ANCIENT RUINS AND A LIVING FORCE I By WILLIAM T. 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, and showy memory. The most impor int fact about this once-distin ulshed city is that it held a little impany of Christians, to whom the postle Paul wrote a letter contain ig his peerless panegyric upon ive. This analysis of the greatest T all qualities is the high-water lark of the writings of tho most contributor to the New estament. What is left of Corinth is in two arts, the old town and the new. he latter is the conventional ivantine community, of square, >d-roofed. two-story houses, of a redominantly gray hue. A double irreted Greek church is the one itstanding landmark of the present ty that once gave its name to a yle of architecture. The old town squalid and uninteresting. Both e on the southern shore of the Bay T Corinth, at the entrance to the orinthian Canal. They are situat -3 on a narrow stretch of lowland : the foot of encircling mountains, fhen bathed in the rosy glow of mrise, even those modern occu ants of the Corinthian plain lose leir ugliness. None of the glory lat once was Corinth survive to immon a traveler. Inevitably, the place brings ironging to mind memories of aul, who visited her, and whose ork has proved more durable than ty of the marble monuments of nperors and conquerors. In his fetime 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 predict at they were destined to over irow ail that old Corinth repre snted. Hie Rest For Oie Worst A traveler is often stirred by range evidences of the power of leas. A truth is the most triumph it thing in the universe. Many are le monuments of mere force that ave crumbled into dust. Wherever principle has come into conflict tth material might, the principle as 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 the mses and the pride of life was done ithout stint. Ancient Greece and ome did their best by Corinth— id behold the ruin! Proud Corinth was profligate. She it out to gratify her appetites, aft r cultivating the latter most skill illy; and, as always happens, a lan or a people who does this be >mes degenerate. So wicked was orinth that her name grew to he le 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. 1 That is the background of this _ .

Did ever lovelier marble come from filthier slime? We cannot pass over the significant fact that Paul's poem on love was written to people who lived in Corinth. He gave of his best to these who lived amid the worst. Corinthian Christians were not only called to be saints, like lilies grow ing in black mud, but they were bidden to accept this highest stan | dard of perfection as their way of life. Evidently nobody is excused by his circumstances from pursuing the noblest standards. **Tlie Greatest Tiling in the World" More suggestive than any com ment upon this poem concerning what Henry Drummond, in his charming little book, called "The Greatest Thing in the World," is the text itself, the very words of the Apostle, as we have them In the Revised Version: Now abideth faith, hope, love, these three, and the greatest of these is love.—l. Cor. 13:13. Some Soldier Surprises As Babylon was built of ordinary clay, so the chotciest characters are formed of the commonest materials. There Is nothing in this chapter upon love that is dependent upon some great flight of genius. It is not a mystery for monks, a riddle for scholars. All the elements of per fect love, which the inspired record makes synonymous with God him self, are for practice by the most everyday sort of folk. The woman in 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 unsuspected qualities in even the most common place persons. Most of the heroes of whom we have read have been very ordinary young men in civil life. War gave unsuspected poten tialities an opportunity. The world now knows that everybody is capa ble of higher possibilities than we had in peace time surmised. Capac ity for heroism, and capacity for sainthood, are dormant in the aver age men and woman. Only to-day a thoughtful sollder said to me that humanity must rec ognize that there are two classes of people in the world, those capable of self-government, and those not. His contention is that a certain small group of nations must forever rule the whole world, and that in stead of there being less imperial ism, there must be more. Amidst the troubled scenes where my lot is at present cast, I hear this view point frequently expressed or im plied. It runs squarely athwart the basic idea of the New Testament, which is that even the least have capacity for the best; that the very dweller amidst the 'sensuality and debauchery of Corinth could become a superlative Christian. A Dynamic for the New Day- Nothing could be more timely I ' than this lesso-n. Mankind is in a muddle. At this writing the Paris i Peace Conference is itself in a state discord. It has revealed, instead of abolishing, the old selfishness that reside in the breasts of nations as of individuals. AH around the hori zon is trouble, and portents of fur ther and worse disturbances darken the 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 the way of lovo, all men everywhere can come to brotherhood, and to the best of self-realization. One year of an honest effort on the part of everybody to fulfill the teachings of the Thirteenth Chapter of .First Corinthians would solve all the problems that have vexed the peace conference. There would be no dis cordant pride, jealousy, fear and ambition, if we were ail attempting to walk by the rolay rule of love. Perhaps in this bewildering time we may learn how workable are the words of Holy Writ. Christianity is one 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 lesson teaches—withall its contrasts to prevalent social theories —shall have a full exemplification in the world, suppose we try it individually, as the 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 a transformed and transforming land. There is nothing so workable as Jove.
