place, before the famous court of Ath-

discourse which is the subject of our
lesson.

INTRODUCTION.

PauPS Address to the Athenians
on Mars Hill, if considered simply as
human achievement in oratory, is mar
velous. The Gospel in the person of its
exponent, then faced the proud Grecian
civilization. No one can approximately
read the report of Paul's address and
doubt that he was the complete master
OF the occasion. He spoke no longer as
Jew. In the synagogues he was wont
to appeal to Hebrew history for his
premises. To do that now would alien
ate his hearers; it would be of doubt
full courtesy. He spoke as a man to
fellow men, as Son of God to other
sons of God. He based his argument on
nature and the nature of things. He
appealed to no scriptures save the
GreciaD; this he did by repeating
words of Grecian poets. We marvel at
the scope of his address. 1t is like the
sea for the Wilderness of it's charity. 1t
suggests the sky in it's calmness and
majesty. 1t is in it's spontaneous rhet-
ORIG like poem. 1t is surcharged with
moral power and sweet reasonableness
Not many orators have been born who
if the material we're in their possession
and like occasion came to them, could
attain to such grandeur in oratory. We
have reason for believing that Paul was
in subsequent ages regarded by the
Athenians, because of the traditions of
this address, as one of the great masters
of rhetoric,

The EnViOuS Jews of Thessalon-

Many indications point to the suppo.

reason of some bodily infirmity, inca

city, the idolatry he everywhere beheld

reaching the people; conversing on the
principles of natural and revealed re-
ligion with any who perchance met with
him there"

world, the grand announcement was
signal for derisive outcry.
The immediate and apparent effect of
this matcbless speech does not appear
to have been great. The Gospel did not
thrive in Athens as in other Gre:ia

by the prevailing schools of philosophy.

AS previously announced, the next
symphony concert will occur Wednes-
day evening, the 18th, at the Academy
of Music. The programme will be by
far the most popular one, from the
public standpoint, that the society has
as yet given. The first number on the
programme will be the grand overture
by Mendelssohn, who constructed the
overture from the great German poets
(Goethe) two verses, describing a ship
becalmed at sea. Afterwards gentle
breezes springing up, the waves COM
mence to roll, happy voyage and safe
return follow. The first verse describ-
ing the ship becalmed at sea, is por-
trayed by the orchestra in the
adagio introduction by some wonder
fully sweet and broad harmonies,
played double piano. The listener will
observe in the introduction that the
contra basses introduce q rythm that
is reproduced by the violon- cello Sec
ton afterwards, although a different
theme, In the first movement. After
the introduction the orchestra enters
upon some grand whirlng melodies
and harmonies, which are really thrill
ing In their effect. Working up to-
wards the last three bars, the tempo
diminished till three beautiful chords
in double piano, are struck by the or
chestra, three bars in duration. These
three chords evidently are intended to
portray pleasure and contentment af-
ter all the possible dangers of the yoy-
age are over. The overture in itself Is
we'll worth the price of admission.
This is the first time that this overture
Will have been played in this city. The
symphony upon this occasion will not
be one of those long and tedious af-
fairs. 1t will be no other than the

from Blnghamton. Wentzler claims to
have received his information from a
lady "out of town." and states that the
story came to his ears by the "merest

lurid account of Miss Yaw's death be-
fore the Binghamton audience, will no
doubt be of the opinion that chance
story hits the Binghamton journalist
very hard. However, all will be pleas
