ANOTHER INTERIOR VIEW OE THE CATHEDRAL OE ST. MARK 



"On the parapet which divides the choir from the nave stand figures of the apostles in 

 hlack and bronze, and above the. high altar, where the bones of St. Mark repose, rises a 

 baldaquin upon twisted columns. How wondrous is the effect of the whole when the sun- 

 shine streams through the windows; when we seem to realize the fervor of all the past 

 generations who have knelt here in praj^er and praise — offering them up with different minds 

 from ours of today, but with hearts so like our hearts!"- — SxiEtER.
