Dunn, PAUL IN ATHENS Lesson for November 19th. Act? 17:16-34. Golden Text: Acts 17:28. Athens, at the time of Paul’s vis it, was not an important political center, for tho capital of the dis trict was Corinth. But Athens was still the queen of the intellectual world. Her schools of philosophy were famous, and she had impres sive temples adorned with precious art treasures. But the city was so full of idols that it seemed as if gods t were more numerous than men. This idolatry was naturally a shock to Paul’s monotheistic faith. The lesson contains the sermon Paul preached as he stood on the Areopagus, the splendor of the city in full view, with an audience be fore him in Epicureans, Stoics, and idlers. Note the tact with which he begins. Instead of denouncing them for their idolatry, he says they are unusually religious. Thus he conciliates them, and secures a courteous hearing. The art of ap preciation here exemplified ought to be practised far more zealously. We usually accomplish more by praise than by rebuke. William Lyon Phelps tells of how he criti cized severely a short story submit ted by a student to a college maga zine. Later the young man, who was subject to attacks of low spir its, committed suicide. It is not a source of satisfaction to him, says Prof. Phelps, that he contributed to the poor fellow’s suffering. Paul then goes on to define that unknown God whom the Athenians worshipped in ignorance. An un seen Spirit, He is the Lord of heav en and earth, who created all men, His children, to love and .serve Him as one united family. The apostle then stresses repentance and con cludes with a brief reference to Jesus and the resurrection. The re sponse to this carefully prepared, polite homily was not flattering. The Athenians were too frivolous and conceited to embrace the gos pel with genuine sincerity. Some jeered, some desired further light, and a few believed. The total im pression was negligible. No church was founded In Athens, and no let ter was written to the Athenians. So far as we know, Paul never went there again. Discouraged, he pro ceeded to Corinth, where his recep- tlon was much more favorable.

The journey gave ^him a chance to be alone with the twelve; and it was, in a small way, a repe tition of his earlier triumphs. He hated to leave these kindly ’ strangers. Much more he dreaded the thought of another trip through Galilee. What a graveyard of high hopes it was! Every road, every street corner almost every house and tree was alive with mem ories of his success. Now he must pass each orfe again, conscious that it might be the last time, his heart weighed down with the thought of high purposes that had brought no response, and sacrifices seemingly in' vain. Small wonder that he cried out against Chorazin and .Bethsaida and even his own loved Capernaum, the cities for which he had done so much. “Woe unto you,” he cried in his loneliness, “for if the mighty works which were done in you had been dons in Tyre and Sidon they would have repented long ago, in sack-cloth and ashes.” ... So the spring and summer passed, and autumn came, bringing the feast of tabernacles, which he determined to celebrate in. Jerusa lem. It was a suicidal resolye. The report of his dwindling influence had been carried to the Temple clique which was emboldened by the information. There were spies in every crowd that listened to him. All this he knew but it did not weigh against his resolve. This might be his last feast. He must, be true to his calling at whatever cost. So he went. We catch one glimpse of him on the Temple steps, surrounded by a partly curious, partly antagonistic crowd. It was his chance to re capture a little of the 1 popular fa vor, to speak a placating word that might open the way to reconcilia tion; but no such thought entered his mind. The time for defiance had come. “I have offered you the truth,” he cried, “the truth that would make you free.” And when they shouted that they were sons of Abraham and hence already free, he replied that they were no children of Abraham, but “children of the devil.” They would have killed him then and there, but their courage failed. Give him rope and he would tangle himself inextricably. Every speech was alienating somebody. When the time was ripe they would seize him. So they argued among them selves, and he went back once more into his Galilee. Next Week: STANDING ALONE Copyright, Bobbs-Merrill Co.
