PAUL AT CORINTH.

Ry Rev. 4. T. Stevenson.

When Paul departed from Athens.
after his short sojourn in the metropo-
lis of paganism. he turned toward
Corinth, the commercial center and
capital of Achaica- He was discour-
aged and disappointed by the indiffer-
ence Of the city of culture to his
message Paul had tried to win the
court and the city by his mastery
argument and adaptation. using their
philosophical terms without mentioning
the name of Jesus Christ and His cruel
fxion. He was a hero when he faced the
fury and frenzy Of the fanatical MODS,
but the indifference of the goddess cul-
ture of Athens filled him with despair.

ceptance of PauPs message. that pro-
nounced the death doom of their
polytheism. The sermon he delivered
upon Mars hill will be a living power
when the temples and statues to their
many gods will all be in ruins.
When Paul entered cosmopolitan
corinth. after his fifty miles of lonely
travel. he came 'fn weakness. and In
fear, and in much trembling" He had
opportunity during the journey to re-
fleet upon his failure at Athens, which
resulted in his decision to teach Jesus
Christ and Him cruicined in the great
commercial center that in spite Of its
luxurious and licentious life would be-
come the missionary base for the con-
quest of Europe for Christ and His
Church Although Paul spent more
time in Corinth than in any other city
save Antioch and Ephesus. yet the his
torian of the Acts gives less space to
hts work there than he does to the
apostles 1abors in cities where he
spent much less time. II was during
his stay at corinth that Paul sent his
letter to the Thessalonians. which was
considered in the lesson two weeks
ago. Before Paul commenced his work
IN corinth he had to intrench himself
by securing a residence. resources and
reinforcements.

One of the pressing problems that
Paul had to solve was due to his need
Of home. for he was without frineds.
He was compelled to ind work,
for his finances were quite low.
One of the hardest tasks that con-
fronted the ambassador of heaven
TO earth. who was bringing to
cortn.h the greatest message ever de-
livered to this world, was to locate a
lodging place. The gay and giddy
crowd passed the lonely stranger. who
entered the city more than usually de-
jected. without a friend TO guide him
or Introduce him. There was nothing in
the appearance of Paul that would at
tract the attention of the city, whose
thoughts were filled with the questions
OF commerce and of pleasure
Paul in his efforts to secure a home
turned to the union or guild Of tent
makers in the Jewish quarter of the
city. where he found among his own
countrymen a place to work that en-
abled him to rest and recuperate his
spirits. He found a home with Aouilla,
who was a native Of Pontus. a city not
far from Tarsus who with his wife, had
recently been expelled from Rome with
the rest Of the Jews because of their
controversies over Christ. Both Aquiila
and his wife Priscilla, who later be-
came helpful co-workers with Paul in
the advancement of the interest of the
kingdom, were in all proba bility Chris
tians. because there is no record of
their baptism. They were tent makers
which probably was one of the reasons
why Paul sought them out, for he was
independent and not afraid of homes,
