PAUL IN ATHENS AND CORINTH (Acts, xvil.16-xviii.17: I Corin- thians, ii.1-16; I Timothy, ii.3-7.) Golden_text: “For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ,-and him crucified.” I Corinthians, il.2. Paul, when he was forced to end his work abruptly at Beroea, was aided by | some of his converts to secure a passage from a seaport. perhaps Dium. for Athens. After making the journey of “zhout 300 miles by water” fo the sea- port of the intellectual capital of the ancient world, the apostle found him- | se'f alone, waiting for the time when he could refurn to Macedonia and the churches that he loved. But the car- nest ambassador of Jesus Christ could not wait for the return of Timothy, whom he had sent to comfort the Thessalonians. He recognized the fact of democracy and liberty. for it ap- sanctuary with its statues, which Pau- sanius tells us were more numerous than human beings. than mere idols, that offended his spiritual ideal of one God The great apostle was not a man who ¢ 1d keep silent about their numerous idols. He denounced them in the syr gogues, where the Jewish worshipers would sympathize with his views of the statucs, but he met opposition when he talked with men in the agora, or.mar- ket place, which served Athens gathering place for their citizens and as | a modern newspaper. The people as- listen to the philosophers and political leaders discuss their ideas. Paul for the first time met the polished and cul- tured philosophy of Greece. The Stoics and Epicureans were always ready to meet any newcomer and de- fend heir views. the conquest of evil by self-control that hardened Into pride, despair panthelsm. The Epicureans were and degenerated inta mere fove of pleasure.” These men considered that Paul was “a babbler,” a picker-up of cdds and ends. a half-cducated man with a smattering of true notions. The inquisitive spirit prompted them to in- vite the apostle o give an exposition of Christianity before the Areopagus. Ramsay makes out a pretty good case for the idea that Paul was really brought before the council to see if he was entitled to a lecturer's certificate. that would permit him to lecture upon religin and philosophy. The reason for his address is in doubt. but there is no question that Paul's address upon Mar's Hill s a masterpicce of real elo- quence. The Mar's Hill Message. For the first time Christianity was preached to philosophers and the people of Athens, who crowded about the hill top from which Paul spoke to one of the greatest audiences of his life. He made a supreme effort to present the teachings of Christianity in a light that would appeal to various groups of thinkers, who had assembled to hear his sermon. In his opening, he recognized that the Greeks were a_deeply religious people—some _scholars insist that Paul refers to them as a superstitious people He refers to an altar crected to the un- known god. It is quite possible that he may have seen the altar to the name- less god that was erected after Epi- menides had purified the city of the pestilence that raged in the city about 560 B. C. The authoritics appealed to did within a few weeks to our great relief organization for American aid to master the epidemic that is prostrating the modern city with fever. He outlined a natural theology as a | basis of his appeal to them, just as he used the Old Testament in his appeals to the Jews. He proceeded to show how Christianity substituted the perfect { for the imperfect. the true for the false. that Athens was no longer the center | peared to be more like a museum and | Paul saw in the | profusion of sculptures nothing more | sembled there to hear the news and to | “The Stoic aimed at | and | atheistic, light-hearted, fiippant, selfish | this Cretian at that hour, just as they | He announced a personal God the Greek belief in material dei declared the unity of the g against polythelsm; he claimed | creation of ‘all things by Him concourse of atoms, doctrine of fate and the notion of indifference. He revelation that God had made in | viding the possibility of fellowshir Him through the acceptance of Christ. He called upon them to repe of their sins because the time to repent had arrived. “Now is the day of salva- tion. Now is the accepted time.” The time of judgment was approaching; and Paul insisted that J whom God | had raised from the dead in token of | the authority conferred upon Him, is to | be the universal judge. ! | " They did not wait until Paul had | ished his sermon.

They had been expelled from Rome with other Jews, who had come to Corinth cause it offered them an excellent chance to make their living at tent| making. Both became converts to the | Christian _ faith and _most helpful | “laborers _together” with Paul in the | | Gospel. They, perhaps. had been won for the Lord while Paul worked along- side of them at his trade and spoke to them while he worked and in their | home about the Lord Jesus. They ac- | cepled Him, while others rejected the | Gosnel that Paul preached with a d rectness under the urge of the Holy Spirit. The blaspheming of the Master's name by Jews in the syn: gogue resulted in their opening up work | among the Gentiles in the hous> of Justus.

One source of Paul's success was his vision of the Lord Sesus, whose sage must have filled the apostle th courage and determination to car- ry on his work.
