kinfolk, and one uncle was hung. She
tells him she does not mind. She
hasn't much, and no kin, and nine of
her uncles ought to have been hung
But Jesus was disgraced in the minds
of aristocracy. And another difficulty
was that Heathendom was established
Heather religions were at hight. DR..
Bulgin tells his hearers how certain
religions appeal He holds up by way
of illustration, Spiritualism. How he
went into Riley's seances in Ohio. How
he exposed trickery and deceit. Ex-
planned harp playing, the floating
hand and other mysteries. Cost him
$4,000 before he was through with the
affair. The Culture of Greek Philoso-
ply was named as another difficulty
in the way of Christian success. When
Paul visited the city of Athens and
spoke on Mars Hill it had a popula-
tion of 100000. Every native born
son 21 years old was able to read flu
emily and discuss $1,000 essays of
Greek literature and fully qualified to
become senator. We have college
men today that can't intelligently
write an editorial. The culture of
Greece at this time was as far advanc-
ed beyond ours as ours is over the
colored race of the south. But Paul
went up against it because he knew
they must be born again if they were
to inherit eternal life The Power of /
the Roman Empire is named as a /
great difficulty to the spread of |
Christianity Rome hated new relig /
ion. 1t could become a political tool. /
Caesar had a perfect system. Push |,
a button and hundred centurians ap-
peared. Each centurian could com
mand 100 men. Each hundred gather
ed each man 20 and each one of every
20 associated another man. But Rome L
was the first nation to pay the ex !
penses of christian missionary, when ,
Paul was sent there and presently Z
there are saints in Caesars household. :
There was no compromise with Paul. /,
Some preachers are so broad that they L
are not as deep as ducks knee. The
cross proved to be death blow to cor
rupt PHILOSOPHERS. Here is slime from
The pool Analyze it. Sand, clay, SCOT,
water. Out of the sand comes the
opal; out of the clay, the sapphire; out
Of the SCOT, the diamond; and out of !
the water on winters day comes the
delicate tracery Of point lace. Why is
It slime? 1t is matter out of place.
My dinner is alright where it is in my :
stomach but you would not want it in I
your lap. Christianity entered the ;
world without money, arms, influence, Z
n literature. One-eighth of the popu- :
alton waited on temples of the gods. .
The dining room in Babylon was :
nile long and 1850 feet wide. There e

ty went up against it and the invested

and warfare was waged against the O
blowers of Christ. A cartoon was +
ound in 1913 under 10 layers of +,
laster in Caesars palace. Christ is n
epresented as mule and upon his b
