Oh, Paul! you forget you are spr,iking to the proudest and most exclusive audience in the world. Do notsay "of one blood." You cannot mean that. Had Socrates and Plato and Demo thenes and Solon ;4nd Lycorgus and Drilco and Sophocles ; id Euripides and A viylus and Peri c.es and Phidias and liltiades bloo just like the 1 ersians, lil n the Turki, like the Egyptians, )ike the common herd of hinnauity? "Yes," says Paul, "of one blood all nations." Surely that must be the closing para graph of the sermon. ills auditors must let up from Ohe nervous strain. Paul has smashed the A:-ropolis and smashed the natioial pride oi t he ureeks, and what more cani he s;lv Those Grecian orators, standing on that place, always closed their address:s with something sublime and cliwac tric-a peroratiou-atid Paul is going to give them a peroration which will eclipse in power and inagesty all that lie has yet said. ieretofore lie has hurl ed one thunderbolt at a time; now lie will close by hurling two at once. Thle little old muan, under the power of his speech, has btraightened himself up, and the stoop has gone out of his shoul ders, and he looks about three feet tall er than when he began; and his eye4, which were quiet, became two llames of fire; and his face, which was calm in the introduct lon, now depicts a whirl - wind of emotion a- he ties the two tounderbells together with a cord of in consumable courage and hurls theim at the crowd now standirg or sitting aghast-the two thundei bolts of Resui rection and Last Judgment. His clos ing words were, "Because he hat h ap pointed a day in which lie will judge the world in righteousness by that nan whom lie hath ordained, whereof he lmathi given assurance unto all men in iat he bath raised him from the (lead." Remember those thoughts wete to them novel and provocative; that Christ, the despised ANazarene, would come to be their judge, and they should have to get up out of their c( meteries to stand btefore him and take their eternal dooim. Mightiest burst of elocutionary 1ow-r ever heard. The ancestors of some of those Greeks had heard Demosthenes in his oration on the crown, had heard .Eschines in his speeches against 'fim archus and Ctesiption, had heard Plato in his great argument for immortahty of the soul, had heard Socrates on his deattibed, suicidal cup of hemlock in hand, leave his hearers in emotion too gream to bear; had in the theater of ionysuis at the foot of the Acropolis (the ruins of its piled up amphitntater aiid the marble floor of its orchestra still there) seen enacted the tragedits of Eichylus and Sophocl-s, but neither had the ancestors of these Grecians on Mars Hill or themselves ever heard or witnessed such tornadoes of moral Iower as that with which Paul now whelmed his hearers. At thcso two thoughts of resurrection and judgiient the audience sprang to their feet. Some iloved they adjourn to soie other day to hear more on the same theme, but others would have torn the sacred orator to pieces. The record says: "Some mocked." I suppose it means that they mimicked the solemnity of his voice; that they took off his impassioned gesticulat ions and they cried out: "Jew! Jew! Where did you study rhetoric? You ought to hear our orators speak! You had bet ter go back to your business of tent making. Our Lycurgus knew more in a minute thain you will know in a month. Say, where did you get that crooked back, and those weak eyes from ? la! ha! You try to teach us Grecians! What i' mnense you talk about when you speak of resurrection andl judgment. So w, little 01(d man, climnb down tihe side ol' Mars 111ll and get out of sight as soon as possible." "Some mocked." liut that scene adjourned to the day of which the sacred orator had spoken the day of resurrection and judgment. As in Athens, that evening in 1889, we climbed down the pile of slippery' rocks, where all this had occurred, on our way back to our hotel, I st,ood half way between the Acropolms and M\ars in the gathering shadow sof eventide, I seemed to hear those two hills ini sub lime and awful converse. "1 am chief ly of the past ;" said the Acropolis. "I am chiefly of the future," replied Alars 111ill. TIhe Acropolis said: "Mly orators are deaid. Mly lawgivers are dead. Aly poets are (lead. My architects are deadl. My scup)tors are dead. I am a monu ment of the dead pas'.. I shall never, never again hear a song suing. I wil never agamn see a coluuinn lifted. I will never again behold a goddess crowned." Mlars 111ll responded: "I too, hav ~e a histor-y.. I had on miy heights warriors who will never again uneiath thle sword, and judges who will never again uittei- a doomi and orators who wvil never again make a plea. But my in Iluence is to be miore in the fut ure than it ever was in the past. 'rhe words that mllissionlary, P'aul, uttere,i that exciting .1aay in the he'aring of the wi.iest meni imnd the populace on my rocky shoul :1cmrs have only begun their mnaje-stic role; the brotherhood of man, and the Chirist of God, and the peroration of resur rectioni andl last j udgmenit, wi th which the~ Tarsiari orator closedh hi. ser mon that dlay amid the mocking cr ow shiall yet reovolutionmize the planet. Oh, A~cropolis! I have stood here long enough to witniess that 3 ourim gods are 10 godfs at all. Your I orens could ni-t 30ntrol thue winds. Y our Neptuiie could io0 miana.ge thle sea. Your A polloh iever evoked a imusical none. You r fd Ceres never grew a harvest. Your foddess of wisdom, Minerva, neve-r new the G reek alphabet. Y (il r .ii u :er could not handle the 1mghtnings. lInt the God whom I proclaimed oni Ine himy when Paul preachi d bef ore t lie estounded assemnblage on my rough beighits is the Glod of music, the God of wisdom, the God of power, the God of love, the God of storms, the God 01 semn shine, the God of the land amid the God 0f the' sea, ihe God over all, blessed for eve('r." Trhen thme Acropolis spake and said, as though in self defense, "Miy P lato atrguedt tor the immortality of thie soul, aiid my Socrates praised virtue, and my Miltiades at Marathon (drove back the P'ersian oppressors." "Yes," said Mars 11111, "your Plato laboriously guessed at the immortality of the soul, but. my Paul, divinely inspired, declared it a.s a fact straight from God. Your Socrates p,ralsed virtue, but expired ais a suiicidle. I.our Miltiades was brave against earthly fnas, yet (lied from a wondne ignoininiousily gott.n in alter defeat lI;ut my Paul challenged all varth alnd all hll with this battle sio,t. \V4 wrestle not a:rainst Ilesh and blood, buI against principali ties, agaiist, powern against the rulers of the datikness of this world, ag.inst, spiritual wicked. nt-ss in high phies, and then on tiht 29th of June, in the year 66, ou th( road to Ostia, after the sword of tih headsmaan had given one keen stroke took tihe cro"wn of martyrdom."
