with this new ability. So he fated forth on a mission ! that became mightier than that of ■my of history's world nmuuerors ! Th** very fact that a score of mil ! linns of persons In this western j world alone will this week be sit- j ling at Paul's feet Is a dramatic evidence of his continuing service. Mustered by Christ, he still masters men. Ills tellers rank next to the Goaiiels as the worlds literature of power. Driven by hts ngw conviction and confidence, the convert Paul became Christianity's pioneer adventurer. No Journey was 100 long for him. no opposition too hostile, no hdrdsh'p too great. Prison*, beatings aud stoning* could not deter him More lhau once left for dead after atempu' to lynch him. he relumed to iboae very sceucs to proclaim the Story of bis Lord. He drudged as a workingman, lie argued as a philosopher, all lo (he same end. Amidst shipwrecks aud riots and conspiracies be could look death calmly tn the eye and proclaim that lhe Power which austaitied him waa above all these Memories of Old Corinth While this doughty hero. Christ, empowered was starting thlugs In Kaslern Kumpe more potent than anything Hitler has undertaken, he came to Corinth. Paul delighted in pivotal places, the more difficult the better. And Corinth was •me such- a rotten spot on the 1 face of the earth. Even the name had been converted Into a very 1 "Corinthiautxe," to expreas all j that was abnormally evil. For a I year and a half he dwelt there, ap- , pruachlng first the Jewa; aud, when spurned, the Gentiles. No situation Is Irredeemably bad In a heartening vision. Paul 1 was assured by the Lord. "I have much people In thia city." Thai j same message come* to every aeri vatti of God tn the worst of our modern mui*%< ipalttte*. TM* bad , may scent shamelessly ratnpaut I and triumphant: but still the voice J sounds. ‘‘l have much people in • this city." If ibid had Hia legions j in Corinth, why despair of New j York or Chicago or Ban Francisco lor Montreal? Long ago the people of old Corinth were driven tn a new attc by th** plague of malaria. Hut the ' archaeologists have been busy in the old city, and i have seen the l>agan temples that revolt. *1 Paul; and have walked the very pavement* once pressed by his tireless | feet. The Christian visitor to the j signs of ancient glory in t ortnth is likely to find himself r. pealing •be lines of the old hymn "Oh where are kings and empires now. Os old that went and came?
