Chance to Study Paul’s Fine Sermon on Mars’ Hill
The International Uniform Sunday School lesson for Oct. 4. Paul in Athens. —Acts 17:22-34. By William E. Gilroy, D. D. Editor of The Congregationallst OT many of Paul’s sermons have come down to us ex- * " cept as he expressed his thoughts about Christianity in his Epistles. Here, however, we have recorded a great sermon to the Athenians. It is brief in compass, occupying only the few verses of our lesson, but how profound and far-reaching in its truth. It illustrates Paul’s spirit. He had profound faith in the Gospel that he preached, and he was not afraid to bring it into the open forum of discussion. Paul found iri these ancient cities a great deal of zeal in religion that was not according to knowledge. He reminded the Athenians that they were too superstitious or too religious, for he had found as he went about the city an altar with the inscription “To the Unknown God.” This gave Paul his text, and he proceeded to define his own faith. He reveals the Unknown God as a spiritual creator who does not dwell In temples made with hands, and he asks the very pertinent question how God can be worshiped with men’s hands as if he needed anything when he himself is the giver of life and all things. This spiritual God. he says, is not far from every one of us. “In him we live and move and have our being,” and he reminds these Athenians that their own poets had asserted that we are the offspring of God. The whole question of faith and intelligent conception of God Paul hinges about this matter of the nature and origin of life. Can one doubt that the world and The new quartet will sing at the morning worship under the leadership of De Witt S. Talbert, who will be the soloist Sunday evening of this week. The preparatory service for the fall communion will be held on Thursday at 7.15 p. m., following the church night supper at 6:30. • * • AT CENTRAL UNIVERSALIS”]) CHURCH, Fifteenth and New Jersey, the Rev. Fred A. Line will preach on the subject, "Heretics, Helpers, Real Christians.” • • • REV. CHARLES H. GUNSOLUS will preach Sunday night at the Christian Spiritualist Church on “Clairaudience.“ * • • IN THE ABSENCE of Dr. Frank L. Hovis. pastor of St. Paul M. E. Church, who is attending the annual conference at Crawfordsville, Dr. George M. Smith will preach in the morning. At night Dr. M. B. Hyde will preach. Vinson H.

life have meaning? And If we are the offspring of God how can we think of God In terms of Idolatry and crude materialism? Paul says that the times of this ignorance God winked at, but now commanded all men everywhere to repent. What a time the literalists would have with such a verse as this! Does it not remind us of the way in which we must read Scripture, always mindful of the figurative way In which much is exj>ressed? Surely not even the extreme literalist would understand the words “winked at” In a really literal way. Paul’s sermon to the philosophers despite its profoundity was not apparently very successful though it did win some converts. Possibly Paul may have had this very experience at Athens in mind when he said later in writing to the Corinthians, "Not many noble are called, but God has chosen the weak things of this world to confound the mighty.” The sermon is perhaps memorable above all things for Paul’s clear, beautiful expression of the nearness of God to us and our nearness to him; “In him we live and move and have our being.” We recall inevitably in connection with Paul's spiritual conception of God that other great sermon preached by Jesus himself to the woman of Samaria at Jacob’s Well. It is only against the background of Christ's own definition, “God is a spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth,” that we can understand Paul’s words and grasp what it means to live and move and have our being in God. How can we live and move and have our being in God? The very conception seems beyond all power of man to grasp, yet It is Door.” Installation service.

only hy grasping such a conception that we can conceive of God as eternal, omnipresent Power and Goodness. Yet God must be everywhere present. How else could we conceive of the universe being upheld. Also every expression of life is a manifestation of God. Being Is a very part of God’s existence. But Paul does not leave us in nebulous pantheism. He makes our living in God and God's presence with us vitally real. He calls men to repentance and good living as the sure evidences of communion with the divine. The unknown God may become known through faith and righteousness. BILLS INCLUDE DANCING ACTS (Continued From Page 5) cess, “Georgia on Broadway.” In the act will be Earl Clator and Lillian Brown.

Back into the days when knighthood was in existence and back to the medieval glory is the time that “The Miracle” carries you back. In seeing “The Miracle” one becomes lost, completely so. You find secure peace for a time as you sit in the Music Hall in Cincinnati, Ohio, now transformed into a medieval cathedral. You are first welcomed by the peace and beauty of the giant cathedral. Then a few lights come on above the giant altar.
Then starts the greatest piece of entertainment I have ever witnessed. Nothing I have ever seen on the stage compares with this Max Reinhardt production being presented in this country by Morris Gest and F. Ray Comstock. “The Miracle*” is so vast, such a with anew comedy skit entitled “Some Simp” with Raines in the character of a farm lad who studies city styles by means of mail order catalogues. RINALDO —Internationally known as “The Wondering Violinist,” Rinaldo, as popular in Europe as he is In this country, gives a delightful program of violin elections ranging from classical to jazz and popular melodies of the day. FOUR HIGGIE GIRLS “The Gloom Chasers,” in a novel assortment of songs and musical hits. BASCOPE—Whistler and Imitator extraordinary in an act that literally sparkles with originality. ZEMATER AND SMITH—The “Step Lively Gymnasts,” who mingle comedy antics with a hazardous performance on triple horizontal bars. ON THE SCREEN—AIice Day In a comedy entitled “Cold Turkey,” A Grantland Rice Sportlight, “The Seven Ages of Sport,” Kinograms and a Pathe comedy. VOICE AMPLIFIED It is estimated that a voice speaking into the microphone of the average broadcast station is amplified more than 50,000,000 times by the time it reaches the ear of the listener.
gigantic dream to make come to life that I hesitate to attempt to do it justice. It Is the greatest undertaking the theater has ever known. That is agreed upon. There will be only a few cities that will see “The Miracle.” So far the list includes New York, Cleveland and Cincinnati. Then Boston, then St. Louis and Chicago. I saw “The Miracle" last Monday night In Cincinnati, the opening of a three weeks’ engagement. I know that there are many people from this city going to Cincinnati. Let me suggest that you first order your tickets by mail and then he in your seat not later than 7:50 p. m. You must absorb the atmosphere of this giant cathedral before the spectacle begins. Do not go in haste to this great accomplishment which becomes even greater than plain theater. Here is pantomime in its highest and truest form. Here is drama as told by pantomime, action, melody and beauty. Her?! Is drama told by tragedy, gloom and glorious accomplishment. There are over 600 men and women used in thia spectacle. They surge down the aisle, flow from both sides of the stage and then become Invisible In a second. From a mechanical standpoint, "The Miracle” Is the eighth wonder

of the world. There has been nothing like it on the American or European stage. It Is the last word up to date In the theater. There are so many reasons Xor seeing “The Miracle.” I was Impressed with the church tone, then I became lost In the artistry of iAdy Diana Manners, Iris Tree, Frederick Macklyn, Dennis D’Auburn, Fritz Feld (marvelous as the piper), Charles Peyton, C. Norman Hammond, Schuyler I,add and others. Then I became interested in the vastness of the enterprise. I could use the entire section of this department today and not give you an adequate Idea of the greatness of “The Miracle." Have been asked often: "T# It worth while to spend so much money to go to Cincinnati to see 'The Miracle?’ ” And my answer Is this: It Is worth every rent and every minute you spend “The Miracle.” Such an endeavor deserves the highest praise and support. It makes me respect the theater and its possibilities more than ever. Cincinnati Is to he congratulated in putting up $200,000 to secure “The Miracle," for three weeks. I wish it was Indianapolis that was doing such a big thing. Walt until we get our own Music Hall. Then wo will talk louder than ever to the world.
