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

perfect piece of literature! 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.
