THE ACROPOLIS. Dr. Talmaffo Descrlboe His Visit to Atbona. The Crest Market riare and thi ArropotU Described Tbt -ntlon Taut Crt4 a Mars If til LrMont Drawn From tha History of A thvnv Rev. T. Do Witt Talmage in his sixth sermon on Bible lands, recently preached at Brooklyn, took his text from Acts, xvii. 1C: "While Paul waited for them at Athens his spirit was stirred injilai when he saw the city wholly given up to idolatry." Dr. Talraago said: It seemed as if morning would nerer come. We had arrived after dark in Athens, Greece, and the night was sleepless with expectation, and at tho first ray of dawn. I called to our party to look out of tho window upon that city to which Paul said he was a debtor, and to which the whole earth is debtor for Greek architecture, Greek sculpture, Greek poetry, Greek eloquence, Greek prowess and Greek history. That morn ing in Athens we sauntered forth armed with most generous and lovely letters from the president of the Fnited States and his secretary of taU and during all our tay in that city those letters caused every door and crory gate and every temple and every palace to swing open before us. The might iest geographical name on earth to-day is America. The signature of an Amer ican president and secretary of ntate will take a man where an arni3' could not Those names brought us into the presence of a most gracious and beauti ful sovereign, the queen of Greece, avdl her cordiality was more like tbaVo! a sister than the occupant of ar throne room. jf But this morning wo,pas through where stood the Agra, tho aucient market place, th&yfocality where phil osophers used o meet their disciples, walking while they talked, and where Paul, tbef Christian logician, flung manj" proud Stoic, and got the laugh on many an impertinent epicurean. j.ae market place was the center of social and political life, and it was the place where people went to tell and hear the news. Booths and bazars were set up for merchandise of all kinds, except meat but everything must be sold for cash, and there must be no lying about the value of com modities, and tho Agoranomi who ruled tho place could inflict sovero punishment upon offenders. The dif ferent schools of thinkers had distinct places set apart for convocation. The market place was a space .150 yards long and 250 wide, and it was given up to gossip and merchandise and loung ing and philosophizing. All this you need to know in order to understand the Bible when it says or Paul, "There fore disputed he in tho market daily with them who met him." You see it was the best place to get an audience, and if a man feels himself called to preach he wants people to preach to. The marble and gilding have been re moved, but tho high mounds against .which the scats wero piled are still there. The Stadium is 0S0 feet long, 180 feet wido and held 40,000 spectators.'

But It was chiefly for footracing, so I proposed to my friend tt&tday while we were in the Stadium that we try which of us could run the sooner from end to end of this histori cal ground. and so at the word given by the lookerson wo started side by side, but before I got through I found out what Paul meant when he compares the spiritual race with the race in this very Stadium, as he says: "Lay aside every weight" My heavy overcoat and 1113 friend's freedom from such Incumbrance showed tho advantage In any kind of a race of "laying asido every weight" We como now t3 tho Acropolis. It is a rock about two miles in circumfer ence at the base and 1,003 feet in cir cumference at tho top a nd 300 feet high. On it has been crowded mire elaborate architecture and sculpture than In any other place under tho whole heavens Originally a fortress, afterward a con gregation of temples and statues and pillars, their ruins an enchantment from which no observer ever breaks awsy. No wonder that Aristidcs thought it the center of all things Greece, tho center of the world; Attica, the center of Greece: Athens, the cen ter of Attica, and the Acropolis the center of Athens. Earthquakes have shaken it; Vcrres plundered it. Lord Elgin, the English ambassabor at Constantinople, got per mission of the sultan to remove from the Acropolis fallen piccesof the build ing, and ho took from the building to England the finest statues, removing them at an expense of SS00.OO0, A storm overthrew many of the statues of the Acropolis. Morosini, the general, attempted to remove from a pediment the sculptured car and horses of Vic tory, but tho clumsy machinery dropped and all was lost The Turks turned the building iito a powder magazine where the Venetian guns dropped a fire that by explosion sent the columns flyiug in the air and fall ing cracked and splintered. But after all that time and storm and war and iconoclasm have effected, the Acropolis is the monarch of all ruins, and bjfore it bow the learning, the genius, the poetry, the art, the history of the ages. I saw it as it was thousands of years ago.

No wonder that Prctontus saul It was exsicr to find a god than a man in Athens. (. the AcropolU' The most of itn temples and .statues made from the marble quarries of Mount iVnteUcum, a little way from the city. The Acrupv lis in the morning light of those an cients must have shone as though it worn an nerolito cast o'.X from the noonday sun. The temples must have looked like petrified foam. Tho whole AcropolU um.st have seemed like the white breakers on the great ocean of Uswcv But wc cannot stop longer here, for there U a hill near by of more Intere, though It has not one chip of marble to suggest a Matu? or a tetn'e. We hasten dowa tho Acropolis to u.cond tho Areopagus, or Mars hill, as it Is called. It took only n!out threo min utes to walk the dUtance, and the two hill tops are 10 bw Hint what I .said In religious discourse on .Mars hill wiv heard distinctly by some Kng'dsh gen tlemen on tho Acropolk. This Mars hill is a rough pile of rock fifty feet higii. It was famous long beforo New Testament times. Tho Persians easily and terribly assaulted the Acropolis from this hill top. Here assembled tho court to try criminals. It was held in the night time so that tho faces of the judges could not bo seen, nor tho faces of tho lawyers who made tho plea, and so, instead of trial being one of emotion, it must have been ono of cool justice. But there was ono occasion on this hill memorable abov all others. A little man, physically weak, and hU rhetoric uescrllvd by himself as contemptible, h by his sermons rocked Athens Vith commo tion, and ho was Miiiureoned either by writ of law or hartf Invitation to como upon that pulpit of rock uud give a specimen of his theology All the wiseacre. rT Athens turned out and turned ni to hear him. Tho mure venerable of them sat in on nmphi thPUtcr, tho granite ieat of which f re still visible. "t -- tlcr peopio swarmed on nil sides of tho hill and nt tho baso of it to henr this man, whom Mune called a fanatic, and others called a madcap, aud others a blasphemer, and others styled contemptuously "this fellow," Paul arrived in answer to tho writ or invitation and confronted them nnd gave them the biggest die, that mor tals ever took. What I have so far said in this discourse was neeeixary in order that you may understand the lo!dness, the defiance, the Icily reek'essnev, the magnificence of Paul's speecli. The first thunderbolt he launched at the opposite hill tho Acropolis -that mo ment all aglitter with id ds aud temples. Ho cries out "tod who made the world." Why they thought that Prometheus made it that Mercury made It, that Apllo made It that Poseidon made it that Knn made it that Pandrociis made it that Boreas made it that it took all the gods of the Parthenon, yea, all the gods and god desses of the AcrojHilis to make it nn 1 here .stands a man without nnr ecc!sl n.stieal title, declaring that the world was made by the Ixird of Heaven and earth, and henco the Inference that all tho splendid covering of the Acropolis, so near that the people standing on the steps of the Parthenon eould hear It wa.s a deceit a falsehood, a sham, a blastphcrny. Look nt the fa-es of his auditors; they a c turning pale, and then red, and th-n wrathful. There had been several earthquakes In that region; but that was the severest shock these men had ever felt Oh. Paul, stop for a moment and give thev startled and overwhrirned audi tors time to catch their breath! Slake a rhetorical pause! Take a look around you at the Interesting landscape, and give your hearers time to recover' No. he docs not make even a period, or so much as a colon or semi-colon, but launches a second thunderbdt right after the first, and in the same breath goes on to say: G.- 1 "dwelleth not In temples made with hands." Oh Pan'! Is not Deity more In the Parthenon, or more In the Erechthcium. or more in the temple of Zeus Olympins than In the open air. more than on the hdl where wc are sitting, more than on Mount Hymettus out yonder, from which the bees get thrir hoay "No more!" responds Panl. "He dwcllrth not in temples made with hands." But surely the preacher on the pulpit of rock on Mars hid will stop novr His audience can endnre no more. Two thunderbolt are enough. No, in the same breath he launches the third thunderbolt which to them l more fiery, more terrible, more demolishing than the others, as he cries oat "Hath made of one blood all aitlin ' O. Paul! you forget that you arc speaking to the prsudest and most exclusive audience in the world. Do not r "of one blood."
