COUSIN OF KING PETER TALKS

 I have just had a most interesting chat with Prince Alexis Karageorge- witch, cousin Of King Peter.
 T am glad to meet an English jour nalist," said the prince, for it gives me an opportunity of exrpessing my appreciation of the sympathy which England extends to us in our national aspirations. That sympathy has been much prized by Servians for many years.

ORIGIN OF CRESCENT
Emblem of Byzantine Empire and the
 Eastern Church

London, November 16-Though now regarded as essentially Mohammedan, the Crescent was Christian in it's ori- gin. A crescent moon was the emblem of the Byzantine Empire and the East ern Church. and the Turks adopted it as a badge of triumph after the capture of Constantinople in 1453
 With reference to the crescent the story of the origin of the crescent shaped Vienna roll is worth recalling. It arose in the sixteenth century when the Turks ware besieging Vienna, and iailing to carry 1t by assault began tc drive mines under the walls. At that period the city's bake houses were in the walls under tine fortifica tions, and when the mines were almost through the sound of the work was heard in the underground bake houses and the alarm given. It was to celebrate this event that the bakers adopted the Turkish emblem as the shape in which to make their bread.

Akron, o., March 15.-The hundreds

faces who gather each Sunday morn

exemplided a practical sort Of Chris
tianity-the kind Of Christianity the
Carpenter of Galilee probably would
have worked out had He lived on earth
in this age of modern industrialism.
Here 1t is that the Mems Bible class
of the First Church of Christ meets
and in many ways, it is the most note
worthy movement of its kind in church
history.
1t was only a few months ago that
the class was formed. But so intense
was the interest so jealous the efforts
of Rev. George Darsie, church pastor,
and it's teacher, and Aaron Rubright,
business man and it's president, that
it wasn't long before the class outgrew
its quarters In the church and rented

makes a statement that doesn't meet
with the whole-souled approval of a
man in the audience, and instantly
there is a discussion on in which
scores of his hearers may join.
The class started with one hundred
members. The numIs- is now draw
ing close to the 500 marx, Among the
practical features that have been put
into effect are a free employment bu-
reau which finds jobs for dozens of
men every week, and a weekly sick
benefit which yields a member week
ly income If he is sick or disabled.
More of these features are coming.
IF the church has been weak in any
way" says Rev. Darsie, ''it has been in
the neglect of the fraternal possibili-
ties of its work. The problem of saw
ing souls has been permitted to over
shadow the problem of helping men 70
a better life in this world"
Fred Leu is the press agent Of the
class. He used to be in charge OF
publicity for the state dairy 'and food
commissioner, and knows the game.
It is due to his efforts in advertising
the work as much as to the hustling
of the others and the downtown loca-
ton of the theater, that the place is
packed every week with men most of
whom wouldn't go to church or Sun
day school under ordinary conditions.
