Ancient Biographical Sketches.

Cyprian. He was professor of oratory in the
city of Carthage The Date of his birth is not pre-.
cisely recorded. His conversion to Christianity
was in the year GAG. Two years after this he was
chosen Bishop of Carthage, which office he filled IS
years In the beginning of his time, under the De-
clan persecution he was forced 10 retire from Car
thage. How long he remained in exile is not pre-
cisey known, but most of his episies were written
during that time. In the pacific part Of Faleran's
reign he returned 20 Carthage, whence he was soon
driven into Punishment by Paternus, the proconsu
to Curubis little town so miles from Carthage
situated by the sea, over against Sicily. On the
death of the proconsul he returned to Carthage,
where he was shortly after seized and beheadetl.
Gregory 1haumaturgas, or the wonder ,goyker
He was born at Neocaesarea the metropolis of Cap
adocia. His father was pagan, but died when
Gregory was Is years old. He was instructed
principally by Origen. while the latter resided at
Palestine. He became afterwards Bishop of his ma
tive city, and died natural death during the De-
clan persecution
AriWs. Hewas deacon Of the Church Of Alex
andria at the commencement of the fourth century,
andwas afterwards advanced to the Presbyter He
died suddenly at Constantinopie A. ID. 93T. ---a-.-
Eusebius. There were two OF this name. One

He died Gao.
dttdnasius. He was born about the wear 297.
The first we hear of him is at the famous Council
Of Nice in Bithynia 1926. Five mouths after this
he was nominated by Alexander Bishop of Alex
andria, as his successor, and elected accordingly.
In S35 he was summoned 70 appear before coun-
Gil of Arans held at Tyre. On account of his sem
timents he was here condemned, and appealed TO
Constantine at Constantinople. La the year SAP
he was deposed by council of Arian Bishops at
Antioch, and Gregory Cappadocian ordained in
bis room. He then fed to Rome, and from thence
published epstle TO the christian world. He con-
tnued at Rome g months. In $40 on the death
of Gregory, the Emperor Constantine solicited
Athanasius TO return to Alexandria, which he did,
by the way of Antioch. In the year 355 another
council at Milan attempted to get up Aranism by
putting down Athanasius, and tho ne xt year George
Of Cappadocia was transferred to Alexandra, and
Athanasius went into the deserts to visit the monks
For seven years be remained in concealment bat
in the year 362 on the death OF George, be return
ed to Alexandra. He was soon forced again to

Wan. About the beginning of SET he fed for the
fourth time. At length he returned, and died in
