NOTES ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 8.
Church at Corinth Founded.
Acts Is : Ill.

Golden IeXt.-Other foundation
can no man lay than that is laid,
which is Jesus Christ. 1. Corinthi-
ans 3 II.
PauPs stay in Athens seems to have
been a short one, for after the events
narrated in the last lesson, he left the
city and came to Corinth. 1t has
been a matter of some comment that
Paul did not make a longer stay in
Athens and that he left behind him
no organized church in that import
ant city. His course, however, "a
divinely guided, and in transferring
his labors to Corinth subsequent
events showed that he had followed
the Ieadings of the Holy Spirit.
Corinth was forty miles from Ath-
ems, situated on the isthmus of the
same name, and commanding both
the Aegean and the Ionian Seas. Its
advantageous position gave the city
a marked supremacy yer other cities
of Greece and the various names CIV
en- to it such as "The Star of Hellas,"
"The Eye of Greece" and 1.-THE Gate
of the PeIoponnesus," are suggestive
of it's commercial and political pre-
eminence.
Corinth, though so important q
city from a material point of view
nevertheless stood in the lowest rank
