Presbyterians to Hear

India’s Farm Teacher

hundred Presbyterians from Indianapolis and nearby towns will hold a mass meeting Wednesday at 7:45 p. m. to hear Dr. Sam Higginbottom tell what the church is doing for India's starving millions.

The meeting will be held in the First Presbyterian Church, Dr. Higginbottom has been awarded the Kaiser-i-Hind medal for improving village and rural life in India. He is Allahabad Christian Col-

Several

he conceived to be the fulfillment of the religious teaching of the Old Testament prophets in the coming of Jesus, the Messiah, and in the Gospel concerning His life, death and resurrection. Apparently Greeks or Gentiles were in the synagog as well, and were interested in Paul

and in his teachings. It throws considerable light upon the progressive nature of Jewish culture and religion that the synagog should have been to such an extent a place of open meeting and discussion. It seems to have been in some respects a sort of forum of religion, and this fact should not be lost sight of in recognizing that many of the Jews showed the hostile atti« tude toward Paul and his teaching that has been common on the part of religious people in every age and country toward those who have seemed to be setting up few teaching. A religious circles particularly, where opinions are decided and convictions strong, the attitude of hostility to anyone who seems to be an innovator or to be departing from commonly accepted conceptions of truth is so widely prevalent as to be almost normal, 4

HE thing that is really worthy of comment is that, in spite of all this, both synagogs and churches-—regardless of all their narrowness—have after all been the chief places of promulgating religfous truth. Paul found the opposition of some of the Jews so strong that he turned to the Gentiles and made the chief center of his propagandism the house of Titus Justus, whose house was adjacent to the synagog. The inference would be that, though Titus Justus was a devout man who worshiped God, he was a Gentile who had accepted the Jewish teaching concerning the one

God. But Crispus, the ruler of the

accepted Paul's preaching, and with many other Corinthians, he was baptized.

Paul seems to have been in the midst of a great deal of ferment in spite of the encouragement he ree ceived, because by night there came a vision to him, giving him strength and urging him that he should not be afraid. ” ” » HE result was that Paul spent one of the longest periods of his whole missionary journeys in the city of Corinth, staying at that time for a whole year and six months, presumably following his occupation as a tentmaker while teaching the word of God. It is interesting, in the light of Paul's experiences in Corinth and his long stay there, to read Paul's letters to the Corinthians—the longest two of his Epistles.

The portion of the Epistle attached to this lesson brings very vividly before us Paul's recollection of his time spent in Corinth and the spirit in which he had carried on his ministry there. The church at Corinth had eminent and fluent speakers, like Appollos, and in contrast with these, Paul, who was evidently not so fluent, felt his weakness.

It is strange to find a man who seems so bold and courageous in matters of faith admitting that he was with the Corinthians “in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.” It throws an interesting light upon what great faith and strong convictions can do to over= come natural weakness and hesita«
