ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHURCHES IN THE KREMLIN AT MOSCOW 



The chief interest of Moscow is centered in tlie Kremlin, both for its historical associa- 

 tions and for its churches with their semibarbaric splendor and curious architecture. In one 

 of these churches all the Russian monarchs since Ivan IV have been crowned, in another they 

 have been buried. The dusky interiors are adorned with numerous icons of great antiquity, 

 covered with gems and precious metals. The great Russian Church has reformed and liberal- 

 ized itself since the Revolution without losing its fervent religious faith and sense of national 

 solidarity
