i Iona Sacred Spof.

Yona has been a sacred spot time out of mind. Long before the earliest mis- sionary came to Britain, 1t was place consecrated to the early Druidic cere. monies. After St. Columba founded his colony, the ground was held so holy that kings bade their subjects bury them there. The bones of 60 mon- archs, Irish, English and Morse, lie under the sod of Iona today. One spot, known as the Tomb of the Kings, Is still marked by row of monuments, fenced in by an incongruous modern iron railing. It lies in bare plain, whose surface is dotted with other stones and monuments, half covered with grass, leaning sadly awry. It is long time since those stones were raised. In spite of gloomy climate, Iona is beautiful. The soil Is so fer tile that for centuries its fertility was regarded as miraculous, due to the at- mOsphere of holiness rather than na- ture.
