Although 600 years have passed since they died together, the legend of Romeo and Juliet, immortalized by Shakespeare, still attracts more than 100,000 visitors yearly to picturesque Verone, on the banks of the Po river in northern Italy.

Left: The famed balcony, where Juliet sig naled her lover, still stands. Center: A hopeful maiden prays at Juliet’s crypt in a stone-lined, dimly lighted room. Right: The girl drops a message into a box marked “MaU for Juliet.” The girl was alone as it is considered bad luck for an engaged couple to visit the tomb together.

Beautlful_ Sprin£Summer and anklets! Beau—— patterns! Write Basssy Co., A “They say. What do they say? Let them say!” So reads the in scription over a doorway of one of the great schools of England. What does it mean? It bespeaks the con fidence of a life lived so nobly that the barbs flung out by wicked and slanderous tongues may be faced without fear, in fact, ignored. The best defense against the at tacks of men is the testimony of a good life. Paul had lived such a life, and consequently when the hour came for him to speak in his own defense, he needed but to point to the record. It is significant that his enemies did not deny the facts. They could only , cry out, throw off their garments and throw dust in the air while they shouted, “Away with such a fellow from the earth!” (Acts 22:22-24). They did, indeed, manufacture accusations against him, but even the heathen officials knew enough to throw these out of court. The impotent rage shown by wicked men when they run up against the consistent testimony of a true Christian life is one of the strongest of testimonies to the gen uineness of faith. At first glance the portions as signed for our lesson seem some what unrelated though taken from the same general narrative. A little study reveals a surprising unity. I. A Matter of Conviction (21:40— 22:4). Many men • and women have no real convictions. They are Repub licans or Democrats because their fathers were, and often they have not the remotest idea of what it all means. They are members of a cer tain denomination because they were brought up in it, and have little knowledge of its teachings and no definite convictions relative to them. Paul was a Christian because of strong personal convictions of the deepest kind. He was reared in a tradition which made him a bitter persecutor of the followers of Christ, and it was a personal experience of the regenerating grace of God in Jesus Christ whi'> made him into the bond slave Ox the One he had persecuted. We need more of that kind of know-so and say-so type of faith. Joining a church as one might join a social club means noth ing—but following Christ in full and free devotion is everything. II. A Matter of Authority (24:14- 16). Just as Paul’s life was built on faith which was inward, based on personal convictions, it was also a faith that was Godward, based on the authority of His Word. The Jews might call it heresy, but Paul stood on “all things which are writ ten” (v. 14); he had a “hope toward God” (v. 15), and “a conscience void of offence toward God” (v. 16). Those who ridicule Christianity would have it that faith is really credulity. They say we believe things which we do not know to be true, while hoping that they may somehow prove to be so. A man who reads these notes in his home town newspaper recently wrote to ask me if I was fool enough to be lieve the things I wrote. The fact is that we, even as did Paul, have the strongest of all foundations for our faith, namely the Word of God. Men act in faith on the word of their fellow men—their very existence is all bound up in that faith in men whom they hardly know. They be lieve them, but they will not believe God. I suggested to my correspond ent that he read I Corinthians 1:18- 25 and 2:14. Christian faith calls for a personal belief, but that belief is not in any word of man, but in the Word of God, which abideth forever. III. A Matter of Witness (26:19- 23). Inward, Godward, and now out ward in witness—these are the three relationships of Paul’s good life. He could plead in his own defense the record of his life, for he had not selfishly cherished a fellowship with God which had lighted and warmed his own soul and then left his fellow man to sit in the chilling darkness of sin. He was obedient to the heavenly vision (v. 19), and preached repentance, faith, and good works to both Jew and Gentile (v. 20), continuing to do so with God’s help even in the face of severe persecution. Some people are just so good that they are “good for nothing.” Such men do not reflect the goodness of God. Every attribute of God is an active one. He is love and He does love. He not only is good, but He does good. His children should be like Him. They are not saved only that they may escape hell and enjoy the peace of God. They are saved to serve in the winning of others to Christ. Let us covet such a good life as that which Paul lived. Our bewildered age needs the sanctify ing and stabilizing influence of such lives!
