Travellers all know how celebrated
the bell towers Of Italy are. Each i'm.
portant church Is made more beautiful
architecturally by the campanlle. or
bell tower. which can be seen for miles
away. because the church Is always
built on the highest point OF land.
Italy has church towers and civil
towers. the first being the handsomest.
They are always attached 10 house oi
worship and In medieval days we're
used as watch towers and for forts. IN
the sixth century bolls were introduced
In the towers 10 call the people 10 pray
ers. Civil towers arose In the eleventh
century, when palaces with battle
mented towers, were built in great
numbers. Nearly all the towers In
Italy are square; some, however, have
six or eight sides and few are round.
Tho oldest are moderated and built
OF massive stone or brick. lighted by
mere loopholes Of windows. Gradually
many changes we're made and orna-
mentatlOn, pillars and large windows
we're put In the towers
The leaning tower Of Pisa Is well
known. II was built In the twelfth
century and is thirteen feet out Of per.

pondent met in Central New York, few
years since, lady who was then 80
years of age. She inquired particularly
about the Methodist church in Stratford
which she visited but once In her life
when she was girl of 16 years, driving
with her father and mother from Easton
to hear the presiding elder preach. The
old lady remembers d the name of the ell
der, the text he preached from and por,
ton of the sermon. Since that time she
had always had warm spot in her heart
for the Stratford Methodist church. If
the history of the boys and girls who
have gone out from her Sunday school
could be known, it would no doubt lie
very Instructive and interesting.
