In the Religious World
6y WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

we are the offspring Of God, we ought
not to think that the Godhead is like
unto gold, or silver. or stone, craven
by art and mans device. And the
times Of this ignorance God winked at;
but now commanded and men every
where to repent: Because He hath ap-
pointed a day, in which He will judge
the world in righteousness by that man
whom He hath ordained; whereof he
hath given assurance unto all men, IN
that he hath raised him from the dead.
And when they heard OF the resur.
rection of the dead, some Knocked; and
others said, We will hear thee again
OF this matter. So Paul departed from
them. Howbeit certain men clave I'M
to him, and believed: among the
which was Dionysius the AreopaGte
and a woman named Damaris, and otn'
ers with them"
II like to see Christianity travel flrst
class" remarked a city man apropos
OF a great banquet of laymen. We are
outgrowing the fashion Of establishing
religion in dingy buildings up side
streets. There was day whom religion
and mediocrity were synonymous IN
the minds Of many. Now we are get
ting back to the wholesomeness OF the
middle ages, when tho best buildings
the finest books and the loveliest paint
ings were devoted to religion. !,
That is Paul's idea. He assumed
that Christianity was able to hold lts
own with the greatest philosophers OF
the most philosophical age OF the
worlds history. (By the way, the
preachers who are troubled by the
prevalence of new cults would DO Wen
to look them up in the old books, Tor
they are but curious revampings OF out
worn Grecian and oriental philoso-
phies.)
This man Paul, himself a scholar OF
the first class, dared carry the gospel
of the Crucified to the proudest centers
of the arrogant world OF his day he
challenged all the religious concep..
tons and convictions of Rome ana
Greece under the shadow OF the Acrop-
oils of Athens, which to this DAY IS
one OF the worlds fairest sights. he
stood up in the Aeropagus ana eA-
rounded his message as the fulhllment
of all that philosophy had brought to
Greece. Nobody can find any warrant
for a merely defensive and apologetlc
Christianity in this valiant old soldier
scholar, Paul of Tarsus. He STANDS
the embodiment of concrete scholar
ship.

Acts II: 1854.
(By william T. Ellis.)

= One Of the classical examples OF
oratory quoted in all standard books Is
the address of the Apostle Paul on
Mars Hill. Here is the address itself
Nov while Paul waited for them a,
Athens, his spirit was stirred In him
when he saw the city wholly given to
idolatry. Therefore disputed he in the
synagogue with the Jews, and with the
devout persons, and in the market
daily with them that met with him
Then certain philosophers OF the Epi
cureans, and of the Stocks, encounter
ed him. And some said. What will this
babbler say? Others said, He seemetf
to be setter forth Of strange gods
because he preached unto them Jesus
and the resurrection. And they took
him and brought him unto Aeropagus
saying, May we know what this new
doctrine, whereof thou speaketh, Is
For thou ,bringest certain strange
things to our ears: we would know
therefore what these things mean

which were there spent their time IN

hear some new thing.) ~ .r.,..<-..

Iowa City, July 12.-Some definite
plans for the improvement Of the road
just north and south Of the Curtis
bridge across the Iowa river in the
northern part of the county have been
presented by County Engineer Fisher
and are to be undertaken at once. The
approaches north and south to the
bridge are to be brought to a six per
cent grade instead of ~ per cent
grade as at present. North of the
bridge for a distance of 1000 feet the
road is to be filled and raised to a
height above that Of average high
water, but not above maximum high
water. This stretch of highway is on
the Burlington way, the Red Ball
route and the Diagonal trail, besides
being the main highway from Iowa
City to Cedar Rapids, and the i'm
provement is one which has been
needed for years. The work will con-
stitute the biggest single job to be
undertaken on the roads of the county
