paper that their factory will be
thrown open to. the public on Friday
Afternoon and Evening next, January
'23rd.
A great deal of curiosity has been
shown. by the general public, in rela-
tion to the operations' of this new lo -
.cal industry but: due, tie, the busy
Christmas season- and the fact that a
large portion of the Company's new

chances,

this work is completed and the rush is
over for the time being, the Directors
have arranged •for the above mention-
ed date,' and are pleased to invite any
who feel interested in the Town and

where' ever she went she was loved
and revered for her splendid attitude
towards life and her willingness to
give virtually all she .possessed for the
work of the Lord. She was a great
factor in the success which attended
her husbands labors and in many
ways she assisted hint in his work.

VISIT ROME.
,Another interesting letter was re-
ceived -during the week by 'Mrs. Al-
bert Rivers from her son, Mr. F. S.
Rivers and wife, this letter coming
from Rome.
Hotel Pensione California
43 Via, Aurora
Roma
Dee, 2.9,: 1930.
Dear Folks,—
We seem to have 'travelled a long
wayalready, and we are onlyabout
e Y,
half -sway on our trip. Now we are in
the ancient city of Rome.
It looks huge' and modern, but
there are old parts, The only wondt-
enful building we have seem, as this
is our first day here, is St, Peter's
Church, the most wonderful of its
kind in the world. In front is a huge
circle, or "piazza," surrounded by 284
columns, with '162 statues each twelve
feet high, on the top 01 them. In this
piazza, on the spot where the apostle
Peter was beheaded,. is an obelisk, a
statue brought ' from Egypt. The
church is built in ineanory of St. Pe-
ter, -end in it is a huge tomb, his
grave, surrounded' by 95 bronze
lamps lit day .and eight over it; sup-
ported by Four coiunees of bronze 95
feet high, is a canopy of ,bronze.
The. church is 630 feet long and we
walked and walked and saw the forty-
five altars down the aides, and. the
huge paintings by Raphael and stat:
wary by Michael Angelo, and • still
only saw a part of the inside,
Next day, Dec. 30.
.Near the church is . the Vatican
Palace, in part of which the . Pope
lives. The rest is porfrait galleries
of the greatest art in. the world, stat-
uary dating back to fifth century, be-
fore Christ, the Sistine 'Chapel, all
the wall and ceiling painted in mus
by Angelo, and 1115000 rooms 200
staircases. From the North Ameri-
can Roman -College, we four got per-
mission to see the Pope today. at
12.30.. 'W'e were instructed to have
veils and two Sisters in the cloak
roon.as•ked u's to .pat on our hus-
bands overcoats, as our coats were
too short.
We walked up flights and flights of
broad marble staircases in the Vati-
can, past'Swiss guarcds in yellow and
red striped uniforms, wide hats and
carrying spears. In• the audience
chamber were hundreds sitting around
the wails, all the women with black
veils over their hair. An official ie
red velvet knelt when he heard the
,arrival and everyone knelt down.
First"cate a guard in blue with a
gold helmet, then the Pope, all in
creo m robes, surroaixded by 'Cardin-
als in red" robes. 'Hewalked down
the rows of people with his hand ou•t-
tretched,-and each kissed the large
ring on the hand, we among then.
He is a very venerable, fine-looking
roan, Pius YII. Not a word was spok-
en till he was finished, then he gave
a benediction. in Latin, the Roman
Catholics and he crossed themselves
and he went out. Then we left. It
was something we had not expected
to witness, and found out that we
could through. an American lady who
told us how.
The trip along. the Mediterranean,
the Riviera, was the, loveliest of all.
The deep blue water and sky, red
cliffs,' houses of pink, yellow and
green, with red roofs and everywhere
flowers, palm trees, olive trees, sun-
shine and orange' trees, high moun-
tains behind, made the loveliest trip
for. the two days 'before we reached
Italy. It is cooler here, hut sunny,
with plenty of flowers.
Genoa was interesting. •There was
Christopher Columbus' statue, and
the. little old house where he lived.
The Royal Palace, and ,an. old cathed-
ral were beautiful, too. In the cath-
edral, at one side, was a chapel to St.
John the Baptist. Part of his coffin
Was there and a statue of him.
Ar Pisa the things of interest were
all together. The leaning tower, 174
feet high, with a lean of fourteen
feet. There are 294 steps inside and,
Prof, Alexander climbed all the way
up and waved down at us. He said
there is a huge carillon of bells in-
side. The cathedralbeside it is very
ancient too, and another chapel neer
called the Baptistry, where the babies
of Pisa are baiptised. It is built with
a high dome inside, aunt. a guide sang
a note to show us the' echo, Then he
sang another note of the chord, then
another, all blending in the echo till
it sounded just lilce a pipe organ.
Near this was an old cemetery en-
closed by a walk The earth was
brought. to Pisa in 53 ships from
Palestine centuries ago. There are
statues and busts and tombs there,
brougihlt from Egypt, ;Greece and Jer-
usale'm. Our hotel was near the old
river Arno, up which galley ships and
warships used to sail. Pisa dates
back to six centuries before Christ.
It looks so old. The food is real. Ita-
lian highly seasoned food. Here in
Rome at the.Pensione California, we
get American food. ' Everyday ,we
have oranges fresh from the trees.
Below our window is a tree, of ,lemons,'
The imh'forms of soldiers and offic-
ials take our eye. There is much mil-
itarism in evidence everywhere. Some
soldiers Wear olive green suits, capes,
and hats with a feather. Officers wear
navy suits, long navy capes lined. with
red, Napoleon hats, and white gloves.
These capes, swinging along, are
seen' everywhere, Aird we see ;Mus-
solini's face on wails, in stations, ev-
erywhere..
Next we
go to Florence, then- Mil-
.an, Lucerne, Strasbourg (now ,owned
by. France), Cologne and Brussels.'
I' forgot to say we saw Monte Car-
lo at night, the best' sight .yet, , the
;Casino lite a palace, We got in and
watched the"gambling" all evening
