Kitchen Maids of Sultan Of Morocco

Of Expensive Stuff.

The sultan of Morocco was always
nm absolute monarch. and In that ca

private funds--all belonged to the sui

The "Amen Corner"

The phrase "amen corner" Is said to
have originated in London. where, at
the end Of Paternoster row, the monks
at one time finished their recitation of
the "Pater Noster" as they went In
procession on Corpus Christi day to
ST. Paul's cathedral. They began in
PaternOster row with the Lords prayer
in Lat,. continuing it to the end of
the street. and then said "amen" at
the corner of the row. As used In this
country the phrase described the cor.
ner of church where the elderly mem
beIs sit and pronounce the word
"amen" ut intervals.
