But there is a sanctuary in Vilna more honored. Above the old town gate near the railway station there is a chapel which possesses an image of the Virgin far-famed for miracles. You may see the street below full of ranks of worshipers kneeling and crouching in prayer. Catholics of the Latin and of the Greek church unito in their faith in the Virgin of the Ostra Brama chapel. /Vilna is the headquarters of the governor general of the Lithuanian provinces and of an army corps. It is an important educational center. It has a large trade in timber and grain. At the present time its population may be estimated at 209,000 people. But its chief importance is neither administrative nor commercial. It stands at the junction of the railways from Berlin and Warsaw to Petrograd, that is, it is one of the greatest centers of communication in Russia. From tho German frontier it is 120 miles distant, from Petrograd more than 400. From Warsaw it is 257 miles. But these railways, though tho most important, are not the only lines which converge on Vilna. It is connected by a line running southeast, through Minsk, with Kielf and the great resources of southern Russia, while yet another branch r 1 ' < mi a due south with tin ’ : r '. ;o’ B :■ Litovsk and t ie t Rovno.
