PAUL IN ATHENS

HI ft » SsiigMi

In the second year of his second missionary journey, Paul came to the city of Athens. It was still the center of culture and surrounded with the beauties and historic memories of ancient Greece. Paul gave little heed to these phases of the spot. He had come to spread the word of tne Christ and he noticed, first of all, that the streets were crowded with shrines and statues of pagan gods.

LAKE SHRINKAGE i MENACES WATER LURE OF STATE I — Wisconsin Seeks Reforestration And Warne To Solve Problem I 1 Superior, ’.Vis., Nov. . >. —(L.R) —; Wisconsin will not bo entitled to I the name of Land of Lakes within 1 50 or 75 years because of the rapid ' shrinkage of lake water levels, ac ' cording to experts. Property owners and resort operators have begun to take interest in the problem. Thousands of dollars worth of damage has been caused through water shrinkage Reforestation and the building of dams is seen as the ultimate answer. The tendency of upper state lakes ( to shrink away was revealed ih a; i report recently completed by John, IS. Bordner, Douglas county, who! showed that 22 of 36 lakes in Doug-’ las county gradually are decreasing in size. As an example. White-! fish Lake, in southern Douglas} county, has receded 14 feet -since 1891. The lake dropped two inches and a half this September. In Washburn county, Whitefish lake, one of the most beautiful in I a state which has thousands, has} dropped tour feet since 1927. This I year it shrank ten inches. Thou-1 ands of bast died when spawning beds were exposed, and the shoreline in spots became ugly. Resort ; owners are considering federal aid . in the construction of a dam to | prevent further water loss. Lakes long since dried up are; found in any number throughout the state, showing that it is not | impossible for them to disappear.} Lack of snow of any depth for four | years and diminishing rainfall have : hastened the shrinkage, observers j say. ——o Ohio, Man Owns One of First Books Ever Printed Zanesville, O — (U.R) — A Bible. I which is believed to be one of the first books ever printed, is in the possession of Clark Sturtz, bicycle repair man. The book is a massive volume. } and was printed in 1664. It is the i story ot the New Testament as told | by Martin Luther, and is printed in the German language. 0 Wyoming Dry Cause Wil! Stick Until 1934 Cheyenne, Wyo. (U.R) -Wyoming wet leaders have abandoned hopes of removing Hie dry clause in the state constitution before the regular general election ot November,, 1934. Predominant anti-prohibition sen-| timent was indicated in the over-1 whelming vote cast by the state: for the repeal of the 18th ; ment. Wyoming was one ot the} first states to ratify the 21st amendment. _ The state constitution, however, provides that the legislature must initiate an amendment and the} electorate must vote on it at a | regular election. Hence, with national repeal of prohibition near. Wyoming still will have prohibition, at least nominal-} ly, for almost a year. The l#st regular session of the ) legislature, however, repealed all | st'ate enforcement laws so that the dry clause in the constitution is expected to have little actual effect. , x o Get the Habit — Trade at Home ,

It was the custom of Athens to hold disputations on various philosophical subjects in the open market place. Paul foregathered there, preaching and arguing, though he did not neglect the synagogues. Those who disputed most with him were the Epicureans, who followed the philosophy that life war a thing of beauty to be enjoyed with all of the senses, and the Stoics, who believed in self-abnegation.

The pastors morning BROTHERHOOD By Harlowe R Hoyt One of the greatest factors in ! the Christian religion is the fact that it lias neither cast nor color. ! All men are brothers. All men [ are equal. And it is our duty to treat all men alike. j Christ taught this precept when 'he first spread his teachings } among the humble fisherfolk along the shores of Galilee. But, t'ollowI ing his crucifixion, his followers i overlooked the fact that the reI ligiou was all-embracing. They I were Jews of the orthodox school; and. accepting this new religion as they did, they could not divorce themselves from many of the customs which had become a ' part of their every day life. it ' remained for Paul of Tarsus to j introduce the broad note into the ' newly found sect when lie went ion his jourr.ies and turned his | efforts to converting Hie Gentiles. I Patil did not accomplish this | without a struggle. It became necessary for him to visit Jerusalem and explain to Hie heads ol the Christian church just what he was doing and why. But lie pled his cause eloquently. Pe'er -and James seconded him; and Christianity became a religion, not of ! one nation or of one people, but ’ of the whole wide world. it has been this quality of 1 equality, brotherhood, friendship ! and love, that has made the Chris- : tian religion what it is. The application of the Golden Rule to the fullest extent is Christianity applied to the nth. degree. Could we but adhere to it. the ills of the ! world would he solved. And it | was not until this principle was | accepted by the Christiau heads that the . religion really found i itself. Brotherhood and lovd for all men is the solution of the world I problems of today. By its application war will cease, labor trou- : bles will end, business catastro- , phies will be aveited. poverty and ; famine will be vanquished, and , the world will ride on and on to- , ward the niillenium.

The court of Areopagus, or of Mars’ Hill, was a spot set aside where new teachers were obliged to appear that they might be judged whether their doctrines were harmful to the state and public morals. Paul was haled before his body. "At I passed along, I found an altar inscribed ■To an Unknown God,' Paul declared. “What therefore ye worship in ignorance, this I sei forth unto you."

What was the court of the: i Areopagus? 5. Wliat part did it play in the i ■ experiences of Paul? ’ 6. What argument did lie pre-1 ■ sent to this body? 1 } 7. How was his sermon re1 j ceived? , ' 8. Who were among those Paul baptized? 9. What does Areopagite mean?| 10. Where did the evangelists ■' theft go? ANSWERS 1. Paul arrived in Athens dur-} ing his second missionary journey, ' in 51 A. D 2. Athens, capital of the ancient: republic, was that city of Greece; ' noted for the Acropolis, tlie Par- ' theneo. the famous frieze known 1 as "the Elgin marbles," and other L works of art and architecture i famed in history. It was the home of philosophers, poets, writers,! I singers, warriors; and represented the hub of the universe of that} day. ‘ 3. When Paul arrived at Athens } J'he went to the synagogue to! ’ preach. Bui lie found that it was} ; the custom to argue and dispute; in tlie streets and market place,} so lie continued his work there. 4. Tlie court of Areopagus, or Mars' Hill, was a hill somewhat 1 lower than the Acropolis, a crag s five hundred*feet high. Here tlie' '! venerable court of Athens had its } sittings. Tlie group listened to: ! tin* theories of new teachers and •I judged whether they were inimic-j ' al to tlie welfare of morals or, ’ 1 state. 5. Paul was summoned before s ;ths court to explain the strange ( s tenets which he advanced regardi ing Jesus Christ and his religion.: '! 6. Paul explained 'lr.it as he' '■, passed through the street he saw; • an altar marked “To an Unknown i ’ God.” Tlie Athenians thus sought e , to pacify a god of which they . 1 ; knew not. This god which they : recognized was Ills God—the only) ’■; true God—and it behooved them to heed his words and pay due; ’• reverence. 7. Some ot tlie Athenians re-; 'ceived it. Others doubted. Others} ' openly scoffed the idea of the ■ I resurrection of tlie body. 8. Among those baptised by | Paul were Dionysius, the Areopa-• ■;glte. and a woman named Damaris. , s 9. Areopagite means a member! lof tlie Court of Areopagus. Thus ' Paul by ills eloquence won one of "I his judges to ills cause. 11). They continued on to Cor- ■' | hilh. First Baptist Church t. A. B.

With this as a basis, he preached the new tenets of Christianity, pointing out that the Atl ’ en ‘’ n ® by their very erection of this altar admitted that there was a god of which they were ignorant and that this was God—the true God—whose message he brought to them. The words of the evangelist caused much discussion. Some mocked the resurrection of the dead. But many wete converted and joined his disciples.
