Alexander with his sword carved out
the way for the new civilization that
was to help make up the "fullness of
the times" for the Saviour of the world!
and the saving of the world. In God*e
strange providence this ambitions
world ruler is the great colossus of
Oriental history. He stands astride the
gap between the old world of nar
row Orientalism to which the old dis
pensation belongs and the world wide
hopes to which the Christ of the Hew*
Testament bade the world lift up ftg
eyes.

TOMB B_| EGYPT
Constantinople, Turkey.In the Im
perial Ottoman museum, at Constan
tinople, the Turks take great pride in
(what they have believed to be the sar
cophagus of Alexander the Great, ob
jtalned near Sidon, says the Sunday
School Times. It is exquisitely sculp
tured. One of the panels bears what
has been thought by some to be the
great warrior's favorite dogs. This
evidence, though interesting and sug
gestive, together with a tradition of
hlB burial at Sidon, is altogether too
scant to Identify fully the monu
ment.
Alas for the pride of the Turks, a
recent elaborate study of all the known
facts and traditions concerning the
burial place of Alexander the Great
reaches the confident conclusion that
his body was embalmed at Memphis,
Jn Egypt, and first given a resting
place there, and afterward removed!
to Alexandria and there entombed. Mo
hammed made a saint of Alexander,
transferred his name to another side
in Alexandria, and gave his old rest
ing place to the name and fame of the
prophet Daniel, anci built a mosque
there to that prophet.
