The apostle himself says that his enemies found his personal presence unimpressive. (See 2 Cor. 10:10.) But it is clear that he had a genial, winning ex pression which drew men to him through its contagious warmth. Perhaps his inelegant personal appearance was due to his- ill- health, what he calls his “thorn in the flesh.” Just what this malady was we do not precisely know. Some think he was troubled with acute inflammation of the eyes. Another suggestion is that he was subject to malarial fever. The most satisfactory theory is that he had epileptic seizures. We are profoundly impressed by Paul’s courage, energy, and en thusiasm. In 2 Cor. 11:23-27 we read a most remarkable catalogue of mishaps. Only a man of iron nerve could have gone through such a sea of trouble. And how incessant was Paul’s toil! The rec ord of his arduous missionary tours testifies abundantly to his ceaseless activity. And how his let ters shine with enthusiasm! This glow of emotion is the [overflow of a happy heart. Paul was happy in his converts, and in his gospel. Here was a man who felt, despite every rebuff and dis appointment, the constant and joyous pressure of the Holy Spirit. And how he rejoiced in his friends! Nothing in his letters is more beautiful than the numerous expressions of tender affection for Timothy, Luke, and many others. But best of all, he was devoted to Christ. His passionate love of the Master was the mainspring of his noble, heroic career. The supreme zeal of his burning heart is sum med up in those thrilling words, “To me to live is Christ,” and “I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.” r-t 7heSXory of the (ShaftthtiO -by Caleb Johnson* 'k'k Ayracatvit f tm.

The small States insisted upon an equal voice with every other State. ,The large States felt that their wealth, size and importance entitled them to a larger voice in the affairs of the country. These conflicting views resulted in what historians call the “Connecticut Compromise.” The colony of Connecticut from its earliest history had a dual sys tem of representation in its legis lature. One house represented the towns as equal units. The other house represented all the people as individuals. This plan became the basis upon which the Congress of the United States was set up. The Constitution provides for equal representation of all the States, large and small, in the Senate, and for representation of the people in the House of Repre sentatives, in proportion to the number of inhabitants. The Convention was a unit in agreeing that all power to direct and regulate the affairs of the country should reside in this repre sentative organization, the Con gress. Section 1 of Article I of the Constitution reads: “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representa tives.” That provision of the Constitu tion has never been altered. It has recently been brought to the front of public discussion through the decision of the Supreme Court that certain acts of the 73rd Congress were unconstitutional because they run contrary to this first and fundamental provision of the Con stitution as drafted in 1787. Con gress cannot delegate to the Executive, or to anybody else, the power to enact laws or to issue regulations having the force of law unless it puts clear and definite limitations upon the regulative authority. Members of the House of Repre sentatives, elected directly by a vote of the people, must be ab least 25 years old, and be inhab itants of the state in which they are elected. There is no constitu tional requirement for dividing states into districts, or for mem bers to live in the districts they represent. That is something for each state to determine. In New York, several members live outside of their districts. In Missouri there are no Congressional districts. The 13 representatives are elected at large by the voters of the whole state. Senators must be 30 years old and residents of their states. As the body originally closest to the people, the House of Repre sentatives was given in the Con stitution the exclusive right to originate bills for raising revenue. The insistence of the smaller States brought about another re striction upon Congress; it forbade j ihe levying of any direct tax ex cept in proportion to population. This was later changed by the in come-tax amendment, which be came effective March 1, 1913. That is the only exception to the rule established in the original Consti tution, intended to provide that di rect taxes levied by the Federal Government shall bear equally upon all citizens. The Senators, as the direct rep resentatives of State governments, were to be chosen by the legisla tures of the States. That prevail ed until 1913, when an amendment was ratified providing for the popular elections of Senators as well as Representatives. A still later amendment, the twentieth, ratified in 1933, changed the date upon which the terms of office of Senators and Representatives be gin, from the 4th of March to the ;3rd of January, and fixed that date for the annual meeting of Congress, instead of the first Mon day in December, as originally pro vided in the Constitution.
