In Pompeii, the ruins of an ancient Roman city had been preserved through the centuries by the very force that had destroyed the town itself. Homes and shops and marketplaces stood as they had in the days when Caesar ruled. We could climb through and over the walls around which the drama of empire was played, and could almost hear the rush of high-wheeled chariots as centurions cast off the cares of war. Sorrento itself was anticlimactic after the ride that took us there, along the famed Amalfi Drive. This road, carved out of the hill- side, runs for miles in twisting curves along the edge of'the Mediterranean, high above the blue of the water. Vesuvius stood across the Bay and Naples lay quietly below, tiny in the sun-swept distance. Late autumn is an off season for Capri. The crowds of pleasure-seekers that visit its shores each year were largely gone. But the beautiful Blue Grotto, a cave in the hillside in which the water is mysteriously illumined from below, knows no season. For a day we too cast off our cares, and soaked in the pleasures of the Mediterranean, x ' 1 . .-X F 'rf M, f'x POMPEII 11 L l e J

gun-r Q, X.. SERVICES ON THE FANTAILf RELIGION Religion is the relation of the creature to his creator, of the subject to his sovereign, of man to his Cod. In that relationship man turns with outstretched arms, seeking to clasp the hand reached down from on high. He opens his lips to a listening ear. He pours out the love of his heart to a heart which reeiprocates with an overwhelming love. Those who train their ears lo catch the answering echoes from the mind and heart of Cod hear a message which carries courage and inspiration, and feel a love which fills them with a rapture which transcends all the pleasures of earth and sense. It is this union of the soul with God in perfect love which constitutes the end of all religious striving. A union which is approximated in this life by high moral perfection, and which is achieved in the next life by the soul which experiences a joy which no tongue can describe. Eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man what things Cod hath prepared for them that love him. UGOD AND THE Q S r K MASS WITH CIIAPLAIN OUELETTE
