The Greatest Religious
Structure i'm the World
By DIR. FRANK CRANE.

The greatest religious building on
earth, In my opinion. Is the Altar
OF Heaven. in, the city OF Peking.
China
/ have seen most Of the edifices men
have put up to the glory of God. But
all Of them. fail by large measure
60 approach, In majesty and purity
CT conception, In sheer grandeur, in
the suggestiveness OF divinity and in
the downright beauty and artistic ap-
propriateness. this imposing master
piece Of China.
In the first place. it isn't a house
roof Is the sky.
You cannot get God inside four
walls and roof. Limitations. roofs
OF any kind. are absurd. The universe
cannot contain Him. And this altar
reminds you Of that
Around about is great park, full
or secular trees. You penetrate this
Wood, and come to vast Enclosure
surrounded by q low wall, capped
with blue tiles.
Every church ought to be in grove
OF trees or by the many-vofced sea-
There ought to be something about
every religious structure to rebuke
proY1nclalism. to suggest the infinite
within the great square. inclosed
by this outer wall. Is a circular space
inclosed by another wall.
Within this is the altar. 1 shall not
attempt to describe it. You can find
the details In any guide book.
Suffice 1t to say, it is about the
simplest thing imaginable, and about
the sort of thing any one would sup
pose an altar to be.
There Is first a large circular plat
form, within and upon this another
and still another. three gigantic
stages leading to the top. The top is
stones. and contains that most i'm
pressive Of all things In heaven or
earth:
Nothing.
There you are. on the top Of the
worlds greatest altar: around you are
great trees; above you is the blue
Heaven, with its drifting white
clouds.
In the days OF the empire. <he
emperor used to sacrifice here. Even
stood on the grade below. On top
were only the sacrifices. the chosen
of the f1ocks. of the fields and Of the
goods made by men.
The sacrificial ceremony used to
take place just before dawn. 1t must
have been an impressive sight: the
emperor praying for his people, all
around and beneath him the throng
Of mobiles In full array, and above
them the brooding silence OF the sky.
/ know of no place where I have
felt nearer to Divinity. Beside the
simple majesty of this. st. Peters at
Rome looks like an opera house, the
Pyramids of Egypt are toys, the
Pantheon at Athens seems an affec-
tation.
1t must have been indeed a great
and noble race that could produce
such thing, a singularly clear and
inspired genius that could have con-
ceived ii.
1t is the hallelujah chorus in stone.
Some day when sectarianism and
the strife of theologians shall have
been spent, and the world turns from
the contention Of logic to that unity
of the spirit which is the bond of
peace" there shall gather about this
Altar of Heaven a multitude of every
race and cline. and lift their voices
in one magnificent chorus of praise
to the one God Of all the earth.
