PAUL AT ATHENS.
LESSON TEXT—Act* XT:16-»4.
GOLDEN TEXT—In him we Hv*. and
move and hav* our being.—Acts 17:21.
At bang! What s name to conjure
wltb. Athens bag always epitomized
tbs seme of IntellectualUin, culture,
art, and esthetic accomplishment.
Driven from Berea and alone, Paul fled
to the coast and taking sbtp crossed
over to the Theasaloulan peninsula.
Entering the city—be bebolde Its stat-
uary, meets Its philosophers and views
Its moral degradation and its myriad
manifestations of heathenism. Out-
wardly cultured, molding the thought
of the world, yet it passed from its
pinnacle of power because It knew not
Qod. Paul aaw the pantheism of the
cultured Stoics and the Epicureans,
who because of their distant and but
little concerned gods, enjoyed the
pleasure of wealth and ease.
I. Paul Brought to Trial (vv. 16-21).
Such sights stirred the spirit of Paul.
The marvel la how Indifferent we may
become In the presence of the great
spiritual poverty of our time. His
Spirit stirred within him, when be saw
the city crowded with idols. As Paul
followed his custom and began his
preaching In the synagogue ho also
took advantage of the opportunity to
do open-air work In the market place.
Hero a small group and there another.
This ho did dally until the teachers
(v. 18) began to take knowledge of
his presence In their city. Some In
contempt called him a “babbler," while
others concluded that be represented
some new religion, though ho set be-
fore them the same message of salva-
tion in Jesus Christ which had caused
such remarkable results olsowhere.
That they might hear him more fully
and without tho Interruption of the
mart of trade, Paul is taken to the
Areopagus, or Mars Hill, where from
time Immemorial the greatest crim-
inals had been sentenced and the most
solemn questions of religion set-
tled.
II. The Unknown Made Known, (rv.
22-29). Such idle speculation (v. 21)
was of no value to the Athenians. This
Paul knew, yet he began his address
In a most conciliatory manner (v. 22
R. V.). He would win their favorable
attention before he called them to re-
pentance.. Keenly observant, Taul had
seen among the many inscriptions one
"to the unknown Qod," and this one
whom In Ignorance they worshiped, he
would sot forth. Many today are In
blindness, seeking to khow God when
he has already been mado manifest (to
be seen). (John 1:18; John 6:20; John
14:9; II Cor. 4:6.) It is man's own
fault If bo does not know Qod (Rom.
1:20-22, 28; II Cor. 4:4), and no knowl-
edge is more Important (John' 17:8),
Paul's opening words in vcr3o 24 were
but to seize a well-known object of
their street decoration and discussions
and with it to lead on to the great
truth he yearned to have th .a compre-
hend. Thi3 caught the philosophers
as well as the idlo curious. God is ntt
a philosophic conception of the mind.
>He cannot be confined to temples
made with bands nor does he need the
services cf our. hands, seeing he cre-
ated all things and glvcth to all thlng3
life. Paul's next point was that. “He
hath made of one every nation of
men." As yet how little men really
believe that truth—witness the Euro-
pean conflict and tho economic, racial
and social differences of this land.
-Negro segregation and Astatic oxclu-
oion are but illustrations of our sepa-
ration from tho teaching of ths broth-
erhood cf mail. But this brotherhood
Is not alono for altruistic service but
“that they should seok God.” This
was his great and glorious purpose In
creating the nations of the earth, in
setting the seasons in motion, to min-
ister to their needs, and in appointing
tho bounds of their habitations; yet
how far man has departed from that
Ideal (Korn. 1:28). It Is of the high-
est Importance that men should seek
God and he la not difficult to find for
those who seek him (Jer. 29:13).,
III. What the Athenians Lacked
(vv. 30-34). Thus far Paul’s auditors
must have followed him keenly, and
It was the goal toward which hs
had been driving so relentlessly. Such
sublime conceptions, keen logic and
quotations from their writers won
their attention. He then delivered a
keen thrust at this, the “psychological
moment," by calling upon them to “re-
pent." The Athenians lacked a realis-
ing sense of the personality of Qod—
that man could have personal and In-
timate relations with God or that a
man could or had risen from the
dead.
Any candid seeker after truth who
will examine the evldaui’e will he con-
vinced of the truth that Jeans of
Nazareth, cruclfled upon a Homan
cross, rose from the dead.
ThSee Athenians also lacked ths
ability to accept this fact and to yield
their lives lu obedience to it, and so
some tried to sueer away the truth,
but that did not altar It.
Home wore uniusnd, and some evi-
denced a curious Interest, saying, "We
will hear this again," but certain men,
Dionysius and Damarls, “believed.’*
Such hes ever been the manner of th*
reception pt glad tidings. '

vations, the office will assume tho responsibility of securing their signa-

* l essees are advised that bids on Indian leases and notification of

baens etc. must be accompanied by a drawing of the proposed improve-
