OF history we can QiScef0 no OJnel
figure like unto Pauls. He has had
successors, such as John Huss of
Bohemia, Martin Luther of Ger
many, John Knox of Scotland, Sa-
vonarola of Florence, but no equal.
The enterprises that he launched
and which we have been studying
in these current lessons still sweep
on in world-girdling vigor. What a
man!
If conditions in his day created a
Paul, why may We not hope that
out of our present world chaos there
may emerge kindred figure to
pioneer the great simplicities of the
teachings of Jesus into the modern
realms where they are largely in
operative? The bigness of the task
and the fullness of Gods promised
enabling are eloquently present;
only the smallness of mans own
conception of his mission hinders.
Why are big men so little in such
an epochal time? Why are the ears
of talented youth deaf to the call of
the crisis?
God give us men! A time like this
demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true
faith and ready hands:
Men whom the lust of Office does
not kill;
Men whom the spoils of Office can
not buy.
Men who possess opinions and a
will;
Men who have honor; men who will
not lie,
Men who can stand before a dema-
gogue
And damn his treacherous batteries
without Winking:
Tall men, sun-croWned, who live
above the fog
In public duty and in private
thinking.
