ANCIENT RUINS AND A LIVINGFORCE

IBy WILLIAMT. ELLIS.

The International Sunday School lesson for Juitc 22 is

?Lore."?l. Corinthians 13.

Recently I was at Corinth, Greece,ne of the famous cities of the an-ient world. Now it is a ruin, andshowy memory. The most impor-int fact about this once-distin-ulshed city is that it held a littleimpany of Christians, to whom thepostle Paul wrote a letter contain-ig his peerless panegyric uponive. This analysis of the greatestT all qualities is the high-waterlark of the writings of tho most

contributor to the Newestament.What is left of Corinth is in two

arts, the old town and the new.he latter is the conventionalivantine community, of square,>d-roofed. two-story houses, of aredominantly gray hue. A double-irreted Greek church is the oneitstanding landmark of the presentty that once gave its name to ayle of architecture. The old town

squalid and uninteresting. Bothe on the southern shore of the BayT Corinth, at the entrance to theorinthian Canal. They are situat--3 on a narrow stretch of lowland: the foot of encircling mountains,

fhen bathed in the rosy glow ofmrise, even those modern occu-ants of the Corinthian plain loseleir ugliness. None of the glorylat once was Corinth survive toimmon a traveler.Inevitably, the place brings

ironging to mind memories ofaul, who visited her, and whoseork has proved more durable thanty of the marble monuments ofnperors and conquerors. In hisfetime he and his friends, the lit-e band of followers of The Way]hom he gathered about him, were |conspicuous members of the com-lunity. No oracle could predictat they were destined to over-irow ail that old Corinth repre-snted.

Hie Rest For Oie WorstA traveler is often stirred by

range evidences of the power ofleas. A truth is the most triumph-it thing in the universe. Many arele monuments of mere force thatave crumbled into dust. Wherever

principle has come into conflicttth material might, the principleas ultimately been victorious. Cor-ith was a proud and beautiful city,le seat of famous athletic contests,3 well as of learning. All that>uld be done by wealth and author-y to gratify the desires of themses and the pride of life was doneithout stint. Ancient Greece andome did their best by Corinth?-id behold the ruin!Proud Corinth was profligate. Sheit out to gratify her appetites, aft-

r cultivating the latter most skill-illy; and, as always happens, alan or a people who does this be->mes degenerate. So wicked wasorinth that her name grew to hele accepted synonym for the worst>rms of vice. To "Corinthianizo"iems to have passed into speech as

the worst that bestiality I>uld do to a man. 1That is the background of this

perfect piece of literature! Did everlovelier marble come from filthierslime? We cannot pass over thesignificant fact that Paul's poem onlove was written to people who livedin Corinth. He gave of his best tothese who lived amid the worst.Corinthian Christians were not onlycalled to be saints, like lilies grow-ing in black mud, but they werebidden to accept this highest stan-

| dard of perfection as their way oflife. Evidently nobody is excused byhis circumstances from pursuing thenoblest standards.**Tlie Greatest Tiling in the World"

More suggestive than any com-ment upon this poem concerningwhat Henry Drummond, in hischarming little book, called "TheGreatest Thing in the World," is thetext itself, the very words of theApostle, as we have them In theRevised Version:

Now abideth faith, hope, love,these three, and the greatest ofthese is love.?l. Cor. 13:13.

Some Soldier SurprisesAs Babylon was built of ordinary

clay, so the chotciest characters areformed of the commonest materials.There Is nothing in this chapterupon love that is dependent uponsome great flight of genius. It is nota mystery for monks, a riddle forscholars. All the elements of per-fect love, which the inspired recordmakes synonymous with God him-self, are for practice by the mosteveryday sort of folk. The womanin the kitchen, the man in the shop,the youth on the farm or in the of-fice, may display the qualities that

| make up the composite called love.| We have learned from our sol-diers that there are unsuspectedqualities in even the most common-place persons. Most of the heroesof whom we have read have beenvery ordinary young men in civillife. War gave unsuspected poten-tialities an opportunity. The worldnow knows that everybody is capa-ble of higher possibilities than wehad in peace time surmised. Capac-ity for heroism, and capacity forsainthood, are dormant in the aver-age men and woman.

Only to-day a thoughtful solldersaid to me that humanity must rec-ognize that there are two classes ofpeople in the world, those capableof self-government, and those not.His contention is that a certainsmall group of nations must foreverrule the whole world, and that in-stead of there being less imperial-ism, there must be more. Amidstthe troubled scenes where my lotis at present cast, I hear this view-point frequently expressed or im-plied. It runs squarely athwart thebasic idea of the New Testament,which is that even the least havecapacity for the best; that the verydweller amidst the 'sensuality anddebauchery of Corinth could becomea superlative Christian.

A Dynamic for the New Day-Nothing could be more timelyI

' than this lesso-n. Mankind is in amuddle. At this writing the Paris i

Peace Conference is itself in a state

discord. It has revealed, instead ofabolishing, the old selfishness that

reside in the breasts of nations as ofindividuals. AH around the hori-zon is trouble, and portents of fur-ther and worse disturbances darkenthe horizon. Many persons are fair-

| ly despairing of human society, and

[ talking of a reversion to Jungle con-j ditions.

What is the word for this particu-lar time? Paul wrote it. By theway of lovo, all men everywherecan come to brotherhood, and to thebest of self-realization. One year ofan honest effort on the part ofeverybody to fulfill the teachings ofthe Thirteenth Chapter of .FirstCorinthians would solve all theproblems that have vexed the peaceconference. There would be no dis-cordant pride, jealousy, fear andambition, if we were ail attemptingto walk by the rolay rule of love.

Perhaps in this bewildering timewe may learn how workable are thewords of Holy Writ. Christianity isone philosophy that remaiiis seri-ously untried among the nations.I.ove's law still waits its chance.Pending the glorious day when love.Christian love, such as our lessonteaches?withall its contrasts toprevalent social theories ?shall havea full exemplification in the world,suppose we try it individually, asthe rule of conduct best worth put-ting into practice? If the Chris-tians of North America were to ac-cept Paul's counsel, this would be atransformed and transforming land.There is nothing so workable as Jove.
