I'VE are poor from the war, but our
people have become moro religious
and they are moro regular In church
attendance. I think good is coming
out of the war. It Is incr easing their
allegiance to the church, and I be-
lieve that allegiance Is now stronger
than their allegiance to either the
nation or the family. When war
comes it is proof that We are far
from God and a punishment to show
US that we should come back. That
has been the result here"
Does your holiness think that the
Christian churches will ever unite to
christianize the world?"
YES" replied the archbishop. "The
union of the Protestants in America
and Europe is almost made now, and
the orthodox churches are ready to
Join them. But the Roman Catholics
insist on to infallibility Of to Pope
as the vicar Of Christ and as having
tho sole temporal power over all the
churcheS"
"WiI all the world ever become
Christian7" asked.
Tho archbishop threw up his hands
n he replied:
'Who knows7 ! doubt It,"
"Then is all the rest Of mankind to
be damnedr'
yes. The only salvation Is in the
church. Our Lord said: Z am the
way. the truth, and the life. No one
cometh under tho Father but by Me-
Those who do not como must be lost"
This emphatic statement was prac-
tically the close Of the interview.
Upon leaving begged the archbishop
to write me few lines as a message
to the United States. He promised
to do so, and his letter now lies be-
fore me. It reads:
IT believe that America is destined
to become the universal apostle for
the uniflcation OF Christianity, for

car or king Of the country. He Is a
constitutional monarch, having pow
ers somewhat similar to those OF the
King Of England. He is hereditary
ruler, being the eldest son Of Ferdi-
nand Of Saxe-coburg and Gotha and
Of Marie Louise, the eldest daughter
OF Duke Robert of Parma. His
father, Ferdinand. was the first king
Of the Bulgarians, having become so
in 1908, when Bulgaria declared her
independence OF Turkey.
The principality of Bulgaria was
created by the treaty of Berlin forty
six years ago, by which, under the
charge of the Sultan Of Turkey. the
country became self-governing, with
a Christian government and national
militia. 1t was decreed that a prince
should be elected by the people and
confirmed by the sultan, with the
consent of the powers. Ferdinand
was made prince. and when In 1908
the country became independent he
assumed the title of King Of the Bull
garians.
Since then there has been more or
less trouble. The nation has had to
fight for it's place in the Balkans, and
Ferdinand was naturally a fighter

can give some OF the peculiarities
only. The Greek Church recognizes
he Bible, and 1t holds, in common
with the Roman Catholics, to the doc
trines Of the seven sacraments, Of the
sacrifice Of the mass, Of the venera-
tion OF the Virgin Mary and Of saints,
images and relics. 1t believes in fast
ing. in monasteries and nunneries, and
it has its priests. On the other hand.
in place OF the pope 1t acknowledges
the ecumenical council and admins
ters the Lords supper in both bread
and wine. It denies the existence Of
purgatory. and still it prays for the
dead. begging God to have mercy
will not have statues OF the saints,
but uses paintings and. frescoes and
engravings of them in gold, copper
and silver. 1t approves Of the mar
rtage Of priests. but they must be
married before they are admitted to
the holy order.
The orthodox Catholics have only
one mass day. and that before the
rising Of the sun. They do not have
instrumental music, and until re-
Gently the sermon was not consid-
cred important.
During my stay here have talked
with the archbishop Of Sofia, his holi-
ness, Monsigneur Stephane, who Is
one Of the chief rulers Of the church
in Bulgaria In times past the whole
orthodox church was under the Greek
patriarch, who lived at Constantine
pie, but he seems to have mixed poll
tics with his religion. and in time
the church in the various countries
broke away and established indepen-
dent organizations Of government,
such as the Synod Of Russia and
councils of. one kind and another.
Here in the Balkans nearly every land
has its archbishops, and the church
has been so divided that now the
Greeks are practically the only peo-
pie who acknowledge the supremacy
Of his all holiness, patriarch Of Con-
stantinople.
The church here does not like to be
called Crock Orthodox. It's members
say 1t 10 the Bulgarian Orthodox
Catholic Church, and find that the
Same prejudices and divisions exist
in Serbia, Albania Rumania and
Russia.
Archbishop Stephane is one of the
leading Christians OF this part of the
world. Tall and fine looking. his long
black gown of the finest grosgrain
silk fell from his neck to his feet.
His high black hat also made him
look taller and set of his handsome,
