Veronica Bishop died. leaving a note
that she was brokenhearted over the

point of view of the present war in

ancient Thessalonica, the city to
whose inhabitants st. Paul addressed
his epistles to the Thessalonians. That
was nearly 1900 years ago.

miles. 1t is marvelously situated,
forming a wide amphitheatre just OPP
posite the Mount Olympia of classical
days, now Mount Lacha. The name
Thessalonica is believed to have been
given to the town some three cen
turtles before Christ, either on account
of a battle gained by the Greek King
Philip II OF by Cassandra from Thessa'
lonis, the name of sister Of Alex
ander the Great. st. Paul evidently
had the spiritual welfare of the citi
zens deeply at heart. He preached to
them from a wonderful marble stair
