thereafter have been aid to rest in those rockhewn and rudely sculptured mausoleums Here were carried the Mangled re mains or what was left of them of multitudes of the victims of the dread persecution of those savage Roman who in their vain efforts to exterminate Christianity immolated ten thousands of noble and valorous men women and children in the terrible arena where midst shouts of The Christians to the lions they were slaughtered wholesale by ravenous wild beasts or by fire or by blood thirsty gladiators or by nameless tortures too dreadful to describe And as we explore these cold dark galleries and decipher the old Latin inscriptions or reverentially at I he bones of a brave young martyr girl slain by a wolfhound rather art recant from her faith or perhaps of an honoured patriarch whose skull is cleft almost in twain by sword of a Roman soldier or executioner we are vividly of that terrible epoch so signalized by exhibitions of cruelty surpassing that even of the Inquisition and by those displays magnificent fortitude and fearless intrepidity in the presence of the most awful forms of death which so charac terized that noble army of mar tyrs whose sainted remains now surround us After passing a numbei of pa gan inscriptions which frequent ly give vent to a spirit of defiance to their gods for snatching a wife or a son or a daughter from them we reach 1

extensive cavern hewn out of the rock Here those early Christians who were forbidden to gather together for the purpose of worship were wont to assemble in spite of that prohibition And perhaps this very cavern which we arc now in specting wus one of those into which as happened from time to time a number of Roman soldiers had rushed ruthlessly slaughter ing in cold blood all those devout worshippers But nothing daunted those first Christians the most fiery perse cutions the cruellest of tortures the most agonizing forms of death- failed to turn them from their holy faith For they knew
