tialta's Ancient Capital a Constant Re.
ninder of St. Paul.
The place where Publius, the chief
man of Malta in st. Paurs day. lived
is thought to be Citta Vecchia. the an
cient capital. 1t lies near the center
OF the island. about midway between
Valetta and st. Paurs bay, and is con-
nected with Valetta by a railroad.
Here every turn reminds us of St
Paul. The principal square is called
Piazza San PaOlo, and here we find a
fine cathedral, which is said to be built
on the very site of the house of Pub
Illus. Entering the cathedral, we see
great image of ST. Paul, covered with
silver cloth, a reminder by contrast
perhaps of how little of that precious
metal he was possessed of I'm his life
time.
In nearby suburb of Citta vecchia
Is another church dedicated to St
Paul and named for him. which the
inhabitants devoutly believe is built
over the very grotto in which he lived
during his three months on the island.
and the catacOmbs of the grotto are
also called after his name.
One striking monument to the apos.
tie reminds every passing traveller of
this wonderful story In the bay of
st. Paul is tiny island called Selmun,
and on this island is a towering statue
OF the apostle, which can be seen from
