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. Tbe problems of Its building
were so lutrlc-ute and complex that tbe

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
