No more interesting stories are to be
found in all history. than the record
of the Spanish missions among the
savage tribes in the interior of South
America. Men of the highest culture
renounced the attractions of the courts
of Europe and went to a life Of danger,
and privation and years OF a loneliness
that was worse than the martyrs
death 50 many of them met.
One of the most interesting of the
pictures shown by Mr.. Thompson in
his lecture on Venezuela is a group of
bells on one Of the churches on the
Orinoco, one of which was SEN from
Spain to the mission of Santo Thome
de Augustura, nearly three hundred
years ago, and Is still sweet-toned af-
ter all these years. The story as told
by Mr.. Thompson is full Of interest,
but if the bell could speak and tell all
that has happened within the sound
of its ringing, its story would be more
interesting still.
