Tells History of Cross.

The History of the Cross" was
the subject of talk given by Miss
Byrd Mock last night before the
Young Peoples Society of the
Epiphany Church. Miss Mock
pointed out that at one time the
ross was repugnant to Christians
as it was originally used as an in
strument of torture and that it was
not until 312 A. d. that it came into
favor. She asserted that Emperor
Constantine did much to bring the
cross. as an emblem, into favor and
that the symbol first appeared on
Roman banners.

view to insuring higher prices in
1923, when a price OF IL francs per
