and TO expel missionaries.
The resolution also expressed re-

After calling attention to the oppo-

pers to the course of Congress, the
resolution said:
Surprised by Attitude.
I'm these circumstances we have
been surprised to receive reports

of invaders that boycott of Ameri-
can goods has been threatened and
that movement to c1pel American
missionaries has been suggested.
These are unworthy actions. set
ting violence against violence. While
we criticize anti-Japanese agitators,
we are actually following their mar
row example. 1t is an unworthy at
titude for a great people.
we sincerely hope that the whole
Japanese nation will not falter in
their traditional fortitude and pa
thence in the present trying circum-
stances, treating others in spirit of
fairness and justice. and that we. re-
siding either at home or abroad, will
1dmonish each other to observe re-
Strafnt and calmness to the end that

may ultimately be attained"

Early Christians Hid
in Catacombs of Rome

The catacombs OF the early Chris
tians Of Rome consisted Of long, mar
row galleries, usually about eight feet
high and five feet wide, branching of
in all directions, forming a perfect
maze Of corridors. When one story
was no longer sufficient, staircases
were made, and a second line Of gal
leries was dug out beneath.
The graves, or loculi. to receive the
bodies, were cut into the walls Of the
gallery, one above another. They were
closed laterally by a slab, on which
there was occasionally a brief inscrip-
tion or a symbol, such as a dove, an
anchor or a palm branch, and some
times all Of these. Some Of the in
scriptions and epitaphs were beauti-
fully carved, some merely scratched
on the slab, and others were painted
n red and black. In later times beau
dful frescOes were common, in which
were Indicated the Christian faith and
devotion.
1t is now regarded as certain that
n times Of persecution the early Chris
1ans frequently took refuge In the
,atacombs, since burial places had the
light Of protection by law, and they
also gathered there to celebrate in Sc.
ret the ceremonies of their religion

they were poor in the currency de-

acquire much wealth. THEN l will re-
turn and we will be married and live
happy ever after"
So the man departed.
Now, the girl was of practical ma

will endeavOr to make some money"
So she considered what money-mak-
ing pursuit she might follow and she
determined to start a correspondence
college for women.
She advertised largely in the press.
