Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1909-09-02

Oook tnat the EndeayorerS or the
world are called to study this week.
AT the present moment, when there is
deal of flabby, inconsequential and
undigested discussion Of new" relig-
ion and new" thought, 1t Ia important
that the stimulus of this tremendous
essay should be impaired to the minds
of those who are learning to do their
own thinking. Especially valuable
should 1t be, in acrediting the historic
Christian faith, to have young people
perceive the shallowness and inanity
OF the modern high-sounding preten.
sions Of men who, as thinkers. are to
this great philosopher, Paul of Tarsus,
as the Chinese astrologer is to the late
astronomer, Simon Newcomb. The
man who sneers at the New Tesla
ment teaching as being crude, print
tive and outgrown, simply writes him
self down as unfamiliaE with the New
Testament.
When did Paul write this treinen-
dous letter? He had never been in
Rome. The church there was not di
rectly Of his founding; and surely he
had cares enough with his own
churches to engross him. There We're
lesser and greater reasons for the writ
,nE OF .nls eplsee. paul had persona
lrlehos among the CHRISTIANS In Rome;
and. secondly, he wished to advise the
brethren in the city OF the Caesars of
his purpose to visit them. Primarily,
though, his warrant was that of every
great spirit who feels himself possess.
