By ANTONIO RUIZ

PERU - The Church and Con-
vent OF La MERGED, located near
the Plaza de Armas, is the oldest
religious Institution in Cuzco. 1t
was founded in 1884 by Fray Sc
baStian Trujillo, who arrived with
the first group, or vanguard, of
Spanish Conquistadores. Since the
"Mercedarios" or Fathers of Mer-
cy, accepted the hardships of the
common soldier, they were the
favorite monks of Francisco Pizar,/
70, as we'll as of Diego de Alma
gro, Francisco Pizarro, after the
founding of Cuzco, gave them a
large plot of land on which the
convent was built. Later, one of
the Incas, Tito Yupanqui, donat-
ed the vast Hacienda Korimarca,
which they still possess and from
which they draw their revenues.
There is no description of the
first church of the "Mercedarios,"
which was totally destroyed in 16-
so. The. present church, erected at
the end of the 18th century, is the
most original in Cuzco. Although
is basic style is baroque, it has
many decorative elements which
reflect indigenous culture, for the
designers of the facades were In
dian craftsmen. The great cloisters
within the Convent r erected in
the style of the Renaissance, en-
bodying an austere classiciSm, a
fundamental characteristic of the
period. The ceilings, carved and
heavily gilded, are excellent e
amples of the wood-carvers' there
are beautiful paintings, the work
of Juan Osorio, an 18th century
mestizo artist. They depict the
tomb, travels and ~sufferings of
San Pedro Nolasco, founder and
patron saint of the M~ercedarios.
Many other valuable canvases can
be found throughout the church
and the cloisters.
The real treasure of the church,
however, is the beautiful gold
m0nstrance, more valuable than
all the paintings, more artistic
than the large canvas showing the
Coronation of the Virgin, for
which La MERGED is famed. The
work of Juan de Olmos, who made
it twenty-five years after the
church was built, this wonderful
piece of gold-smithery was made
in the tradition of the great Ben
venuto Cellini. Its beauty is be-
yond description and it is orna-
mented with large pearls, selected
and placed in such a way that
they appear as nude sirens. The
whole gigantic jewel is encrusted
with thousands of diamonds, anne
thysts, emeralds, and rubies, max
ing it one of the most valuable
pieces of jewelry in the world.
The remains of Diego de Alma
gro, partner of Pizarro in the con-
quest of PERU, are kept under the
ancient stones of the main chapel.
After Pizarro and Almagro broke,
mostly over the division of the
spoils in Cuzco, Diego de Alma
gro's forces we're defeated, and he
was put to death by the Pizarros.
He was followed to the crypt by
his son, whose faction assassinated
Francisco Pizarro in Lima. Later,
in 1548, they were Joined in death
by the headless body Of Gonzalo
Pizarro.
Defeated by the forces Of the
Viceroy near Lima, Gonzalo piza-
rro was tried, sentenced and be-
headed in the Plaza de Armas. His
head was carried to Lima on a
pike, but his boy, respecting his
last wish, was buried in the crypt
of the Fathers OF Mercy In Cuz-

voting age expect maintain what has already been gained
politically, voting must be done Your vote means some
thing to YOU to your community state and nation Your
vote brings YOU into direct political contact with public
elected officials And every individual expects to be
represented in group with political regard which IS great

he must register and vote in ali nominations and elections
Ones individual vote is his political contribution to the
making of good government And for to register and
vote exercising OF restraint in political illegal activity
brings each group of voters closer in collective ctzenry
and is also of the connecting lines OF effective results
when attempting to impress others of political and economic
rights
II is very important for each individual to prove his
quality of good citizenship by action at the polls rather
than much chatter in public places concerning what is
happening in politics.
The value of good citizenship is always appreciated and
