from Elder W. A. Roop, dated Berlin, Ger

been occupied in sightseeing in Denmark
and Sweden. Elder Roop was especially
pleased with his visit to Copenhagen, the cap
ital of Denmark, and with the country of the
mound builders. His objection TO Berlin is
the beer drinking and the disregard Of the
Sabbath. The State church service which he
attended was noted for its splendor and its
music. The ceremony was extremely ritua-
liste. The building, magnificent structure,
was erected in memory of the great Kaiser.

pany left for Munich and Rome.
