ORDER RETURNS TO
ITS ANCIENT HOME
knights Hospitallers Back
in Jerusalem.

Rising like a stalwart sentinel from
one of the hills of the Holy City
stands structure which turns back
the flight of time more than 800
years.
1t is the shelter which houses the
Order of st. John Of Jerusalem,
founded about the year 1890 for the
protection Of pilgrims coming to
the Holy land to visit the holy
sepulchre. Driven from the city by
the Saracens in 1857, they have re-
turned after eight centuries of per-
secution and vicissitudes, and are
once again carrying on here the
service for which they were organ
lied.
For the Knights Hospitallers, as
they were then called, built in the
Eleventh century an establishment
known as the hospital of st. John,
which besides being a shelter for
pilgrims. provided accommodations
for lodging and caring for the un-
fortunate and infirm.
Having as their motto, "Pro Eide,
pro Utilitate Hominum," the Order
of st. John of Jerusalem was one of
the first of the various orders of
chivalry and was in character part
ly religious and partly military.
When in 1857, the Saracens, I'M
der Saladin, conquered Jerusalem,
the knights were turned out and fed
to Acre which later, after Rich
ard Occur de Lion had conquered it,
became known as st. Jean d'Acre.
Here the knights established them
selves and the city became the most
important stronghold of Christianity
in the East.
The knights remained for 100
years until they again came into
conflict with the Saracens, and
after suffering heavy losses, were
turned out. This time they fled to
Cyprus, where the king allowed
them to found a convent and hos
pital-the chief house of the order
in Cyprus and the castle of Kolossi
Seeking a permanent home for the
knights in 1910, the grand prior of
the order succeeded in expelling the
Saracens from the island of Rhodes,
which then became their home. They
remained in power until 1922. when
Suleiman the Magnificent determined
to GUST the knights from their island,
as they were a formidable obstacle
to his scheme of conQuering the
West. There followed a period of
seven years homeless wandering
along the Mediterranean littoral, I'M
til in 1880 the Spanish emperor,
Charles V, decreed that they might
settle in Malta. Here they built the
city of Valetta which became a city
of knights.
A branch of the Knights Hospi
tallers had existed in England from
the Eleventh century, having as their
headquarters a priory in Clerken-
well, London. From all available
accounts, this priory must have been
a fine example Of Thirteenth CEN
fury architecture, but unfortunately
the only remains Of the original
building today are to be seen In the
crypt of the church of st. John in
Cierkenwell.
When Henry VIII dissolved all re-
ligious orders, the knights were again
disbanded. Queen Mary reassembled

good potting soil is hard to obtain.
No drainage is required, and the bowls
containing the fiber may be set safely
anywhere about the room. The fiber
should always be firmed when the
bowls are being prepared. Most anna
tours leave it in a loose condition,
which is a mistake. Hyacinth bulbs
should be planted so that the crowns
come almost flush with the surface,
but narcissi and daffodils should have

the Due Won Thol tulips should be just

BROTHER NORTH WIND
AND JACK FROST ARRIVE

HONKER the Goose had not been
i many days ahead of Rough Broth
er North Wind and Jack Frost. He
seldom is. All the little people Of the
Green Forest and the Green Meadows
know this and so when they heard his
message, i"HOnk, honk, honk, honk,"
those who still had work to do worked
harder than ever.
Paddy the Beaver went all over his
house very carefully putting on fresh
mud wherever it was needed so that
when Jack Frost did arrive he would
find it all ready to be frozen hard.
Jerry Muskrat hurried to get in the last
of his supplies. Happy Jack the Gray
Squirrel and his cousin, Chatterer the
Red Squirrel, scampered about faster
than ever TO get all the nuts possible
before they should be hidden under the
snow. Bobby Coon, Unc' Billy Pos

to burst their coats bv stuffing them
selves with everything they could find.
They were so fat they could hardly
waddle. You see they make store
houses of their own skins. Yes, in
deed, those were busy days.
Then one night when all was still
Jack Frost arrived. He came silently
and only these who were awake knew,
because he slyIy pinched them just by
way of warning. Unc' Billy POssum
was one of these and he didn't wait
to be pinched twice. He promptly
turned back to his home in hollow
tree and curled himself up in his warm
bed for a long, long sleep. Bobby
Coon did the same thing. Buster Bear

WHEN YOU
COME
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH

g OMETIME l shall sieep-and you
y Will you come, wonder,
In the sunshine, in the dew,
In the days of thunder?
Will you come with wreaths alone.
Come with red, red roses,
Where the one that you have known
Now at last reposes?
I would have you come, know,
But the thing to bring me
Is some dream Of long ago,
Song you used to sing me.
would have the gift you brought
In that moment to me
But some unforgotten thought
From the days you knew me.
Sometime you may come again
With some sad reflection.
I would have you bring me then
But a recollection.
Sometime you will come at last
There where l lie sleeping
Bring me something from the past,
And leave it in my keeping.

Are We Created Unequal?

singing From Greenland's Icy Noun

She could see India's coral strand, the
great icy mountains of Greenland and
the hot soil of Africa-all wildly in
her mind. She was glad the hymn
had been written by some one who

Yes. the pulpit had been decorated
