Arranging a Church sociabIe.

Do not let a few do all the work

Let those who are active in other de-
partments of church work find the
evening restful. Give the Sunday
school superintendent an easy chair
and the sexton an extra plate of ice
cream. Each woman ip the congrega-
ton should feel that it is her duty to
increase the interest in the success OF
the evening She should invite a shy
neighbor, urge u sad one or accompany
a lonely one to the sociable and intro
duce her to at beast one friendly soul

theirs seems TO be the privilege OF
guiding and controlling social life gem

Those who take the place of hosts
for the evening may find use for all the
tact and ingenuity they have. A word
here, q cordial handshake there, an
introduction which promises a congenial
acquaintance, a skillfully managed in

longed-it is MOI q place for getting

Il woNnERFuL AcRoPoLIs.


We come now to the Acropolis. 1t
is a rock about two miles in circum-
ference at the base and thousand feet
in circumference at the top, and three
hundred feet high. On it has been
crowded more elaborate architecture
and sculpture than in any other place
under the whole heavens Originally
a fortress, afterward a congregation of
temples and statues and pillars, their
ruins an enchantment from which no
observer ever breaks. No wonder that
Aristides thought it the center of all
things-Greece, the center of the world !;
Attica, the center of Greece; Athens,
the center of Attica, and the Acropolis
The center of Athens Earthquakes
have shaken it; Verres plundered it.
GArd Elgin, the English ambassador
at Cntantinople, got permission of the
Sultan . remove from the Acropolis
fallen pieces of the building, but he
took from the building to England the
finest statues, removing them at an ex-
pense- OF eight hundred thousand dol
lars. A storm overthrow many of the
statues of the Acropolis Morosini, the
general attempted to remove from a
pedinent the sculptured car and horses
Of Victory, but the clumsy machinery
dropped it, and all was lost.
The Turks turned Tue building into
powder magazine where the Venetian
gunsdropped fire that by explosion
sent the columns flying inthe air and
falling cracked and splintered. But

ALASl AND HOSANNAH!

After a moments silence by both
hills the Acropolis moaned out in the
darkness, ALAS! Alas!" and Mars Hill
responded, "Hosannahl Hosannahn'
Then the voices of both hills became
indistinct, and as | passed on and away
in the twilight | seemed to hear only
two sounds-a fragment of Pentelicon
marble from the architrave of the Acrop-
oils dropping down on the ruins Of a
shattered idol and the other sound
seemed to come from the rock on Mars
Hill, from which we had just descended
But we were by this time so far off
that the fragments of sentences wero
smaller when dropping from Mars Hill
than were the fragments of fallen mar

hear parts of disconnected sentences

made the world"-"of one blood ali
nations" appointed day in which
he will judge the world''-''r raised him
from the dead"
As that night in Athens I put my
tired head on my pillow, and the ex-
citing scenes of the day passed through
my mind, thought on the same sub
ject on which as a boy | made my com
mencement speech in Niblo's theatre
on graduation day from the New York
university, viz, The Moral Effects of
Sculpture and Architecture, but fur
ther than | could have thought in boy
hood | thought in Athens that night
that the moral effects of architecture
and sculpture depend on what you do
in great buildings after they are put
up, and upon the character of the men
whose forms you cut in the marble
Yea! | thought that night what
struggles the martyrs went through in
order that in our time the Gospel might
have full swing; and l thought that
night what brainy religion it must be
that could absorb a hero like him whom
we have considered today, a man the
superior of the whole human race, the
infidels but pygmieS or homunculi com
pared with him; and | thought what
rapturous consideration it is that
through the same grace that saved
Paul, we shall confront this great
apostle and shall have the opportunity.
amid the familiarities of the skies, of
asking him what was the greatest occa-
sion of all his life.
He may say, THE shipwreck of
Melita." He may say, THE riot at
Ephesus." He may say, "My last walk
out on the road to Ostia. =" But |
think he will say: THE day l stood
on Mars Hill addressing the indignant
Areopagites, and looking off upon the
towering form of the goddess Minerva,
and the majesty of the Parthenon, and
all the brilliant divinities of the Acrop-
oils. That account in the Bible was
true. My spirit was stirred within me
