St Peter's-Shrine
Of All Catholics

MAGNIFICENT monument OF
!" the centuries and the shrine
II the entire Catholic world is the
mammoth church, st. Peters,
within the Vatican in Rome.
II was said TO have been found
I'd by the Emperor Constantine at
he request of Pope Sylvester 1.
Il began as baSilica with a nave,
double aisleS and transept. lroni-
ally enough, it was erected on the
site OF the pagan circus OF Nero,
where St. Peter suffered martyr
dom. The first church contained
brazen SarcophaguS Of the
apostle.
The interior was SumptuouSly
decorated with gold, mosaicS and
marble. AT Christmas, in the year
800, Charlemagne received here
the Roman imperial crown from
the hands of Leo III, and nu-
merous emperors and popeS have
been crowned here since.
Time has brought many changes
In the structure, many additions.
In 1916 Michelangelo made sig
nificapt changes, especially in the
great dome, and left behind draw
ings and models for completion OF
his work. Construction has been
going on internationally since. 1t
stands today as probably the most
imposing, most beautiful church IN
the world, and among the largest.

SACRAMENT TOPIC
OF SCIENTIST BODIES

Sacrament" was the subject
of the lesson-sermon in all Chris
tan Science Churches and Socie-
ties yesterday.
The golden text was from
Corinthians $50: LET Us keep the
feast, not with old leaven, Meth:
or with the leaven of malice and
wickedness; but with the unleav-
ened bread of sincerity and
truth"
Among the citations which
comprised the lesson-sermon was
the following from the Bible:
This is my commandment, That
We love one another, as have
loved you. Greater love hath no
man than this, that a man lay
down his life for his friends. Ye
are my friends, if we do whatso-
ever | command you" John 10:
l2-24.
The lesson-sermon also includ-
ed the following passage from
the Christian Science textbook.
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy. IF Christ, Truth, has come
to US in demonstration, no other
commemoration is requisite, for
demonstration is Emmanuel, or
God with US; and if a friend be
with US, why need We memorials
of that friend? If all who ever
partook CT the sacrament had
really commemorated the suffer
ings of Jesus and drunk Of his
cup, they would have revolution
lied the world. If all who seek
his commemoration through ma
terial symbols will take up the
cross, heal the sick, cast out
evils, and preach Christ, or
Truth, to the poor-the receptive
thought-they will bring in the
millennium" (page 34).

tried an odd solution. During the
busy hours, chiefly shortly before
noon, sectors Of the network were
cut off alternatingly for 10 to 20
minutes to relieve the pressure.
Naturally, this happened unvaria-
bly, to ones own sector when an
urgent call was to be made.
EAST AND WEST MEET
This is capital where east and
west, where city and country,
meet.
Peasants in their picturesque
native costumes with their en-
broidered shirts hanging over the
trousers and their colsrfully
dressed women folk brush elegant
gentlemen and somewhat excess
sively made-up stylish ladies in
the main thoroughfares.
Hundreds of dark-Skinned young
and old bare-legged Gypsy wo-
men, who have monopoly for
selling flowers in the streets,
throughout the day, sit on the
curbs putting cigarettes and wait
Tor customers.
Incidentally, a photograph, pub
lished by an American agency,
which showed daShing guard Off
GERS with high patent leather
boots along with mare-footed
Gypsies in rags. drew the govern
ment's ire on the photographer,
because the picture was consid-
cred unfair to Rumania'S reputa-
ton as q western country.
HORSE CABS OPERATE
Horse cabs, with their driver
wearing a flat cap and dressed in
a long bolstered-uD and pleated
coat after the old-time Russian
fashion, cater to the traffic to-
gether with hundreds of new
taxis, which are Of American or
igin.
They are mainly middle-priccd
cars with the most modern acces-
series, including radio sets. A
foreigner invariably takes them
for private cars from which they
are distinguished only by a small
"Tx" on the number plates.
Rumania pays for these auto
mobiles in a roundabout manner,
because. aside from walnuts and
sheepskinS, it has littel to export
to America. The country has
favorable trade balance with
Egypt and Palestine, who, in turn,
sell more to America than they
buy from the United States.
Thus they provide Rumania the
necessary dollars to purchase
American automobiles which dom
mate the local market.

1t is King Carols ambition to

the town. Crooked and narrow
streets were Strengthened and

The only drawback, especially
