SILENCE used to fall upon an

could have heard a pin fall. To-

rise of the curtain. They continue
TO talk and to take the entire
house into their confidence. You
hear that she was at Mrs. So-and-

Blank had a gorgeous operation.

had been very bad at golf lately,
and didn't know why-perhaps he
was q bit run down-and so on.
Somebody in the audience says
"Sh! Sh" and the two look around
surprised to see that the curtain
Is UP. The play has started. They
resign themselves to their fare
with a murmur Of disapproval,
and you wonder why they bothered
to pay out good money for thea.

the break between the Western ana

Western Christians during the Fourth
Crusade; and church vessels were
takon or destroyed in many cases at
the time of the Reformation.
Russian Churches Richoct.
Russian church treasures have
been among the richest in existence in
late years. When Russ ENJOYS were
sent out by the then Scmi-c'Villzcd
state in 9S7 to choose national rcll-
gion, they were most impressed by the
wealth and rich beauty of the services
at Sancta Sophia. Since that time
Russian churches have been marked by
their wealth of ornamcnta tion. Screens,
rcliuuarics and canOpics of precious
metals were to be found in all of the
well to- do churches. In some OF the
richer institutions whole walls OF
sanctuaries were of silver and some
floors of Jasper. Numerous icons were
studded with jewels and some were
almost completely covered with va
rious precious stones. Some of the
pals used were practically small rugs
of gems.
Probably the wealthicst OF all reli-
gious institutions in Russia was the
Lavra or supcr-mOnastcry "a KEW.
Before the World War it had. an an
nual income of hlaf million dollars
and a we'll stocked treasury. The
second most important institution, the
Lavra of st. Scrgius, near Moscow,
had treasure with a prc-war value of
about s325, 100000. At the Cathedral
of st. Isaacs, st. Petersburg, there was
more than a ton Of silver in the form
of ecclesiastical vessels, and in addi-
ton much gold"

CHURCH TREASURES
People Have Always Been Lavish
With Their Church Gifts.
TEMPLES and EONASTERIES MADE Rich
Stores of God, Silver and Precious
Stones Are Often PIundered BY In
vadinu Armies-Russian Loot OF
Church Not Without Precedent.

Rcouisition of church valuablcs by
the Soviet government, reported IN dls-
patches from Russia, raj scs question
as to the wealth of the various rcliS-
ious institutions of the world
Since the dawn of history people
have been lavish with their gifts lor
religious purposes, whether they wor-
shipped idols or an unseen God, says
n bulletin from the Washington, d. C.,
hcadouartcrs of the National Geo
graphic Society.
The result is that in all ages treas
urc. usually in the form of gold ana
silver and precious stones, has flowed
TO temples and churches, monasteries
and other religious institutions. In
any period and in most parts of the
world then, except during recent dec
ades in the west, a considerable part
of the liquid wealth Of the world has
been in ecclesiastical hands. Only the
treasures of temporal princes surpass
those of the religious institutions, ana
in some instances, as in Tibet, the
monastcries and temples held practi-
cally all the country's treasure.
Old and New Religions Use Gold.
Archeologists find that the pagan
temples OF civilizations dead for thou
sands of years, were ornamentcd with
a wealth of precious metals. lndlan
temples OF several faiths have lad their
rich treasures and their ornaments Of
gold and silver for centuries; and they
have made use as well OF glittering
array of diamonds, rubics, sapphires
and other jewels. Many an idol today,
from the dim interiors of Indian tenn
pies, looks out through eyes OF great
lustrous, precious stones, and wears
other gems that might ransom an en-
peror.
Christianity had to fight for its life
for the first three hundred years OF its
existence, and its rites were carried on
in the simplicity that secrecy made
necessary. But with its official recog-
milton came the tendencies when
had marked most of the openly accept
ed religions which had gone before; to-
ward the making of gifts TO churches
by devout followers and powerful pa
irons. and toward the use of more
elaborate and costly paraphernalia in
the services. Constantine, first Chris
tian emperor of Rome, lavished gifts
on st. Peters church in Rome and on
Sancta Sophia, in his new capital,
Constartinople He thus had a hand
in enriching the two most famous, and
once the two richest, churches in
Christendom.
Church Treasures Often Looted.
"The marked enrichment of Christian
churches began in earnest in Italy and
the East in the fifth and sixth centu-
ries and spread in early medieval
times to France and other western
countries. Not only did the churches
accumulate gold chaliccs patens, can
dclabra, and other small objects, but
many had large screens of gold and
silver, as well as fronts and statues.
To few of the churches altars OF
solid gold were presented, but later
tcrials for affairs. Precious stones also
