I. Athens Full of Idols (v. 10).
Athens was the Intellectual meirop
ol Is of tho world at that time, the
home of the world's greatest eloquence
nnd philosophy. In spite of this fact
the city was Riven wholly to Idolatry,
which so stirred Paul's spirit that he
was there moved to preach the gospel.
II. The Parties Concerned In the
Controversy (vv. 17-21).
1. The Jews (v. IT). True to his
usual custom, Paul went Into the syn
agogue and entered Into earnest argu
ment with the Jews.
2. The devout persons. (v. 17). This
doubtless Included proselytes to the
Jewish faith.
3. Tho philosophers (v. 18). From
the Jews and devout persons lie turned
to such as were found In the market
place. Here he came Into touch with
Kplcurean and Stole philosophers.
When these philosophers heard his
preaching they desired to know what
new doctrine he preached, so they In
vited him to the Areopagus where he
might speak to them. They Inquired
ns to what this "hahhler" might say.
The word "hahhler" means literally
"seed picker." They conceived Paul
ns a globe-trotter who had gathered
up seeds of truth or error here nnd
there over the world and that he was
somewhat like themselves. Interested
In talking about that which he had
seen and heard.
III. Paul's Address on Mars' Hill
(v.v. 22-31).
1. The Introduction (vv. 22. 23). He
introduced his discourse In a courteous
manner, stating that he perceived that
they were very religious. He did not
accuse them of superstition as the A.
V. would make It. but as the A. it. V.,
"very religious." Hp declared that as
he was viewing their city he beheld
nn altar with an Inscription, "To the
unknown God." He proceeded at once
to connect it with the Idea of the
true Cod. Implying that this altar had
been erected to him.
2. The body of his discourse (vv.
24-31).
a. A declaration concerning God
(vv. 24. 2,r>).
(1) The true God created the mate
rial universe (v. 24). This was a di
rect blow at the philosophy of both
the Epicureans and the Stoics.
(2) God's spirituality and immensity
(vv. 24. 2r?). Being essentially spir
itual he demands heart-service, and
being transcendent above all he Is not
confined to earthly temples.
(3) His active providence (v. 2.r>).
He gives existence to all things. Ho
bestows needed gifts upon all crea
tures. and as sovereign directs nil
things. ?
b. Ills declarations concerning man
(vv. 20-31).
(1) His common origin (v. 20). This
was a blow at the foolish Athenlnn
pride which supposed that they were
superior to all other people. This
proposition he proved from their own
literature (v. 28). He argued that If
men are the offspring of God and bear
his likeness, It Is utter folly to make
Images such as the Idols were.
(2) Nations have their place by the
sovereign purpose of God (v. 20). He
argued that the position nnd mission
of each nation Is of God's nppolntment.
(3) Men should seek God (v. 27).
His goodness and grnce In supplying
all humnn needs, nnd His sovereign
ordering of the affairs of nations
should move men to see and seek God.
(4) Pressing obligations to repent
(vv. 30, 31). This was his supreme
rnessn ge. Though God hnd formerly
passed over the Idoln Irons practice
of the nations, he now calls all men
to repent In prepnratlon for the com
ing day of Judgment, the guaranty or
which is the resurrection of Jesus
Ohrlst from the dead.
IV. The Results of Paul's Preaching
(vv. 32-34).
1. Rome mocked (v. 32). Men nnd
women are today mocking the preach
er who dares to preach the coming
Judgment.
2. Rome procrnstlnnted (v. 32). This .
Is the common wny of men. Many of
them do not mock, but they hesitate
to accept nnd net upon the urgency of
the messnge.
3. Some believed (v. 34). Wherever
the gosp Is preached there are some
who believe nnd nre snved.

For Quick Relief Say Bayer Aspirin When You Buy
Here is quicker relief from pain ? the
fastest safe relief, it is said, ever
known. This is due to a scientific
discovery by which BAYER Aspirin
starts "taking hold" of pain a few
minutes after taking.
The illustration of the glass here
tells the story. A Bayer tablet starts to
disintegrate or dissolve ? go to work
? almost instantly/This means quick
relief from pain? fewer lost hours
from headache, neuritis, rheumatism.
And safe relief. For genuine Bayer
Aspirin docs not harm the heart.
When you buy, see that you get
the genuine Bayer Aspirin. The best
wny is never to ask for aspirin by the
name "aspirin" alone. But if you
want Bayer Aspirin's quick relief
always to say "BAYER Aspirin."
