The Swiss Guard.

In answer to a question as to the
reason for calling the Pope's body
guard the Swiss Guard" CORE
srordent says: In short, because they
are natives of Switzerland. The
guard came into being i'll the reign
of Pope julius III, who asked his
friend, Peter won Hertenstein, canon
of Lucerne Cathedral. to send him
200 Swiss men at arms to protect his
person The Assembly at Zurich con-
scented 10 the enlistment of the men.
and in January, 1906, the guard, COM
manded BY young nobleman. Cas-
per Won Silinen, entered the Eternal
City. EV$M8
In the 400 years of it's exisitence the
guard has made an honorable record.
They fought well when fighting was
necessary, but of late deadly weapons
have been laid aside and the function
of the body now is to act as guard
of honor to the Pope.-SWitZerland.
