Bronson Writes of
His Visit to Ephesus

The only modern residence in the
city stands upon a slight hill just
west of the mosque. 1t was erected
Thy Prof. Benndorp. who superintend-
ed the excavating of the ruined city.
1t at present shelters a harem, com
posed OF about twenty-five women.
Upon the western extremity of Mt.
Solyriis,Hs stands a lettering arch
which formed the gateway of the wall
surrounding the citadel of Justinian.
Idt is named the Gate of the Persecu-
ton. Fragments OF a very elaborate
frieze can be seen Just above the
, archway, but most of the DECORATIVE
figures have been chiseled off and
carried away. This gateway fell into
ruins fifteen hundred years ago.
Immediately tx the rear of the gate
way lies a mass of broken masonry
and stone work. all that is visible of
the church of st. John. This church
was erected about three hundred
years after the birth of Christ, and
was built upon a very elaborate scale.
Ii measured 27o feet by $50 feet and it
contained a great fortune in golden
images and precious stones. The
church was sacked by Timonr, but
the building itself was reduced TO a
ruin by an earthquake in the year
10as. The rain has lever been ex-
eayated. but a company Is being form.

the Eve entrances, a few granite col
umns, and a small portion of the
stage and p~roscenium to mark the
spot. Nearby stands the ruin OF a
Byzantine church, and to the right of
this the public library. It was built
and stocked under Mark Antony, and
was indeed very elaborate. Nearly
the whole ground floor remains, show
ing the inches for statuary and the
Lodges for the manuscripts. We then
arrived at the public market, and a
little to the south could be seen the
ruins of the TEMPLE Of the Egyptian
goddess, isis" Then turning to the
north, We soon came to the most in
~teresting ruin of them all-the theater
Of Ephesus. This theater was the
largest in Asia Minor, having a seat
ing capacity Of thirty thousand. The
approach was by two marble avenues,
and broad stairways led to the various
parts of the interior. Three seats,
formed in a half circle, three tiers
high, were made of granite faced with
white marble. On each extremity of
the two sides of the half circle extend
ed a wing OF heavy masonry, which
still stands. In front of the orchestra
stands a high pulpit, from which place
speeches, %orations, ETC., were made.
The stage was supported by a series
of short granite columns, all of which
remain standing. And upon each side
extends an abutment, upon which the
proscenium rested. In front of the
theater still remains a marble-paved
street, extending the entire distance
to VIE city port, about two miles.
The harbor is completely filed with
sand, and is only a reedy marsh now.
The entire water front was walled
in with a quay, with long stone piers
extending out into the harbor, but
now they are scarcely visible above
the sand.
Upon the southeast corner of the
avenue stood the exchange or money
market, and on the opposite side the
clerk of the port a very important
Office at that time. Upon the gate.
posts of this homie were found two
Greek inscriptions. One was the mes.
sage of King Abgarns of Odessa to
Jesus, and his reply to the same.
Standing all alone upon the crest
OF Mt. Prion can be seen the last
vestige of Lysimmachus Wall; a
watch tower, which became famous al
the prison of st. Paul. The dungeons
may be seen, in each of which st
Paul spent a long time in irons. He
speaks Of this imprisonment in his
epistle.
Next we visited the Oldest Christ

world, Which, during early days was

walked under a gate of pure white
marble, built by the Romans. and
passed a large stone altar and bap-
tismal font. Next we came to the
stadium, an open air amphitheater in
which games Of skill and strength
were exhibited. A few broken col
umns and blocks of granite mark this
site. We now had reached the Gate
of Smyrna, which led to that city and
is situated at the opposite side of the
city from the Magnesium gate.
Before closing, l will try to describe
the public baths, for they were i'll
deed interesting. The bath at that
time filled the same Office as our
club. The idle rich spent the greater
portion Of their time in the bath. To
take six or seven baths a day was
considered fashionable. The building
was constructed of hewn granite,
with a white marble flooring. These
were hot and cold %plunges, steaming
rooms and retiring chambers all made
of pure white marble. In the center
played a fountain. around which the
patrons discussed the issues of the
time.
Ephesus, during her many centuries
of existence experienced every change
of fortune and government. She was
at various times, ruled by hereditary
princes, governors and officers elected
by the people. The greater portion
of. the time she enjoyed unlimited
freedom and prosperity, and it was
her wealth and power which finally
brought about her downfall.
At first the people were obliged to
struggle against adversely and warlike.
neighbos, and they gave but slight
attention to anything except strength
ening the city. But, as they gradually
became a power and no longer feared
their neighboring enemies, they gave
more time to pleasure and idleness,
until during the Roman period the
entire population became effeminate
and extremely lax morally. Thus 1t
was the city was not prepared 70

IGeths from the north, and they fell
an easy prey to these fierce hordes.
1t seems as invariable rule that,

gives the mand their loose habits soon
bring about their ruin. Coming as ]
do from the shores Of a nation that
once forced every power upon the
earth to acknowledge her supremacy
but who now is being thoroughly
beaten by her outraged subjects
causes me to see that Ephesus stands
as an example of what Turkey, or any
other nation will become who follow
the principles Of unlimited pleasure
Turkish wealth is exhausted, and bel
subjects are demoralized. The glory
of her supremacy is overshadowed
by her disgraceful fall and an be

of hidden treasure, have scattered the
ruin considerably, and besides, the
best parts of it have been carried
away, so all that remains of this once
magnificent structure is a half SUBJ
merged wall and a few broken pillars.
For centuries material was taken from
the temple with which to construct
other buildings, almost a whole city
being built from it's marble and stone,
so it is little wonder that practically
nothing remains.
After leaving the site of this once
magnificent eGifce We turned our
steps toward a n~eighDoring hill, in
the side of which we found the Cave
CT the Seven Sleepers. Tradition
says that seven children we're playing
within the cave, when the opening
vas suddenly closed by a large stone.
At the expiration of a hundred years
the stone was rolled away, and the
CIIIuiSlt dNdhChiuS l1O1i q CSHluly vi
continuous sleep, sent 2 Of their
number into the city of Ephesus to
purchase bread. The coin, long since
out of date, which the child offered
the baker, attracted his attention and
thinking the child had found a treas
ure, notified the authorities. They
listened to the child's account of fall
ing asleep in the cave with his broth
| ers, and, with considerable doubt they
visited the cave, only to find every
thing as the child had described it.
This rather incredible tale has MADE
the cave sacred for many centuries,
and today the peasants bring offerings
and place them upon a small stpne
which stands Just within the entrance.
"A few momentS walk from the
cave brought us to the Gates of Mag
! nesia, the southern outlet of Ephesus
and through which the people passed
upon their way to worship in the tenn
pie OF Diana. The gate has ontiiyed
the walls, owing TO the massiveness OF
its construction, bat explorers have
