st. Peters Rome.

H. X. Hinde, M. d., of this
city, has an excellent descriptive
article in recent issue of the st.
Louis Christian Advocate upon
the subject, "Somc Things | Saw
in Europe" We quote herewith
his description of st. Peters Rome:
Having once seen this greatest
of temples ever reared by the hand
of man, ! can have no distinct
recollection of any other cathe-
dral. | will give the dimensions
and attempt no detailed history or
description of this magnificent
building. Length within the walls,
Coz feet; width Az feet; height
from pavement to the cross, 45S
feet. My experience was that of
everyone upon n first vista dis
appointment as to the seeming size
or the building.
The poet explains it thus:
Enter; its grandeur ovcrwhcms thee not.
And why? IL is not lcsscncd; but thy mind
Expanded by the genius of the spot,
Has grown colossal, and can only find
A fit abode wherein appear cnshrincd
Thy hopes Of immortality; and thou
Shalt one day, il found worthy, so defined,
See thy God face to face, and aS thou
doSt now,
His holy of HOLES, nor be blasted by His
brow
While | could not for the time
grasp the size of st. Peters, the
magnificent statuary and paintings
thrilled me to my fullest capacity
of aesthetic enjoyment. No more
glorious scene, coming from the
hands of man, do | ever expect to
witness in this life, than that
bursting upon my vision as | stood
near the great altar in the center
of st. Peters and gazed up into
that marvellous dome. Eye and
taste and soul were satisfied as |
stood and drank in this sublime
picture, put there by the immor-
tai architect.
After feasting upon the pictures
of human genius within, / ascend
ed to the great roof and prone
naded at my leisure over this vast
expanse, representing as it does,
quite village of occupants, alta
ches of this vast basilica. From
this point | had a fine view of the

THE MESSAGE
THURSDAY. OCT. 25, 1900
Vote "Yes," Here.

Editor MESSAGES:
Mexico, Mo-, Oct. 10. The last
General Assembly of Missouri sub
mltted seven constitutional amend
ments to be passed upon by the quail
fled voters of the State at the No.
vember election. And to my mind
amendment No. 3 is of more i'm
portance to a majority of our tax
payers and voters than all the rest;
altho | believe most of the others
are important and should be up
held. The intent of this amend
ment is to place all parties on an
absolute equality in the matter of
taxation in this State, and to pre-
vent the debtor classes from pay
ing taxes only on the property they
really own. For instance, if Mr..
A would buy a farm of Mr.. b for
$1,000 and only pay 81 900 on the
purchase price, giving deed of
trust to b for 81 1000, the balance
of the purchase, b will be required
to pay Is of the taxes and A q,
instead of all, as the law now is.
The same principle to apply to
personal property. This will save
millions of dollars to the debtor
classes of this State and every hon
est man should vote yes to amend
ment No. 3.
Respectfully,
e.. +. CLARK.
