THE PHRYGIANS.
BY REV. MARY ]. DELONG.
anew.
BOSTON, Oct. 26

On the map of Asia Minor, in the
classical biographies, the country of
Phrygia occupies that part of the
peninsula east of the center, west of
Lydia and Mysia, north of Pisidia
and south of Bithypia. 1t was, in
its day, large country inhabited by
a race which the Greeks called Free
men, closely akin, as demonstrated
by comparative philology, to the
Thracians and Macedonians. But
instead of seeking for their origin in
these countries the best classical
ethnologists seek for it in the neigh
boring highlands of Armenia, whence
they are believed to have spread at a
period far before the dawn of authen-
tic history, over the greater part of
the peninsula and thence to have
crossed into Thrace, Macedonia and
Illyria. In Homeric verse Priam's
wife is Phrygian woman. Gyges,
king of Lydia from 6S7 to 653 B. c.,
had Phrygian mother. The mystic
Pelops who colonized the Pelopon-
nesus and gave it his name, was said,
by tradition, to be Phrygian. All
this points to the Phrygians as one of
the oldest races, if not the very oldest
in Asia Minor. Indeed they seem
from all accounts to have been a SUI
perior people, being in reality the
originators of what has always been
known as Greek art. The two lions
over the gateway at Mycena, the old
est great monument on Greek soil, is
of distinctive Phrygian character.
Between $50 and $40 B. c., the Cim-
merians, in their destructive progress
over Asia Minor, overran Phrygia,
and from henceforth the history of
this people is story of slavery, deg
radiation ana decay. After 5S5 B. G.
the country was ruled again by its
own princes under subjection to Lyd-
ian supremacy. Very little is known
with regard to the condition of Phry-
gia from that time, for more than two
hundred years. The slave trade
fourished, Phrygian slaves being
common ON the Greek market.
Christianity was introduced into
Phrygia by Paul in one of his mis-
journeys, as we learn from
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1894-11-03

making our own Christian character real
and solid. We shall deserve removal as
dead branch unless we respond to the
calls of humanity. The opportunities
are great and pressing and the call is i'm
perative. Let us not turn away from
the opportunity. or be inconsistent with
our professed discipleship of the Master,
or betray our cause by any lack in giving
a prayerful, earnest and liberal support
to the mission work the coming year.

within man something which distin-
guishes itself and it's own actions,
states AMI products from the very
body upon which its functions of
knowing and distinguishing are said
to depend; and if it distinguishes it.
self from the body with which it is
80 intimately connected, certainly it
separates itself from all other material
existences. 1t is apparent that every
man has spiritual nature.
If, without arguing the case, we may
accept the teaching of Jesus and as
sumo his.declarations to be true. we
shall be compelled to believe that
"God is spirit" that he is personal
spirit-a being of intelligence, feeling
and villa wise, loving father, un-
seen. untouched. but not unknown.
Being "born anew" is the awaken
ing to new and higher activities of
the spiritual nature of man. tits the
arousal of the peculiar divine element
in ussfrom the'condition of mere pas
sivity. 1t is the startling of the in
dividual in his indifference. 1t is the
vitalizing contact of the spirit of God
and the spirit of man. One has been
"born anew" if he has felt and known
that contact. If he has never felt
never has been conscious of the pres
ence of God; never has been warmed
by his love entering into him in larger
measure; a man has not been born
anew.
Robertson says of Pentecost, "It is
abundantly evident that new life
was called out. 1t was not merely
the. sharpening of the intellectual
powers; it was calling out powers of
aspiration and love to God; those
affections which have in them some
thing boundless-that are not limited
TO bulS edTtu, Out Scch tuclI COuplO-
ton in the mind of God himself" ;"
To be born anew is to have new zest
given to the spiritual nature we pos
sess. ItEis to have the spirit in us
the dominating and chief factor in
our thought and conduct. 1t is to
live and be and do in accordance with
the holy.infuence of the invisible.
The power which made Peter the
valiant soldier of the cross and Paul
the heroic missionary, was not alone
of themselves. 1t was an energy and
spirit which enlarged and strength
ened the divine element within them
which made the spirit first and fore
most. The changes which were
wrought in them are directly trace
able to the fact of their own spirits
being brought into conscious contact
withdthe spirit of Coda contact
not based in theology, or in philoso-
ply: contact that quickens, WHITES,
purifes, "edifes, exalts and redeems.
Being thus conscious is being born
anew.

AcJS XVI. D, 10, Zo. CnrlSClan lnScrlp-
tions on tombs and monuments be-
gan in the second century and are
abundant in the third. Eusebius
says that in the time of Diocletian,
Emperor of Rome, there was Phry-
gian city in which every living soul
was Christian. This wide-reaching
conversion of the people is attributed
to one Abercius, who became, accord
ing to some authorities, the very ear
nest opponent of Montanus.
Montanus, who was the founder of
the sect called after him, Montanists,
lived, at the time he promulgated his
heresy, at Phrygian village which
Mosheim calls Pepuza, but which
Eusebius says was Ardaba, a certain
village of Mysia in Phrygia. Mos
helm says the Montanists were sect
in which ignorance reigned and
which was the mortal enemy of phil
osophy and letters. Eusebius sets
Montanus down as the false prophet
of the Phrygians. Some of these
false prophets, he says. crept like
venomous serpents over Asia and
Phrygia, pretending that Montanus
was the Holy Spirit, the Comforter.
Against this heresy of the Cataphryg-
ians, he says, that power which is the
defender of the truth raised up
powerful weapon and antagonist in
Apollinaris of Hierapolis.
We Americans may be said to be
the Youngest race in all history, yet
the life of this ancient, prehistoric
race touches ours in most peculiar
manner and at a very vital point. The
Phrygians wore, as common head
gear, a sort of conical cap, made of
wool in the winter and of flax in the
summer, woven, it is believed, by the
fingers of their women, though no one
can now tell how it was done. These
caps were everywhere considered a
sign of freedom; no slave was allowed
to wear one. The ceremony of setting
slave at liberty consisted in putting
a red cap on his head and proclaim
ing him an equal. For this reason
the cap in it's conical shape became
the model for the liberty cap which
we see always on the head of the
Goddess of Liberty when stamped on
coins or engraven On paper. The
original color of the cap was red, and
in the time of the French revolution
the populace dyed caps of this shape
in the blood of royalists and aristo-
Gratis, then waved them aloft as their
standard of liberty, naming it the
Phrygian cap. This cap was con-
spicuous as it hung on the long staff
in the right hand of the statue of the
"Republic" at the Worlds Fair.

Punch and Judy Shows.

From the Broolyn Eagle.
Like the harlequinade of the pam
tomime, the puppet show of Punch
and Judy seems to have come to
us from Italy, and the English
name for the hero, Punch, is gen.
orally supposed to be simply con-
tradiction of the Italian Punchin-
clio. The show began to be famil-
lar in England in the seventeenth
century, and there is handful in
the British museum, dating from
about the beginning of the reign Of
Qneen Anne, in which the people
are invited to witness "The merry
humors of Sir John Kendall and
Punchinello." About the same
time Punch made his appearance
on the stage at Covent Garden, the
part being taken by an actor named
Edwin. The play itself is said to
have been first introduced by an
Italian playwright, Silvia Florilla,
who fiourished about 1900. The
earliest literary reference to the
show is in the spectator" The
article possesses humOr enough to
commend it:
Sir-I have been for twenty years
under sexton Of this Parish of st.
Paul's Covent Garden, and have
not missed tolling into prayers six
times in all those years, which Of
flee | have performed to my great
satisfaction, until this fortnight
last past, during which time l find
my congregation take the warning
of the bell, morning and evening,
to 60 to a puppet show set forth by
one Powell under the piazzas. By
this means l have not only lost
my two customers, whom | used
to place for siXpence apiece over
against Mrs. Rachel Eyebright, but
Mrs. Rachel herself is gone thither
also. There now appear among us
none but few ordinary people,
who come to church only to say
their prayers, so that | have
no work worth speaking of but on
Sundays. l have placed my son
at the piazzas to acquaint the
ladies that the bell rings for church
and that it stands on the other
side of the garden, but they only
laugh at the child. l desire that
you would lay this before all the
world, that l may not be made
such tool for the future, and that
Punchinello may choose hours less
canonical. AS things are now, Mr..
Powell has a full congregation,
while we have a very thin house,
which, if you can remedy, you will
very much oblige, sir, yours, etc.

Romance of Old Salem.
rom the Boston Jeweler.

From the Boston Jeweler.
This a strange story OF woman's
fidelity which comes from Salem.
One can scarcely believe that in
these days such a romance could
occur, but there seems to be no
doubt of it, and the woman in the
case was well known. She was
Elizabeth Bullock, one of three
aged sisters, all Of whom have died
during the last three weeks of the
grip. Elizabeth was young and
pretty girl fifty years ago, when
she was courted by a youth of
Salem, and promised to marry him.
He was not rich, and wanted to go
west to make his fortune, but asked
her to marry him at once and start
on the search for wealth with him.
Elizabeth was obdurate, however,
and would not leave old Salem.
The young man insisted that she
go. and she was equally anxious to
have him remain. off you 60 away
without me,"' she said, 81 shall
never leave the house again during
my life."
The young man laughed at this
threat and went. He made a for
tune in the west, forgot about Eliz-
abeth and married a girl some
where else. He is now the father
of family, and very prosperous.
But the Salem girls words were
not spoken without thought, it
seems, for, from the day her lover
went away until this morning she
never left the house but once, on
the occasion of a fire a few years
ago, when she was dragged out by
force.
All day long her kindly face has
been seen, for years past, at the
window of the old house on Derby
street, but she has never been
heard to speak of her lover. We'd
nesday night she died, true to her
vow made half a century ago, and
today she was buried. / hope the
man who ran away to the west
in those old days may learn of this,
and know that one woman, at
least, has been true to him during
her whole life.

was in such a condition that we had TO keep
her from school and abandon her music les

taken only three bottles of Nervine she now
weighs log pounds her nervousness and symp-
toms of St. Vitus dance are entirely gone, she
