Little Child Carried of by Animal ana

An extraordinary but apparently
well-authenticated story of a bears
freak comes from a Russian village in
the district of Odof. The village lies
on the fringe Of a forest, whence it is
Of frequent occurrence for bears to
make prowling excursions both by day
and night into the adjacent settle
ments Some two weeks ago two
young girls, aged respectively s and
1S. were surprised by huge bear a;
a short distance from the village. The
animal seized and carried off the
younger child. while the elder terror
stricken. fed home and gave the moi
unusual alarm.
An immediate pursuit was institutoe
and the search was continued durins
the evening and the next day bui
without result. On the third day. with
the assistance OF neighboring Yillag
ers. a wide Gordon was drawn arounc
an extensive tract OF the forest, anc
the searchers closed in. Toward sun
down the bear and her booty We're
discovered in a dense thicket The
child was perfectly unharmed, says
the London Mail, and reclining ia z
deep mossy couch made fer her by the
bear.

Somewhat later came the Greeh
crucifix, one Of the most beautiful
Of all the forms and which many
contemporary divines contend would
form more atting part Of church
ceremonials than the one in common
use. This Greek cross was meant to
typify the triumph over death. but in

blossomed with flowers Of gold ane
silver and was richly studded with
gems. In 6s2. during the reign Of
Justinian. the Council Of Trullo was
held. The object OF the famous con.
ference was to devise a means by
which to circumvent the mysticism
and symbolism that were threatening
TO undermine the Christian religion
and deprive It Of its true meaning. Il
was pointed out that the signs and
symbols used in the service were be.
coming more and more important
than the things they stood for and
that to the ignorant mind the story Of
the life and sunerings Of Christ be
gan to be only sort Of myth, an
allegory II was resolved to suhstt
tute the sctual human figure Of the
crucihed Christ for that OF the SYN
bolic lamb. This act resulted in the
creation Of the orthodox cruci6x Of
to-day.
