THE ETERNAL T

In a recent lecture on Rome MIR.
Harrison said that the great
value of the city of Rome, from the
point of view of general culture and
education. was that 1t had by far the
longest and most complete history of
any city in the world. 1t had three
great qualities as the center of hui
man culture and the development of
human civilization. 1t was the GEN.
ter of the ancient world for many
centuries. 1T became the center of the
early Christian world and for 1000
years it had been the center of re-
ligious pilgrimages, while for four or
five centuries it had been the center
of poetry and art of the modern
world. These three great epochs to-
gether made up something like 81
900 years. and no city in the world
had had SO continuous a life. Hard
ly a century passed without leaving
its memorial in Rome.-London
Globe.
