SYMBOLS AND NOTICES.
The vast majority OF the people do not under

seen alt over tho city, md an explanation Of
Some Of them cannot, therefore, fail to be in-
. tcrcstln9. The cross is among the u,cst promt-
nent symbols In use. The passion cross is tho
simplest and most common. and represents that
on which .lesus suffered When it has RI:
issuing from it it Is the insignin Of the Com
n,Gudcr of d Commandcry Of Knights Templar.
The templar cross is the eight-pointed red
cross, often called Maltese cross, but from
which 1t differs In that its limbs ere not deeply
notchcd. 1t is the same shape as the white cross
of Malta, from which 1t differs only in color. 1t
was prescribed by Pope Eugenius III. in LAG. as
81 symbol Of tie rnartyrdom 20 which Christians
were continually exposed. +
Thc.Tcutonic cross, as its name implies, was
formerly worn by the Teutonic knights. The
two cross-bars arc OF equal length and cross in
the centre, and the four ends are tipped with
blrs ut right angles Its colors are black, gold,
AMI silver.
The cross of Jerusalem is the Teutonic cross
with Greek cross between the four crosslets.

Kingdom ct Jerusalem, and is deemed symbol
The Maltese cross WIS worn By the Knights OF
Malta, md Is like the Tenplarcrnss except that
its limbs are indcnted or notched. The eight
points nre considered to refer symboucaliy to
the eight beatItudes.

monogram of the name OF Christ formed from
the ilrst two letters OF that mime in Greek, x
Icing the Greek for cA," ana p for tho letter
! ''R." 1t is the celebrated sign which the legend
says appeared in the sky ut monday eo the Emu

The Tau Cruss Is orc shaped, like the letter. T.
It represents the mnrk mentioned By Ezekiel,
by Which those were distinguished who were to
be saved from the wicked who were to be slain
Tho Triangle. or Greek D, delta, Is symbol Ut
the sacred name Of God known only to those
who nre separated by the mark from the wicked.

it is sufficient for the uninltiatcd to know rlat
