THE MOST POPULAR AND BEST SELLING TEACHERS' BIBLE OF THE SEASON.

MARS' HILL, ATHENS.-This exquisite illustration brings to view that part of Athens rendered famous by the visit of St. Paul. The central and highest elevation is the celebrated Acropolis, surmounted by the Parthenon, one of the noblest remains of antiquity. Westward, and at a lesser elevation, is the Areopagus, or Mars' Hill, on which Paul stood when he addressed the Athenians (Acts xvii. 22). This part of the scene constituted what was known as the "upper city." The foreground lies in the "lower city." Its most conspicuous object is the Temple of Theseus, which was a sanctuary for slaves and persons of low degree who fled from persecution. It resembles the Parthenon in architecture, and is the best preserved of all ancient Grecian structures.
