Paul came alone to Athens from Berea, Silas and Tim- othy having remained at the latter Place for awhile They joined him later, but he sent them back to Tiles- ealonica, to learn how the Christian community there was prospering. While in Athens he saw evidences that idolatry was prevalent. Temples, sta- tues and altars of the multiplicity of gods were everywhere and "his spirit was stirred in him." There was a Jewish synagogue in the city and he went there first, to reason with the Jews about Jesus and the resurrection. The acconnt -indicates that he next spoke with "devout" persons, prose- lytes to the Jewinh faith, and later With others, as he met them in the marketplace He met the O class of philosophers who eonadered happinene the highest good, and five Stoics, who believed that one shoved be unmoved by pain or pleasure. They desired to know what this new re - Helene teacher would say. They called him a "babbler," The word rendered "babbler" is found nowhere else in the New Testament. It is used for birds picking up scattered seeds, and was aPPlied in content% te mon who pick- ed up a living in any way they -could. Paul was looked upon as a teacher ot strange doctrines, becatise he preach- ed to them Jestis and the restirreetion. However, they' brought him to Mars Hill, which watt used an a high taint or idaee of council, that the peotile of Athena might hear his discourse, for they were eager to hear new things. 11, Diecourse on Mars TIIII (vs. 22-31), 22, Mare, was one of 0, group of three hills of Athens, the others being the Acropolis ill motet prominent feature of the city, whose top was crowned with magnifi- rent papal temides, and tate Pynic, where DeMotithenea delivered lila era - thine.

II. The need of Athenian idolaters. 1. The import of Paul's preaching. There is unusual interest connected with the first presentation of the gos- pel of Christ ia the metropolis of art and philosophy. The errand of the gospel was one of hope, a proclama- tion of spiritual power at band. The .conduct of Paul was as modest as it was wise, and as dauntless as it was modest. If ever the sincerity of tha preacher was tried, it was upon this eccasion. The opportenity that Athens presented to Paul was one of the most critical of his career. He saw how God was dishonored and robbed of the homage due him. He had fervent zeal for the honor of Christ. He felt the outrage done by idolatry to the dig- nity of human nature. He knew that the destiny of the soul depended:upon its .worship. It was a time when the gospel met two sides of human life together, and °entreated its oneness with their dividedness and showed its mission of reconciliation, Paul's life was given to one work -and his whole heart was in it. With wisdom and skill he• erowded every sentenee with deep truth, so that every utter- ance was a blow to the false philos- ophy of his hearers. He was there to contend with the masters of the world in the very• sanctuary of idolatry. Around himewere gathered a multitude acute and inquisitive. Nobly did the champion of truth perform his part. His introduction was appropriate and judicious. He made no direct attack on their religion. He did not awaken their prejudice. He commended their zeal ia religion. He referred, without unkind reflections, to tha evidence of that zeal exhibited on every hand. He referred to their acknowledged diffi- culties and to the avowal of their own ignorance or uncertainty as recorded on their altar. He proposed to reveal the God who was unknown to them, • to the real source of blessing. He did not exeite their fears. He did not ex- pose himself to .contempt. With won- derful simplicity and force he quoted from Greek literature truths ooncern- Mg natural religion, and then, rising to the higher truths of revelation, Ile preached Jeeus and the retsurrection. He appealpd to reason, conscience, exe perience and the universal spirit of hurdanity, II. The need of Athenian idolaters, Over all the glory of Athensehung the Pall of spiritual death, The Athenians covered their irreligious lives by their religious forms. They were wrong in their cherished conceptions of God and wrong in the worship they offer- ed to Him. The strangely inseribed al- tar revealed their uhrest. Pant de- signed to reveal Gral to theta and to aWakeri in them a 'senseof his univer- sal claims to love and trust. They greatly needed to learn the fatherly relation of Ood to all mu and the re- sponsive relation of children to God: They lowered the very idea of God by likening him to Mere Man-rteade im- ages of gold and silver. With all their display the Athenians had no moral purposte in life. The deeper arid divin- er parts Of their nateree 'were unde- veloped, Paul' t standard Was unknoWn to Athenian sages. He Book° as one whoknew that he had the truth of Ged, and that it Was sufficient to leed darkened souls into spiritual light. Throughout kis Masterly discourse he endeavored to carry his heaters 'with hint, so that they might be without excuse if they continued igirarattt Of God, He did bet eohtent himself with laying down great principleth Ire event oil to apply thene ta the religious life of the people. With tits reasonings cone eerning God, Paul Impressed the dutY of man to (leek an aequaintance with God. He gave the Atheniane a new etitnultis Of thought.

Unless the Russians can be checked immediadely at the vital points wbere their first thrusts have succeeded, it is believed that their whole lines in the northern sector will be greatly endangered. , • DRIVE ON KOVEL.

In the Galusia Optovo- Voltcetzle region we have taken' Doe - session of fortified .Auetrian and Ger- !Mall positions. The enemy took flight under the fire of our artillery. Our cavalry, pursuing, charged into them in the region ot Voltcetzle, and captured a Krupp battery of six can- non, which hardly had time to fire a few shots. At the end of the violent battle we occupied the villages of Komarow. and Grady. "According to the latest reports, our cavalry carried the railway sta- tion of Manevitchl, and in the abuse .of the pursuit captured another bat- tery oe four cannon and three pieces of heavy, artillery. "South of the Stoichod and in the region of the Lower Lipt there have been artillery duels. "In Galicia, near Gliaditi, the enemy, after having exploded a number- of mines, attempted to begin an offea- sive, but was repulsed, "According to the latest informa- tion, the prisoners taken' on July 4 and 5 west of the Lowed Stripa were 270 officers and 9,900 men. The fol- lowing booty has been registered up tes the present: 29 machine guns, 0 bomb-thrbwers, 3 mine -throwers and more than 5,000 rifles. Northwest of Kimpoiting (Southera Eukowina) the enemy undertook an diergetic offensive, which we repelled. "On the Dvina front, in the region of Dvinsk, and down to the region of Poland, violent artillery engage- ments occurred at several points. Southwest of Lake Naroez, as the outcome of a fierce bayonet attaek, wo . captured from the Germane part of their first-line trenches. Violent counter-attacks by the Germans are centinuing.

We have pushed In the German salient between Albert and the Somme to an extreme depth at the point of our greateet advance of about three miles. We hold the 'villages of iliontaubail, lericourt and Mametz, and are • well across the fringe of Contalmaison. At various intervening points of tactical im- portance our line is firmly eetablislied. "We have taken upward of 6,500 prisonels, 21 guns, 51 machine guns, O large number of automatic rifle-, trench mortars, minenwerfers, search, lights and other military booty. ' -rho enemy is known to have suf- fered terrible lams. For exemple, the third division of the Prueelan Guard, brQUght UP as reinforcements, has been so depleted that the remnants of the corps have been withdrawn as no tenger war -worthy for the time, Pri- soners say that OA morale of these guards is badly shaken, this applying equally. to the officers, "The heavy rains of the last two days have much depleted the opera- tions! Neverthelese, our troops have been fighting incessantly, and in many spots have made substantial gains. The spirit of -the men is won earfuls They fully realize they are now playing the part of the top dog. "As proof of their dash it may be mentioned that ttt their advance there are practically no stragglers, so eager aro all to get to the goal. This, under the heavy conditions of trench war- fare, with no man's land often like a quagmire, is truly wonderful. There is every reason to be satiefiee with the progress and prospects." •••• I • FROM BRITAIN TO OUR TROOPS Women and Children Pre- sent Flag and Shield.
