gave Timothy big. hard jobs to do.
Paul would have had scan> IA
tience with the modern definition Of
a certain university as "a luxurious
country club, for the pleasurable
prolongation of the period of ado
lescence." He believed in the edu-
cational value of hard knocks and
high adventure, as he sought to
train this finely bred youth to carry
on the apostolic labors That same
task confronts all persons with a
sense of responsibility today. We
covet for youth stamina, initiative,
endurance and vision of the long,
rough road by which greatness is
attained.
All the temptations of modern
youth confronted Timothy, especial
ly that Of being an intellectual and
religious doctrinaire: for cults and
alterations abounded in the Graeco-
Roman cities. 1t was as easy then
as now to be a futile intellectual" +"
following the latest fashions in isms
and spouting the current CATCH
words, instead of buckling down to
stern, constructive discipline and
useful service. Give attendance to
reading" urged Paul. Fortunately,
Timothy did not have to withstand
the cheap allure of the flutter-
Drained magazines and trashy nov
els which steal SO much of modern
youths time.
This morning I read the hand
book of the Philadelphia Christian
Endeavor Union, and it was inspir-
ing to look over the long roll of
young men and women who are
making their lives count in a large
way; who are having the discipline
and pleasure Of learning to work
with others for objectives outside
Of their own interests. 1 often Won

He Wrote Letters.
Correspondence, it is often re-
marked in the reviews of lives and

nowadays think that they have no

of coincidence, there is no such init
mate and free exchange of thought
as has given us the precious volumes
of an earlier day.
Paul was not too busy to write
letters. In addition to his general
epistles to the churches, he wrote
four letters to individuals which are
now part of the New Testament
canon-two to Timothy, one each
to Titus and Philemon. These re-
veal such an outpouring of af1ec-
tionate interest in his friends, of
whom he thought and for whom he
prayed every day, that they shed a
flood Of light upon the character of
the great-hearted apostle.
His life was vitality bound up with
that of his friends He cared sin
cerely for individuals. A detection
in friendship wounded him deeply.
The constancy of others was his
solace and support. I think it was
Charles Sumner who once grandilo-
quently declared Il have no time
for individuals" Whereupon the
person addressed replied, Then you
have improved upon God Al
mighty" There is no genuine
greatness without an interest in
individuals. Possessed of this gift,
one is sure of a radiant life, free
from the blight of self-centered-
ness.
DR.. Byington once formed "The
League of the Golden Pen"-per-
SONS who agreed to write friendly
letters, leisurely letters, heartening
letters. Whether the organization
survives or not I do not know; but
1t should have millions of members.
This weeks lesson upon Paul's per-
sonal letters, so full of wise counsel
for living, should inspire multitudes
to sit down and write those long
overdue letters to the home folk
and to kindred and friends. As 1
have watched countless women rush
out to rural mail boxes to see what
the postman has left: and as I
have stood in the crowds in Florida
post Offices. have had a vision of
what letters may mean to the
recipients.
Looking Over a Shoulder.
Thanks to . the survival of four
OF Pauls letters-doubtless he wrote
hundreds-we may, as 1t were, look
over his bent and weary shoulders
as he poured out his heart to his
son in the spirit, Timothy. The
second of these letters is the last
OF Paul's writings that We possess.
Both make inspiring reading for
youth; a thorough mastery of them
Is equipment for life They contain
sure, clear guidance for youth in all
OF its present problems.
Like the letters to young Titus,
to whom Paul had given a big lob
In Crete, those to Timothy abound
in counsel for the conduct of the
churches and for the life of Chris
tians. There is light also upon the
employer-employe situation.
The little letter to Philemon, con-
corning the return of a runaway
slave, Onesimus, who had become a
Christian and friend and helper
OF Paul, Is unique. 1t, like the
others, reveals that Christ is the
solution Of every one of nfe's in
tricate problems.

briefly.
On July 1, 1857, the congregation,
which was to later occupy the pres
ent building. purchased from the
Central Presbyterian Church the
property at Eighth and H streets
NV, later sold to the Hebrew con-
gregation in 1868. A small frame
building was erected on the north
side of P street between Fourteenth
and Fifteenth streets NV, which

church is known as The Repre-
sentative Church." as 1t is the gift
of Southern Methodism to the Ma
tional Capital. Funds necessary for
its erection were given by the local
congregation and members of the
denomination through the entire
South. The marble came from Geor-
gia and the wood from Louisiana
and the Carolinas. The generosity
of the late Col. Sam P. Tate of
Georgia made possible the use of the
marble. The floors were the gift
Of A. j. Peavy of Louisiana.
A new educational building will be
erected this summer to provide ade-
quate facilities for classrooms, rec
reational and social programs. The
approximate cost will be 100000.
