the words of Christ which are quoted
in the eighteenth verse OF the six
teenth chapter of Matthew: And I
say unto thee, that thou art Peter. and
upon this rock I will build my church;
and the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it." This is the authority for
considering the great apostle the first
head Of the church, and why each sue
cessive Pope is called the heir of the
fisherman.
When we read what the first follow

seems that they could not have Jared

There are so many churches in Rome
that TO visit them at the rate OF one

small chapel capa ole of accommodate

There are enough miraculous stories

Vatican Has 1000 Rooms.
Adjoining St Peters IS the Vatican,
the home of the bOpes and the largest
palace in the world. That this eXtraOr-

that the contents of the Sistine chapel
alone are worth a billion dollars. Who
could estimate the price that Michael
