His celebrated letter to Trajan was written about seventy years after Christ's death; and the information to be drawn from it, so far as it is connected with our argument, relates principally to two points: first, to the number of Christians in Bithynia and Pontus, which was so considerable as to induce the governor of these provinces to speak of them in the following terms: "Multi, omnis aetatis, utriusque sexus etiam; neque enim civitates tantum, sed vicos etiam et agros, superstitionis istius contagio pervagata est."

"Nor am I dazzled by the splendor of wealth, in which many retailers, and private tradesmen have outvied all the Africani and the Lelii" Only invert the order a little, and say, "Multi superarunt mercatores, venatitiique," and the harmony of the period will be loft.
But true it must be that Christ saith, Multi sunt vocati, pauci vero electi: "Many are called, but few are chosen." Here have I an occasion by the way somewhat to say unto you; yea, for the place I alleged unto you before out of Jeremy, the forty-eighth chapter.
The world is coming to wonderful things." "That's queer talk," said Joe, "coming from a multimillionaire." The multimillionaire laughed. "But I'm getting rid of the multi, Mr. Blaine.
