The tendency of the evidence dfr rived from (hens discoveries made at long intervals ofUtne. taken in conjunction with the great probability that Christianity bad reached Pom tell some years prior to the destruction of that city, Is all towards furnishing an affirmative answer to the question. Were there Christians In - i Pompeii? Of the other people of Pompeii we know much. It is no exaggeration to say that of all the ancient cities of the earth no one has revealed so much of tta Inner life and manners and custom, It vUer and tta arts, its beliefs and its cotHumes, and all that can be known, as Pompeii. Here on one side we wander Into the Temple of Venus, where the worship of that deity prevailed; anon we pass Into the amphitheater, once clamorous with the shouts it maddened multitudes, now abandoned and silent save for its marvelous echo. Tba empty houses, with the painted columns,'1 rising into the blue air, and now supporting nothing, for the roofs aye gone, make the place desolate and lonely to the aenslttve mind.
