A PRECIOUS BOATLOAD WE have already considered thfc writing of the four gos pels. The date of (he first of them, Mark, is about 61, arid Paul reach ed Cqrinth ten years earlier, in 51. Up to that time the story of the life of Jesus had been told orally. No one felt the need of a writ ten biography ; no one felt qualified to write it. So it was not with the gos pels that the actual writing of the New iTestament began, Ibut with the let- Iter which Paul in Bruce Barton T?1"1" old church in Thes- selonica, the Epistle . to the Thes salonians. You will be interested in the story. Go back to the period before Paul's arrival in Corinth, to his crossing from old Troy to Europe. He had seen a vision of a man of Macedonia inviting him into Eu rope, and he went. The little boat that carried him and his three com panions, Timothy, Silas and Luke, .before the most precious freight that ever landed on the western shore of the Mediterranean. But Paul did not meet the man of Macedonia.. For a good while he hadta hard time. As we have al ready noted, he was beaten and wmmi i wu i fightings and within were fears," When he arrived in Corinth he was alone, having left Silas at Berea, and Timothy at Thessalonica. The weeks while he waited for them to come to him were a period in which Paul was very near to nervous prostration. If it had not been for Priscilla's good cooking and the companionship which he found with her and her husband he might have broken down entire ly. His whole work since coming to Europe seemed a total failure; it had brought only hardship and humiliation. He was afraid Timothy and Sil as would never come. He was afraid they would be mobbed lo death. And if they came he feared they would say: "It's no use. These people just will not hear the good news. In Philippi they say that if they had us back in jail we would ( never get out. In Berea they are ready to quote the Jewish law against us and say that Jesus did not measure up to the prophecies. In Thessalonica we dared not go on the streets in daylight. In Athens your sermon is a joke." So in his lonesomeness he con jectured and was tortured by his imagination. But one day two dus ty travelers arrived in Corinth, found the Ghetto, and there in quired if a man was boarding some where in town, a small, wiry, ner vous man of defective sight, named Paul. To 'their joy they learned that he was staying with Aquila imprisoned in Philippi, mobbed in; and Pricsilla; they hunted him up, Scenes As Federal Court Grinds Insull Grist jgjjj ffj pvtif I &fifl& ' ''"jsjss OHICAGO . . .
