At one point he said at a certain hour the brethren were probably in the arms of Morpheus, but that he would explain that Morpheus was a character in Mythology so as to calm the wives of the breth- Sunday Afternoon. San Antonio has impressed me. This morning I started out for church. I met two little girls and a little boy on their way to the Episcopal Church school. I left them and went on to the First Baptist Church Sunday School. It was quite vast. The church has nine thousand members and is built on spacious lines. ren. ./•/i The organist played the organ wdth such sweet grace and skill * sr that the music seemed to drip of her fingers. I thanked her and the pastor. The whole atmosphere was one of quiet, comradely intimacy and the Congregation sang, though choir must have numbered av least 60. The Director faced the; congregation, leaving the choir to the persuasive leadership of the lovely organist. Coming back from the Baptist Church I went into the Episcopal Church (St. Marks.) A lady there told me that the church ope*ates a nursery (175 children) from 6 AM to 6 PM for working mothers and that the nursery now is self- sustaining. In the yard of St. Marks—at the entrance is a tablet of grate ful remembrance to General Ro bert E. Lee, who had part in the building of the church, about 1853 as I recall. General Lee—then a Colonel, I think, was a Cavalry Officer of the U. S. Army before the Civil; War and was stationed in or near San Antonio. That, you recall, was not long after the Mexican War. There are so many Mexicans here that I spoke Spanish most of the time. My guide in the Baptist Church called a Mr. Sanders time after time. I thought of Rip and Alex, though they would have responded promptly.

The religioiw observance how ever, is quite similar to ours, with home and church decorations centered around a “presepio”—a representation in miniature of the holy nativity of Christ A pro cession of priests, in full ecclasti- cal regalia, lead the way to the cathedrals for midnight mass.
