PAGB BIGHT. — THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL. BARNWELL. SOUTH CAROLINA V THURSDAY, DECEMBER *7, W34 PAST IN HERALDRY $H0W / Relict of History Opened to : Public for .First Time. London.—For the first time In his tory the public was admitted to the sacred precincts of the college of her alds, when that Institution held an ex hibition here to celebrate the four hun dred and fiftieth anniversary of the granting of its charter by King Rich ard III. The Heralds, Olarenceux king of arms, Lancaster herald. Rouge Dra- jrnn pursuivant, under the direction of the hereditary earl marshal of Eng land, are inextricably linked with the spacious days of British history, when men were all brave and Jousts and tourneys occupied that place in public affection now filled by ball games and the gridiron. Even today the college Is an extremely busy Institution, par ticularly when a coronation or some other magnificent state function Is in prospect. Its everyday work calls for the qualities of artist and lawyer, poet and magistrate, master of ceremonies and arbitrator. Heraldry is a fine art which is also an exact science, and it is one of the duties of the college to direct and control the design of the crests and icoats of <arms with which the most newly created lordllng wishes to em- ■blazon his automobile and household silverware. Further, the college ren ders indispensable service to students ■of history, chivalry and genealogy, with its ancient records and its deep knowledge of precedent and custom. I Stresses Value of Tradition. 1 “In times when many disruptive ten- |dencleg are at work the value of tradi tion Is brought home’to those who have the stability and continuity of ■our civilization at' heart,” said the jforeword to the catalogue of the com memorative exhibition, and that-.sen? tence may help to give some under standing of one of the most amazing and fascinating shows ever seen In London. The college of heralds Is so old— It was probably In existence long be fore its charter was granted in 1848— that it refers to reattiries as lightly ■as others speak of years. In this ex hibition were seen pedigrees of the Fifteenth century which trace the origin of the Saxon kings back to ■Adam and Eve. This magnificent vel lum makes the intriguing suggestion that Adam “dyed of the goute.” Earl of Lemonade Recorded. ( The college of heralds touches at *o many points in the history of these Islands that it was not surprising to *ee a prayer book of King Charles II, lent by King George; while near by was the pedigree of Admiral Lord Nelson, and signed In the admiral's own shaky hand. This tree is of very "xnodest Tdze, rompnreti with some of the vast charts which were on dis play. The negro slave, Henri Clirlstoplie, iwho became king of Hayti, created a nobility of his own which included two peers with the high-sounding titles of “the Duke of Marmalade” and “the Earl of Lemonade." The original register of arms of this exotic no bility was in the exhibition. Among grants of arms \Vas the draft of a grant to .Tolm Shakespeare of Stratford-on-Avon, father of the poet, (Jind an interesting note in defense of ,bis granting these arms by the garter king of arms of that day, when it was jolalmed that they loo closely resem bled the arms of Lord Maulev. • » Of particular American interest was the picture of Heralds proclaiming the Feace of Versailles lo 178.1, by which the independence of the thirteen col- conics was recognized by the mother ■country.

At twerfty-six Lyman, married and the father of one child, became dis satisfied with working as u day la borer. Purchasing a rickety truck, ho moved his family to Fremont and made arrangements to haul coal at 73 to 90 cents per ton. This work fed his family of four— a second child was borrt last year— and paid the expense of Lyman's col- lege education. > Barnwell 50 and 25 Years Ago.

Originally founded by me late Haz- raMnayat Khan of India, the cult has numerous branches iu the United States and England, as well as throughout Europe, Mnsharoff Khan, brother of the founder, is now the "master” or shaikh-ul-mu-shaikh of the movement. * Interviewed In the beautiful ram bling gardens near the Sufi headquar ters at Suresnes Just qutside of Paris, the elderly American school teacher described the keynote of the Sufi Movement as “a combination of all known rellglons^a sort of super-re ligion.” She added: il “There is nothing strange about us except perhaps that we are very tol erant of others. "Parts of Brahmanism, Buddhism, Mohammedanism, and the Old and New Testaments are Interwoven In the Sufi Movement. Disciples and of ficials serve without remuneration, and in most cases have private in comes or professions. “There are groups In New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Los An- gules:—imeriUltlOD&l headquarters are in Genevar but we-have founded this colony near Paris and hope soon to have a temple here to which pilgrims may come from all parts of the world.” Preaches No Dogmas. She explained that the cult features no “romantic eccentricities” %0d preaches no dogmas but world brflfh- erhood.
