ITALIAN SCOUTS HoNoRED

On the very site where Once Chris
tians were offered as the prey of wild
beasts to amuse the Roman pOpulace,
in the Roman coliseum, when Caesar
sacrificed the faithful to satisfy a
pagan lust, a christian service has at
last been held. 1t was celebrated re-
Gently in memory of the boy scouts of
the Italian arrDy who had done mes
senger service at the front and were
killed in action
The altar used for the service was
one which had been. carried by the
Italian armies through many cam
paigns in the Alps and was placed in
the west end of the coliseum. The
service was presided over by Monsig-
nor Bertolomasi, who held the rank OF
general in the Italian army, being the
chief chaplain to the Italian forces.
The immense ruin of pagan days
was filled with people. Detachments OF
boy scouts occupied the central part
of the building, a place IN pagan days
used for the arena.
After the mass Monsignor Bertolo-
mast delivered a stirring sermon in
which he drew attention to the change
in human thought which was able to
convert this pagan amphitheater into a
Christian temple.
