Psalm 8:5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and have crowned him with glory and honor. In the apse of St. Sophia's, Constantinople, the guide points out a place where there is a hidden face of Christ portrayed by some early Christian artist. When the Mohammedan conqueror possessed himself of that noble Christian temple he ordered all Christian symbols to be effaced. This beautiful head of Christ was covered over with canvas. When the Christian conqueror again enters the gates of Constantinople the canvas will doubtless be torn away and this bit of early Christian art be brought to light and restored; and let but the gates of the city of man's soul be opened to the conquering King, and his Lord shall strip away the sins that hide God's glory in these fleshly temples, and the resplendent image of God shall be seen in men once more.
