Voyage Was Unique.
'tHis voyage was unique in character
and in valve, It was undertaken only
because We citizens Of this republic rec
ognize that our interests are more closely
intertwined with the interests of the
other peoples Of this continent than with
those Of any other nations. I believe
that history will say that though we
have had other great Secretaries of
State, we have had none greater than
Elihu Root; and that though In his high
Office he has done much for the good of
his nation and Of mankind yet that his
greatest achievement has been the sue
cess which has come as the result Of his
devoted labor to bring closer together all
the republics Of the New World. and
to unite them in the effort to work val
iantly for our common betterment. for
the material and moral welfare of all
who dwell in the western hemisphere"

In the next place, as President of this
republic, I greet the representatives Of
all our sister republics 10 the south Of US
In a sense. you are our elder sisters and
We the younger people. for you represent
a more ancient civilization on this contf-
nent than We do. Your fathers. the Span

lawgivers, and commonwealth builders,
had founded a lourishing civilization IN
the tropics and the south temperate zone
while all America north Of the Rio Grande
was still unmapped wilderness. Your
people had founded American universities.

not merely things Of material value. but
things that are Of worth for the intel
leetual and spiritual welfare OF all OF us
In the century that has passed the de-
velopment Of North America has, on the
whole, proceeded faster than the develop

generous and courteous hospitality which
has been shown this fleet on every pos

trip, made couple of years ago by the

SPREADING THE GOSPEL.
Rev. F. W. Sanford Is Cruising on
South American Coast.

Shiloh, Me-, April S.-Contrary to pub
lished reports, no alarm is felt for the
safety of Rev. F. W. Sanford, who is on
the Coronet with a party of his follow
ers. The rumor is that the Coronet left
the West Indies for Palestine and is now
65 days overdue.
The truth is that the Coronet with Mr..
sanford and some of his followers
aboard is cruising along the coast of
South America. The last that was heard
from them was at Rio Janeiro. Iheir
future plans are not known here, except
insofar as Mr.. Sanford wrote that he
intended to spread the gospel among the
natives of South America.
MIR. Sanford and the pilot aboard the
Coronet are brave seamen and the Coro-
net is a trusty, trim craft. Guided by
God. as they believe they are. 1t would
not be surprising if they attempted to
make the straits and go around Cape
Horn and up the western coast Of South
America. They will probably return to
Palestine, which is the headquarters OF
Shiloh now, before visiting the temple on
Beulah sand hill in Durham.
About 700 people are now at the tenn
ple and farm buildings in Durham. which
make M the Holy Ghost and Us COM

There are 100 head OF cattle In the barns
and about 30 horses. Two members OF

| Down we went and paid our lire and
religiously did our duty by the forum.
We CROPPED down into dark holes and
tried to decipher unintelligible inscrip-
tons; carefully noted what every
broken column stood for, and worried
over the marred remains in a manner
that would have rejoiced the heart of
an archaeologist. What we liked the
best vas the old church they were ex-
cavating near the basilica of Julia.
1t was very old church hardly larger
than one of our smaller churches
Authorities consider it to be the Maria
Nova.
After we had humbly paid our rites
to this collection of ruins, we sat down
and watched others going through the
same strenuous task. AS we looked
around us, we tried to picture the
place once more with all those ancient
temples, and endeavored to repopulate
them with the Romans and their togas.
but it seemed incredible to us that all
those buildings could ever have stood
in such a comparatively small space
as the forum appears today.

hats which we noticed were for sale in
the city, and the glimpses we obtained
of the Italian rural life repaid us for
our long walk.
Even after four weeks stay in
Florence we disliked to leave it, yet
one morning found US steaming away
to Rome. From the valley of the Arno
we passed to the Tiber valley and
although the adjective does not seem
applicable, we saw pretty hogs grazing
quietly in the fields, while the patient

like our word Rome that there was no
danger of our getting carried past.
Our cabman either did not have any
thing to do or else took US for easy
prey, for we afterwards found that he
gave US an unnecessarily long ride,
and he charged US more than the
regulation price. and gave us back our
change in lead money. We We're told
that we must always, while travelling
in Italy, rub any coins that were given

were so in the habit of doing it, that

ly wounded some honest American
feelings, by continuing that custom
after we landed in our country.
On our first afternoon in Rome we
started out to reconnaitre and we first
came Upon the Pantheon. The impos-
ing exterior lead us to a somewhat or
binary interior. The most interesting
thing to us was the large circular hole
in the top, and we were just wishing
that it would rain, when as we were
standing under that hole large drops
began patt9ring down upon US, and
we were obliged to seek shelter in one
of the chapels. From the Pantheon
we proceeded to lose ourselves. We
hunted long and hard for the Via
Ciambella but the Pantheon kept APP
pearing and we continued going
around in a circle. The trouble was
that no one was able to understand our
English pronunciation of that Italian
word When one exceptionally bright
Italian made out what street we were
hunting for, we were shown a sign
not so very far off, that plainly read

house we were in was built on the
baths of Agrippa.
Our first impression on arriving in
Rome was disappointing. Perhaps we
thought the forum would be at the
station to meet us. or that triumphal
arches would loom up in every street
but it was the busy, hustling modern
Rome that we saw first. So the next
morning we started out to see ancient
Rome. Up the Capitoline Hill we
vert and stood on the spot where
Brutus and Anthony made their i'm
mortal speeches. Still the city did not
seem specially ancient until we made
another turn and then all the Rome OF
| yesterday seemed to lay down below
us.

Although we were disappointed at
not obtaining entrance into the
Franciscan monastery at Frisole, there
was one that we could visit but a few
miles out of Florence, and that was
the Certosa di Val d. Ema. Way up
high on hill stands today group of
buildings resembling fortress for the
church with it's stately tower flanked
as it is on all sides by the low massive
cells of the monks. looks like citadel
ready to offer resistance to any ap-
preaching foe.
To reach this monastery was not
such an easy matter. We went out of
the Porta Romano, and there took the
funniest steam tram car ever invented.
1t was not steam car nor an electric
car. but mixture of the two set right
up in the middle of the street. There
were the two classes but this time we
preferred the second. as the seats in
that class ran parallel to the platform,
while the first class seats faced each
other and were nearer the engine.
The car seemed unwilling to start, but
after many groans and puffs it began
to move. Up we went and on and
down. the car never one moment ceas-
ing to puff. 1t was hot day and
when we increased our speed there
was so much dirt and dust that we
had to shut down the windows and
then it was uncomfortably hot By
the time We reached the Certosa the
majority of the passengers were car
sick and the open air never felt so
good to us as at the end of that long
stutfy ride. People have not begun as
yet to take trolley trips abroad for

not one in it could speak Italian much
to the regret Of our pilot. We followed
him into the church first, and although
the chapels were artistic and pleasing,
we all had a strong desire to go way
down into the crypt much to the dis
gust of our monk who disliked the
prospect of such Il descent 1t is
strange what desires tourists have for
belfries and crypts. But that day the
cool damp crypt refreshed US. From
there we came up and out upon a
