The knocker seems to be afraid of
dying from shame if he should ever
be caught saying something good about
a person. He knocks the folks he
works with. If you mention a good

starts in with long string of defects
to offset the good qualities.
This animal has very keen eyes

good qualities he is stone blind. In

Jealous, and when one has a feeling Of
inferiOrity, it is much easier to run

LONG A PLACE OF WORSHIP
Before the Christian Era Romans Hon
ored Their Gods on the Noun
tain of Monserrat.

MOnSerrat, the famous shrine in the
Spanish province of Barcelona, illus
trates the effect which high mountains
have on men. When you climb to the
top Of a high mountain you feel wOr-
shipful and at peace with the universe.
MOnserrat is an outlying spur of the
Pyrennees which stands all alone
splendidly dominating a rich plain. II
is one Of the most ancient and famous
of Catholic shrines. According to
legend, many centuries ago an image
of the Virgin was found at the top of
the mountain, and it was impossible to
move the image. Thus ii was shown
to men that they should build a shrine
on MOnSerrat.
In medieval times it was shrine of
unexcelled beauty and splendOr. An
emperor came here to kneel and to
cover the great Byzantine church with
gold. queen walked up the noun
tain barefoot. The great and the
learned of all the Christian world
gathered at Monserrat. Its greatness
came to an end in the nineteenth CEN
fury when the French sacked the
shrine and carried away the Orna-
ments.
Now the church has been rebuilt
and offers free lodging to the pilgrims
who come there still, but the fame
and splendOr of the place have shrunk
Yet MOnSerrat will always be a shrine
Before Christ the Romans had a tenn
pie Of Venus there and before that
more than likely savages wOrshiped
their gods on the mountain top.
Worship vertically grows in the soil
Of MOnserrat.
