stood a grand Phars of civilization
and religion amid the wreck of em
pires and dark storms of nations,
creeds and states. Imagination rolled
back the wheels of time. The old
worn bell that hangs in the western
tower regained its voice and sent out
a sweet musical call to prayers. The
arches and domes reverberated with
anthems chanted in the grand old
Latin tongue by Spanish knights and
cavaliers, soldiers, clad in glistening
armor, walked up the aysles or
knelt in prayer. Indian converts
flocked to the chancel rail, when the
gorgeously attired priest, veiled in
perfumed smoke from waving censer,
gave them his benediction; while
outside, neighing steed and clanging
armor and the high flagstafs from
which floated the proud banner of
Castile and Leon, formed with the
church a picture of war-like con-
quest and religious devotion, which
baffled the animus of the warrior
saints of those days. As we,wander-
ed around, stepping off the length
and breadth and measuring with one
eye the height of this noble fortified
Church and Abbey, we became lost
