rebuilt the same year. In the ' eleventh century, the Danes wore Christianized. Ethelred and Edward Atheling both were buried here. Hut the modern church begins in' 1087. when the building was burnt. Rebuilt, it was destroyed in the great fire of 1136. The rebuilding took 200 years and it stood until 1666. Then the present edifice was begun in 1675 and finished in 1710. Sir Christopher Wren was the architect, and the structure stands as a single build ing—a somewhat unique condition for a cathedral of such fame and extent. Many famous people arc buried here. Sir Joshua Reynolds, portrait painter; Turner, landscape painter; Dr. Samuel Johnson; Lord Cornwallis; General Gordon, and the architect, Sir Christopher Wren himself, are among the better known. Among the monuments are those to Wellington and Nelson. The story is told that when the famous dome was planned, criticism was made that Wren had not placed sufficient pillars to support it. Against his desires, he added extra pillars to insure a safe support. Years later, wh >n repairs were necessary, it was discovered that none of these extra pillars reached within a foot of the dome. Sir Christopher Wren had satisfied the critics — visually at least —17Ut he had proven the intrinsic worth of his own theories.

For two ' years, this disso'ute man kept him in prison with- : out just cause until Festus finally succeeded to cower.

Once in Rome, Paul established himself in his own house and awaited the summons for his hearing before the emperor. At the end of three days he called the leading Jews to him and exp ained just how he came there. They denied that any charges had been preferred by the Jerusalem Jews to bias their judgment and invited him to preach his doctrines to them.
