This tomb Is on Mount Pargos. four
miles outside Of Smyrna, and the two
crergymen decided to visit it. They
engaged one of the local guides. When
! they reached the entrance to the tomb
Rev. Mr.. Smith expressed desire to
explose it. The guide became alarmed
| and protested that the tomb was in
tested with robbers: While this dis
cussion was going on three ugly-look
ing chaps disappeared in the Enclosure.
Hardly had Mr.. Smith got a few feet
into the tomb when he heard some one
running toward him. He was soon af-
ter face to face with what he said was

he ever saw. The fellow was armed
with a pistol. sword and dagger. The
brigand made a dash for the two
clergymen. who rushed back to the en-

his pocket and prepared to meet the
robber.
Just at this moment the robbers two
companions. heavily armed, rushed up
out Of the tomb and the three attempt

long distance toward the town before
the robbers stopped their pursuit. That
night in Smyrna the two Americans at

Wisdom is not the same as under
standing; nor is it talent. or capacity,
ability, sagacity, sense, or prudence;
neither will all these together make 1t
up. 1t is that exercise O. the reason
into which the heart enters-a struc-
ture OF the understanding rising out of
the moral and spiritual nature. 1t is for
this cause that high order Of wisdom
that is, highly intellectual wisdom
is still more rare than high order
OF genius. When they reach the very
highest order they are one; for each
includes the others, and intellectual
greatness is matched with moral
strength.
