From time immemorial the well contain

/ the confession" The word, l believe is
properly applied to the altar rail, from
/ the ancient practice of repeating there the
| general confession Immediately before re-
ceiving the communion, a custom now
| somewhat modified. But 1 may be wrong
in giving this derivation. Indeed, a mar
! bic balustr follows the horseshoe shane
of the well, and upon it are placed 95 gfld-
ed lamps which burn perpetually. There is
SAID to be no special significance in the
number and they produce very little effect
by daylight.
But on the eve of St. Peters day and per-
haps at some other seasons, the pope has
been known to come down to the church
by the secret staircase leading into the
chapel OF the Sacrament to pray at the
! apostles tomb. On such occasions a few
great candlesticks with wax torches are
placed on the floor Of the church. two and

words IN the private pilgrimage of the
head of the church to the tomb of the chief
apostle by night on the eve of the dav
which tradition has kept as the ami
versary of St. Peters martyrdom from
the earliest times. The whole Catholic
world, II it might, would follow Leo XIII
down those marble steps and 200 million
voices would repeat the prayer he saws

knowledge that they have happened where
we stand and recall them has a mysteri-
Gus power to thrill the heart.
