ROMAN ARENA DUG UP
Ancient Amphitheater Is Discovered
Under the City of Paris.
Was Evidently Built During the Ro-
man Occupation of GnuI-EROrt
to BE Made to Restore the
Interesting Ruin.

In the very heart of Paris, shut in
by iron ratings and hidden from the
street by little hill, grass covered
and adorned with trees, lies most
interesting relic of the days long
since gone by when this beautiful
city was under the rule of the Ro-
man invader. The spot is known to
those who know it at all as the Pare
L'Arene, and the Roman arena which
nestles quietly in its center was dis
covered by accident after a sleep of
many centuries. 1t has never been
mentioned in any guide book.
There was urgent need of new
water supply in the locality on the
eft bank of the Seine, not far from
the Jardin DIES Plantes. To provide
reservoir the authorities began to
eXcavate in a little park at the cor
ner of Rue Navarro and Rue Monge,
freGuented only by children and their
nurses.
After the digging had been going
on awhile the worllmen came upon a
structure belonging to another age.
Proceeding carefully. little by little.
they laid bare Roman arena.
Whether the work was done by
Roman slaves or conquered Gauls I'M
der the lash of a Roman taskmaster
is matter of conjecture.
The entrance to the arena is from
the Rue Navarro. TO the right and
left are the boxes reserved for the
mobiles, and one larger and better
situated than the rest may have been
for the emperor. On either side Of
the entrance are cages built under
the seats. Looking into them the
visitor can fancy that one had been
a cell for Christians and captives,
while from the other came the cries
and snarls Of hungry beasts that
were to devour them in the arena to
furnish Roman holiday in the caps
ital of sunny France.
When half of the arena had been
brought to view the work had TO be
discontinued, as II runs under the
wall Of an adjoining building used
by an omnibus company, whose lease
has some time yet to run, The city
authorities have decided TO buy the
property as soon as the lease runs
out and restore the other half Of the
amphitheater.

DEFINITION OF CHRISTIAN.
RE RpY Jesse Nor,


One OF the most vital questions to
the church of Christ and the kingdom
of God is, What is Christian?"
Oh the correct answer to this cues
tion by Christian thinkers and leaders

of the Christian church
Intellectual assent to truth is not
Christianity. The doctrines of Chris
tianity do not make a man a Chris
tian. They should be help in build
ing him UP.
A man who believes in the church as
n divine institution who is able to re-
peat the Apostles Greed, who admires
a high ritualistic form of worship, who
shares in the sacraments OF the church.
is generally called Christian He
may be and he may not be Christian.
Greed is not Christianity.
A man who is kind in disposition
and manner. who helps those in need.
who pays his honest debts, who is a
kind neighbor and a loving friend. is
generally called a Christian. But
morality is not Christianity. 1t is
part of Christianity. Morality does not
give us scope and vision enough for a
definition of a Christian.
4 Christian is man vitality and in
timately como cted with Christ A
Christian is a man who breathes the
spirit of Christ. thinks his thoughts
and lives His life. \ Christian may
be a theologian, an ecclesiastic. a NOR
al man he must be. but above all he
must be Christ-man.

birds AND BEASTS OF SATAN"
BY Rev DR.. p. n. Swift.


Children of godly parents often grow
up and go to the bad. Many church
goers are without the fruits of god
illness in their lives. There are many
nominal Christians whose souls are
barren of the fruits of the spirit.
The parable of the sower reveals
the secret of failure. AS with fields,
so with souls. Truth is powerless I'M
less it gets into the heart.
Resisted conviction, unrepented sin,
unresisted temptation, unconquered
bad habits, are the names of some Of
the beasts whose feet trample down
the soil and crush the seeds Of truth
that have fallen upon the heart.
Every surrender of a principle or
virtue lessons the love and desire for
that principle or virtue.
Truth is jealous She will not live
with the man who has chosen false
hood A prepared heart is ever an
honest heart. 1t must also be an ODE
dent heart
But some of the seed was stolen
away. Jesus Himself interprets the
parable. Satan is ever busy in steal
ing away the truth that has been
sown In mems hearts. He has a great
flock of unholy birds who are forever
busy. Some of these birds have evil
names.
But it is not these that are most to
be feared. Carlyle was right when he
said: "The good is the enemy of the
best
| know that the impure, the unholy,
he openly wicked and the sensual are
the ruination of life
But that is not the whole truth. Some
of the birds of Satan have harmless
names.
Listless inattention is a great ROB
Der. Truth does not transform till it
is mastered. The careless nearer or
reader does not make the truth his
own.
Prejudice is a bird who bears away
some of the most precious grains of
truth. If we are to be benefited by
the truth we must be moved by the
scientific spirit. The true scientist
cares more for the truth than for any
theory. This must be the, case with
the student of Gods word How fire.
quently that is not the case.
We have creeds to bolster ,p. pet
theories to yindicate aud syH ms of
theology to prove true. Let Us away
with theories and seek the naked
truth
Spiritual lethargy is another of
Satan's flock that makes sad havoc
with the seeds of truth. use or lose"
is the law of the universe
Truth was never meant for an orna-
ment. 1t was given to be lived. If
you will not use a power nature will
take it from you. If you will not live
the truth it will leave you. If you will
not do the truth you hear on Sunday it
will say good-by to you before the COM
ing Saturday night.
