DR. TALMAOE PREACHES ADOUT
PAUL IN THE CITY OF ATHENS.
A Wonderful Oration licforo tho Greek
Wise Sinn Wlilrli Tolil Them the
GrruteKt Trillin Tlielr Kara Hml Rver
Listened To.
IJliooKLYA', Nov. 22. The eongrega-
f ion at the Tabernacle, led by coi net !
and organ. King this morning with
great power tho hymn of Isaac Watts,
beginning:
Onr God, our help In ages past.
Our hope for )eara to como.
The sermon, which was on tho Acrop
olis, is tho sixth of the series Dr. Tal
mago is preaching on tho subjects sug
gested by his tour In Dlblo lands. His
text was taken from Acts xvil, 10.
"Whilo Paul waited for thetu at Athens
his spirit was stirred In him, when he
saw tho city wholly given to Idolatry. '
It seemed as If morning would never
come. We had arrived after dark In
Athens, Greece, and tho night was
sleepless with expectation, and my
watch slowly announced to mo one
and two and three and four o'clock,
and at tho first ray of da,wn I called
our party to look out of the window
upon that city to which Paul said he"
was a debtor, and to which the whole
earth is debtor for Greek architecture,
Greek sculpture, Greek poetry, Greek
eloquence, Greek prowess and Greek
history.
That morning In Athens wo sauntered
forth armed with most generous and
lovely letters from the president of tho
United States and his secretary of state,
and during all our stay In that city
thoso letters caused overy door and
every gato and every tomplo and overy
palaco to swing open before us. The
mightiest geographical namo on earth
today is America. Tho signature of an
American president and secretary of
stato will tako a man whero an army
could not.
Those names brought us into tho
presonco of a most gracious and beauti
ful sovereign, tho queen of Greece, and
her cordiality was moro liko that of a
sister than tho occupant of a throno
room. No formal bow, as whon rami
arclis are approached, but a cordial
shako of tho hand and earnest ques
tions about our personal welfaro and
our beloved country far away. Hut
this morning wo pass through where
stood tho Agora, tho ancient markot
placo, tho locality where philosophers
used to meet their disciples, walking
whilo they talked, and whero Paul, tho
Christian logician, tlung mnny n proud
Stoic, and got tho laugh on many an
Impertinent Epicurean.
THIt ATHKNIAN MAKKKT TIjACIC.
Tho markot placo was tho conter of
social and political life, and It was tho
placo where pooplo went to toll and
hear tho news. Mootlis and bazaars
woro set up for morchandlso of all
kinds, except meat; but everything
must bo sold for cash, and thero must
bo no lying about tho valuo of com
modities, and tho Agoranomi who ruled
tho placo could Inllict sovoro punish
moiit upon oflondors. Tho dlllorent
schools of thinkers had distinct places
sot apart for convocation. Tho Pin
tccans must moot at tho choose markot,
tho Decollans at tho barber shop, tho
sollors of perfumes at tho frankluconso
headquarters.
Tho markot placo was a spaco thrco
hundred and Hfty yards long and two
hundred and fifty wide, and It was
given up to gossip and morohandiso
and lounging and philosophizing. All
this you nood to know In ordor to
understand tho Blblo whon it says of
Paul, "Thoroforo disputed ho In tho
market dally with them that mot him."
You boo It was tho host place to got an
audience, and If a man fools himself
called to preach ho wants pooplo to
preach to. Hut before wo make our
clilof visits of today wo must tako a
turn at tho Stadium. It is a llttlo way
but, but go wo must. Tho Stadium
was tho placo whoro tho foot races oc
curred. Paul had been out thorn uo doubt,
for lie frequently uses tho scenes of
that placo as figures whon ho tolls us,
"Lot us run tho raco that Is set before
us," and again, "They do It to obtain
n corruptible garland, but wo aro an
Incorruptible " Tho marblo and tho
gilding have been removed, but tho
high mounds against which tho scats
woro piled aro still thero. Tho Stadium
is six hundred and eighty feet long, ono
hundred and thirty foot wide and hold
forty thousand spectators.
There is today tho vory tunnel
through which tho defeated rnoor do
parted from tho Stadium and from tho
hisses of tho pooplo, and tlioro aro tho
stairs up which tho victor went to tho
top of tho hill to bo crowned with tho
laurel. In this place contest with wild
beasts sometimes took place, and while
Hadrian, tho emperor, sat on yonder
height, ono thousand beosta woro slain
hi ono celebration.
Hut it was chiefly for foot racing,
and so I proposed to my friend that
day whilo wo were in tho Stadium that
wo try which of us could run tho sooner
from ond to end of this historical
ground, and so at tho word given by
tho lookers on wo started sldo by side,
but before I got through I found out
what Tftul meant when ho compares
the spiritual raco with tho raco hi thU
very Stadium, as ho wiyn, "Lay ntldo '
Yry weight," My heavy overcoat and
my friend's freedom from such hiciim- '
Itmnee showed tho advantage In any '
kbtdl of h raco of "laying ruldo overy '
fwfcht."
TU WONDERFUL ACUOPOU8,
W 90BM bow to the Acropolle. It
bftrMkftlKMt tw wQm in piroum
ferenco at tho base and a thousand feet
In circumference at tho top, and thrco
hundred feet high. On it has been
crowded moro elaborate architecture
and sculpture than In any other placo
under tho wholo heavens. Originally
a fortress, afterward a congregation of
temples and statues and pillars, their
ruins an enchantment from which no
observer over breaks. No wonder that
Aristides thought it the center of all
things Greece, the center of tho world;
Attica, tho center of Greece; Athens,
tho center of Attica, and tho Acropolis
tho center of Athens. Earthquakes
have shaken It; Verres plundered it.
Lord Elgin, the English embassador
at Constantinople, got permission of tho
sultan to remove from tho Acropolis
fallen pieces of tiio building, but ho
took from the building to England the
Hnest statues, removing them at an ex
ponko of eight hundred thousand dol
lars. A storm overthrew many of tho
statues of tho Acropolis. Morosini, tho
general, attempted to remove from a
pediment tho sculptured car and horses
of Victory, but tho clumsy machinery
dropped it, and all was lost.
The Turks turned the building into
3 powder magazine whore tho Venetian
guns dropped a tiro that by explosion
iiuit tho columns Jlying in tho air and
fulling cracked and splintered. Dut
after all that thno and storm and war
and iconoclasm havo cilected, tho
Acropollsis the monarch of all ruins, and
before it bow tho learning, the genius,
tho poetry, tho art, tho history of tho
'igcs. I saw it as it was thousands of
years ago. I had read so much about
it and dreamed so muoli about it, that
L needed no magician's wand to re
store it.
At one wuvo of my hand on that
clear morning in 1889 it rose before
mo In tho glory It had whon Pericles
ordered it and Ictlnus planned it and
Phidias chiseled it and Protogincs
painted it and Pausanias doscrlbed it,
Its gates, which woro carefully guarded
by tho ancients, open to lot you in, and
you ascend by sixty marblo stops tho
propyhea, which Epaminodas wanted
to transfer to Thobes, but permission,
I uiu glad to say, could not bo granted
for tho removal of this architectural
miracle.
In tho days when ten cents would do
moro than a dollar now, the building
cost two million three hundred thou
sand dollars. Seo its flvo ornamented
gates, tho koys Intrusted to an olllcer
for only ono day lest tho temptation to
go in and misappropriate tho treasures
bo too .great for him; its celling a
mingling of bluo and scarlot and green,
and tho walls abloom with pictures ut
most in thought and coloring, Yondor
is a tcmplo to a goddess called "Victory
Without Wings."
So many of tho triumphs of tho world
had boon followed by dofoat that tho
Greeks wished in marblo to Indicate
that victory for Athons had come novor
again to lly away, and honco this tom
plo to "Victory Without Wings" a
tomplo of marblo, snow white and glit
tering. Yonder, behold tho pedestal
of Agrippa, twenty-seven foet high and
twolvo square. But tho overshadowing
wonder of all tho hill Is tho Parthenon.
In days whon monoy was ton times
more valuablo than now it cost
four million six hundred thousand
dollars. It Is a Doric grandour,
having forty-six columns, each col
umn thirty-four foot high and six feot
two inches in diameter. Wondrous in
torcoluiuniatlonsl Painted porticoes,
architraves tinged with oohor, shields
of gold hung up, lines of most delicate
curve, figures of horses and men and
women and gods, oxen on tho way to
sacrlllco, Btatues of tho doltles Diony
slus, Prometheus, Hermes, Dometor,
Zeus, Hera, Poseidon; hi ono frieze
twelve divinities; contaurs In battlo;
weaponry from Marathon; chariot of
night; chariot of tho morning; horses
of the sun, tho fates, tho furies; statuo
of Jupiter holding in his right hand tho
thunderbolt; silver footed chair In
which Xorxos watched tho battlo of
Salamls only a fow miles away.
MINKKVA 1ST KUI.Ii AK.MOK.
Hero Is tho colossal statue of Minerva
In full armor, eyes of gray colored
stone, figure of a Sphinx, on her head,
grlflliis by her sldo (which aro lions
with eagle's beak), spear In ono hand,
statuo of llborty in tho other, a shield
carved with battlo scenes, and even tho
slippers sculptured and tied on with
thongs of gold. Far out at sea tho
sailors saw this statuo of Minerva rising
high above all tho temples, glittering
In tho sun. Hero aro statuo of eques
trians, statuo of a lioness, and there aro
tho Graces and yondor a horse In
brouzo.
There Is a statue Bald in tho time ot
Augustus to havo of Its own accord
turned around from east to west and
spit blood; statues made out of shields
conquered In battle; statuo of Apollo,
tho cxpoller of locusts; statue of An
noreon, drunk and singing; statuo of
Olympodorus, a Greek, memorable for
tho fact that ho won choorful when
others woro cast down, a trait worthy
of bculpture. Dut walk on and around
tho Acropolis, and yonder you seo a
statuo or Hygola, and tho statuo of
Theseus lighting tho Minotaur, and tho
statuo of Hercules slaying wrpenU.
No wonder that Potronlus wild it waa
easier to find a god than a man In
Athons. Oh, tho Acropolis. Tho most
of 1U templed and statues mado from
tho marblo quarries of Mount Penteli
cum, a little way from tho city.
I havo hero on my table a block of
tho Parthenon made out of this marblo,
ond on It is the sculpture of Phidias. I
brouaht it from the Aoronolis. This
specimen ha on It tho dust of agea, I
and tho marks of explosion and battle,
but you ca get from it tome Idea of
th JeUcU lutr of the Acropolli
f " "T- - - -?
when It was covered with a mountain
of tills marble cut into all the exquisite
shapes that genius could contrive and
striped with silver and aflame with
gold. The Acropolis in tho morning
light of those ancients must have shone
as jugh It were an aerolite cost off
from the noonday sun. Tho temples
must have looked liko petrified foam.
Tho wholo Acropolis must have seemed
Itko tho white breakers of tho great
ocean of time.
THL APOSTLK PAUL ON MAltS HILL.
I Hut wo cannot stop longer hero, lor
I there is a hill near by of moro interest, .
' though it lias not ono chip of marble to
suggest u statuo or a temple. Wo has
ten down the Acropolis to ascend the
Areopagus, or Mars Hill, as it is called.
It took only about thrco minutes to
walk tho distance, and the two hill
tops aro so near that what I said In re
ligious discourse on Mars Hill was heard
distinctly by some English gentlemen
on the Acropolis. This Murs Hill is a
rough pile of rock fifty feet high. It
was famous long before New Testa
ment times.
Tho Persians easily und terribly as
saulted tho Acropolis from this hilltop.
Here assembled the court to try crimi
nals. It was held in the nighttime, so
that tho faces of tho Judges could not
be seen, nor tho faces of tho lawyers
who mado tho plea, and so, instead of
a trial being ono of emotion, it must
have been ono of cool Justice; but thero
was ono occasion on this hill memora
ble above all others.
A iittlo man, physically "weak, and
his rhetoric described by himself as
contemptible, had by his sermons
rocked Athens with commotion, and he
was summoned cither by writ of law or
hearty invitation to come upon that
pulpit of rock and give a specimen of
Ills theology. All the wiseacres of Ath
ens turned out and turned up to hear
him. Tho moro venerable of them sat
in an amphitheater, tho granite seats
of which aro still visible, but tho other
people swarmed on all sides of tiio hill
and at tho base of it to hear this man,
whom some called a fanatic and others
called a madcap and others a blas
phemer and others styled contemptu
ously, "This fellow."
Paul arrived in answer to the writ or
invitation, and confronted them and
gave them tho biggest dose that mor
tals ever took. Ho was so built that
nothing could scare him, hud as for Ju
piter and Athenla, tho god and the
goddess whoso images were in full sight
on tho adjoining hill, ho had not so
much regard for them as ho had for the
ant that was crawling in the sand un
der his feet. In that audience were the
goes on to say, God "dwelleth not in
temples mado with hands."
OIi, Paul1 Is not deity moro In the
Parthenon, or more in tho Thescum, or
more In the Ereclithoiuin, or more in
tho temple of Zeus Olymplus than in
tho open air, moro than on the hill
where we aro sitting, moro than on
Mount Hyiiiettus out yonder, from
which tho bees get their honey? "No
morel" responds Paul, "Ho dwelleth
not in temples made with hands."
But surely the preacher on the pul
pit of rock on Mars Hill will stop now.
.His audlenco can endure no more.
Two thunderbolts are enough. No, in
tho samo breath ho launches tho third
thunderbolt, which to them Is moro
fiery, more terrible, more demolishing
than the.others, as ho cries nut: "Hath
made of one blood all nations." Oil,
Paull you forget you are speaking to
tho proudest and most exclusive au
dlenco in the world. Do not say "of
ono blood." You cannot mean that.
Had Socrates nnd Plato and Demos
thenes and Solon and Lycurgus and
Draco nnd Sophocles and Euripides
and Escliylus nnd Pericles and Phidias
and Miltiades blood just like the Per
sians, liko tho Turks, like the Egyp
tians, like the common herd of human
ity? "Yes," Kays Paul, "of one blood,
all nations."
KK3UHHKCTION AND LAST JtrtlOMKNT.
Surely that must be the closing para
graph of tho sermon. His
must bo let up from the nervous strain.
Paul has smashed the Acropolis and
smashed the national pride of the
Greeks, and what moro can he say?
Those Grecian orators, standing on
that placo, always closed their ad
dresses with something sublime and cli
macteric, a peroration, and Paul Isgoing
to give them a peroration which will
eclipse in power and majesty all that
he has yet said. Heretofore ho has
hurled one thunderbolt at a time; now
ho will close by hurling two at once.
The little old man, under tho power
of his speech, lias straightened him
self up and the stoop has gone out
of his shoulders, and ho looks about
three feet taller than whon ho began,
and Ills eyes, which were quiet, became
two Hames of fire, and his face, which
was calm in tho introduction, now do
picts a whirlwind of emotion as lie ties
the two thunderbolts together with a
cord of inconsumable, courago and
hurls them at the crowd now standing
or sitting aghast the two thunderbolts
of Resurrection and Last Judgment.
His closing words were: "Because He
hath appointed a day in which he will
judge the world in righteousness by that
man whom ho hath ordained ; whereof

first orators of tho world, and thoy had , ho ,lnth Bven assurance unto all men
voices like flutes when they were pass
Ivo and like trumpets whon thoy wero
aroused, and I think thoy laughed in
tho sleeves of their gowns as tills insig
nificant looking man roso to speak.
In that audience woro Scholiasts, who
know everything, or thought they did,
and from the end of tho longest hair on
tho top of their craniums to tho end of
tho nail on tho longest too thoy wero
stulled with hypercrltlcism, and thoy
leaned back with a supercilious look to
listen. As In 1889, I stood on that
rock where Paul stood, and a slab of
which I brought from Athens by con
sent of tho queen, through Mr. Tri
coupls, tho primo minister, and had
placed In yonder nieinorlal'wall, I road
tho wholo story, Hiblo In hand.
GOD WHO MA11K TIIK WOULD.'
What I havo so far said in tills dis
course was necessary in ordor that you
may understand tho boldness, tho do
flanco, tho holy recklessness, tho mag
nificence of Paul's speoeh. Tho first
thunderbolt ho launched at the oppo
site hill tho Acropolisthat moment
all aglitter with idols and temples. Ho
cries out, "God, who mado tho world."
Why, thoy thought that Prometheus
mado it, that Mercury mado it, that
Apollo mado It, that Poseidon mado
it, that Eros made it, that
mado it, that Boreas mado It, that it
took all tho gods of tho Parthonon,
yea, all tho gods and goddesses
of tho Acropolis, to make It, and
liero htands a man without any occlesl
astical tltlo, noithor a I). D., nor oven a
rovorvnd, declaring that tho world was
mado by tho Lord of heaven and earth,
and henco tho Inference that all tho
splendid covering of tho Acropolis, so
near that tho pooplo standing on tho
stops of tho Parthenon could hoar it,
was a deceit, a falsehood, a sham, a
blasphemy. Look nt tho faces of the
auditors; thoy aro turning pale, and
then red, and tlion wrathful. There
had been several earthquakes hi that
region, but that was tho severest shock
theso men had over felt.
Tho Persians had bombarded the
Acropolis from tho heights of Mars
Hill, but this Pauline bombardmont
was greater and moro terrific. "What,"
said his hearers, "havo wo beon haul
ing with many yokes of oxen for cen
turies the&o blocks from the quarries of
Mount Pentolloum, and havo wo had
our architects putting up those struc
tures of unparalleled splendor, and
havo wo had the greatest of all sculp
tors, Phidias, with his men, chiseling
away at thoso wondrous pediments,
and cutting away at those friezes, and
havo wo taxed tho nation's resources to
tho utmost, now to bo told that thoso
statues seo nothing, hear nothing, know
nothing?"
Oh, Paul, stop fur a

a iditors thno to catch
Make a rhetorical pause I
around you at the Interesting landscape
and glvo your hearers thno to recover!
No, lie docs not make oven a period or
to much as a colon or rpiiiIoqIou. but
In that ho hath raised him from the
dead."
Uoiueinber thoso thoughts wero to
them novel and provocativo; that
Chrit, tho despised Nazareno, would
como to be their judge, and they should
havo to got up out of their cemeteries
to stand before him and tako their
eternal doom. Mightiest burst of elo
cutionary power ever heard. The an
cestors of bouio of those Greeks had
heard Demosthenes in Ills oration on
the Crown, had heard iEchinos in his
speeches against Timarchus and Ctesl
j phon, had heard Plato in his great ar
I gument for immortality of tho soul, had
1 heard Socrates on his deathbed, sui
cidal cup of hemlock in hnnd, leavo
his hearers in emotion too great
to bear; had in tho theater of
Dlonysius, at tho foot of the Acropolis
(tho ruins of its piled up amphitheater
and tho marble lloor of its orchestra
still there), soen enacted the tragedies
of TEschylusand Sophocles, but neither
had tho ancestors of thoso Grecians on
Mars Hill, or themselves, over heard or
witnessed such tornadoes of moral
power as that with which Paul now
whelmed his hearers. At those two
thoughts of Resurrection and Judg
ment, tho audience sprang to their feet.
Koine movnil rlinv nrifonrn in snmn
Pandrocus I oti1(,r ,tty to hear more on the same
theme, but others would havo torn tho
sacred orator to pieces.
Tho record says. "Somo mocked." I
suppose it means that they mimicked
the solemnity of his voice, that thoy
took oiT his impassioned gesticulation,
and they cried eut: "Jowl Jew I Where
did you study rhetoric? You ought to
hear our orators speak I You had bet
ter go back to your business of tent
making. Our Lyeurgus knew more in
a minute than you will know in a
month. Say, whore did you get that
crooked back, and thoso weak eves
from? Hal Hal You try to teach us Gre
cians I What nonsenso you talk about
when you speak of Resurrection and
Judgment Now, little old man, climb
down tho sldo of Mars Hill and got out
of sight as soon as possible." "Somo
mocked." Uut, that
to tho day of which tho sacred orator
had bpokon the day of Resurrection
and Judgment.
TIIK PAST AXH TIIK HUTUKK.
As in Athens, that evening In 18S9,
wo climbed down tho pllo of slippery
rocks whore all this had ocourred, on
our way back to our hotel, I btood half
way between the Acropolis and Mars
Hill In the gathoring shadows of oven
tide I seemed to hear those two hills in
euuliuio and awful converse. "I am
chiefly of tho past;" said tho Acropolis.
"I am chiolly of tho future," replied
Mars Hill. Tho Acropolis said: "My
orators aro dead. My lawgivers are
dead. My poets are dead. My archi
tects aro dead. My sculptors aro dead.
I nm a monument of the dead past. I
shall never ngaln hear a song sung.
I shall never again see a column lifted.
I shall never again behold a goddess
crowned."
Mow Hill respended: "I. too. have

Influence is to be more in the future
than it ever was in tho past. The
words that missionary, Paul, uttered
that exciting day in the hearing of the
auditor i wisest men and tho populace on my
rocky shoulders, have only begun their
majestic roll ; the brotherhood of man,
and the Christ of God, and tho perora
tion of Resurrection and Last Judgment
witli which tho Tarsian orator closed
his sermon that day amid tho mocking
crowd, shall yet revolutionize tho planet.
O Acropolis 1 I have stood here long
enough to witness that your gods aro no
gods at all. Your Dorcas could not
coutrol tho winds. Your Neptune
could not manage the tea. Your Apollo
never evoked a musical note. Your
god Ceres never grew a harvest. Your
Goddess of wisdom, Minerva, nover
know the Greek alphabet. Your Ju
piter could, not handle tho lightnings.
Dut the God whom I proclaimed on
the day when Paul preached before
the astounded assemblage on my rough
heights is the God of music, the God
of witdom, tiio God of power, tho God
of mercy, the God of love, tho God of
storms, the God of sunshine, the God
of the land, and the God of the sea.
the God over all, blessed forever."
Then tho Acropolis spako and said, as
though in self defense, "My Plato
argued for the immortality of tho soul,
and my Socrates praised virtue, and my
Miltiades at Marathon drove back tho
Persian oppressors."
"Yes." said Mars Hill, "your Plato
laboriously guessed at the immortality
of the soul, but my Paul, divinely in
spired, declared it as a fact straight
from God. Your Socrates praised vir
tue, but expired as a suicide. Your
Miltiades was brave against earthly
foes, yet died from a wound ignomini
ously gotten in after defeat. But my
Paul challenged all earth and all hell
with this battlo shout, 'Wo wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against
the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high
places, and then on the 29th of June,
in the year CG, on the road to Ostia,
after tho s.vord of the headsman had
given ono keen stroke, took the crown
of martyrdom.' "
ALAS I AD IIOSAKXAIll
After u moment's silence by both
hills tho Acropolis moaned out in tho
darkness, "Alas I Alas!" and Mars Hill
responded, "Hosannah! Hosannahl"
Then the voices of botli hills became
indistinct, and as I passed on and away
in tho twilight I seemed to hear only
two sounds a fragment of Pentelicon
marblo from the architrave of tho Acrop
olis dropping down on tho ruins of a
shattered idol, and the other sound
seemed to come from tho rock on Mars
IIIH, from which wo had just descended.
But wo were by this time so far oh"
that tho fragments of sentences wero
smaller when dropping from Mars Hill
Than wero the fragments of fallen mar
blo on the Aeropolio, and I could only
hear parts of disconnected sontonces
wafted on tho night air "God who
mado tho world" "of one blood all
nations" "appointed a day in which
ho will judge tho world" "raised him
from tho dead."
As that night in Athens I put my
tired head on my pillow, and tho ex
citing scenes of tho day passed through
my mind, 1 thought on the same sub
ject on which as a boy 1 mado my coin
monceinent speech In Niblo's theatre
on graduation day from tho New York
university, viz., "The Moral Effects of
Sculntnrtt nnd Arpliitontitrn " ln,f t,-.
seeno adjourned j ther tlmn j miIl, luivo tl,ouaht in bov-
hood 1 thought hi Athens that night
that tho moral effects of architecture
and sculpture depend on what you do
In great buildings after thoy aro put
up, and upon the character of the men
whose forms you cut in tho marble.
Yea I I thought that night what
struggles tho martyrs went through in
ordor that in our timo the Gospel might
have full swing; and I thought that
night what a brainy religion it must be
that could absorb a hero liko him whom
wo havo considered today, a man the
superior of tho wholo human race, tho
Infidels but pygmies or homuncull com
pared with him; and I thought what a
rapturous consideration It Is that
through the samo grace that saved
Paul, we shall confront this great
apostle and shall have the opportunity,
amid tho familiarities of tho skies, of
asking him what was the greatest occa
sion of all his life.
Ho may say, "Tho shipwreck of
Mellta." Ho may say, "Tho riot at
Ephesus." Ho may say, "My last walk
out on tho road to Ostla." But I
think ho will say. "The lay I stood
on Mars Hill addressing the Indignant
Areopagltos, and looking oil upon the
towering foru of the goddess Minerva,
and the majesty of the Parthenon, and

"German
Syrup"
Asthma.
" I have been a great
sufferer from Asth
ma and severe Colds
every Winter, and last Fall my
friends as well as myself thought
because of my feeble condition, and
great distress from constant cough
ing, and inability to raise any of the
accumulated matter from my lungs,
that my time was close at hand.
When nearly worn out for want of
sleep and rest, a friend recommend
ed me to try thy valuable medicine,
Boschee s German
Syrup. I am con
fident it saved my
life. Almost the first
dose gave me great
relief and a gentle re
freshing sleep, such as I had not had
for weeks. Iy cough began immedi
ately to loosen and pass away, and
I found myself rapidly gaining in
health and weight. I am pleased
to inform thee unsolicited that I
am in excellent health and do cer
tainly attribute it to thy Boschee's
German Syrup. C. B. Sticknky,
Picton, Ontario."
