Large Audience Hears Lecture.

Rev. DR.. Anderson of Hartford was
much enjoyed by a large audience
which filled the st. Paul's parish hall
last night. DR.. Anderson was thor
and his lecture proved to be one of

in Rome and was especially qualified
to speak on this subject.
Stereopticon views were thrown on
the screen. One of the many scenes.
that were shown was the famous
Colosseum of Rome. This old archi-

place of amusement, is now practic-
ally a mass of ruins 1t had a seat
irg capacity of 10000. It took $4,000
tc erect this remarkable structure.
Nc roof covered the building and in
time of stormy weather a huge cam
vas was spread over it's top. The
fla piping of the canvass was said to
have been, deafening. Here many
gladiators combated for the amuse-
ment of the mobiles and here the blood
Of many Christians was shed.
A personal anecdote told by DR.. An
derson while visiting this structure
proved to be very interesting. A
party of tourists were inspecting the
Colosseum and its history was being
explained by the guide. One of the
party had strayed from the party and
was making a minute Study of the
building. He returned when the lee
ture was terminated and remarked to
DR.. Anderson, who was standing close
by, This will be a wonderful build
ing when it is completed"
