Movies Unequal To Story j Os Great Hero-Adventurer Imperial Paul, the World-Changer, Had Too \ aried a Life for Mirroring on Screen— His Human Relations — An Eloquent Farewell Address.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Motion plctun-a are nowadays going in for historical aub>« ta: but no producer has had the «ud •city to attempt to film the life Os the Apoetle Paul. Hr la too big foi any screen. No picture could l» gm to record the adventures (recall the mob acenes?) the travel, the speeches, the personal reintlonshlpa. of ihl« workingmanscholar. thia pedestrlanurator, this prisoner prophet, thia lone mganilaer and imperialist On all the | bonson of blatory we can discern Ino other figure like unto Paul a. He has had successors, such as I John Huas, of Bohemia. Martin I Luther, of Germany. John Kuoi. iof Scotland. Savonarola, of Flor’ence; but no equal. The enterprtaea that he launched, and which we have been a'udying in these cur- | rent 1.-seoim. still sweep on in i world girdtnc vigor. What a man! If conditions in hie day created a Paul, why may we not hope that out of our present world chaos [there may emerge a kindred figj are. to pioneer the great simpllI cities of the teat hinge of Jeeue inIto the modem realme where they 'are largely inoperative? The big- ■ nees of the task, and the fullness of God’s promised enabling, are eloquently present: only the small--ness oi man’s own conception of his mission hinders Why are big | m-n so little in such an epocbal time? Why are the ears of talentbed youth deaf to the call of the i crisis? i God give us men! A time like this ' demands | Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready hands. Men whom the lust of office does not kill: Men whom the spoils of ufflee can-1 not buy. Men who poaeeas opinions and a , . will. Men who have honor, men who will not lie: Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flattereriea without winking Tall men. aun-erowiied. who live above the fog i In public duty and in private thinkI tag. —Josiah Gilbert Holland. Rough Stuff This scnsitivo-apirtted Paul did not abrink from the hurly-burly nf i life. Although be was delicately i fibred, easily hurt, aud alert to' * the finer thinga of life, he did not seek a cloistered ebrner for himself Instead, he plunged Into the thick of adventurous activity. He who might have been a sheltered scholar fn the seclusion of the Temple Area of Jerusalem, those to follow the humble trade of weaver; and. supporting himself, travelled in poverty to the central spots of Rom-"s far flung domain. He faced hostile crowds: was im- . prisoned, beaten, atoned, shipj wrecked, left for dead; only to take up afresh hia task of telling ■ the Story destined to tuak" over the world. Instead of shunning the | places where he had been itl-iroal-i nd. he returned again and again, tn strengthen the brethren and to build up the Church. Like a master strategist. Paul concentrated his force upon hia pivotal centers of the greM cities. I City news spreads everywhere. His ' longest sojourn, about three yours.

No evidence of the , famous Temple of Diana remains; , although there are ruined churchea ■>- Sibling tho gpe.it "Double rhurch" wherein tho early Christian councils were held. The whole place is redolent with memories of Paul, and of John, and of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and of Luke and Timothy and Apollo* and other Christian leader* A Great Man'* Farewell As he hastened on from Greece to Jerusalem, where he wanted to be for Pentecost. Paul called the <<|dan« of rtie Ephesian ChuAh down to Miletus. That farewell scene and address are one of tho high apots of all literature. They need no comment: "And when they were come to him. he said unto them. “Ye yourselves know, from the first day that 1 set foot In Asia, after what manner I was with you all the time, serving the Lord with all lowlinesa of mind, and with tears, and with trials srhlch befell me by the plots of the Jews; how I shrank not from declaring unto you anything that was profitable, and leaching you publicly, and from house to house, testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God. and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. And now. behold. I gt> hound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me I there: save that the Holy Spirit ( testlfieth unto me in every city. ' saying that bonds anti affllcatlons I abide me. But I hold not my life |on any account as dear unto myself, so that i may aceompltoh my i course, and the ministry which I i received from the Lord Jesus, to ' testify the gospel of the grace of i God. And now. behold. I know that 'ye all. among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, shall tee my face no more. Wherefore 1 testify unto you thia day. that I am pure from the blood of all nnn. For I shrank not from declaring unto you the whole counsel of God. Take heed unio yourselves, and to all the flock, tn which the Holy Spirit hath made you bishops, to feed the church of the Lord which he purchased with his own blood. I know that after my departing grievous wolves shall enter in among you. not sparing the flock; and from among your own solve* shall men arise, speaking perverse • things, to draw away the disciples after them. Wherefore watch ye, 1 remembering that by the space of : three years I ceased not to admoii- [ tsh every one night and day with tears. And now I commend you to God And to the word of his grace, which ia able to build yon up. and to give you the inheritance atnong all them that are sanctified. I coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. Ye yourselves know that these hands ministered unto my necessities and to them that were with mr. In all thinga I gave you an example, that so laboring ye ought to help tho weak, and to remember the words of the laird Jesus, that he Mtnself said. It i" more blessed U> give than to receive. » '•And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down and prayed with them all. And they all wepi sore, aud fell on Paul's neck and kissed him. sorrowing moat of all for the word which hr had s|<okcn. that they should behold his fa<e no more.
