SaMect: “The Coliseum of Rome.”
Text: “I am ready to preaci the gospe!

Rome! What a city it was when Paul
visited it! What a city ic is now!
The place whera Virgil sapg and Horace
satirized, and ‘Terence laughel and Catilive
conspired, and Ovid dramatized ani Nero
fiddled, and Ves asian prosscutad and Sulla
jus and Decius and Caligula and Julian and
Hadriad and Constantine and Augustus
reigned, and Paul the Apostle preached the
gospel.
I am not much of a draftsman, but I have
in my memorandun book a sketch which I
made in the winter of 1830, when I went out
to the gate through which Paul entered
Rome and walked uo the very strest he
walked up to see somewhat how the city
must have looked to him ax he came in on
the gospel errand proposed in the tex:
Palaces on either side of the strest through
which the little missionary advanced, Piled
up wickedness, Enthroned sc ursadness,
Templed cruelties, Altars to sham deities.
Glorified delusions, Pillared,
dome, turreted abominations. Wickedness
of all sorts at a high premium and righteous-
ness 90% per cent. off. And now he passes
by the foundations of a building which is to
be almost uoparalleled for vastness, You
ean see by the walls which have begun to
rise, that here is to be something enough
stupendous to astound the centuries
it is the Colisasum startad
Of the theatre at Ephesus where Paul
fought with wild beasts, the temple of Diana,
of the Parthenon, of Pharaoh's palaca at
Memphis and of other great buildings, the
ruins of which. have seen, it has been my
privilege to address you, but a member of
my family asked me recently why I had not
spoken to you of the Coliseum at Rome,
imuoressive.
Perhaps while in Rome the law of contrast
wrought upon me. I had visited the Mam-
ertine dungeon where Paul was incarcera-
ted.

inches by twenty-six, The ceiling ar its
highest point was seven feet trom the floor,
but at the sides of the room the csiling was
five feet seven inches, The room at the
widest was fifteen foet. There was a seat of
rock 2! feet high. There was a shelf four

web suspended from the roof, wach [ saw
by the torchlight I carried. There was the
subterranecus passage from the dungeon to
the Roman forum, so that the prisouer could
be taken directly from prison to trial,
The dungeon was built out of volcanic
stone from the Albano Mouataine Op, it
was a dismal and terrific place. You never
saw coal hole so dark or so forbidden. Tae
place was to me a nervous shock, forl re-
member that was the best thing that the
world would afford th* mest illustrious pe
ing, except one, that I ever saw, and that
from that place Paul went out to die. From
that spot I visited tue Coliseam-—one of the
most astounding miracles of architecture
that the world ever saw. fadeel, 1 saw it

Althouzh now a vast ruin, the Coliseum
is 50 well preserved that we can stand in the
center and recall all that it once was, tis
in shape ellipsoidal, oval, oblomg. It is at
its greatest length GIS fest. After it hal
furnished sats for 87,000 people it had room
for 15,000 moras to staud, so that 100,000 pec-
ple could sit and stand tramsfixet by its
scenes of courage and martyrdom and bro-
tality and horror
Instead of our modern tickets of admis.

check dug up near Rome within a few years
was marked “Section 6, Lowest Tier,
No. 18.” You understand that she building
was not constructed for an andieacs to be
addressed by human voice, aithouzh I tested
it with some friends and could be heard
across it, but it was made only for seeing
and was circular, aad at any point allowal
fyll view of the spectacie.
fhe arena in the centre in olden times was
strewn with pounded stone or saad, 50 as not
to ba too slippery with buman blood, for if |
it sere Loo slippery it would spoil the fun
The sand flashed here and there with
sparkles of siiver and gold, and Nero added
cinnabar and Caligula added chryascolla,
The sides of the areas wera compose] of
smooth marble eleven [eet high, sO tbat th
wild beasts of the arens could not climb us
into the audience. On the top of thess sides
of stuooth marble was a miotal rafling, bav-
ing wooden roflers, which easily revolvad,
#0 that if a panther should leap high enough
to scale the wall and with his paw touch any
one of those rollers it would revolve and
drop him back again iuto the arsna
Bac: of this marble wall surrouading the
arena was a level platform of stooe, adorned
with statues of gods and golesass aod the
artistic afizies of monarchs and conquerars.
Here were movable seats for the emperor
and the imoerial swine and swinesses with
which he surrounded himseif. Before the
place whers the emperor sat the gladiators
would walk immediately after entering the
arena, crying: ‘Hall, Cesar! Thoseabout
to die salute thee.”
The diff erent ranks of spectators wera di.
vided by partitions studded with mosaics of
emerald ans beryl and ruby and diamond,
Great masts of wool arose from all sides: of
the building, from which festoons of flywers
were suspended, crossing ths building, or ia
time of rain awaings of silk were suspended,
the Coliseu u having no roof. The outside
wall was iscrusted with marble and had
four ranges, and the thres lower ranges had
80 eaxlumns eaca and arciss a'te’ arches
and on each arch an exquisite status of a
god or a hero.

At the dedications of this Coliseum 090
wild beasts and 10,000 immortal men were
slain, so that bloo1 of men and beast was not
a brook, but a river; not a pool, but a lake.
Having been in taat way de ficated, bs not
surprised when I tell you that E nperor Pro-
bus on one threw into that arsas of
thé Coliseum 100) 1000 boars and 1000
ostriches, What fun it must have been the

batants entered the arena, the one with
sword and shield and the other with net
and spear. The swordsman strikes at the
man with the net and shear. He dodges the
sword and then flings the net over the head
of the swordsman and jerks him to the floor
of the arena, and the man who flung the
net puts his foot on the neck of the fallen
swordsman, and spear in hani looks up to
the galleries, as much as to say, **shall I let
him up, or shall [ plunge this spear into his
+| body until he is dead?”
The audience had two signe, either of
which they might give. If they waval their
flage, it meant =pars the fallen contestant.
If they turned their thumbs down, it meant
slay him. ©Ocsasionally the audiences wonld
wave their flags, and the fallen would be let
up, but that was too tame sport for most oc-
casions, and generally the thu nbs fron the
galleries were turned down, and with that
sign would be hewrd the recompanying shout
of “Kill! Kil! Kill! Kuti”
Yet it was far from bemzs a monotone of
sport, for there was a change of programme
in that wondrous Coliseum. Under a strange
and powerful machinery, beyond anything
of modern invention, the floor of the arena
would begin to rock ind roll and then give
away, and thers would appear a lake of
bright water, and on its banks tress would
spring up rastiing with foliage, and tigers
appeared amoog the jungles, and armel
men would come forth, ant there would be
a tiger hunt. Toen on the lake in the Colis-
eum armed ships would float, and thera
would be a sea fight, What fun! What
lots of fan! When pestilence came, in order
to appease the go ig, in this Coliseu'n a sucri-
{ fice woula be made, and the people would
| throng that great amphitheatre, shouting,
{ “I'he Christians to the wild begsts!” and |
| there would bs a crackling of buna bones
in the jaws of leonina ferocity.
But all this was to be stopped. By the
outraged sense of public decency? No,

| cruelty and sin. and that is Caristianity, and

World’s Fair
Souvenir Coins—
The Official Souvenir
of the Great Exposition—
8,000,000 0f which were donated to the World's Columbian Exposition by the
Government, are being rapidly taken by an enthusiastically patriotic people.
As there early promised to be a demand for these Souvenirs that
would render them very valuable in the hands of speculators, the Exposition
Authorities decided to place the price at
$1.00 for Each Coin
| and sell them direct to the people. thus realizing $5,000,000, and using the
additional money for the further development of the Fair. :
Considering the fact that there were but 5,000,000 of these coins to be
distributed amomg 65,000,000 people, in this country alone (to say nothing
of the foreign demand,) and that many have already been taken, those wish-
‘ing to purchase these mementoes of our Country’s Discovery and of the
grandest Exposition ever held, should secure as many as they desire at once.
F S I Realizing that every patriotic American
will want one or more of these coins,
: or aic and in order to make it convenient for
him to get them, we have made arrange-
Everywhere ments to have them sold throughout
® the country by all the leading Merchants
and Banks. f not for sale in your town, send $1.00 each for mot less than
five coins, by Post-office or Express Money-order, Registered Letter or Bank
Draft, with instructions how to send them to you, eX charges prepasd, to
easurer World's Columbian Exnosition. Chieaeo, IIL
