For your ocean voyage the ships of three world famous lines have been selected; i.e., The Cunard Line, The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company and The Fabre Line. A few short years ago, the luxuries of the ships of these famous lines would have been considered fantastic dreams, but today they are realities. The world famous Cunard Line is known to everyone— all over the world. The famous red funnel with its black smoke cap has been the mark of leadership on the seas since the days of sailing craft. On our pilgrimages we use the three outstanding ships of this famous fleet—the Aquitania, the Mauretania, and the Berengaria—and nowhere in the world are there finer ships manned by better crews. The Fabre Line, on which many pilgrim ages are made direct from New York to able service which is so characteristic of the French. We use three Fabre Line ships; i.e., the S. S. Providence, the S. S.

In the Mediterranean many of the parties will know the luxury of world traveling on the famous ships of the P. & O., as the Penin sular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com pany is known. A British line sailing from English ports to both Australia and India, every ship is the carrier of adventure and romance.
