1t is usual, among recent writer's, to name
"The Cross and 1.-THE Crescent Ito distin-
guish the respective creeds in the present Tur-
co-Russian war. In fact these several'symbols
plainly mark. the Christian and the Ottoman
faiths. The question when and why the Otto
mans adopted the Ores cent has been much dis
cussed long before now. 1t was alleged that
Mohammed broke the disc of the moon and
caught half of it falling from heaven in his
sleeve-ths is stated in the KoIan,san seems
to indicate that Mohammed made the young

cent or half moon with the horns turned up
ward was religiousisymbol however, long be-
fore the Turkish Empire began. 1t was re-
ported that Sultan Gilman, founder of that
Empire, A. d. 1899, dreamed that he saw a
crescent moon that waxed until its splendor
illuminated the whole world from east to west;
that he then adopted the crescent and emblaz
oned it on his standard, with the motto, DoneT

But the crescent moon had been a symbol well
known to the worshippers of Diana in the an
cent mythology of Greece and Rome. There
are old statues of her with the appointing cres-
cent over her brow. Another account is that
Philip, of Macedon, father of Alexan-
night in undermining the walls Of Byzan-
tum, which he was besieging, and his opera
tions were discovered to those within by sud-
den appearance of young moon, and that in
gratitude for this timely light the Byzantines

tile design by creating temple to Diana, and
by adopting her crescent as the symbol Of the
state. 1t has also been alleged that in 1446,
when the Turks took Byzantium, they adopted
the crescent standard which they found there,
and which the Janzaries had borne for more
than a century previous. Undoubtedly then
the crescent was the emblem of Greek, previous
to the superiority of the Turkish rule. Oddly
enough at the present day the crescent is to be
seen on and in churches in Moscow and other
part of old Russia, generally surmoanted by
thes cross, thus unquestionably marking the
Byzantine origin of the Russian Church.
