“The worst instance of staurophobia that I have heard of for some time occurred recently in one of our country settlements, in which most of the people are from the northern parts of the Emerald Isle. It appears that in one of the service-books—the Bible, I think—of the church of the settlement there was a silk-ribbon marker, ornamented at each end with a small embossed cross.”
