tons of this fair city, arriving at the
Old Mission in time for the afternoon
vesper service, where the music was
the finest have heard in California.
This is the best preserved, the quaint
est, and intellectually the most
pleasing of all the old missions. Afts
this we were taken onto a hill where
we had lovely view of the city below
US, the mountains back of us and old
ocean in the distance bearing on her
bosom large steamer under full sail
with smoke trailing far in the rear.
As we saw only the chapel of the
mission on Sunday we came again
next day, when black robed friar
with young, kindly and intellectual
face showed US over the other paris
Of the building, giving al, who wished
an opportunity to ascend the tower
where fine view CT the CITY al d
surrounding country is to be had.
He showed US furnishings and utensils
of ancient origin, and beautiful hand
illuminated books. I always feel
when | see these that we owe the
monks of former days debt of graft
tude for preserving for us in this slow
and painstaking manner many valu-
able manuscripts which might other
wise have been lost to the world. We
were shown the places where the
Indians lived and wrought, and where
hundreds of them lie buried.

Of the children, and many kindly acts
are remembered by them. 1t is also said
of MIN that no needy person ever applied
to him for coal and was refused because
he had no money. His kindly deeds,
done In a quiet, unostentatious way will
long be remembered.
