stitutional position among the crowns
OF Europe; it is also distinguished by
a most romantic career. According
to the Hungarian textbooks the
crown was sent in the year 1000 by
Pope Sylvester II to Stephen, Duke
OF hungary, who had just then
finished the good-sized task of con-
verting the fierce Magyar horse
men to Christianity. According to
this version, hardly more than a leg
end, Pope Sylvester had the crown
made for the Polish Prince Boleslav.
and was just about dispatching it by
courier when one night an angel
appeared to him in dream and en-
Joined him to give the crown to
Stephen. Awakening, the Pope gave
the crown to the Abbot Asztrik (Ot-
trik), with the words:
"Tell the duke of the Hungarians
that whilst am merely a successor
Of the apostles, he is real apostle
himself"
Thereupon Asztrik delivered the
crown to Stephen, who soon after
ward was crowned first king Of Hun
gary at Alba Regia. Ever after the
rulers Of Hungary bore the title
Apostolic King" just as the cpl
tibet "Most Christian" was bestowed
by the Popes on the kings Of France
and the attribute "Most Catholic"
on the kings of Spain.
In contrast to the long historical
past and great sentimental and
legal significance Of the crown of
st. Stephen, the position of tn. i'm
perial crown Of Austria was almost
negligible. This crown, like the
Austrian empire itself, was a purely
artificial creation, made to order,
without a root in history and with
out an emotional background. It
was kept under glass in the imperial
treasury at Vienna. Nobody except
curious foreign tourists ever looked
at it, although it was quite a pretty
object, in fact one Of the prettiest
and most graceful OF all crowns.
with its dainty design emphasized
by pearls and sapphires and it's
ruby colored velvet lining. The
Austrian emperor waS not crowned
at all. The heir-apparent auto
matically became emperor in the
moment his predecessor expired.
But it was customary for emperors
to have crowns; so when Austria.
till 1904 a mere archduchy. was
raised to the rank Of empire by
Francis II (who had to resign his
title az Roman emperor owing to
Napoleon's asccndancy) a crown
had to be provided, too.
The real historic treasure Of the
Vienna court was the ancient crown
OF the Holy Roman Empire, usually
called the crown Of Charlemagne, al
though It had nothingsfb do with the
Frnnkfsh ruler, being, Of a much
later period. TlIfs CROWN VISA ~

greatly in the different European
countries. Strangely enough, the
two extreme interpretations could
be found within the Hapsburg en-
rire. In the Austrian empire proper
the imperial crown was nothing but
IA piece Of ornament, an elaborate
specimen Of jewelry, of almost con-
temporary origin and of no higher
status than any other valuable item
Of the imperial treasury. On the
other hand, in the kingdom Of
Hungary the crown Of st. Stephen,
officially called the Holy Hungarian
Crown, developed in the course Of
centuries into the object of a veri-
table legal and sentimental idolatry
unequaled in any other country.
The crown (Which in this case was
actually identical with the jeweled
headgear worn by the king at the
coronatfon) was the source and de-
pository Of all power in the realm,
and the supreme symbol Of law and
constitution.
According to the Hungarian con-
ception an uncrowned king was no
king at all; his DEGREES had no legal
force and resistance to them was
constitutional. And, in fact, dur
ing the last three hundred years
there was only one ruler who defed
the ancient Magyar traditions CEN
tering around the crown Of st.
Stephen-Joseph II, the enlightened
but arbitrary son Of Maria Theresa.
With the sole exception Of the So
called Iron Crown Of Lomhardy, this
Hungarian crown is by far the Oldest
Of all existing regalia in Europe.
Legend traces back it's origin to Che
year 1000. 1t is certain that it ex-
listed in the first years Of the
thirteenth century, and section Of
it is probably much older than that
Offered for Sale
1t is a strange fate which has
picked just this, the most ancient
and revered crown in all Europe, for
possible object Of commercial
transaction. And yet this is what
happened when, in August last, the
rumor circulated in the European
press that the Hungarian Soviet
government had offered the crown
for sale to an Amsterdam jeweler.
The sum Of 100000 Swiss france
normally about $10,00Q--was named
10 the price. In the mean time Bella
Kun was ousted, and the succeeding
government OF Mr.. Friedrich seems
TO havs decided to keep the crown at
Budapest for an emergency. And If
the dreams OF the monarchist group
now rampant in Hungary should
materialize according to schedule,
this particular crown will soon have
z job again.

world affairs. Admission already
has been made Of the bitter fact that
there are all too many Of them, and
it may be added that some Of them
are existing without sense, reason or
program, but after this due allow
ance it must be noted that those uni
flying movements among the Protes-
tant churches are SO much more
powerful than these divisive ones
that the latter need only be observed
with passing pity. While these are
small and trivial, the former are
dignifed and worthy. Among many
the following ought to be widely
known:
1. The Interdenominational and
World Embracing Organizations for
special tasks, such as:
Cd The Young Mems Christian
Association.
(b) The Young women's Christian
Association. r.
(c) The World Sunday School As
ISOLATION.
(d) The international Young Peo- x
pies Movement. ~.
(e) The Anti-Saloon League.
Not one Of these would come Justly
under the criticism Of the men
met on that train that night, or Of
the common criticism most frequent
ly expressed Of the Church. They
are not overlapping each other. They
are not jealous Of each other. They
are vast united expressions Of the
Christian Church upon it's most
salient tasks.
2. The Federal Council of Churches
Of Christ in America.
Here is an organization Of ten
years standing, officially represent
ing the thirty-one most important
religious bodies of the United States.
A staff of officers, hacked by liberal
budget appropriated in part by the
Church constituents for the spe-
ciic purpose of carrying out the COM
mon united programs >of these de-
nominations. Through this council
the united evangelistic plans are
administered, the united temperance
ideals are promoted, the united
social responsibilities are met, the

slightly shattered.
~ NE would not be particu-
larly surprised these days
to find an advertisement
like the above in a Euro
pean newspaper. For the number
OF royal crowns out of job has in
creased enormously during the last
three years. The first Russian revo-
luton of March, 1917, started an
avalanche Of regalia which culmi-
mated in November, 1913, with the
collapse of the Central Powers.
The number Of unemployed
crowns in central and eastern Eu-
rope to-day may roughly be put at
forty. With the accompanying in
sigma of sovereign power-scep-
ters. crosses, swords, robes, etc.
they represent an enormous treas
ure even if only the actual value of
gold and precious stones is consid-
cred. Some Of them are exquisite
pieces of craftsmanship. What
with the historic "reminiscences and
sentimental associations attaching
to them, their aggregate value is
practically beyond computation.
The foregoing estimate Of the
number Of crowns once engaged in
making uneasy the heads that wore
them may seem large, seeing that
monarchies were overturned only in
four countries-Russia, Germany,
Austria and Hungary. To this num-
her, however, must be added that Of
tn kings, grand dukes, dukes and
princes onsted by the revolution in
the German federal states. This
brings the total up to about twenty
seven.
The discrepancy between this
twenty-seven and the forty before
referred TO Is explained by the fact
that the word crown" is commonly
employed as covering two distinct
conceptions, one abstract, one con-
crete.
It is the custom to speak Of
the "British crown" Hungarian
crown" Russian crown" in which
case Crown IL synonymous with
the abstract idea Of sovereign
power. In this sense each monar-
ehy has but one crown. But the
word also denotes the concrete OBJ
iect defined by tho New Standard
Dictionary as ~ decorative circlet

CT these men, who I believe to be
a fair Interpretation Of the so-called
rank and file, that Christianity is so
divided in it's organized life in the
Church that it cannot be accepted
very seriously. as a great force in
this vexed hour Of the human race,
when this assistance is most needed.
That this view is superficial, un-
fair and unwarranted can be estab-
lished beyond doubt by an actual
consideration Of the facts, and there
does not seem to be anything more
important than that men everywhere
should have their minds disabused
OF this exaggerated idea Of the d.
visions Of organized Christianity.
Weaknesses Admitted
In going forward to call attention
briefly to some of the elements which
are making for unity in Christianity,
and therefore for prophecy that
the Church will not wholly fail. in
its duty and privilege as world
power in the new world order. it is
fair to admit freely that there are
divisions, more than there ought to
be; that here and there sectarian
competition manifests itself more
than it should, and that rivalries and
Jealousies do still spring into view
over Incidental theological questions.
But the suggestion is ventured
that the Christian Church as whole
throughout the world is more united
to-day than the Republican party or
the Democratic party Of the United
States. 1t is more united upon essen
tlal questions than organized capital
or organized labor. To understand
this striking statement demands wide
horizoned views, among which some
Of the following are worthy of Sc
rious consideration:
First-Christianity, by every name
known throughout the world. is set
against war and riot as a method of
settling grievances. This is equally
characteristic of Roman Catholic.
Greek Catholic, Nonconformist and
Protestant Christianity. All of these

NENTLY at the close Of a
N day which had been spent
in railway train, giving
ample time to read the rec
ord Of current events, political, So
cial and economic, it being the day
after the Senate's final vote upon
the peace treaty, the writer sat be-
wildered by the turmoil of Con-
gressional ideas, the bitterness of
class commercial strife, the wide
chasm Of racial issues, the distrust
and jealousies Of nations, and a
hundred other kindred differences
Of opinion, led by men and peoples
so, metallic in their conclusions as
to give little hope Of compromises
which would at all promise perma-

unique design. Unlike other royal
crowns, it was not covered with
arches or hoops, but was open on the
top, coronet-like, except for single
arch queerly extending between the
front and the back plaques. The
cross was mounted, not on the top of
the arch, but at its foot, above the
front plaque. After the armistice
of November, 1918, the demand was
launched in the Italian press that
this crown, being that Of the Roman
Empire, should be restored" to
Italy. The claim, however, had no
historic or legal foundation, as the
Holy Roman Empire of the Middle
Ages was a German and not an Ital-
ian creation.
Cermany's Crown Was New
The crown of the German Empire
is Of quite recent manufacture. It
was made in 1871 for Wilhelm I. the
grandfather of the friend Of Gott,
when he was acclaimed German En-
peror in the Hall of Mirrors in Yer
sailles. 1t was modelled on the pat
tern Of the Charlemagne crown, with
alternating plaques, eight in num-
Der, bearing either a cross or the
imperial eagle, inlaid in pearls and
diamonds. The crown of the EN-
press and the coronet of the Grown
Prince were similar, only smaller.
These pieces, together with the
rest Of the German imperial and
Prussian royal crown jewels, are
said to be "in safety" on Dutch soil.
where they were conveyed after the
revolution.
The Russian regalia contained. in
the first place, a number of crowns.
most valuable of which was the one
made by the Geneva jeweler Pauzie
Tor Catherine II in 1852 and used
since at the coronation. 1t has the
shape OF a Byzantine inter or
bishops headgear, symbolizing the
eccleslastic supremacy Of the Rus
sian monarch. It was topped by
colossal ruby, which held a cross
composed of five large brilliants.
The two hoops holding the ruby
were inlaid with 38 large pearls
each. The two sections Of the inter
were Of ornamental silverwork, all
studded with diamonds; the circlet
had 20 large diamonds. The lining
was of purple velvet. The Czarina's
crown was similar, but smaller, and
contained more than 100 large bril-
liants.
Besides this crown there was the
so-called diamond cap, or the tiara
OF Peter the Great, also studded
with diamonds, the crowns of Kaaan
and Astrachan, the first bestowed bv
Ivan the Terrible on the Tatar
King of Kazan in 1853; the other

Church Denounced
In lull in the debate brought
forward the possibility Of the Chris
tian Church as a factor in the COM
plicated situation, with no hint Of
my personal views. Answers came
fast and furious. One said, "Noth-
ing doing; they are too busy quar-
reling among themselves. Another,
"They have to spend all their time
and money building up their sects;
they are out Of it." Another, "They
are too much set on heaven to mix
in this muddle." Another, who
proved to be an ex-Mayor Of great
city, said, eff they could get to-,
gether on this thing, they would do
more than all the rest of us COM

Summarizing the impressions of
those travellers, who may be re-
garded as representing the COM

they had reached these conclusions
First-Little hope Of courts,
leagues, congresses, ETC., being of
themselves, unsupported by something
deeper, able to bring about normal
