themselves felt. Then she swept once into her

another, mentioning names and connecting incl

spirit gave the name OF the daughter Rosa Beck

origin Of the Architect.

The earliest architecture DO.
quoathed by ancient nations was an
outcome Of ancestor worship. Its
first phases were exhibited In either
tombs or temples, which, rs we have
long ago seen. arc tho less developed
and more developed forms Of the
samo thing; hence, as being both
appliances for Worship now simple
and now elaborate, both came under
tho control of tho priesthood, and
tho inference 20 DO drawn Is that the
first architects were priests.
An illustration which may DO put
FIRST Is yielded by ancient India.
Says Manning, Architecture was
treated ms q sacred science by learned
llindoos. " Again we read in Hunter
Indian architecture although al.
80 ranked "a an upa voda, OF supple
muntary part Of inspired learning,
derived It's development from Bud.
dh.st rather than from Bralnanical
impulses
In Tonnont's "Ccylon" there arc
passages variously exhibiting the
relations between architecture and
religion and its ministers. BY many
peoples the cave was made the
primitive tomb temple, and in the
east It became in some cases largely
developed Popular Science Month
