AN ARCHITECTURAL MARVEL 8t 8ophia arid Its Wonderful Dome That Is Said to Be Doomed. Tbe world would mourn were the great dome of St. Sopblu to fall. There are persistent reports that tbe struc ture Is In dunger. (hut tbe masonry Is rotten and crumbling aud tout tbe final doom of tbe edtlk-e U out far off. When It. Is remembered that St So phia was built iu the sixth century, that it bus foe more than blrteeo cen turies withstood tbe vicissitudes of Ores, earthquakes, sackings and bom bardments, ruin and wind, beat and cold, tbe marvel Is taut it bus endured so long. . (laving atood. through all these ages, there will be tbe keenest regret If it finally yields to the destruc tive forces of nature. St Sophia Is often spoken of as the grandest monument of Christian archi tecture. - If Is the perfection of tbe Byzantine style, differing from tbe ear ly Romanesque and late renaissance of western Europe and tbe beuutlfui Gothic wblc-b must be considered tbe Ideal of ecclesiastical architecture. II may not be us Impressive ss other great- edifices built from Bve to ten centuries Inter, but Its strength, solid It? and grandeur, together with IU great antiquity, gle it a place unique among churches. Tbe collapse of St. Sophia's domt would be a greater loss tuuu was ujo fall of the Venetian campanile, and its reconstruction would be utterly lnipos sible.

That Is All There Is tilefore You, 8o De It to Perfection, You have a bard tblng to do. So hard It Is that your breuth comes short when you think -of it and yonr heart lts down and becomes a bottomless pit of denpondency. If you let it go on sinking down and down you are done for. so stop it! Climb up again and look around. Too underrate your own courage II you tell yourself yon cannot accom plish this task which looms before yon. Men have done great things before now things which make one gasp at the splendor and glory of . human achievement Do you think their henrts never failed tbem: that they never looked forward wltb otter weari ness to tbe heights they must climb and tbe sess they must cross and tbe years they must wait before success crowns tbem I Row rtld hy mitinpe MT The secret is simple. Through the eyes of imagination they pli-tun-d their distant goal as close to them: they sow it only one day shead. Then they Old one day's work cheer fully, hopefully. And still tbe goal was one day dints nt only one day and. In fact It bad been brought one day nearer. Sometimes through weariness or dis couragement tbe goal vanished from sight but the acquired habit of plod ding on steadfastly, step by step, one dny at a time, from hour to hour, brought them close to it in spite of thniHclvp. And so. aecew-srtly. at last they "arrived." Far tanks In hours of Instfrnt willed Can lx through hour of (loom fulfilled. Never were truer words spoken. Let us make the moM of our "hours of insight." never thinking of the vis ions we see in them as delnslre dreams and Impossible Ideals-London Express. FCT SALE A Mormon Scraper.
