same breath he launches the third thi n
derbolt, which to them Is more fiery
more terrible, more demolishing tha'
the others, as he cries out, "hath made
of one blood all nations." Oh, Paul!
you forget you are spr,iking to the
proudest and most exclusive audience
in the world. Do notsay "of one blood."
You cannot mean that. Had Socrates
and Plato and Demo thenes and Solon
;4nd Lycorgus and Drilco and Sophocles
; id Euripides and A viylus and Peri
c.es and Phidias and liltiades bloo
just like the 1 ersians, lil n the Turki,
like the Egyptians, )ike the common
herd of hinnauity? "Yes," says Paul,
"of one blood all nations."
Surely that must be the closing para
graph of the sermon. ills auditors
must let up from Ohe nervous strain.
Paul has smashed the A:-ropolis and
smashed the natioial pride oi t he
ureeks, and what more cani he s;lv
Those Grecian orators, standing on that
place, always closed their address:s
with something sublime and cliwac
tric-a peroratiou-atid Paul is going
to give them a peroration which will
eclipse in power and inagesty all that
lie has yet said. ieretofore lie has hurl
ed one thunderbolt at a time; now lie
will close by hurling two at once. Thle
little old muan, under the power of his
speech, has btraightened himself up,
and the stoop has gone out of his shoul
ders, and he looks about three feet tall
er than when he began; and his eye4,
which were quiet, became two llames
of fire; and his face, which was calm in
the introduct lon, now depicts a whirl -
wind of emotion a- he ties the two
tounderbells together with a cord of in
consumable courage and hurls theim at
the crowd now standirg or sitting
aghast-the two thundei bolts of Resui
rection and Last Judgment. His clos
ing words were, "Because he hat h ap
pointed a day in which lie will judge
the world in righteousness by that nan
whom lie hath ordained, whereof he
lmathi given assurance unto all men in
iat he bath raised him from the
(lead."
Remember those thoughts wete to
them novel and provocative; that Christ,
the despised ANazarene, would come to
be their judge, and they should have to
get up out of their c( meteries to stand
btefore him and take their eternal dooim.
Mightiest burst of elocutionary 1ow-r
ever heard. The ancestors of some of
those Greeks had heard Demosthenes
in his oration on the crown, had heard
.Eschines in his speeches against 'fim
archus and Ctesiption, had heard Plato
in his great argument for immortahty
of the soul, had heard Socrates on his
deattibed, suicidal cup of hemlock in
hand, leave his hearers in emotion too
gream to bear; had in the theater of
ionysuis at the foot of the Acropolis
(the ruins of its piled up amphitntater
aiid the marble floor of its orchestra
still there) seen enacted the tragedits
of Eichylus and Sophocl-s, but neither
had the ancestors of these Grecians on
Mars Hill or themselves ever heard or
witnessed such tornadoes of moral
Iower as that with which Paul now
whelmed his hearers. At thcso two
thoughts of resurrection and judgiient
the audience sprang to their feet. Some
iloved they adjourn to soie other day
to hear more on the same theme, but
others would have torn the sacred orator
to pieces.
The record says: "Some mocked." I
suppose it means that they mimicked
the solemnity of his voice; that they
took off his impassioned gesticulat ions
and they cried out: "Jew! Jew! Where
did you study rhetoric? You ought to
hear our orators speak! You had bet
ter go back to your business of tent
making. Our Lycurgus knew more in
a minute thain you will know in a month.
Say, where did you get that crooked
back, and those weak eyes from ? la!
ha! You try to teach us Grecians! What
i' mnense you talk about when you
speak of resurrection andl judgment.
So w, little 01(d man, climnb down tihe side
ol' Mars 111ll and get out of sight as
soon as possible." "Some mocked."
liut that scene adjourned to the day of
which the sacred orator had spoken
the day of resurrection and judgment.
As in Athens, that evening in 1889,
we climbed down the pile of slippery'
rocks, where all this had occurred, on
our way back to our hotel, I st,ood half
way between the Acropolms and M\ars
in the gathering shadow sof eventide,
I seemed to hear those two hills ini sub
lime and awful converse. "1 am chief
ly of the past ;" said the Acropolis. "I
am chiefly of the future," replied Alars
111ill. TIhe Acropolis said: "Mly orators
are deaid. Mly lawgivers are dead. Aly
poets are (lead. My architects are deadl.
My scup)tors are dead. I am a monu
ment of the dead pas'.. I shall never,
never again hear a song suing. I wil
never agamn see a coluuinn lifted. I
will never again behold a goddess
crowned."
Mlars 111ll responded: "I too, hav ~e a
histor-y.. I had on miy heights warriors
who will never again uneiath thle
sword, and judges who will never again
uittei- a doomi and orators who wvil
never again make a plea. But my in
Iluence is to be miore in the fut ure than
it ever was in the past. 'rhe words that
mllissionlary, P'aul, uttere,i that exciting
.1aay in the he'aring of the wi.iest meni
imnd the populace on my rocky shoul
:1cmrs have only begun their mnaje-stic
role; the brotherhood of man, and the
Chirist of God, and the peroration of
resur rectioni andl last j udgmenit, wi th
which the~ Tarsiari orator closedh hi. ser
mon that dlay amid the mocking cr ow
shiall yet reovolutionmize the planet. Oh,
A~cropolis! I have stood here long
enough to witniess that 3 ourim gods are
10 godfs at all. Your I orens could ni-t
30ntrol thue winds. Y our Neptuiie could
io0 miana.ge thle sea. Your A polloh
iever evoked a imusical none. You r
fd Ceres never grew a harvest. Your
foddess of wisdom, Minerva, neve-r
new the G reek alphabet. Y (il r .ii u
:er could not handle the 1mghtnings.
lInt the God whom I proclaimed oni Ine
himy when Paul preachi d bef ore t lie
estounded assemnblage on my rough
beighits is the Glod of music, the God of
wisdom, the God of power, the God of
love, the God of storms, the God 01 semn
shine, the God of the land amid the God
0f the' sea, ihe God over all, blessed for
eve('r."
Trhen thme Acropolis spake and said,
as though in self defense, "Miy P lato
atrguedt tor the immortality of thie soul,
aiid my Socrates praised virtue, and my
Miltiades at Marathon (drove back the
P'ersian oppressors." "Yes," said Mars
11111, "your Plato laboriously guessed at
the immortality of the soul, but. my
Paul, divinely inspired, declared it a.s a
fact straight from God. Your Socrates
p,ralsed virtue, but expired ais a suiicidle.
I.our Miltiades was brave against
earthly fnas, yet (lied from a wondne
ignoininiousily gott.n in alter defeat

29th of June, in the year 66, ou th(
road to Ostia, after the sword of tih
