REV. ]. ]. DICKEY.

In this lesson we find Paul at Ath-
ems. the capital of Greece, the intellect
ual center of the world. He is the
same fearless preacher of the gospel
here as he was in provincial cities Of
Europe and Asia and he preached the
same gospel - Jesus and the resur-
rection. Paul was equipped by nature,
training and grace to measure arms
with the intellectual giants of any ma
tion in matters of religion. He had
met Jesus Christ and was inspired by
the Holy Ghost, concerning the truths
OF human salvation. He was at home,
anywhere in discussing these ques-
tons. Standing where Socrates, Plato
and Aritotle had taught concerning
Immortality and human relationships,
he boldly proclaimed that the uniter-
ion God whom their ignorantly wor-
SHIPPED, was the Maker of all things,
that of one blood he had made all ma
tons, that there would be a resurrec-
ton of the bodies of all man and a
final judgment. and Jesus Christ was
the worlds great Redeemer.
The Greeks were astounded at these
new and strange doctrines, and asked
that they might hear more about them.
We have no record further on this sub
ject, so we cannot tell whether or not
he responded to this call. However,
the record tells that among others
there was one Aropagyle who adhered
to Paul Before Paul delivered this adj
dress he had disputed in the syna-
gosue with the Jews, and with devout
oalscns. and in the market place daily,
with them that met with him. These
private disputations had awakened in
ter ST, and led to request that there
be a public presentation of these new
doctrines; and the address, which is
the lesson for today is the result. We
have in this epitemy of Paul's address
DR.. Luke's ability to condense, and
yet give clear statements of the truth.
He was great reporter. The great
fundamental doctrines of Christianity
are comprehended in this brief, mas
terly address as here reported. NO
doubt in~the full address these doc
trines we're largely elaborated. Great
men make great opportunities. Their
commanding talents lift them to posi-
tons which give chance to dissem-
mate their theories or truths, as the
case may be. 1t is something to get
the ear Of the powerful and influential
in propagating the truth. 1t is great
picture - the gifted and learned apos-
tie to the Gentiles, standing in the
worlds center of philosophy and pro-
gressive thought, putting the Christian
religion into the catalogue of their

first time this wonderful sermon and

was ready today to consider actual
changes in the House bill as we'll as
broad policies Of taxation. Chairman

pleted in little more than a week 80
that It might be ready for the Senate
when Congress reconvenes late this
month.
There was very free discussion
with Secretary Mellon regarding the
changes in the House measure sug-
gested by him and 1t may be that the
committee will seek further informa-
ton on some Of the points. The COM
mittee also expects to take up Senator
Shoots proposal for sales tax and
the present plan is to add some new
administrative FEATURES, including
provision for tax investigative COM
mission which was left out of the
House bill in the rush of committee
amendments at the last hour of con-
sideration.
In presenting his recommendation
the Treasury Secretary adhered to the
figures on expenditures agreed upon
at the White House tax conference last
August 9, His suggestions for changes
in the House contemplated total rev.
enue yield Of approximately $780,
100000 for this finance year and 49,
