CINDERELLA LEGEND IS OLD
Found Among Myths Of Almost Every
Country Of Europe, With Differ

The well-known fairy tale of Gin

myths Of the Aryans, and from that
II is known that II is the story of the
Sun and the Dawn. To the Aryans
the Sun was the Child Of Night the

died as he rose In the heavens
Cinderella, gray and dark and dull,
Is all neglected when she Is away from
the Sun, obscured by the envlous
clouds. her sisters and by her step
mother. the Night. SO she Is the
Dawn, and the Fairy Prince Is the
Morning Sun, ever pursuing her to
claim her for his bride.
This is the legend as 1t Is found in
ancient Hindoo books, and explains
the source and meaning Of this fairy
tale, which Is told In the language OF
every country IN Furope. Likewise do
all the versions OF the stories OF
Beauty and the Beast" Jack the
GiantKiller," Little Red Riding
Hood" and great number OF other
fairy stories, come from the same
source, and yet with enough difference
to show that none of them are copied
from each other.

Negro Pastor Says They Will Ask

White people will be asked to con- tribute toward the erection of the new St. Johns A. NJ. F. church. which will be built in the near future at cost of S107,000, said Dr. H. N. New some, pastor of the church. who has recently returned from a meeting of the connectional missionary board of the A. M. F. church In New York city. The most striking item of news reaching him while in New York, he states, was statement to the effect that the white citizens of Atlanta had guaranteed 30 per cent of the s170,000 cost of Bethel A. NJ. F.. church, now being constructed. Dr. Newsome believes the Birming gham people will do the same for the St John church.
 Dr. Newsome said that after all his travels he had never decided to leave the south. What I desire,' he said, lis equal accommodations for the same money. better protec- tion by those in authority, better school conditions, no lynchings, but arrests and punishment for the gull . ty.
