chOristers and prelateS appeared and went
up to the High Altar that seemed, in the
dim light, quarter mile away. The
church doors We're closed at half after
eight, leaving about 10000 people, many
of them with tickets, outside.
Then came the wait of a half hour and
at 8 o'clock the trumpeters took their
places on the balcony over the main en-
trance, inside the church, and the most
delicious, soft, indeScribable music came
out from the silver trumpets and per-
vaded the entire edifce. At the same mo-
ment red damask curtains were drawn
back from the entrance and the pope,
preceded by the cardinals with their sec
retaries, was brought in. lie was shout
der high in the Sedia GestatOria, carried
on the necks of eight guards. A mighty
crucifix went before him and he was
fanked by the enormous and famous pea
coclI-feather fans 1t may be quarter of
a century ere a similar sight is to be
seen. He moved along very slowly,
blessing the people silently and in return
being acclaimed by them. while through
and over all were the heavenly music of
the silver trumpets and the rising clouds
of incense.
In the very far distance the mass and
the other ceremonies began, and as the
church is so vast those like myself near
the door went out into the piazza and
waited until nearly > o'clock. Then n
group of cardinals appeared on the out
side balcony and the pope in his white
robes and wearing his gold mitre came
out. actually forth into the outside
world and under canopy formed by
the peacock feathers he gave his blessing
to the entire universe.
Much significance is attached in Rome
to this act of hiS-presaging n closer
union between the church and the Italian
state and giving the pope freedom of
movement and travel when desired by
him.
