ns, of St. Peters as seen from thePincian Hill at Rome, on the great Easter festival. Won-derful, ethereal, almost celestial, appears the majesticBasilica, with its dome, when suddenly over all its linesflashes that startling, unearthly radiance, THE APPEAL OF ROMANISM. 393 It has never been noticed, so far as I have observed,that the illumination is wholly confined to that half of thedome which fronts the city.

Our almshouses and prisons and ourmunicipal offices witness to the truth of this assertion. Weare paying too much for the privilege of having Rome to smileupon us either through Papal blessing or Italian Ablegate.(395) Rev. S. H. Mitchell, (Presbyterian), Buffalo, N. Y. CHAPTER XIX. ANCIENT HERESIES IN THE CREED OF ROME. By REV. P. G. ROBERT. Perhaps nothing in the history of civilization presentsa theme for more rigid study than the religious system ofRome. Christianity is a faith of pure aud simple rites, and butfew ceremoniesâwith a limited number of revealed facts,to which the projection of individual faith is demandedââ
