a similar Pilgrimage under Dr. Lunn's management to Rome and other places of interest in Italy, lasting about three weeks from London back to London, or upon a still more extended tour with Jerusalem as its objective point, and with Egypt and Italy included in its itinerary-this tour occupying some six weeks from London back to London.

THE TOUR TO ROME AND ITALY.

It should be especially noted that the "Pilgrim" from America to old-world shrines need not join the English Pilgrimage in order to avail himself of the one to Rome or the one to Jerusalem. There will be three tours from London to

to the Eternal City. On all three of these tours to Rome there will be distinguished speakers and experienced travelers, whose comments will add immeasurably to the charm and value of the trip, the primary intention being to emphasize the educational aspects of the journey.

Let it be remembered that this will not be Dr. Lunn's first Pilgrimage to Rome. At Eastertime in the present year, 1893, he conducted thither in the most successful way a company of English Pilgrims. The lecturers in Rome on that occasion were the Rev. H. R. Haweis, M.A., and Professor Mahaffy, both of whom are well known in the United States and everywhere else where the English language is used. Mr. Haweis

wrote as follows concerning the Roman trip last spring:

"The whole thing was well done, and pleasantly done. Mr. Woolrych Perowne, our special conductor, took advantage of the din erhour to make announcement of plans, advertise lost property and give hints, and after delivering himself at one end of the table, he used to go to the other and da capo, so that all might hear.

Mr. Arthur Perowne, his brother, was in charge of another band. At the Scheitzerhof we were all taken in and done for together, but at Rome our one hundred and twenty or more were distributed by fifties and sixties in the Royale, Marini, Minerva a d elsewhere.

was very little ill-nature, and there were only one or two confirmed grumblers, who took their pleasure sadly in that way, in the whole company.

"And this brings me to the subject of the lectures, which is a new departure made by Dr. Lunn in connection with these tours. I was engaged to lecture on the Unification of Italy, and Professor Mahaffy on old Rome and the old Romans. It was thought by ST. PETER'S. some that the Pilgrims, after a day of sight-seeing and a good dinner, would not turn out to the Sala Dante to hear lectures. The contrary was the case. Ninety per cent. attended, and the success justified the enterprise. Of my own lectures it would not become me to speak.

I cannot conclude without a word of personal tribute to Dr. Henry Lunn. As chaplain to the Polytechnic, he

is in many ways to the fore in all good works for helping the people to instruction and elevating recreation. He has the confidence and respect of thousands of young men, whose religious interests and wide aspirations after general culture he has at heart. During these excursions he shows himself quite the general in command-the master of detail-and above all, the man of resource and prompt action. As befits a general he is always calm, and apparently (even when really most pressed) quite at leisure, with an affable word for every one, and a remarkable faculty for smoothing over difficulties. As the Grindelwald has been succeeded by the Roman Pilgrimage, so this is

to be followed by a Pil

grimage to Jerusalem and the

Holy Land, and Canon Farrar is to

take the place filled at Rome by Professor Mahaffy and myself, and to lecture the Pilgrims on the subjects of which he is acknowledged to be the greatest living master. We doubt not the eloquence and noble presence which stirred the U. S. A. to its depths when Canon Farrar lectured there on Dante and Browning, will not fail to impress the nineteenth-century Pilgrims and draw the Pilgrims closer in heart to the Holy Land and the springs of the Christian religion and its divine Central Figure."

If then the plans for this February party to Rome do not seem attractive, it is because we have somehow failed to do them justice in our brief statement of the case. We can recommend them not only with heartiness, but with enthusiasm. It is difficult to give the tour according to the days of the week when three tours are arranged in this fashion, but any one wishing to start on any one of the three given dates can calculate their tour with the aid of a calendar.

NAPLES AND VESUVIUS.

and through scenery almost unsurpassed for grandeur and beauty. Milan will be reached at 7.32 P. M., and dinner and first-class accommodation will be arranged for in the Hotels Continental and De la Ville, the best in the city.

FOURTH DAY.-The day will be spent in seeing Milan, "la Grande," the capital of Lombardy, near the Ticino; the ancient Mediolanum. The party will leave Milan at 8.30 P.M.

FIFTH DAY.-Arrive in Rome at 10 A.M Hotel accommodation will be provided for ten days in Rome at the following hotels (the names are given in alphabetical order): Anglo-American Hotel, Hotel Marini, Hotel Minerva, Hotel Royale, and Hotel Russie. The first party will have the privilege of hearing Archdeacon Farrar lecture on Monday, February 12, Tuesday, February 13, and Wednesday, February 14. At the conclusion of the ten days in Rome members of the party can prolong their stay in Rome, visit any other part of Italy, or break the journey at any of the principal towns on their return, at their own expense, within a period of forty-five days from leaving London. Those who return in the direct conducted party will travel as follows:

FIFTEENTH DAY.-Leave Rome at 9 A.M, arriving at Florence 2.30 P.M., dining and staying at the Hotels Cavour, Minerva and Milano.

SIXTEENTH DAY will be spent in seeing Florence. SEVENTEENTH DAY.-Arriving at Bâle at 7.57 P.M. Dinner, bed, breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided. This is giving an opportunity of thoroughly seeing this interesting city. EIGHTEENTH DAY.-The party will leave Bâle after dinner at 9.11 P.M., arriving in London on the nineteenth day at 5 P.M.

Special arrangements have been made for additions to and variations from the main itinerary. Thus an exten

sion to Venice, one to Naples and Pompeii, and one to the Italian Lakes have been specifically planned, each involving for all expenses of railway fare, hotels, etc., an added cost of fifteen or twenty dollars. All the Lunn tours are made sufficiently flexible so that the traveler may not feel himself unduly hampered or too rigidly held to a plan, and may suffer no loss of money through changes of route.

THE JERUSALEM PILGRIMAGE.

The American to whom this plan of co-operative educational travel is attractive, and who proposes to join the Pilgrims, may well think seriously of trying to go all the way-that is, of including the Oriental as well as the Italian tour. This is Dr. Lunn's own statement, in general, of the plan of this inviting journey: "We have organized a tour to Egypt, Palestine, Greece and Italy, which will differ toto coelo from any tour which has yet been attempted. Lectures will be given at different points by the most eminent scholars of the day. Canon Tristram, whose Oriental notes are so well known to readers of the Sunday School Times, will lecture in Palestine, and Professor Mahaffy, author of 'Social Life in Greece,' the versatile and brilliant Professor of Ancient His tory in the University of Dublin, will lecture in the Land of the Pharaohs and describe the antiquities of Athens and Corinth, and there will be sermons by the Bishop of Worcester and others."

Dr. Lunn, for the benefit of REVIEW OF REVIEWS readers, makes the following summarized statement:

I believe it was Mr. Stead himself who suggested the idea of a Reunion Pilgrimage to Jerusalem as a logical outcome of Grindelwald. I am glad to say that this Pilgrimage will leave England on February the 6th, accompanied by Mr. Woolrych Perowne (the son of the Bishop of Worcester), who will have charge of the Pilgrimage.

The journey by sea will be taken on the S. S. "St. Sunniva" (one of the most famous of the Norwegian passenger steamers). This vessel is fitted with every comfort and accommodation, and all may rely upon this part of the tour being as good as the hotels with which Mr. Perowne has arranged, and it is impossible to say more than that.

The itenerary will be as follows:

FIRST WEEK.-Tuesday, leave London and Dover for Lucerne. Wednesday, at Lucerne. Thursday, over the St. Gothard to Milan. Friday, at Milan. Saturday, Sunday and Monday in Rome.

CORINTH.

SECOND WEEK.-Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, in Naples. Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, through the Mediterranean to Alexandria.

THIRD WEEK.-Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, at Cairo, visiting the Pyramids of Ghizeh, the Obelisk of Heliopolis. Saturday, by train to Alexandria, embarking for Jaffa. Sunday, arrive at Jaffa. Monday, arrive at Jerusalem.

FOUTH WEEK -Tuesday, Bethlehem and over the hills of the Wilderness of Judea, encamping in Kedron Valley. Wednesday, Jericho, encamping for the Jordan. Thursday, Bethany and the Mount of Olives. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, at Jerusalem. Monday, return to Jaffa and embark.

FIFTH WEEK.-Tuesday and Wednesday, crossing the Mediterranean. Thursday, arrive at the Piræus and drive to Athens. Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Athens, including a visit by railway to Corinth. Monday, leave the Piræus by steamer for Naples.

SIXTH WEEK.-Tuesday and Wednesday, on the Mediterranean. Thursday, arrive at Naples. Friday, arrive at Florence. Saturday and Sunday, in Florence. Monday, leave Florence for Venice.

SEVENTH WEEK.-Tuesday, leave Venice for Lucerne, returning home direct or staying in Lucerne if desired.

This opportunity to visit Palestine is one that ought to appeal almost irresistibly to American ministers, college professors, Sunday school superintendents, and others who would value the special educational opportunities and social advantages of a journey in such excellent company. The summary of the itinerary as quoted above is of necessity very condensed. It should be explained that full arrangements have been made to take such of the Pilgrims as may desire by the longer inland journey northward through Samaria and Galilee to Damascus, thence to the coast at Beyrout, and then homewards by way of Smyrna, Athens, Constantinople, and so on. These deviations from the main course of the Pilgrimage will involve additional expense, but upon a reasonable scale such as the individual traveler could not well secure for himself.

In conclusion, American readers who may feel some impulse to join one of these Pilgrimages may be interested in knowing that Bishop Vincent, the founder and head of the Chautauquan movement, stands as an American sponsor for the plan, and that the Chautauqua management in the United States is in hearty sympathy and co-operation. Dr. Lunn is the wellknown editor of the Review of the Churches, is the
