LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 11
PAUL IN ATHEN3..
LESSON TF.XT—Acts 17:II-M.
GOLDEN TEXT—In Mm w. live, and
move, and hsv. our being.—Acta 17:3S.
REFERENCE! MATERIAL-Luk< 4:tS-
* j .
PRIMARY* .TOPIC—Paul Telling the
People about God.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul In Athena.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
—In a Famous Greek City. '
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—Paul In a Center of Learning. Being
Driven from Berea, Paul Fled to Athena
I. f he Idolatry of the Athenians
(v. 16).
Athens tv^s the intellectual metrop
olis of the world at that lime, the
home of the world's great eloquence
nnd philosophy. Paul’s spirit was
stirred within him when he saw the
city wholly given .to Idolatry.
II. The Parties Concerned (vv. 17-
21).
True to his usual custom Paul went
Into the Jewish synngogue and eutered
Into earnest argument with the Jews.
From them he turned to such as were
found In the market place. Here he
came Into touch with the Epicurean
and 8t0c philosophers. Tiie former
were atheistic materialists. They de
nied the doctrine of Creation. They
irnve themselves up to sensual In
dulgences since they had no Idea of
future judgment. The Intter were
pantheists. When they heard the
{preaching of Paul they desired to
know what new doctrine he prenphed.
so they Invited him to the Areopagus
where he might speak to them of hi?
new doctrine. They inquired as to
wbat this “babbler” might say. The
word “babbler” means literally “seed
picker.”
III. Paul's Address on Mart* Hill
(vv. 23-31).
1. The Introduction (vv. 22, 23). Hr
did not accuse them of “superstition’
at the A. V. would make It, but ns It
the Am. R. V. he Introduces his dls
course In a courteous and conciliator)
manner, stating that he perceived that
they were very religious. This he ex
plained by stating that as he was view
ing their city he beheld an altar with
an Inscription “To the Unknown God.’
This was his point of contact. He
proceeds at once to connect it with
the Idea of the living God, .Implying
ithnt this nltnr had been erected to
'Him. was too wise to begin at
once to denounce heathenism nnd
Idolatry.
2. The body of hlo discourse (w.
24-31).
(1) A declaration concerning God
(vv. 24, 25). (a) He created the
material universe (v. 24). This was n
direct blow at the philosophy of both,
the Epicureans and the Stoics. He did
not attempt to prove the existence of
God; It need3 no proof. The Bible
everywhere assumes the existence of,
a divine being, (b) His spirituality
and Immensity (w. 24, 25). He Is
not served with “men’s hands as
though he needed anything.” neither
la He confined by any sort of religious
temple. Being essentially spiritual
lie demands lienrt-servlce, and being
transcendent above all He Is not con
fined to earthly temples, v (c) His ac
tive providence (v. 25). He gives ex
istence, bestows needed gifts, nnd as
sovereign directs all things.
(2) Declaration concerning mao (vv.
20til). (a) His common origin (v. 26).
This was a blow at \he foolish Athen
ian pride which supposed that the)
were superior to all otiierjieople. Till?
proposition he proved from their own
literature (see v. 28). If men ore tin-
offspring of Gpd nnd bear His llk*^
ness It Is utter foljy to make Image*
as the senseless Idols were, (b) Na
tions have their place by the sov
ereign purpose of God (v. 26). The
position and mission of each nation I?
of God’a appointment, (c) Men should
seek God (v. 26). Ills goodness lin d
grace In supplying all our needs, and
ordering even the affairs of the na
tions should move man to see nnd seek
God, for He Is Indeed very near to
every one; so near that our existence
and movements are all under His con
trol (v. 27). (d) Pressing obligation
to repent (vv. 30, 31). This was his
supreme message. Though God had
formerly passed over idolatry He now
calls to all men to repent. The solemn
reason for such action js the coming
day of Judgment, the credential of
which If the resurrect loft of Jesn«
Christ from the drod, The Judgment
of God of pn unbelieving world Ik ns
sure.ns this fact. Men will be Judged
on the basis of their attitude‘toward
Jesus Christ.
IV. Result of Pabl's Preaching (vv.
82*84).
1. Some mocked (v. 32).
2. Some procrastinated (v. 32).
3. Some believed (v. 34).

tacked him. and that he shot in self-
defense. He bore several wounds.
Mrs. S. W. Thornton has been ap
pointed game warden of Baldwin
county, her commission beinfc the
onimw™.., «. first issued by the new state game
Hardwick, in antcrviqw here while an *J ***£ commissioner of Georgia,
attending the Labor Day celebration, Robert Hall Smith, of Macon,_firut-
said he hoped to be able to arrange class^miuahipman at the United^States
affairs so there will lie some relief “““
in state taxation. He also mentioned
the Ku Klux Klan, speaking of the
irganizatfon as being a faternal one;
»nd made reference to the rumored
poss : bility of a railroad strike that
will take in the entire country.
“The question that is probably the
most interesting to' the people of the
entire state is the tax question,” said
Governor Hardwick. “This is an
important matter that is worthy of
serious consideration as taxes, di-
-ectly or indirectly, affect every ev-
iry person in the state.
“I hope there is g possibility of
relieving this istuation, and it can be
done if I can dispose of the W. & A.
rentals. If this can be brought about
ho state will be nicely placed as re
gard finance, and the tax question I
■"ixmict can be adjusted satisfactorily.
“It *s an unfortunate condition to

ed that it is reported no more pa
rents can be admitted. I understand
here are oigh f persons in the Chat-
' pm county jail who ought to be ad
mitted to the sanitarium. It is my
•Mention to investigate the condition?
the sanitarium and I believe there
vill be found n way to have Chatham
oatients admitted. An enlargement
o the building appears to be a nc-
•rssity. but this cannot boundertak-
*n at the present time. It is the in
dention of »ho state to take care of
hesc unfortunate people in a proper
nanner.
“The Ku Klux Klan, as far as I
'-now. has created no trouble in Geor

“The report, that employes of the

Mo*k of provisions for the exported

“There har been comparatively no

Vnown.’ I do not wish to express my-
-Hf official iv on such a matter, for

CAMEL
Your taste will tell you that! For, Camels
have the flavor and fragrance of choicest tobaccos,
perfectly blended. They’re smooth and mellow-
mild.
And there’s NO CIGARETTY AFTER
TASTE.
We put the utmost quality, into this one brand.
Camels are as good as it’s possible for skill, money
and lifelong knowledge of fine tobaccos to make a
cigarette.
That’s why Camels are THE QUALITY
CIGARETTE.
