And. we asked our selves whether this difference did not explain the greater hopeful ness, vigor and growth of Protes tant Christianity in these strenu ous latter day s.” We then proceeded to the Vati can Library, where we saw the celebrated Vatican Manuscrip of _ the Bible among the many art Land of Promise (TO AND FROM) By Rev.

After luncheon we drove direct ly to the remains of the Theatre of Marcellus (now a tenement build ing and once the prison-house of Beatrice Cenchi) after which the Colosseum is supposedly pattern ed; thence to the Campanile Church, the Temple of Hercules, Rienzi’s House, the Temple 61 Fortune, and the Island of the Tiber and old Roman Bridge and arches; and out of the city and old Roman walls by the Gate of St. Paul and Pyramid of Caius Cestius (finely preserved), close by the English Cemetery,in which we were given time to see the tombstone of the poet Thomas Keats, once so villified, now so re spected, with its striking epitaph written by the one whose body now lies beneath it—“Here lies one whose name was writ in water!" On we went a couple ot miles through the country to the splen did B silica of “St. Paul outside the walls" (built by the govern ment and Roman ministry), with its granite columns from the Alps, alabaster columns from the Orient and old court and fine engravings —the richest in the world and the handsomest of the modern church es in Rome. Large of dimension and costly of material enriched by Egyptian alabaster, Russian mala chite, and fine old mosaics, it was consecrated in 1854* R* lovely and impressive interior will ever remain with us as one of our most lasting and enjoyable memories, being in the highest and purest de gree tasty of look without gaudi ness. This is just as we found it. From the inscriptions and paintings found in the catacombs much is learned as to early belief and prac- , tice and worship, but it is signally j notable that “there is literally the silence of the tomb regarding, masses tor the repose of souls, the adoration of Mary, prayers to saints, enforced celibacy of the clergy," etc.; in a word, that “no specifically Romanist doctrine finds any support in inscriptions dating before the fourth century."

Maria Maggiore a proud place among the very finest of the basil icas of Rome." (Dr. W. W. Moore). Then we took in the Basilica of St. John in Lateran (dating as far back as Constantine’s time, but destroyed and rebuilt again and again), with its beautiful bronze doors from the Senate House in the Forum, and some fine mosaics, marbles, frescoes, and statuary. Its great relics are the skulls of St. Peter and St. Paul, the psuedo mass-table used by Peter in Pu- dens’ house, and the so-called ce dar-table used by our Lord and his disciples in observance of the Last Supper(?) In the Lateran Museum (the former Palace of the Lateran) are some fine sarcophagi and bas-reliefs. But we must not jump too far at once, for just across from the N. E. corner of the Lateran we visited a building containing what is known as “the Sancta Scala" or “the Holy Stairs,” Lord Jesus Christ and the Father m Heaven above. We could not so compromise our principles, for curiosity or any other reason der the sun. In Rome we did not do as Rome does, we try as truly to serve God and man away from home as when at home,and are not twisted on the one side or other to conformity to the ways of an evil and adulterous generation, chang ing color according to circumstan ces, like the chameleon. The costume ot the Swiss Guardsmen in the papal palace is peculiarly striking in its bright yel low and gold and other colors, the design of the great Michel Angelo. In the afternoon we visited by carriage in order the Baths of Caracalla, Porta Capena, Septizo- nium of Emperor Septimuis Se- verus, the site of the Circus Maxi mus, the Arch of Drusus, St. Se bastian Gate, the Chapel of Dom- ine Quo Vadis, and St, Sebastian Chapel and the remarkable Cata combs (literally “down tombs"), and old Roman tombs of the Ap- of great historic interest, and up _ , , . , .i « . n an Wav.

We passed by the remains of a decay ed saint, exposed in a glass case. He was not a success as a corpse, mummy or skeieton, but a grand success in embodying the repulsive features of each. Then descend ing into the vaults below, we saw the skulls of 4,000 Capuchin monks, apparently gazing at us. When a monk died, he was first buried in the holy earth brought from Jerusalem. Then the re mains of the monks were gradual ly dug up as tne space was needed for a new ‘hie jecet.' Some that had mummified were dressed in their cowls and set, up along the walls in different attitudes. One seems to be bowing to you; anoth er, with sightless eyes, seems to stare at you; a third, with con sumptive looking form and shrun ken chest, bends intently over his prayer book, Then the living monks took the bones of their de parted brethren and hic-jacet-ed them as wall-flowers, and as fres coes on the ceiling, and as foot lights on the edge of their little imported burying-ground. Was all this in contempt of death, in derision of art,to economize space, or to attract sight-seers? We did not ask, We cannot tell." (Stud- ley).
