The following is the second in a
series of articles written for The
Chronicle by Dr. T Layton Fraser,
of the Bible Department of Pres
byterian College, who is on a tour
of Europe and the Holy Land.

We are having a wonderful time
la Egypt after thinking at one time
that our coming was hopeless We
got as far as Beirut on the way
here but had to fly back to Athens
and wait a few days Our tour Is
made under some difficulties, bu:
it is worth It
Athens is a moat interesting city,
with its Greek mythology, its his
lary of Chrtstiamt) and It* swarm
mg humanity Expecting people to
be killed at any moment, with the
bus or taxi cutting through the hu
man mass as a boat parts the wa
ter, one keeps his feet pressed
against the floorboard, but I've
seen no one killed yet. Both old and
and young take it in their stride
and one missed “by a hair.” Away
from this we spent a while one
afternoon that was pleasant indeed.
After a refreshing swim in the
clean, cool Agean Sea, and a climb
to the ancient temple of Neptune,
the "god of the sea,” overlooking
the part of Attica (ancient Greece)
to watch the sunset, we were ready
for the delicious Grecian dinner
that was served m the cooling
logy than in the history of Chris-
tiaalty, but fortunately we knew
something about the latter, and
found the places msde significant
by the visit of the Apostle Paul both
to Athens and Connth. Our first
day was quite full. We went first
to ancient Corinth, approximately
40 miles from Athens. On the way,
I was impressed by the olive
groves, donkeys, goats and olean
ders. The olive groves reminded
me of the peach orchards' back
home. There is one great differ
ence. When a peach tree becomes
old it is pulled up and a new one
is planted. When an olive tree be
comes old it is pruned and new
branches come from the old trunk.
Some of those we saw were folu-
rishing at the grand old age of 100
to 200 years of age
Out in the country from Athens,
donkeys furnish a good portion of
the transportation. Sometimes one
carried on his back a woman and
a child, sometimes a man, and
sometimes a load of wood or brush
with very little of the donkey show
ing. He steps right along, however,
as if not concerned.
Along the way at one place, the
slopes are STeep and there have
been many landslides. There is a
legend that Skyron, the “awful
master,” was the god who destroy
ed those who passed by, hurling
rocks at them. Thesseus is said to
have liberated the countryside from
Skyron and founded Athens, be
coming its first king. It is from the
rocks “hurled down by Skyron"
that comes the terih, "Skyronian
Rocks.” We crossed the Corinthian
Canal, that makes quite a gorge.
It is only four miles long, but cuts
through the narrow isthmus that
connects the great Peloponesian
Peninsula with the rest of Greece.
Nero, emperor of Rome, began the
canal in 63 A D He played on his
harp and sang a song to Neptune,
and then took a golden spade and
turned the first aoll to begin »Om mp from the Ionian Sea to the place
conatruction When the canal waa
dug. aomeone warned him that the
whole peninsula. would be washed
away by the aea, ao he had it filled
up again At about the end of the
19thr»eentury. the canal was com
pleted again and opened for travel.
Ancient Corinth waa located close
to the western side of this four-mile
wide isthmus, and was a busy sea
port for both the Ionian and Agean
Seas. Because oi^ its great corrup
tion, the Apostle Paul came to this
ctiy about January 1, 50 A. D., to
preach salvation through Christ.
It was in Corinth that Paul met
Aquila and Priscilla, Jews who,
with others, had been forced by
Claudius Caesar to leave Rome.
They were tent makers, so Paul
worked with them. We are told in
Acts 18 that Paul reasoned in the
synagogue every Sabbath, and per
suaded the Jews and the Greeks
He testified to them that Jesus was
Christ. He remained there a year
and a half preaching and teaching.
judgment They were simple
stone steps, worn by the treed of
many feet—two of which one can
be sure were those of the apostle
himself When I climbed those
steps. I felt thst I was on holy
ground
