‘Ate holidays over we wilt eontinue
our trip through: Burepe. On Tuesday
July 26th we again arose early and us
soon as breakfast was over the car-
rlages were waiting outside the hotel
in Rome to take -us for another gay of
sightseeing in. the ancient city, Our
first stop was at the Church of St.
Paui which is supposed to be the wenl-
thiest chureh in the world and it ig

inarble statuary in the world. ‘This
is a figure of Mosey cut out of a solid
piece of marble measuring 20. feet by
16 feet... It is the-work of Michael An-

said: “I see but one fault.’ Michael
Angelo was so hurt that he immediate-
ly lifted bis hammer and smashed one
of the knees. The kink yas only go-
ing to say “That it was too life-like,
too real” . It was patched Up but still
shows the marks where it was struck,
The whole church is built of solid mar-
ble and is a wonderful sight. It was
built in 466 1% order oftiudoxia, wite
of Valintinianus IIT, that the chains in
‘which St. Peter had been bound dur-
ing the relgn of Herod, and those
Which had been used when he was in
prison at Momeritinus might be pre-
served in it. Tt was restored by Adri-
an TI, and by Julius whose imposing
sepulchral monument is so much ad-
jinired, We then visited the’ Oburch
of St. Stephen where wo agnin saw
most wonderful statuary. Then we
drove on to the old forum, the ancient
seat of learning, now in ruins. Tt was
built in the 4th century, B. ©. Then
on to Capitaline Till and through the
old ruins which gave one nan idea. of
the past never to be forgotten. Our
next stop was. at the Arch of Titus
which was ‘erected in the year 70 A. D.
and dedicated to Titus by the Roman
people in memory of his victories over
the Jews and conquest of Jerusalem.
.| There are base reliefs at the foot of
‘the Arch which represent ‘his victort-
es and the various episodes of his wars
Being close to th Colesseum we paid
it another visit, This wag begun by
Emperer Flavius Vespnsian ind — fin-
ished by lis son Titus in the year 80.
Tt was given up to gladiatorial games
and sham battles and later. was the
scene of the cruel martyrdom of the
thousends of Christians whieh I have
already deseribed, It was time now
to return to lunch, after which we
went in touring’ cars ‘all around the
outskirts of the city; through the in-
dustrial sections, visiting marble works,
and a tour through the parks find gar-
dens, In the evening we went to sea
a Roman play staged on an open plat-
form in-one of-the parks. This was
the end "of ‘another day. ‘The Next
| morning we started on our Journey to
“Naples. .As we travelled south we got
it‘ even hotter. ‘However the ‘train
trip was only for a few hours dura-
tion.” Our months watered as we no-
