Swearing Allegiance to Russia.

, The ceremony of swearing allegiance
to the new czar, which has been going
on i'll every Russian church i'll Europe,
is an old Byzantine one Liturgical
chants and prayers precede it. The Off
ciating priest and singers are heard
but not seen during the devotional part
of the service When they appear they
como forward. A crucitix and copy of
the gospels arc OH the table. The con-
gregation, beginning with the function
aries present, then file past the table.
Each halts while the priest, holding up
the foretinger and second finger of one
hand, recitcs the oath. Thepcrson to be
sworn III holds his hand in the same
manner. When the formula is repeated,
ho says, with hand on the gospels,

the crucitix. Tho Duke of Leuchtenberg
