The Tower of Silence on top Of NAL
obar hill is the pretticst spot in Bonn
bay. There is circle OF concrete walls
twenty five feet high. Inside this wall,
six feet from the top, IS an inclined
floor Of concrete, divided into three cir
Giles and surrounding Il pit. The outer
circle is widest ana Is for the men; the
second circle is Il little narrower and is
for the women; the inner circle, sur
rounding the pit, is narrowest of the
three and is for the children. The con,
Ter pit is deep and filled in the bottom
with sand ana charcoal. There are
five of these. When a Parsee dies he is
laid in one OF these. No one ever sees
the inside but those who bear the bod

walk right out. Overhead and perchcd
on the tops of the walls arc many vul-

hours they have eaten 1t clean. Then
the bones are swept into the pit, and
the rain washes the circles clean, and
the bones in the pit crumble to dust,
and the water drains off through the
sand and charcoal into the earth. The
vultures sometimes become SO large

allow no other birds ear the place.

works better than it can get along
without public spirit. Give us a
town made up of citizens with no
public spirit, whatsoever, and we
would trade off graveyard for it
and ask nothing to boot. Public
spirit is to town what blood is to

LETTER w.

DEAR JUDGE:
AS background to letter on
Athens, let me tell you little story
of a worn aud lonely traveller who
'1eassed through the Piraeus 1900
wears ago. AS he rounded cape
if5union on which stood temple of
Athena Minerva, his first glimpse
of Athens was the glittering crown,
shield and spear-point of Athena
Promachus as she lowered stately
and grand above the high rock of
the famous Acropolis. From that
moment onward the glowing seen
cry was dotted with forests of idols
wherever the eye might rest. The
countless multitude, the artistic
beauty and enhancing splendor Of
this rich tribute of tie unrivaled
genius of Greece to her gods, stag
gers and stuns imagination.
Through such bewildering forest,
of art the weary stranger walked
Tive niles to the sacred Double
date. on to the magnificent forum.
from whose inches, pillars and ped
estals ten thousand more gods of
gold, bronze and painted marble,
cleaned upon him. While telling
the people the story that was ever
on his lips, he encountered the pol
ished professors of philosophy. 500
years Athens had been the great
university ef the civilized ~esld
The proudest of the Romans came
hither to learn literature, art and
philosophy. These learned profess
sors were endowed with the common
frailties of human nature. They
were unable to defeat his plea by
argument and tried to break its
force with the people by stigma
tizing him as retailer of plagiar-
lied trihes. Thea like the licensed
merchants of a country village who
hurry to the courts the intruding
vender of rival wares, these great
philosophers dispute the legal right
of Paul to teach his doctrine. They
hurry him from the forum up the
stone steps TO tine rooffess summit
of the great rock, Mars Hill, and
Immediately assemble the illustri-
Gus court to subject Paul to an ex-
amining trial. The grave old
judges sat in the open air in their
rock-hewn chairs, about them were
the philosophers and few of the
loading men and women Of Athens.
Paul stood up in the midst of this
renowned court, facing the east
Before him cleaned the Acropolis
that unequaled genius had made
more resplendent with art than any
spot on earth. There was the Par
thenon that housed within its pill
Jared walls the chyselephantine sta
tue of Athena. All other legal
gods were visible. On his left was
the yenerated Erectheum. the beau
tiful temple whose basement and
rocky caverns beneath were kept
red with the blood of unhappy her
itics. To the right ON the same
Acropolis, was the beautiful temple
of Winged Victory''-perfectio in
art and religion had come to stay
There were to be no new gods,
nothing new in religion or art.
Just below in the face of the cliff

heart of humanity in Athens dis
dained these puppit gods of blind
passion and ignorant caprice, and
erected in the heart of Athens, not
an idol but an altar to ''1'he unknoacn
God" Hither came great souls
like Socrates and the Elusinian
priests with their prayers and as
pirations for clearer light and for
immortality. 1t had come ct last.
Paulsaid something like this cath
enians, / see on every hand evi-
dences of your extraordinary piety.
| announce to you no new god, but
him-the only true God--before
whose altar yonder, your restless
hearts have cried, through genera
tions, for light. He disdains to
dwell in these temples made with
hands or mortal service for immor-
tai needs. He himself serves all
his creatures from his inexhausti-
BILE stores. The nations all are his.
He drew them from a single source.
All geography and history were
made by him before the world be-
gan. National boundaries and
epochs were arranged to bring men
to God, the creator and father of
us all. This, too, is what your own
Bible teaches Just as your own altar
there proclaims your ignorance and
your need of the God whose will
teach. Those times of idols and
ignorance God overlooked, but now
calls you to turn to him, for he has
appointed day in which he will
judge the world in righteousness
by that man whom he has ordained.
His divine credentials before all
men appear in the fact that he
raised him from the dead"
This overwhelming climax
evoked sudden snort of mingled
disgust and indignation from some
of the distinguished judges. Others
said: "This is serious and comph-
Gated case. We must have another
session of the court" The court
was divided, thrown into panic and
actually stampeded. Paul himself
adjourned the court sine die by
walking out followed by the dis
tinguished judge, Dionysius, and
by Damaris, probably the leading
woman of Athens, like Aspssia 400
years before. This handling of
courts and Kings became a habit
with Paul. His first speech before
the Jewish Sanhedrim set half the
body fighting for Paul Governor
Felix trembled The great Festus
cried outin amazement: paul, you
must be crazy with learning" King
Agrippa gaspedout "Almost thou
persuadest me to be a Christian.
Here on Mars Hill Dionysius and
others actually became Christians.
Yesterday we followed the path
of Paul into Christian city. The
laborer on the street kisses the
cross, pauses in his labors to bow
in worship in one of the numerous
Christian temples that adorn the
city. The King and Queen climb
unattended, the steep slopes OF Ly-
cabettus to worship on its summit
in their beautiful church dedicated
to their divine master whom Paul
brought here 1900 years ago. In
all the schools the epistles of Paul
are read in the old tongue in which
they were written. All Greece be-
longs to Paul, and Paul to Jesus,
