The Commoner
VOLUMH 11,-tNUMBBEJ

with, from Kldpath's History, depicts 87,000 people assembled in the Coliseum at Rome to witness' Christians given to lions. In such a, scene
may bo read the inevitable doom of tho Empire that ruled the world. The blood of Martyrs is the seed from which Christian civilization sprang.
If you would know tho history of mankind every sacrifice for principle, every struggle for liberty, every conflict and every achievement, from the
dawn of civilization down to tho present time then embrace this splendid opportunity to place in your homo the world-famed publication,
