease of black marble, inlaid with gold,
and is secured hy two keys, one of them
in the possession of the Archbishop of
Tuiin, tin' other kept by the king of
Italy, and both are prccnt when the
ease is opened to expose the sheet to
public gaze. It is estimated at the Ex
position that over a million people fruiu
various (piattcrs of the world saw and
venerated the holy relic.
fhe oiiginal sheet is nine feet long
and three wide, of fiuu liucu, und bears a
representation iu bloody marks of the
body of Christ, outlined on its surface. A
close investigation shows faint trucings of
the features. The picture was taken in
the Cathedral by means ol electricity,
and its successful reproduction has
itroused general interest.

.cure toii. Vet some
day our quarry work will lie manifested
in the glory ol brawn We are prepar
ing materials now and In ie for (he letup e
of the :reat Kim:, which iu heaven is
slowly rising through ihe u-.. No Uohe
of hammer or ax h heard in all I bat won
drous building, because the stones are !
all shaped and polhln d and made entirely :
ready for this world. We arc th ftoiies 1
and the world is (tod's ijuarry. The
Mtoues for the temple Were cut out of I lie t
great rock in the dark underground
cavern. They Were rough aud shapeless. !
Then they were dressed into form, and j
this required a great deal of cutting, J
hammering, aud hiseling. Without this
hteru, sore work on the stone.-, not one ol
(hem could ever have filled a p!ac:t in
the temple At last, when they
were ready, they were lifted out
of the diik ipnirry aud curried up!
to tho mountain top where the temple
was rising, and were laid in their place.
We arc atuueK in the quarry us yet. When ;
we uccepttd Christ we were cut from the
great mass of lock. Hut we were yet
rough and umdiapcly, not fit lur heaven.
Before we can be ready for our place iu
the heavenly temple wc must be hewn
and shaped. The hammer must do its
work, breaking off the roughness. The
chisel must be used, carving and polish
ing our lives into beauty. This work is
done in the many processes of life. Kveiy
wiuful thing, every fault iu our character)
is u rough place in the stone, which must
bo chiseled off. All the crooked linen
must be straightened. Our liveHDiustbe
cut aud hewn until they conform to the
perfect standard of divine (ruth.
Qutirry work is not always pleasant. If
stones had hearis and sensibilities they
would sometimes cry out in sore pain as
they feel the hammer strokes and the deep
cutting of the chisel. Vet the workmen
must not heed their cries and withdraw
his hand or else (hey would ut last be
thrown aside as worthless blocks, never
to be built into the place of honor. We
are not stones; we have hearts and sensi-
bilit'ies, and we do cry out ofttitnes ns
the hammer smites away the roughness
of our character. Hut wc must yield to
the sore work and let it go on, or we
shall never have our place as living stones
in Christ's beautiful lemple. Wc must
not wince under the sharp chiseling of
sorrow. J. It. .Miller.
