grants left Sybaris as early as
900 BIC. and travelled west
ward in galleys until they
reached Paestum, a harbor on
the Salernian Bay. Thence
they went inland, making
settlements, building cities and
rearing temples to their an
Cient gods, spreading Hellenic
art, learning and culture as
they advanced.
One of the principal out
posts of Greece in Italy was
near Salerno. In a field out
side that city are the remains
of three magnificent Doric
temples, built by the Greek
emigrants from Sybaris. There
they worShiped PoSeidon and
Ceres and gave thanks for the
fine harvests in their new
homeland.
PaeStum is now being exca-
waited by archaeologists and ex-
perts are endeavoring to recon
Struct the town so that the full
story of the Greek colonization
of Italy may be revealed. The
streets and avenues, the walls
and gates, the great temples of
Ceres, PoSeidon and Neptune,
the lovely private houses and
the great public forum will all
show what knowledge the
Greeks possessed when it came
to toWn-planning.
Excavation and reconstruction
work now going on shows the
city of PoSeidon was built like a
fortress, with tremendous walls,
thick and high. The four city
gates are in a fine state of
preservation.
In the streets are great slabs
Of travertine marble, and there
are arcades of shops that show
the influence of imperial Rome
after the city had been besieged
and taken by the Roman le-
gions. Near the enormous
forum are colonnades and ave

Paestum-Where Greece Took
Root in Italy

Paestum-Where Greece Took
Root in Italy
One has only to delve into
the past to realize how little
there is that is really new,
SO far as the underlying causes
that make history are con-
cerned, anyway. Lately, for
example, there has been much
discussion about the colonial
policy of Japan and the neces-
sity for more land for her
overcrowded population. Even
in ancient times the same need
led to the creation of colonial
empires.
For counterpart, turn to
the history of ancient Greece
and read how a population of
over 1000, ,O00 found their coun-
try overcrowded and set out to
find new lands in which to
settle and grow. Today let
us visit some of their outposts
and find the early traces Of
these Greek pioneers.
All along the shore Of the
Mediterranean and the Black
Sea are to be found still the
evidences OF Greek colonial
ton. Knowing Greek civiliza-
ton, one is not surprised to
discover that these emigrants
had ever before them the pur-
pose to make their new homes
typical of Greek culture at its
highest and best.
Southern Italy was deemed
ideal by the ancient Greeks
for their colonization schemes.
1t had ample harbors and its
rich soil could grow all the
fruits and grains that were in
digenous to Greece. The vine
yards and olive groves that
mean so much to the Italy of
today were first planted by
these Greek pioneers in their
new homeland, which they
named New Greece.
This migration took place
many centuries before the birth

picked could do a lot Of good by
distributing them among the
less fortunate, who have little
opportunity to enjoy such
beauty.
In all large cities there are
many thousands of children
whose hearts would be glad
dened by such gifts.
Also it is a fine thing to de-
liver flowers to Shut-ins, unable
to go where they might enjoy
the sight of flowers.
Don't let your flowers go to
waste.
Why not start today distribut-
ing them among those who

lesson-sermon in all Churches of
Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, March
27.
Among the citations which COM
prise the 1esson-sermon is the fol-
lowing from the Bible:
90 Lord, Thou art My God: will exalt
Thee, I will praise Thy name: for Thou
hast done wonderful things; Thy coun-
sells of old are faithfulness and truth
And he will destroy in this mountain the
face of the covering cast over all people
and the vail that is spread over all ma
tions. He will swallow UP death in vic
tory, and the Lord God will wipe away
tears from off all faces, and the rebuke
of his people shall He take away from
off all the earth, for the Lord hath spoken
it, lisa. rs: 1. Z, 81.
The leSson-sermon also includes
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, Science
and Health, with Key to the Scrip
tures," by Mary Baker Eddy:
1.-THE Bible declares: All things were
made by Him (the divine world; and with
