T h e ir slen der, tw isted branches and unusual four-petaled flov • s have seemed to ca ll fo r explanation and the legends have trie d to account fo r them , w rite s P aul D avey, tree e xp e rt, in the W ashington S tar. One of the legends is to the effect that the dogwood, because of the hardness of its wood, was chosen fo r use in the cross at the c ru c ifix ion. The te ch n ica l nam e o f the tree is Cornus, fro m the L a tin corna, a horn, and re fe rs to the ch a ra c te r of the wood. The legend runs th a t the dogwood was m uch distressed at be ing chosen fo r such a te rrib le p u r pose and th a t , the S avior, sensing this feeling, m ade to the tree th is pro m ise : “ N ever again sh a ll the dogwood tree grow la rg e enough to be used fo r a cross. H enceforth i t sh a ll be slender and bent and tw iste d and its blossom sh a ll be in the fo rm o f a cross—tw o long and tw o sh o rt petals and in the center o f the o uter edge of each petal there sh a ll be n a il prin ts, brow n w ith ru s t and stained w ith blood, and the ce n te r of the flow er w ill be a crow n of thorns. “ A ll those who see it w ill re m em ber it was on the dogwood th a t I was cru cifie d and th is tree shall not be m u tila te d or destroyed, but cherished and protected as a re m in d e r of m y agony and -death upon the cross.” I t is a b e a u tifu l way o f e xp la in ing the p e cu lia ritie s o f the dogwood. H is to ry does not bear out the leg endary assum ption th a t the cross was m ade fro m the wood of the dogwood, but th a t does not take aw ay fro m the beauty of the legend.

SWAYZE, P resid en t Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation C j SISTIAN SGIEH3E CHURCHES << fflHRIST Jesus” was the subject ((_. of the Lesson-Sermon In all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, August 28. The Golden Text was, "Thou Ucth - lehem F p h ra tah , th o u g h thou be little am ong the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me th a t Is’to be ru ler In Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from ever lasting” (Micah 5 :2 ). Among the citations which com prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: “ And the angel said unto her. F ear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and sh alt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the H ighest: and tFe Lord God shall give unto him th e throne of his fath er David” (Luke 1:30,31,32). The Lesson-Sermon also Includ ed the following correlative pass ages from the C hristian Science textbook, “ S c ie n c e and H ealth with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary B aker Eddy: “ He was ap pointed to speak God's word and to appear to m ortals in such a form of hum anity as they could understand as well as perceive. Mary’s conception of him was spir itual, for only purity could reflect T ruth and Love, w h ic h were plainly incarnate In th e good and pure Christ Jesu s” (p.332).
