Church a Public Utility.

Nor did the Serbian Church ever at

subjects that was won by the church
in other lands: 1t was established as
a public utility, and its duties to the
people were closely defined in the old
Serbian codes Thus, the monasteries
were bound to feed the hungry, to take
in the sick and to give hospitality to
the traveller. Moreover. the Doushan
code says: The monk shall possess
nothing and shall not have in his cell

FREEDOM OF THE SERB
DATES FAR IN HISTORY
Strong for Individual Liberty When
Autocracy Was the Worlds
Rule.

Slavery never existed under the Ser
bian state. and Serbian emperors in Eu-
ropes youth made protests in behalf of
individual liberty the subject of inter
national communications" says the la
test primer of the National Geograp phi
ic Society, which tells OF some early
Serbian traits that illustrate how nat
urally this people came by their pas
sionate love of freedom.
The Serb. like all of his Slav broth
ers. has been a believer in the equality
of men from his appearance in history.
This belief has been maintained by
him, despite his long-continued con-
tact with autocratic ByZantium and
the Ottoman empire. The empires to
the south of Serbia were mostly the
strongholds of privileged RINK and sub
servient masses, while the sturdy Slavs
in the north jealously guarded the
rights and the dignity of the individual
Erect Before Their Rulers.
Etiquette at the Byzantine court de-
manded that the great noble who came
into the presence of the emperor should
bow, kneel and kiss the emperor's
thigh and knee. The man of low. de-
gree who reached his rulers presence
had to grovel PROSTATE on the earth
before him. The noble at the Serbian
court greeted his sovereign erect, while
each kissed the other on his temple.
Even the commoner stood erect before
his ruler. following the ceremonial Of
kissing the rulers hand.
Hereditary titles have played but .
small part in life in Serbia, and besides
the head man of federated clans, the
despot, king, emperor or prince-as the
heads of the Serbians have ranked
birth in a caste has conferred few
privileges.
The Serbian has stubbornly main
tanned his right to part In his gov
ernment. All classes of his nation have
always possessed hereditary property
rights and the right to trial by jury.
From earliest times they enjoyed local
self-government and administered their
town and village affairs.
The great noble of the empire was
privileged before the law in that he
could only be called upon to appear
before court in the morning. never
In the afternoon: but this privilege did
not give him any immunity from pun
iShment for his crime
