The next day at neon we resumed
our journey, and reached Bern en- the
evening OF the 30th Of June. We were
welcomed mos, royalty by President
Maggie and wife, together with the
brethren in the ofiice, BrolherB Rogers
and Clos. The two days we spent In
Bern were very busy ones, ana even
then we were unable to visit all the
places OF interest. 1t Is very
interesting city, not alone on ac'

We received our appointments July

Brother Sohulthess for Winterthur In
northern Switzerland, and for Dres-
den, the capital OF 6axoDy. 1t WAS n
DAY long to be remembered. We went
by way OF Lakes Ihun aud BrieDg TO
get view VI the celebrated Alpine
scenery.
The morning was lovely. Our route
was through some OF the most besutl-
lul scenery my eyes ever beheld. A
ride OF an hour brought us to Thun,
where we went on board the small
steamboat In waiting, and with the
exception OF brioi change at Inter.
lAkeD, we had most uelig htful ride OF
i've hours. The smooth water OF the
lake sparkled in the sunlight,
aud spread out TO the very
base OF the lofty, snow.cspped
mountains that lowered on either
eide. With the exception OF the
glacial peaks. the whole was one mars
OF green. Dense forests covered The
mountain side, dotted here and there
with grassy plots, where the Swiss
peasant has built his Alpine cottage;
waterfalls, and cascades from far up
the heighIe, rushing and roaring, came
tumbiing into the lake below.
