(es. 1-1)). Paul declares at the outeet
lit unmietaltable terms that he is an
apootle of Jesus Meet by divine A1-
1101ntment. Soethenes is associatea
wall hire in the writing of this epis-
tle. Thia is, possible the Sosthenes
meuticated in Acts IS: 17, having be-
come a Christian, as did Crispus, his
eucceeeor as chief ruler of the syn.
gegue. Paul addressee his Message to
the church at Corinth and speaks of
them as•being sanctified in Christ
Jesus and called saints, but he weal
have it understood that Ms mearige
was intended or ell Christiane severe -
where. His desire is that erne awl
peace -trona God the ratber and Man
the Son my be upon them. The
apostle takes occasion to exprese his
Menlo to God for the eliirithal gias
and graces they enjoy. He lovingly
conunends them for their faith and
patience, and is confident that the
Lord Jesus will keep them to the end
apd present them blameless before
God. He declares that he who called
theta into fellowship with the on
Jesus Christ is faithful. This address
and salutation express Paul's un-
shaken faith in God and the rietiVat1011
which he preached. He was about to
reprove the Christians at Corinth !or
their shortcomings, but he does not
enter upon •that reproof until he has
commended them for their virtnee reed
graces.
Il. Divisions rebuked (vs, 10-17).
Paul is intensely interested in the
stability and growth of the church. In
Corinth and exhorts them to be united
in heart in the work of the Lord. lie
had learned from reliable sources that
there had come to exist factions in tbe
cbureh, and he knew that divisions in
a body of Christians was productive
of weaaness.They teem to have di-
vided up and followed certain leaders.
Some called themselves atter the name
of Paul, others atter Apollos, and
still others claimed to be followers of
Peter, or Cephas. One faction de-
clared that they or fellowers of
Christ, without claiming special elle-
gianee to any earthly leader. Paul
Plainly and impressively shows how
uni,ecoming it is for Christians io
time divided. Their salvation came
wholly and only through Jesue Chriet,
and the apostles were simplythe
human instrumentality by whom they
had been instructed and encouraged.
III. The excellence of the cross (vs.
18-31.) 18. The preaching ot the cross.
The preaching that presents the suf-
fering and death of Christ for the
sins of the world. To them that per-
ish foolishness -The doctrine of the
• cross is folly to those who are perish-
ing, because they conceive of some in-
herent excellence in humanity, where-
as the cross proclaims and justifiee
God's sentence of death against the
human race. -Lias. "Unto us which are
saved it is the power of God --Those
who take Advantage of the atonement
of JesuseChrist fully realize that there,
Is power divine in the cross. 19. It is
written -The quotation is of esa.. 24:
14. Destroy the wisdom of the wise -
Human wisdom is of small account in
spiritual matters. When God speaks,
let worldly maxims perish, 20. Where
is the wise -The apostle really de-
clares that there is no worldly wis-
dom that it is at all comparable with
the word of God. "The wise" men-
tioned here stands for the philosontier.
The scribe -late Jewish scribe, or
teacher of the law. The disputer -The
Greek disputer,--Altord. Made foolisk
the wisdom of this world -True wis-
dom belongs to God alone and eman-
ates from him. 21. The world by wis-
dom knew not God -Natural religion
falls far short of arriving at .the state
which God% word requires.'" Goa has
revealed himself but partially
through nature, while by word- and
by his Son he has made himself
known so fully that man comes to
know what is required of him and
what his privileges are.
22. Jews requive a sign -There neve
er was a people in the universe more
difficult to be persuaded of the truth
than the Jews; and had not their re-
ligion been inaontestably proved by
the moat striking and indubitable
miracles, they never would have re-
ceived it. -Clarke. Greeks seek af-
ter wisdom -The Groeks pursued
philosophy and tried to arrive at just
conclusions through the process of
reasoning. 23. But we preach Christ
crucified -Passing over the "sign"
sought by the Jews, and the "wis-
dom" which the Greeks boasted, the
apostles declared that Christ died for
sinners. Unto the Jewe a stumbliug-
block-Because they had misinterp-
reted the scriptures and could not
• think of the Messiah as being put to
death. -Unto- the Greeks foolishness
-The crucifixion of Christ as the
ground of individual telvation wee so
different from their philosophy, that
it appealed to them as foolishhess. 24.
Are called -Those who have heard
the gospel invitation and have ac-
cepted it by faith in Jesus. The power

example of the way to prepare an
ectender for well-deserved rebuke.
Least of all Paul asserted the, dieing
authority of his office. The strength
aild nobleness of his eharacter rested
On the confidence that he was called
°riled to be and to do the work of
an apostle. Ile stood before the Cor.
Madan church as the appointed rep.,

acknowledged spiritual attainments
aud endowments. Love 'kept in check

pleasure. With heavenly wisdom the
aPostle filled the minds of the Cor-
lathiana with thoughts of Christ stad
et their Mel' calliag in him, as sep-
erated from their former solves to
do las will. He recognized in their
?efts of utterance promise of a rapid
and effective PeoPegation of the gos-
fel. As Inhabitants of one of the
most debased cities of the ancient
world, the Corinthian church had been
saved by the gospel cif God's grace.
They had been called out of a eociety
where the Greeks sought for wisdom
end the Jews for signs, but they had
found salvation.
II. Destroyed by 'human philosophy.
'rhe converted Greeks carried their
old mental habits into church life. For
ateqe they had identified each shade
ef'..'opinion in philosophy with the
name of an individual teacher. It was
natural for them to look at Christian-
ity as an addition to the world's
thought which admitted of being
treated as other systems. The dive
sains in the church ut Corinth were de-
precated by Paul as an offense against
the fundamental principles and laws
of Christian fellowship. Such divi-
sions exalted the sebordinate at the
ea:pense of the vital and supreme.
They involved the very heart and soul
of the community. They arrested theiz
unity -which was designed to grow into
eprfectime Paul set before them the
positive duty of unity as opposed to
all partisanship. Through a carnal
clieposition to exalt his servants they
were losing sight of Christ. They
were opposing one another which wee
sadly inconsistent with fellowshio
with Jesus C.hrist.
Encouraged by 'apostolic exam.
'IN: Patti had a personal experience
of the excellence and power of the
doctrine of the cross. The knowledge
whIch he prized he communicated to
others. . The blessings which he en-
joyed he sought for others. He had
the comfort of a good conscience as he
called to mind the purpose and meth-
od of his ministry. Well might he pass
by the wisdom of men since he was
erterusted with the wisdom. of God.
Peel magnified his office and hum-
bled himself. He relied wholly on the
grandeur of his theme Mel the spir-
itual power with which- its announce-
ment was accompanied. He exalted
the cross of Christ as the central ele-
ment of the gospel. The spirit and
manner of fulfilling his office were
thoroughly unworldly, so much so as
to appear to the Greek as foolishness
andprove to the Jew a stumbling -
block. At Corinth Paul thlt the neces-
sity of adhering to the simplielty of
the gospel, disclaiming the Wisdom of
words, upon which others laid stress.
The central point of his preaching
was that he deligated, to sum up in
the expresedon, "The cross of Christ."
He gloried in it as the distinguishing:
feature of the good news he proclaim-
ed -a This evangelical doctrine filled
the foremost place in Paul's thought
andsupplied the chief inspiration of
his heroic life. He knew that it would
meet the deep, universal needs ett hu-
manity. He was -convinced that the
gospel could do for mankind *what no
other power could effect, bringing par-
don, the principle end power of a new
life and hope for the future, blessings
whte,h God only could bestow. The
miracle of grace by which the soul is
translated from death to sin to the
life of holiness, wee exalted by Paid
ses the mightiest cf all wonders.
With Paul the cross and salvation
were indissolubly joined. -T. It A.

HOW FLOODS AID ENEMY,
The floods along the Dniester are of
benefit to the Austro -Germans, as they
liberate troops with which to rein-
force, at least temporarily, the Kovel.
Vladimir-Volynski and Bukowina-
Transylvania roads, where, conse-
quently, military experts expect there
will be more heavy fighting, says a
Reuter despatch from Petrograd.
The -Summer floods in the Dniester
rise quickly to a height ot six or sev.
ea feet, covering wide expanses ef ad-
Jaeent country, and making military
operations impracticable for about a
month. The recent cessation of the
fighting in the Dniester region on the
roads from •Buczacz end Kolomea,
therefore, was to be expected.
A former town councillor of VIDAL-
mir-Volynski, who escaped, says the
town is depopulated except for wo-
men, children and aged persons, All
able-bodied persons, he reports, were
compelled to work on the defences or
were deported to A,ustria. The popula-
tion is starving, and the theapest
black bread is sold at rem ruble a
pound, and there is no meat. There is
much typhoid, and other disease e are
epidemic.
On the fronts before Kovel and
Lemberg, the Russians are hammering
the Austro -German lines without ces-
sation. Almost the entire civil popu-
lation of Lemberg ass fled the citY,
and, according to another report, the
Austrian b.eadquarters staff has de-
eided to leave.
SMASHING DVINA t'sn /NT.
The forces of General Kuropatkin,
on the Dvina, in the northern section
of the lire in Russia, have smashed
the German front with artileery fire
lasting three days, according to des-
patches received from Petrograd. The
Germans suffered what are described
as "colossal losses."
Gen. Kuropatkin has been, attacking
German defensive works with artil-
lery fire for several days, and has
succeeded in destroying the enemy's
position to such an extent that the
Russians are now ready for infantry
attacks.
Field Marshal von Hindenburg is
directing in person the German de-
fence.

Oftice statement reads:
"On many sectors of the Dvina
front there were violent artillery
fights.
"In. the region of the Styr, above
its confluence with the Lipa, we dealt
another stroke at the enemy, ejecting
him from the village of Verbene and
from fortified works south of that
village, and, keeping on the heels of
his bewildered rear, seized the cross-
ings of the Styr. The enemy retired
towards the heights near the town of
Derestechk, and is beginning partial-
ly to surrender to a battalion already
engaged in the region of Berestechk.
Prisoners taken already number over
1,600, including many officers..

HABIT.
Fifty years ago we travelled exten-

the hospitality of not a few, We tar-
ried in the horue of a devout man,
who took care to say grace at every
meal, One sentence was always in
evidenee. "Take 'away all our sins."
To the family this came as a matter
Of course, .but to a stranger it sug-
gested that this good and devout man
took care to accumulate fresh sins, in
order that he might have them taken
away at the next meal.
Nothing of the kind! This was a
pure -living man, of high repute. Ile
simply copied 'words from his father,
and doubtless continued to the end of
his days.
Habits are ties and chains. We con-
tract them imperceptibly; we cannot
break them without pain. It is cer-
tain that we act because we have
acted, we continue because we have
begun, we attach ourselves to our
work because it is our own. We must
love truth supremely, and ia order to
judge of it correctly we must separ-
ate it from habit. Nay, a. truth may
become an error, when, being cense
crated by habit, it opposeth other
truths; or when, being only relative,
It claims to be absolute. Absolute
truth itself should never become a
Pure habit; it would grow old and die

and every hour born there anew,
Nothing can last in this world except
on the condition of its renewing it -
pelf,
Christianity is radical in the higta
est degree. It uproots one lite and
plants another; it breaks the shell ot
habit and says: "Be ye enlarged." It
does not add virtue to virtue till the
frame be full; but it, throws into
man's heart a new principle ot iife
and action the love of God; a nature
at once mysterious and profoundly in
agreement with our moral wants.
Here Is the only lever which enters
deeply enough into the soul, to shake,
move, and, displace old life and hab-
its, and bring in a larger life.
What is given is Lite! And this
life is renewed "day by day." This
life is moving, If is not stationary; it
is not like a tree. This life Is ever
coming, and becoming. it bursts
the bark, it breaks the shell, it is
here not to reach certain limits, but
to surpass all limits.
The world is old enough to have
some old religions, and what are
they, and where? They are tottering
structures, dying and dead, and wait.
Ing to be buried; nay, some are out
of sight.
"Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth."

London, July 23,--A new advance of
Turkish forces on the Sinai Peninsula
to within about thirty miles of the
Suez Canal has been reported
to the British authorities, who
annoenced to -day that British
cavalry had got in touch with the
Turks, and that nietteuree Were being
taken by the chief command iu Egypt

"It is reported that Turkish forces
have advanced westward from El Ar-
ish to some five miles east of Katie

alties."
London, July 22. -The retiring Prese
aent of the National Conferento of
British Methodists, the Rev. Richard
Waddy Moss, dismising the reasons for
the "decline of Methodism," as shown
by a loss in the total membership of
the church during the year, said Yes-
terday:
"The churches position is not due
to the absehce Of the spirit of God,
but merely to the feat that the people's
minds are preoccupied. There IS a
great difference in the spiritual at-
mosphere of to -day as compared with
the period following the Franco-Prus-
sian war. Then the minds -of the
people were filled with doubt; but
now, 'while there is a certain element
Of surprise, becatise we do not under-
