nowhere else and In all the ages since architects and poets historians and travelers have testified universally that it was the most beautiful the most exquisite and the most finished edifice that had ever been upon the earth Col Smith had a gigantic task presented to him It may not be within the knowledge of some ill this audience and I will give them merely a superficial view a mere glance tbe story of its building which filled' Smith's heart and brain filled his blood with ardor filled his brain with genius that he might copy the greatest architect Ictinus this greatest of all classic buildings No man could have done It who had not tilled his soul with that great story "I will not detain you my fellow-cltlzens In the heat of this evening by any elaborate description of this building it would take me hours do It and then I am Incompetent for the task To speak of it property a man would have to have genius and his lips would have to be touched with fire Four hundred and forty years before the birth of Christ this great building was commenced The great Athenian Pericles the greatest of the (reeks was ruling at Athens Athens was a city of about 40000 citizens She had many slaves but only 40000 citizens she became Immensely rich by the commerce of the seas and by seizing and plundering the treasures of others so thnt In the Perlclean age the golden age of Athens Pericles and Phidias the greatest sculptor the world ever saw agreed that now was the time to beautify and make forever memorable the city of Athens The architect of this wonderful building was a little hunchbacked Greek called Ictinus The sculptor who decorated it was the great Phidias the superintendent of the building was Calacrates SIXTEEN YEARS IN BUILDING "They were sixteen years my fellow-c'tlzeng In building this sublime temple they i ut the marble from Mt Pen-telicus and It may surprise some who have not had a chance to read up on the great story that there is 'not a straight line in this entire building The platform that the areeks called etylebeate on which I stand is curved These massive pillars are curved they rn lean to the Inward It is estimated that In rescuing five thousand feet In the air they would meet The pillars themselves are apart at Irregular distances Those jplendtd1 has reliefs you see above the cornice that are called metopes they ate Irregularly placed the coroHl of the pediment Is curved there is no pan of this great building that is not built in curves and built so delicate that the human eye cannot nicke the traeefjr without having it especially directed Now William Smith knew and told me for many was the time In the deep hours of the hlght when he was working and studying on this great problem I went to his office and cheered 'Mm
