Harper PLANTING A CHI RCH IN A PA GAN CITY (TEMPERANCE) Lesson Tor February 26: Acts 18: 1, 8-11; II Corinthians 6: 14-7:1. Memory Selection: I Corinthians 6: 19-20. In Corinth Paul abode a year and six months and had a great minis try. Corinth was a very wicked ci- ■ ty, with a bad reputation. But Paul, encouraged by a vision from God. ! boldly preached the Gospel and in vited men to the better way of life' in Christ. Ages before God told Elijah of the thousands in Israel who had hot bow- 1 ed the knee to Baal. And the Lord bade Paul to “be not afraid, for,” he; said, “I have much people in this city." Afterward, as Paul wrofe the Co rinthians, he urged them to be strong against all the evils about them. One of the three primary laws of logic, upon which all reasoning must fin ally depend, is' the law of contradic tion—Nothing can both be and not be at the same time. A white object may be burned black, but it cannot be white and black at the same time. A wicked man may become good, but he can not be bad and good at the same time. Paul reasoned according to this law. There is no concord between Christ and Belial, and no union between a believer and an infidel. Therefore the Corinthians were urged to come out from among the wicked and be a separate people. In this time of much corruption the Christian meets many tempta tions to fall into dissolute living He who makes no compromise with evil will not go into intemperance and the ways of vice.
