Golden Text.—For I deter- mined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.—I Cor., 2.2. BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. No ome can study the experience of Paul in Corinth without being encour- iaged to carry on the Master's work in the most difficult field. When the apostle entered cosmopolitan Corinth he was discouraged, disappointed and {disheartened. During the fifty miles of lonely travel Paul had opportunity jto recall the events that had marked ihis campaign in the various Euro- | pean cities. He had responded to the call of the man of Macedonia to {come over and help-him. Instead of Christianity sweeping rapidly like a prairie fire over Greece, it had been retarded by barren controversy and bitter persecution. He had willing- ly faced the frenzy of a mob, but he considered the indifference of Athens with despair. They possessed “the wisdom of this world,” which pre- vented their acceptance of Paul's mes- sage, that pronounced the death doom of their polytheism. The sermon that he delivered upon Mars hill will be a living power, when all that is left of their statues and temples to their many gods will be ruins. Crushed by |the ‘failure of his masterful effort, Paul tells that he entered Corinth “in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. During_his trip from Athens to Corinth Paul determined. as a result of his reflection upon his failure in the seat of culture, to preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified. That de- cision, which - was probably - made while sailing on a vessel that would cover the distance in about five hours, proved to be a wise ones It was the message for the voluptuous and wealthy commercial city, with its heterogeneous population, that had been attracted 6 that center of trade from all quar- ters by the possibilities of attaining a share of its riches and of its luxury. Before Paul could commence his cam- paign to win the depraved, drunken and dissolute city for Christ it was neces- sary for him to find a residence, for he was without an acquaintance who would invite him to his home. He had to find_work, for he was without funds. He needed t6 have reinforce- {ments to do his work. Paul's nature called for friends who could cheer and comfort him in his loneliness and distress. i There was no reception committee to extend thg welcome of the city to the bent and weary Jew. who felt his loneliness and weariness as he en- tered the strategic commercial center that would be his headquarters for the next two years. In their desire for gold and gayety the crowds paid no attention to Paul, whose life and labor during the next few years would in- fluence during the coming ages all the latest history of the world. The conference concerning the unemplo: ed that is now meeting in the nation's capital as well as the one called for next month concerning disarmament will be molded by the words penned by that struggling. tent maker dur- ing his sojourn in Corinth. 3 Providence had prepared for his coming. When_ Claudius Ceasar or- dered that no Jew should be allow ed to stay in Rome. Aquila and his wife, Priscilla, were compelled to find a new home and eéstablish their busi- ness of tent making in some other community. Moved by the prospects of the business openings in Corinth they and a largé number of others flocked to that city. In the crisis of Paul's life he found in Aquila, who was a native of Pontus, which was not far from the birthpiace of Paul and his wife, Priscilla, friends who did not hesitate “to risk their own lives” for the sake of the apostle. He found them through the guild of tent makers in the Jewish quarter of the city when he was louking for work at his trade. We have no record of their baptism, so it is quite probable that they were already Christians, who did not hesitate to welcome their new_employe into their home. They gave Paul an opportunity to earn his own living, so that his min- istry could be free from being charged with any worldly motive. Our missionarias are supported by the churches 5o that when they enter the mission fields they can prove that they are seeking, as Paul did, to reach men amd not their money. Aquila and his wife became worthy and helpful friends in the Master's labor. _ Priscilla was remembered when the first child was born on the Mayflower. They enabled Paul by glving him work to boast to the wealthy Corinthian. church, which he established, that: his ministry had been one of love for their souls. The minister is worthy of- his hire and there is no call for any man, except in some emergency, to depend to- day upon manual labor for his bread and butter as Paul did in Corinth. Every minister is entitled and should receive at least a living wage, yet probably no class of people Is paid on an average less than the preachers of the gospel.

WASHINGTON, Sunday School Lesson) Church Announcements “{lows: , Paul evidently did not preach with | the same vigor and fire in the early days of his ministry in Corinth as he did after the arrival of Silas and Timothy. The news that they brought of the progress of the Thessalonian Church filled Paul with such grati- tude that he penned amid his tent work the letter to the Thessalonians, which was the beginning of the New Testament Scriptures. The dominant thought of these earliest documents jof the Christian literature, that have tcome down to us in our Bible, is i“that the gospel is a great message jof deliverance from the sinful life of 1 sensuality, self-indulgence and self. iseeking into the lifé of spiritual- | mindedness, self-denial and charity, ithrough the personal relationship of the disciple to Jesus Christ.” The evi dence of the gospel's power to trans- form the character of man, which Silas and Timothy gave Paul, pro- duced a remarkable change in his ministry. He commenced to preach with such courage and convincing power that he was shut out of the synagogue and started a church across the street from his old preach- ing place. Corinthian Christians’ Victory. Paul had already secured a follow- ing when the break with the syna- gogue took place, for Justus, who was a proselyte, opened his home for the services of his Christian breth- ren. The starting of the mission and the organization of a church within a stone’s throw of the synagogue de- veloped a bitter antagonism to Paul. This was_increased when Crispus. who had been a ruler of the syna- gogue, united'with the Christians and was baptized by the apostle person- ally. This served to attract many Gentiles of the city, who attended the services in large numbers, many of whom were converted and united with the church. Paul did not fol- low his custom of packing up and moving on to another field of labor because the Lord appeared to him in a vision with tbe assurance of vic- tory. He had confidence in the lead- ership of the Christ. His presence meant protection and unlimited pow- er for the apostle. The assurance of a large harvest of souls challenged the faith of Paul and summoned him to fight on until Christ's cause was victorious. The Jews tried to silence the apostle by bringing him before the new governor, Gallio, who was a member of a noted Spanish family that had won a high place in Roman life and literature. His father was a celebrated rhetorician, and his brother was Seneca, the Stoic, and teagher of Nero. Lucan, the poet, was his nephew. The leaders of the synagogue, who hated Paul, thought they could easily persuade Gallio, whose reputation of being sweet. spirited had preceded him, to sanc- tion their plans to punish the apostle by bringing him before the governor upon a framed-up charge. Gallio's high character and his love for the law served to protect Paul, whom he dismissed without hearing his_plea or defense as a Roman citizen. When the governor drove the Jews from the court and -freed Paul he gave Christianity a legal standing as a re- ligious faith that it had not previous- 1y_possessed. When the common people under- stood that the attack was made upon Paul because he was a friend of sin- ners and the masses of humanity they revealed their antagonism against Sosthenes, who, as the leader of the Jewish forces, had tried to persuade Gallfo to punish Paul. For the first time In the history of Christianity the Gentiles turned upon Sosthenes and beat him up, with the evident approval of the governor, who did not, interfere in what has been called the commencement of “the dreadful tale of Hebrew persecution, of tortures, of massacres, of pogroms,” which has continued to darken the pages of his- tory until today. Sosthenes later be- came a disciple of the Lord Jesus and a faithful helper of the apostle in the Master's work. The secret of Paul's success in Corinth was in what the Christian re- ligion did for men, and not in what it promised. It was not what it did in health and external prosperity, but what it did within the realm of a man’s soul that gave it power. Men have not changed. They will not to- day continue to observe ceremonials or practice ritualistic forms because of tradition or superstition. They will love and sacrifice for a religion, and if need be dle for a faith that does something for them. Many of Paul's converts were gathered from the lewd sinners of the city, who had a tre- mendous battle to fight to live as Christians ought to live for the glory of their It was at Corinth, un- der Paul's leadership, that there was started that age-long battle by the followers of Christ “against immoral- ity and intemperance, the struggle of light against darkness, the desperate endeavor to establish right living amid a wrong environment.” It was to encourage the Corinthians to win their battles, that Paul later penned his letters to the church jn Corinth that are recognized today as the basic treatises on social reform. They will gulde all future ages in their social movements by the religious prin- ciples which they teach. The tre- mendous argument for Christianity today is in its abiding secret spiritual powe to transform the lives of meh. ! v pitihindi s ERE——————2 A kit kb Fifth Baptist Church will begin to- morrow.
