PAGE TWO THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 35, 1932 Daughter of Rasputin Awaits Chance to Avenge Russia's "Mad Monk" Marie Rasputin (shown above), the circus-performer daughter of Ras- | putin, Czarist Russia's storied "Mad Monk", has inherited the dark and | brooding eyes of her father (lower | ators after--according to legend--he effect. ¥ daughter Paris, Nov. 3.--Th monk of Rasputin, celebrated whose occult influence swayed the last Russian court, cracks her whip here and uses her mys- terious eyes, resembling those of her father, to exert power over her subjects. She is a circus per- former. But when trumpets the appears ice at the Cirque d'Hiver of Marie Rasputin, she doesn't step among roaring lions and snarling tigers, as might be expected of one of her lineage. Gaily dressed in exotic Russian style, she simply but majestically drives into the. arena a group of pretty and docile ponies. Her act is tame in association with | the mystic name that puts it | over. Tragedy has pursued the Ras- putins since the night that Prince Felix Youssoupoff and his colleagues set out to execute the monk who they believed respon- sible for many of the political and social ills surrounding the | Czar's family. Likes Circus Life "My sister was poisoned in Leningrad." Marie explains. "Mv mother, who is now 75 years old, and my brother are imprisoned in Siberia and forced to do hard labor. I am penniless and have to work for a living. T have tried dancing, but I do not like it as well ag circus life. T prefer to be with my ponies." Marie's husband, Solovieff, died nearly three years ago ort. | announce she has two children to support. "I hate political activity," she added. "My entire family was ruined by politics, and so was the ' royal family, whom we all loved very much. I want fo keep clear of the past. But there is one thing--" The woman's remarkable eyes widened and her figure strained under some deep impulse "If Youssoupoff comes to this circus I' shall kill him," she de- clared. The supposed slayer of her fa- ANNE LINDBERGH'S SISTER 4 IN 'ROMANCE ered is a mew portrait of Miss lizabeth Morrow, sister of Mrs, €harles A.

It is almost exactly six- teen years since Youssoupoff and a group of (zarist lured the Black Monk death. Rasputin, born in 1870 into the poverty and squalor of Rus- sian peasant life, had risen through St. Petersburg society until he had become a royal fa- vorite, The mystic and hypnotic power generally attributed to him was believed to have domi- nated both Czar and Czarina And it was with the purpose of freeing the rulers from his sin- ister influence that Rasputin was slain. Stories of that betrayal been told many times--how monk, whose scandalous love in- trigues were common had zone to the home of a trait- orous friend, and how chat- ted for hours and drank quan- tities of poisoned wine with no apparent ill effects. And one of the plotters, who hy this time were half that Rasputin was incarnate, to his have the gossip, he how convinced a devil t finally shot him dead {33 Denies Gossip "Those who hated my father did not know him," his daugh- ter continued. "All these stories about his so-called orgies vicious propaganda Far from being a fiend, he was a saint. He was a simple countryman until he wag brought to the attention | of the Czar's family because of his remarkable ability to effect cures. It ig absurd to talk of the wrong my father did to the Czar, He was a great patriot and he loved the royal family, but he was misunderstood and be- trayed. The history of the world | turned with his death Marie speaks easily, devoted- ly, of her father. She callg him "Papa." In referring fo death she said: "When Youssoupoff called at our apartment, Papa received him, opening the door himself, as usual, because he was go simnle. Before leaving us on the last evening he came and kissed us goodby--my brother, my sister and myself--as was his custom, He told us he would return about midnight, and we went to bed.

ITALY'S MOTOR COPS ARE FIGHTERS Part of the reason for the minimum of crime in Italy is due to the vigilance of the Metropolitan Military Motorcycle Police Patrol of Rome, which is a valuable fighting unit. The corps, guns ready for action, is shown in review at the seventh anniversary of its or- evidence, that he had not seen Papa. My brother telephoned to the police and then to the palace of the Czar. No one knew what had become of Papa. "We were called after the dis- covery of the body.

Customer -- Well," would you mind showing me something elsed | Sunday School Lesson | THE MAN FROM THE COUNTRY Our first lesson text for to-day is from the Book of Amos. Amos was a8 shepherd who lived far away from the busy haunts of men and came into the city once a year to sell hig wool. He was a rustic in very truth, and what he saw in the big city was all very new and strange, And when he came to look into it some- what closely it seemed that much of it was very wrong and wick- ed. And being a man from the country and used to thinking his own thoughts and expressing them in an honest way. he says a few things about what he saw and how it impressed him. And the Book of Amos is the record of what he said. We need once in a while at least someone to look at our way of living with fresh and un- spoiled eyes. We get so accus- tomed to things that our sense of appraisement and eriticism gets somewhat dplled. Because we fail to see anything wrong is no sure proof at all that there fsn't ing wrong. If we can- not get any one from the outside to do this judging and appraice- ment for us we ought to put on the best clear-visioned glasses that we can find and go at the task ourselves as honestly and faithfully as we can. And after we have done that we ought to face squarely the thought that nerhaps something ought to be done about it. Apparently Amos' day was in | some particulars very much like our own, He found a good deal of social injustice prevailing, and it often takes some one with a very honest and straightfor- | ward way of looking at things to discover that. If you are in any sense a beneficiary of a scheme of things that isn't quite fair to avery one 'all around, it is very difficult for you to see and ap- nreciate the unfairness. That is a fact in the situation that you ought to keep well before you. Amos not only found that the rich people were getting richer all the while and the poor get- ting poorer, but he found that the rich, who had already much more than they could make any rational use of, were actually stealing from and defrauding the poor. And that was the situ- ation that so terribly shocked) this man from the couptry. Out where he lived men lived sim- pler; there was less of distinc tion among them and brother- hood and kindliness had a better f chance. But we mustn't think that be- cause we are not rich that therefore Amos has nothing to say to us, The men who thinks too much about getting is very apt to get hard and cruel and unjust, whether he succeeds fin getting much or not. It 1s possi- bly almost as easy to cherish in your own soul meanness and grasping and injustice and the spirit of the racketeer if you never get to be a rich man as if you do. The thing to guard against is letting the lust of things crowd out of your life the kindliness and sympathy and fairness and justice that belong to you as a human being, to say nothing of as a Christian. To Amos the great marvel of his day was how cruel men could be to one another, and that con- tinues to be, alas, the marvel of even thig twentieth ecntury. Our second lesson text is ta- ken from the New Testament and presents Jesus' parable. As our lesson for next week is on the stewardship of money, we might, perhaps, best confine ourselves today to a considera- tion of the place that industry King Street United Church} REV. R.

On November 15th The Minister will deliver his dramatic Recital "BEN HUR" By request of the Women's Association. Keep the date open and fidelity and hard work should have in our lives as fol- lowers of Jesus Christ, Of course we mustn't forget that Jesus is speaking specially to men! who were eager for big places in His Kingdom, and what He is telling them in the parable is that such places must be waited for and earned by the faithful and con- sistent and loyal service that the rules of the Kingdom de- mand. But what is true in that sphere is just as true of all life. The world does not owe any man a living until he has done his best for it to put it under that obligation. Loafing and lazi- ness are not any more Christian than are stealing and murder. Industry, in the right spirit and in the right things, makes as good a Christian virtue as any in the list. The Church Everywhere "BY CLERIC" The Methodist synod in England have continued the festivities over union. The civic authorities marked the occasion and Bishops of the Church of England, or their Arch- deacons, with officials of the Non- conformist bodies, delivered con- rratuatory addresses, At Birming- ham, Bishop Barnes was given a great ovation when he rose to speak on the influence a united Method- ism will have on the religious life of England. Another impressive ga- thering assembled in the Great Hall of Christ Church, Oxford, where 212 years ago John Wesley dined as an undergraduate. His portrait looked on the company from the wall where it was hanging among other celebrities. = Addresses were given by the assistant bishop of Ox- ford, the rector of Lincolm College and the Lord Mayor. Dr, Headlam, Bishop of Gloucester, in an article in his diocesan magazine on the un- ion, asks the question: "Is Metho- dist organization a more effective means of promoting schism? « ss It is estimated that there are 28,- 524 members of the Centenary Memorial of the Oxford Movement, together with 1,890 religious, and 2,530 priests and bishops. It §s planned to hold an Anglo-Catholi congress in Chicago during Septem- ber, 1933, followed by another in Philadelphia, and one in Toronto. The Church of Ireland has just commemorated the coming of St. Patrick. Addresses were given by the Archbishop of Dublin, the Pro- vost of Trinity College, and the Bishop of Limerick in a survey of the history of Christianity in the "Green Isle" during the past 1,500 years, A pageant play, "St. Patrick" was performed every evening for a week in the Mansion House. The Passion Play at Oberammer- gau will be given in 1934. The us- ual rule of presenting it only at 10- year intervals, will be set aside ow- ing to the fact that it will be the 300th anniversary of the inaugura- tion of the famous pageant, * LJ LJ Dr. J. Scott Lidgett, president of the Methodist Church of England, has been compared with the late Baron Davidson, of Lambeth, They belong to the "grand old men" of the nation, who carry on under the weight of the greatest responsibil- ities although being over % years of age. The latter was Primate of the Church of England for the long- est period in tour centuries, They were also great friends, Dr. Lidgett being the first Free Churchman to preach in Westminster Abbey. Both were gifted with the powers of sta- tesmanship, one piloting the Wes- leyans and also influencing all his Methodist brethren for union, and the other guiding the destiny of the Established Church of England, al- though hampered by cross- currents within and great obstacles without. Dr, Lidgett proved his ability as a chairman when he steered the new- ly constituted conference safely to its first harbour, Many considered t'.at his firmness was rather pro- nounced, Now, however, he is nrix- KNOX Presbyterian Church | Simcoe Street North and | Brock Street | 11 a.m.--Public Wor. | ship. 3 p.m.--Sunday School. | 7 p.m.~Public Worship. fl: The Rev.

His father was an elder in Finnieston Church, Glas- gow, and his grandfather an elder there during the ministry of Dr, Andrew A. Bonar, Dr, M. Me+ Intyre, who baptized him, was pre- sent by request at his ordination, and before going to Jerusalem the bishop-elect attended his old church during a service last August. He follows Bishop Maclnnes in the Holy City See, and at his consecra- tion the heads of all the Eastern Churches, with representatives from the Church of Scotland, the Luther- an Church of Germany and the Or- der of St, John of Jerusalem, were present, In the audience of St. George's Cathedral not only were Christians represented but also the Moslem and Jewish population, The resignation of Dr, . Gra- ham, secretary of the Board of Ed- ucation of the United Church of Canada, took place at the last meet. ing of the General Council.
