The once lonely spot where now 
stands the most beautiful church im 
the world, St. Peter’s at Rome, was 
civen its merited share of attention. 
The beautiful high altar. where the 
Pope alone may say mass was shown, 
an the sculptural decorations doue 
by Angelo. 
Mr. Peck had taken’ some very 
good photographs of the Swiss guard 
at the Vatican in the costume design- 
ed by Angelo. The pictures of the 
Vatican and of the beautiful gifts to 
the Popes from various countries 
were impressive and the views of the 
Sistine chapel brought out all the 
beauty of the wonderful frescoes anc 
of the Transfiguration. 
St. Paul’s Cathedral with its white 
marble and gold was as harmonious 
as its cloisters were peaceful and 
beautiful. A particularly fine view 
of the Sacred Child was snown. The 
votive offerings that people have be- 
stowed upon the Child comprise 
jews and gold and silver of fabu- 
lous value. Rich Romans have do- 
nated a carriage for the Bambino so 
that it may be ‘taken to the bedside of 
poor and sick children. 
There were many gems among the 
pictures of Venice, ‘particularly the 
out-of-the-way nooks along the canais 
that Mr. Peck himself ferreted out 
and photographed and the moonlight 
scenes when the buildings of the old 
city, wonderfully lighted, shone in the 
night like the palaces Of fairies ain 
gondolas and their gondoliers were 
shown and the speaker told a number 
of amusing instances of mild adven- 
tures with them. 
In closing the speaker. said that it 
seemed hardly fair to leave Italy 
without a sight of the beautiful lakes 
thiat have been renowned for cen- 
turies. At the border of Switzerland 
the journey ended, almost ‘before the 
interested audience could realize that 
it had begun.
