OF

THE ANCIENT CHURCH.

CHRYSOSTOM PREACHING IN ST. SOPHIA.

"He holds them all spell-bound. You can see the changing emotions of their minds express themselves successively on their countenauces, as the preacher makes cord after cord vibrate in their bosoms. Not a posture is changed, not a breath drawn, not a whisper heard, among the listeners, until at last their emotion expresses itself in one simultaneous burst of applause, and the church re-echoes with a tumultuous and deafening clapping of hands," (Page 254.)
