enchanting to us, tilled .is they
were with scenes depicting past
events in Swiss history. There
were gorgeous roses and geran
iums blooming everywhere,
making a riot of color. We all
quite lost our hearts to the
beauty of Switzerland. The
next day we left for Interlaken,
going over hairpin curves,
switchbacks 'and the like, by
Furka Pass, stopping for lunch
at a lovely Swiss chalet where
wine was much more plentiful
than water. On our return trip
we walked through the immense
blue-white Rhone Glacier, going
through the Grotto entrance, all
of which was quite interesting
and awe-inspiring.
We were on board our Swiss
airplane about an hour and
then landed near the city of
Faris. That night some of us
lud a long boat ride qn the
River Seine, seeing so many of
the famous places, such as Noire
Dame and the Eiffel Tower
brilliantly spotlighted. The next
day we visited the Louvre which
is a huge building built in a
quadrangle shape with lovely
gardens, holding so many art
treasures. Among the most fa
mous we saw were the Mona
Lisa, painted by Da Vinci, 1501-
1505; the Winged Victory, a
marble statue found in a Greek
island; Venus de Milo and a
huge painting, Napoleon Crown
ing Josephine. The Louvre ‘is |
being scrubbed to a lovely cream |
color, a decided contract to the
drab smoke color it was before.
This was the first time it has
been cleaned in 300 years.
We were enchanted at lovely
Versailles Palace. 18 miles from
Paris. We saw the table in the'
beautiful Hall of Mirrors where'
the peace treaty was signed fol-!
lowing World War I. There
were gorgeous gardens, lakes
and statuary. There arc stables |
(or 2,500 horses and carriages
across from the entrance to the
palace. These were rsei dur
ing the reigns of the emperors.!
In London we visited John
Wesley’s Chapel which has a
statue of him out front. This|
visit was byway of being al-!
most a pilgrimage tour fnrj
most of us Methodists, as John
Wesley was the founder of
Methodism. We visited his home

which is still kept as it was
when he was living there. An
inscription said: “The World Is
My Parish.” We saw huge St.
Paul Cathedral where Wesley
jhad attended services. Then
down the strfeet at Aldersgdte
he joined a small group meeting
ot Moravians and felt “his heart
strangely wanned.” It was af
ter this experience that he be- ]
gan preaching. He was given
credit for so chjllfging England |
that the bloody revolution of
France was averted there.
We visited the Tower of Lon-
I don built by William the Corr
i queror in 1099, London Bridge
across the Thames River and
| saw the changing of the guards
'lit Buckingham Palace. British
weather is notably foggy and
cloudy but we had lovely weath
er. They say that it takes only
three or four sunny days to
make a summer for them. We'
saw immense Westminister Ab
bey where the ruling kings and
queens of England are crowned;
also Big Ben, Parliament House
and 10 iDow.ning Street. That
night we saw a very quaint
stage play, “Oliver,” by Lionel
Bart and adapted from “•Oliver
Twist."
Our next day was spent in
Shakespeare’s country, Stratford
on Avon. On our way there by
motor coach, we visited famous
Oxford University and some of
the colleges. We passed Blen
heim, Churchill's home, all tow
ers and turrets. The grounds
are all walled in. After visiting
Stratford, Shakespear’s home,
we went to the home of his
wife. Anne Hathaway. This has
a thatched roof and a yard full
of old fashioned flowers. Every
room in the house is on a differ
ent level. On our way back to
London we had a huge tea con
sisting of buttered bread, jam,
baobury tarts, tiny decorated
cakes and, of course, being in
England, the ever-present tea.
This lovely meal was served at
an inn in Banbury, where the
famous Bnnbury tarts originated.
Cur luck of lovely weather
broke on our last day in Eng
land. We had hoped for a few
hours of shopping before we left
but a heavy downpour of rain
pul an end to that. We left .

by TWA jet for a seven hour
flight to New York. While
cruising at’ 35,000 feet altitude,
we watched a Rock Hudson
movie on our way home. After
leaching Idlewild Airport we
had to circle the field about 45
minutes due to so much air
traffic before _w'e could get

It was Augustine who said;
“The world is one great book
but they who never stir from
home read only one page.” We
feel that we have read another
page in this great book, but we
will not be satisfied until we
have read more.
