PAGE SIX awuy schooi lesson | PAUL WORKS A HARD FIELD International Sunday School Lesson for May 7th, 1939 GOLDEN TEXT: “I can do all things in him that strengthenth me.”—Phil. 4:13. (Lesson Text: Acts 18:1, 4-11; 1 Cor. 2:1-5.) Continuing on his second mission ary journey Paul comes to the fa mous city of Greece, Athens, learn ing and art recognized this ancient city as their home, and such names as Colon, Pericles, Socrates, Aristotle, Herodotus, Aeschylus, Demosthenes, Phydias, and others are renowned to this day. The ruins of the Parthe non have won for it recognition as the world’s most beautiful building. Such an atmosphere was not wholly new to Paul, who had been reared at Tarsus, where, like at Athens, there had been a great university. Paul was a highly educated man, well versed in the knowledge and litera ture of his day. At Athens he came into contact with what the world would call “culture,” yet it was at this city he met with such indiffer ence that he retired checkmated and chagrined. The Athenians were always on the lookout for something new, according to Luke which description might apply to many of our own people today, for many of our citizens are taken in by new cults and ideas regularly. Will ingly they gave Paul an opportunity to proclaim his new faith, ready for a clash of philosophies and a duel of intellects, which Paul did, utilizing a monument in the city for an introduc tion to his subject. He argued as he had at Lystra, setting forth his ideal in contrast to nature-worship, but when Paul mentioned the resurrec tion the crowd laughed and left him. A few converts were gained, however, one of high local rank. To Corinth Paul went from Athens. Here was a city renowned for its wickedness and sensuality, even among pagan people, where the god dess Venus (Aphrodite) was esteem ed. Commerce was important for this city was on a narrow peninsular which was the connecting lane for rthe northern and southern parts ot i Greece and, at the same time, offer ied a short transit for merchandise to be transferred from ships in the Ad riatic to the others in the Aegean. In this city Paul remained eighteen , months, staying most of the time ■f"" 1 110 DAY FREE TRIAL I I ....SAVE UP TO *10022 I Read will more ibai 350,000 fanilies pre- j| ter Ibis aaaziig air-cooditioied refrigerator J There is one best way to a | |j W&m HOME.

To the synagogue Paul went, as usual, in an effort to Christianize the Jews. He met some success as the accession of Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue showed, but the Jews in the main violently fought his teachings and were incited to heated and persistent hostility. Afterwards ' Paul held his meetings in the home 1 of Titus Justus, a Roman convert of ’ Judaism, probably, whose house was > located near the synagogue. Success ' greeted the missionary work in Cor ' inth, and we are told that many ! believed. In his Epistle to the Corinthians, written while he was at Ephesus, • during his third missionary tour, ! Paul frankly admits that he was at 1 Corinth “in weakness and in fear, * and in much trembling.” Paul did not pretend to be any superman, but ! this very admission of doubt and I dread serves to enhance his own cour ■ age and persistency as we look beck ' upon the straight and steadfast course he pursued to a glorious cul mination. At first in Corinth Paul labored ' alone; soon afterwards, however, he was assisted by Silas and Timothy. A vision which Paul had in this heathen city is remarkable in its en couraging power. Once again Christ appeared to Paul, somewhat discon solate and discouraged, and told him not to fear but to speak out boldly, “for I have much people in this city.” Something like Jehovah’s encourage ment to the old prophet Elijah, but here Christ was claiming souls which had not heard of him. Paul learned from his experience at Athens. There he taught in a su perior attitude toward life, relying too much on the intellectual appeal I of his message to secure converts and roach men. When he got to Corinth he altered his message for, [ as he wrote them later, while there j he emphasized the personal element I of Christ and told of his atoning sac- j rifice for mankind. Some preachers l and religious teachers today make j I their discourses too much of a lecture; on ancient history, customs, and | faiths, and overlook that conversion I is a spiritual experience to be j ’ brought about by personal faith in j: Jesus and an individual acceptance ; of him.
