Of heather, Jewish, and Christian liters-
ture, with immense Libraries, one Of
which numbered 1000 rolls. There
the Hebrew Scriptures were translated
into the Greek BY seventy interpreters
(hence called the SeptusgiDt). There
arose the Alexaudrian Greek dialect,
which, with its Hebrew coloring (hence
called the Hellenistic), became the organ
Of early Christianity and still lives on
the pages of the New Testament. There
Philo blended the Mosaic religion with
the Platonic philosophy, and dreamed Of
the Logos who became flesh for orr SAL

ranking Jerusalem and Antioch, though
outranked afterward by Constantinople
and Rome. There fourished the first
theological seminary, under the name Of
the Catechetical School, in which
Clement and Origen expounded the
Scriptures and taught the Christian reli-
gion as the last and best System of phil
Osophy, or the true gnosis, in opposition
to the falsely so-called gnosis Of the
Gnostics and New Platonists, who had
their headquarters in the same city.
There arose, in the fourth century, the
Arisn heresy; but there also its chief
opponent, Athanasius, the "father of
orthodoxy" who alone against the world
(Atson0aius sSvsus mundvsn), in his epis-
copal seat and in exile, in the city and in
the desert, defended the eternal deity of
our Lord ~ the cornerstone of the
Chriatian faith and relioion

The now era of Alexandra dates from the
wise aud energetic, though despotic
Hohammed Ali, and the construction of
the Canal, in 1919, which connected it
with the Nile and the rest of Egypt, BY
the forced labor of 100000 men and at .
cost of seven and . half millions of
francs.
OF old Alexandra, heather and Chris
tian, very little remains. It disappeared
like the famous library which the semi
bsrbarous Kslif Omar burnt, on the
plea Of the absolute sumciency Of the
Koran, which made every other book
either superAuous or injurious. The
only monuments Of old times are tho
Column Of Pompey and tho Needle Of
Cleopatra. The former il named not
from the famous Pompey who, after his
defeat at Pharsalus, was murdered on the
coast of Egypt; but from Roman pre-
feet who erected the column to the honor
Of the Emperor Diocletian.--Dr. Sehc1,
