For Church Leader
BY the Associated Press

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, July
30. The Serbian Orthodox
Church leader Of Montenegro

goslav activities and sentenced to

The district court of Cetinje,
historical capital Of Montenegro.
handed down the sentence
against Metropolitan Arsenic
Bradvarevic, 70. after a two-day
trial.
The court clerk reported the

Metropolitan Arsenic. who
has held his Office the past six
years, was arrested July 6 on a
four-count indictment. Details
were not released.
Conspiracy Charged.
However, Belgrade religious
sources said one count accused
the Metropolitan Of leading q
group of four priests in a con-
spiracy to overthrow President
Marshal Tito's independent Com
munist government.
Religious sources said one OF
the specific allegations Of con-
spiracy charged Metropolitan
Arsenic and the priests with
celebrating President Eisen-
hower's 1852 election by meet
ing and drinking toasts OF
coffee.
The sources listed these other
points in the indictment:
/. Conducting hostile propa-
ganda against the state by dis

ance.

We can easily understand the
exultation of the great leader Of

the turbulent waters of the Red
Sea. 1t is the alternative of death
or reinstatement from behind or
death by drowning in front. It
seems an utterly hopeless situa-

the Bible, arose and drove the
waters back, making walls on

continent and that the Red Sea
was then continuous with the
Mediterranean.
