Halle SeIossie's Gifts

The visit of the Emperor Of Ethiopia to
Washington has passed into history. Halle
SelasSie came and went and his sojourn In the
Capital of the United States now is merely an
incident-albeit an important incident-in the
annals of these tumultuouS times True, some
thousands of our citizens will remember him as
they saw him riding through the streets to the
White House, addressing Congress, touring such
monumental buildings as the Supreme Court
and the Library of Congress and, at the last,
going on pilgrimage to Washington Cathedral.
What may not have been clear and what
therefore we'll may be written as footnote to
the formal account of the Emperors visit is this
salient fact: Halle SelasSie has been interested
in the great Gothic work at Mount Saint Alban
for many many years. He heard OF 1t first in
connection with his own coronation in $780, On
the day of his enthronement, prayers were said
for the success of his reign by the late Right
Reverend James Edward Freeman, third Bishop
of Washington in the relatively small portion
of the cathedral which then was finished and in
sacred use News of this friendly gesture was
brought to the Lion of Judah and he made in
uuiry about Bishop FreemanS diocesan church
and early the following year, sent to him for
permanent deposit there two of the cathedrals
most beautiful and most valued giftS-a richly
decorated copy of the Four Gospels in Coptic
text and the handsome symbolic silver and gold
Cross of Abyssnia carried in procession almost
every Sunday since its receipt.
Halle Selassie naturally did not forget the
exchange of sentiments of good will When he
came in person to Washington last month he
brought with him still another contribution to
the cathedral-a second cross Of pure gold
mounted on a solid-gold. staff. This latest ex-
preston of the Emperors interest now is on
display where it is seen by crowds Of visitors
daily He also left at Mount Saint Alban hv-
ing proof of his friendlineSs-namely, -four
ishing rosebuSh which he planted in the
Bishops Garden as sign of his devotion to
peace among nations and among all peoples.
The cathedral illustrates the same ideal in its
Bethlehem Chapel, over the entrance to which
is carved THE Way of Peace"
The people down the block have cigarette
lighter on their coffee table and keep it in
working condition. We haven't gone to the
FBI yet but these are obviously folks who think
they're too good to run their homes like the
average patriotic American.
