Visiting Holland, Italy and Switzerland
The members of the Alliance of the
First Church Federated, and a few
friends enjoyed a very delightful travel
talk at their regular meeting last Thurs
day afternoon when Mrs. Charles M,
Craig described her visits of the past
summer. She also had some very in
structive pictures to illustrate several of
the most noted places.
She began with Holland, telling many
interesting things about Rotterdam.
Delft and The Hague. In Rotterdam she
visited the church which was built in
1900. and she said that never before had
America seemed 80 young to her. She
went to the top of the so-called White
House in Rotterdam, to get view OF the

England town, in spite of its large num-
Der of inhabitants, and remarked particu-
larly about the large number of bicycles,
She said she could easily avoid automo-
biles and other vehicles, but that it was
hard to keep out of the way of the bicy-
cles for they came in droves. In Delft
she saw the place where William the Si-
lent was assassinated, the bullet hole still
being seen in the wall. The Hague is a
very beautiful city, with very modern
buildings in the new part, and just step
away is the old part of the city. Here is
a wonderful picture gallery. the Peace
