began shall never forget the musical
voices Of the priests as they intoned the
service, and the volume Of sound from
the responses of the people as they ech-
oed through the great dome OF St Peter.

The physical exertion must have been

its gorgeousness, seemed quite too heavy

against the massive marble column. Then.
as they passed from the aisle into the
chapel, we had a far-away view OF the
same figure. He surely has not long TO

We wandered through the almost empty
church. looked at the beautiful monu-
hent of Clement XIII. which IS called
Cornova's noblest work. The angel of
death and the lions are wonderful in their
life-like majesty. The tomb of the last
OF the Stuarts. by Cornova, is very in
teresting to me. but, generally speaking,
it IS not the detail Of the church but
it's entiret you care for. We watched the
pilgrims praying at the portal Of the sa-
cred door, kissing the cross on its side
and passing in. These pilgrims, mostly
peasants interest me very much. Their
simple faith and unique Inconsistencies
are a constant entertainment and lesson
as well. We meet them many places.
