C.V NE of the most remarkable ac complishments Id uncovering the secrets of the past In the Western hemisphere was the discovery a few years ago of Macliu Picchu, hidden refuge city of^be In cas, in the mountain fastnesses of Peru. The discovery was made by an expedition sent out by the National Geographic society and Jfale univer- ^^ty under the leadership of Prof. HI- Bingham, now United States sen ^P^or from Connecticut. There is no part of the world which offers to the scientific explorer a more attractive field than the highlands of Peru and Bolivia. /In the first plape, this region con-* tains the vestiges of the most ancient and most advanced culture in South America. These remains consist in part of the ruins' of roads and aque ducts; walls and terraces, fortresses, towns and cities. Besides the works of the ancient engineers and architects, there are the fragmentary remains of the aficient metallurgists' potters, and I weavers. Here and there In old burial reaves may be found specimens of j bronze and silver ornaments, tools i and utensils. Originally there was 1 considerable gold lo he found; but 1 four centuries of treasure seekers j have left so little in the way of pre- | cions metals for the, modern explorer • that he must have other objects In • view or he will^he sadly disappointed. The larger part of the population i of this lofty American Tibet today U composed of non-Spanish speaking j lndians. Their commonest language Is Medina or qulchua. f The histrrieal geography of the .'Andes of Peru and Bolivia offers a series of problems of Intense inter est. These Include the oiigin of the [ ancient cities, such as Tiahuanaco, Cuzco, and Machu Picchu; the rela tion of the different types of nrehitec- ; ture, including the nibnolithle, r the ; adobe, and the rubble; the question of !the migration of races, the spread of j the ancient civilization, and the se- 'quence of cultures, beside^ a thou- |sand and one queries as to the man- | ners and customs, government, re- jKgion, and philosophy of those illlter* •ate but very skillful-engineers and jaoalierg, the Ideas, and their prede- jeefrtors, tii'e “Megallthfc Folk.” Nad System of Highways. ^HMncliu Picchu was first found after pT climb over mountain ridaes and |along she^r cliffs. Later the remains J of ofd highways were found. It thus I appears that the builders of Maehif^ {Picchu had an elaborate systenr of j highways throughout this little knWn and almost unexplored country which jlies between the Urubamba valley and —^ttre AfnifTmac. This - region was once densely populated, and Maehii Picchu ■ ! was its capital. There are no other j ruins in the region that approach the hidden city In magnificencer although no means of preventing the roots of fbrest trees froiu penetrating the '•walls and eventually tearing theih all down. In several cases gigantic trees were found perched on the very tips of the gable ends of smaM and beau tifully constructed houses. It was difficult to cut down and get su£li trees out of the way without seriously damaging the house walls. v City of Refuge. Machu Picchu was essentially a city, of refuge. It is perched on a moun tain top in the most inaccessible corner of the most inaccessible sec tion of the Urubamba river. Apparent- i/ there is no part of the Andes that has been better defended by nature. A stupendous canyon, where the principal rock Is granite anywhere the precipices are frequently over 1,- (WO feet sheer, presents difficulties of attack and facilities for defense sec ond to none. Here on a narrow ridge, flanked on all sides by precipitous or , nearly precipitous slopes, a highly Though pre\ented oy the crowd “'civilized people—artistic, inventive, coming to Jasus, they ascended and capable of sustained endeavor—at some time In the remete past built themselves a city of refuge. Since they had no iron'or steel tools—only stone hammers—its con struction must* have cost many gen erations, If not centuries, of effort. Across the •*idge, and defending the builders, from attack on the side of LESSON TEXT*—Mark GOLDEN TEXT—I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repent ance.

So ;great was the crowd gathered : about the house where Jesus was stop- t ping, that there was no room to re- j ceived them. As soon as It was noised I about that Jesus was in the house, the : multitudes gathered. 2. What Jfe^us preached unto them f (y. 2). He preached unto them .the Word, ; of God. He always preached the [ Word before He wrought miracles, for to make knowm the will of God was Is supreme mission. Miracles were not an end In tbemseives, but to au thenticate • His work. The people came, some to be healed, and some out of curiosity. He gave them that which they, needed, regardless qf the motive which actuated their coming. II. Jesus Forgiving Sins (vv. 3-5) / The roan brought to Him was suf fering from the dread disease of pal sy, hut hia most deadly affliction was that of sin. This miracle was wrought by . Jesus in ^confirmation of Hia mes sage. 1. Faith coming to Jesus (v. 3). The actuating Impulse of the pal sied man and the four friends who carried him was faith. 2. Faith overcoming difficulties (v. 4). the outer stairway and let the af flicted man down through the roof. 3. Faith rewarded (v. 5). No word was uttered either by the paralytic or his bearers. Th^ir ac tion was enough. The paralytic got more than he expected. He desired healing of the body and he got bodily healing plus forgiveness of sins. the main mountain range,^ they-conr* - ^" **** ^ e,u, Answering tbe Scribe* T [there are a great/jjHiny w^hose archi tecture bears a striking resemblance to the less Important^ buildings In Machu Picchu itself, js Study of the remains found at Machu Picchu indicate that we have here an essentially Inca city, using the term Inca in its most/reasonable senSe—that is. to designate the tribes nn<J nations that occupied the Imnjor part of the central Andes from earliest times down to the Spanish conquest. Lack of timber, the prevalence of. v i M jiv still be'seen. strueted Two walls. One of them, con stituting “the outer line .of defense, leads from precipice to precipice, utilizing as best it can the natural steepness of the hill. Beyond this, and on top, of the mountain called Machu Picchu, which overlooks the valley from the very summit of one of the most stupendous precipices in the canyon, Is constructed a signal station, from which the ap proach of an enemy could be instantly communicated to the city below. With in the outer wall they constructed an extensive series of agricultural ter races, stone lined and averaging about eigbt feet htglw- Between these and the city Is a steep, dry moat and the Inner wall. When the members of an attacking force had safely . negotiated the precipitous and easily defended sides " Of. the moat, they would still find themselves outside the Inner defenses of the city, which consisted of a wall from fifteen to tweifty feet high, com posed of the largest stones that couhl be fouqd In the vicinity—many of them huge bowlders weighing many tons. This wall Is carried straight across the ridge from one precipitous side to the other. These defenses are/ on the .south "Sitle of the city. On the north side, on, the narrow ridge connecting the city with Huaynn Picchu, strong defensive terraces were strategically placed so ns to render nil the danger of an attack on this side. - , . Construction of the Houses.' On entering the city, perhaps the first eharacteriMle ~Hmt strikes -one is that a large majority of the houses were a story and a half in ,height, with gable ends, and that these gable ends are marked by cylindrical blocks projecting out from tlte, house in such a way as to suggest the idea of the ends of the rafters. The wooden rafters have all. .disappeared, but the ring-stones to which they, were tied heavy rains during part of th^ year and the ease with, which stone might be procured early led to the develop ment of stone as a building material. Strength and permanence were se cured through the keying together of Irregular blocks. The upper and lower surface of these stone? were’ fre quently convexed or concaved,_the convexity of one stone approximating 'the concavity of the adjoining stone. In c« nstnicting their walls the pure arch was not evolved. They developed several Ingenious devices, such as “lock-holes” fop- fa$teninjT~ the bar of a door ; “ring-stones.” which ^Bre inserted in the gables to enable roofing beams to be tied on; pro jecting stone-cylinders, which, could be used as points to which to tie the roof and keep It from blowing off. The ancient builders also provided for ventilation and drainage. Although the buildings are extreme ly well built, there Is no cement or mortar In the masonry, and there is The next most conspicuous feature of* Machu Picchu is' the quantity of stairways, there being over 100, large and small, within the city. Some of them have more than h**) steps, whllo . otliers have but three or four. Un some cases each step is a single block of stone 3 or 4 feet wide. In others the entire etairway—six, eight, or ten steps, as the case might >x be—was cur out of a single granite boulder. The largest level space in the city was carefully graded and terraced, so as to be used for agricultural pur- imses, on the products of which the Inhabitants could fall back for a time In case of a siege. . . It seems probable that one reason why the city was deserted was a change in climate, resulting In scar city of water supply. At the present time there are only three small springs on the mountain side, and In the dry season-these could barely furnish wa ter enough for cooking and drinking purposes for 40 or 00 people. ^ HIIKIIiltlHIIIII!

(2) Who CRn forgive sin? .They were entirely right Inr their reasonings that only God can forgive sins. Their blunder was in not per ceiving Him to be God. - / 2. Jesus’ answer (vv. 8-10). , / He knew their inner thought? and reasonings and manifested unto them His essential deity in that He had power to know their thought^/ He in quired, "Which is easier to say, thy sins be forgiven thee, or to say, arise and take up thy bed and walk? But that ye may know thaA the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sing. He saith. to the sick of the palsy, >1 say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine housed He was willing that His power in the invisible realm should be tested by His power in the visible. * IV. Jesus Healing the Paralytic (vv. 11, m. 1. /His healing, was by the direct method—speaking the Word~Tv. 11). Christ's words are enough. With the /command was given the strength to obey. That which Christ commands He gives.the strength to perform. 2. The obedience of the .man (v. 12). He immediately aros£, took up his bed and went forth before them all. The popr helpless man walked away with his bed upon 4«s shoulder. 3. The people were amazed, and glorified-God (v. 12). They said, "We never saw it on this fashion.” V. Jeiu8~"Eating With Publicans and Sinner* (vv. 13-17). - 1. The call of Levi (v. 14). Lpvl was .a tax-gatherer under the Roman government. As Jesus passed by, He commanded Levi to leave his business and follow Him. 2. Jesus dining in Levi’s house (v. 15). It seems that Levi, when he found the Savior, invited many of his business associates to eat with him. This gave an opportunity to Jesus’ to come Into touch with these sin ners. * 3. The perplexed scribes and phari sees (v. 16). They asked, “How is it that He eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?” . 4. Jesus' reply (v. 17). „ “They that are whole have no need of the physi cian. 1 came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” I N S U R ANCE / FIRE / WINDSTORM PUBLIC LIABILITY ACCIDENT - HEALTH SURETY BONDS - AUTOMOBILE THEFT Calhoun and Co.
