crosses, around which they nightly
gathered and watched for the appear

lieved was hurryng to destroy the
world, and with music and incanta
tions and weird ceremonies sought to
avert the cataclysm. In PueblOs and
Ciudads they gathered in the churches
ana spent day and night in prayer.
In the more remote and more
ignorant sections they have been for
days in state of abject terror. Many
sought refuge in the caves and can
yons in the mountains.
Tonight marks a wonderful change,
and as the hours pass and another
day approaches, joy is taking the
place Of gloom and feasting and dane
