Paul at Athens=Act, 17;, 16-34; Acts
17; 22-34.
Commentary. -1, 1'iiul stirred because
of the idolatry of Athens (vs. 16-21).
Paul is in the famous city of Athens,
the capital' of the intelleetual world, as,
home was of the •political, 'and Jerusa-
lem of the religious,. While the apostle
waited for the ebming of • Silas and Tim-
othy, he employed his time speaking in
the synagogues to. tire. Jews, and in the
market places to 'those whom he met.
The leader .in philosophy and religion
became interested and sled conversations
witheltim• about his reigion. The Lpi-
eannans entirey denied a providence, and
lied.. that the wad -was the effect of
m 'e chance, asserting that the soul and
''be717: died together. The Stoics held
•iahat matter was -eternal; that all things
were governed'by fate; that virtue was
its_ ownrewal-d, and vice its own punish -
tient. After discussing with these phil-
•osophers for a 'Lillie, they requested Patti
toleave the curious and thronging
• Crowds .of the market, and address then
from the platform on the summit of the
hill, called Areopagus, or Mars' bill,
where were assembled the noblest of
Athens, the first politicians, the first
orators, the first philosophers,
IT. Paul's address on Mars' Hill (vs.
22-31). Note three principal divisions to
the sermon: 1. The relation of God. to
the world. (1) As Creator. (2) As Lord
of heaven and earth. (3) As fulling im-
mensity with his presence, (4) As self-
sufficient. (5) As the souros of life and
blessing. 2. The dignity and destiny
of man. 3. The doctrine of Christ and
his salvation. The third division of the
discourse was not finished. 22. Paul
stood -Paul spoke in the open air. Mars'
hill -"The Areopagus." R. V. This hill
was to the west of the Acropolis, and
was the meeting place of the Athenian
Council. To this hill of Mars the phil-
osophers led. St. Paul, that he might
more conveniently address a larger audi-
ence. Cam. Bib. Ye men of Athens-.
He was addressing men of high intollec-
tual powers. Their city was the most
renowned in the world for literature, art
and philosophy. It had a world-wide
reputation for military talent, learning,
-eloquence and culture, but was wholly
given to idolatry. Altars, shrines, sta-
tues and images of every shape and size
crowded the streets, temples, squares
and groves. The speech as here given
must be only a biief outline of Paul's
address. He no doubt spoke at some
length, but what we have would not
require three minutes in its delivery. 1
perceive -Paul had observed the inn -
portant features of the city. Too super-
stitious --The expression used by the
apostle was complimentary. Ye are
"very religious."
23. Your devotions -.See R. V. The
pestle had beheld their altars and
orks of art Consecrated to religion. To
unknown god(it V.) -That no diety
night punish them for neglecting his
orship, or remain uninvoked in asking
or blessings, they not only erected
]tars to all the gods named or known
mong them, but, distrustful still lest
ey might not comprehend fully- the
tent of their subjection and depend-
ee, they erected them also to any
her god or power that might exist,
though as yet unrevealed to them.-
ekett, "The human heart yearns for
e living God, with whom it may com-
e. God is an unknown God to those
o live for the world and its
ts; who refuse to find him in Christ."
iorant!y worship -See R. V, The
stle does not intend to say that their
rship was of an ignorant character,
that they offered it in ignorance.•

ign god that had not been publicly

avail himself of the inscription on

unded to the Athenians the attri-
of the God whom they had ignor.

In the word "overlooked" lie treasures
of mercy for those who lived in the
times of ignorance. -Alford.
31. He will judge -Their character and
deeds were to be axamined, and the re-
ward or punishment due Vas to be

was apt, since he was standing in the
place where judicial sentences were wont
to be announced. --Bengal. In righteous-
ness -Every decision will be absolutely
right and correct: Thera will be no bri-
bery no covering up. "The righteousness
of the judgment is what makes it ter-•

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS,
The True God.
I. The Creator. "God that made the
world" (v. 24), Paul man with God
(Gen. 1, 1). The fact of creation is a
vital principle of true religion. The apos-
tle could not .preach Jesus, the Son and
Redeemer, ureti4 ha had shown them God,
the Orea.tor and Father. The Old Testa.
ment doctrine of creation is the founda-
tion of the New Testament doctrine of
redemption. Spence and religion a; s
friends. God's messages in the -word
and in the world always agree. Our
reasoning from facts agrees with God's
own message, "God created the heaven
and. the earth." The inference and the
inforena,tion are one. "What ice that
father?" asked +a. boy. `.q, footprint,
my ecu; a sign 'that some one came into
our garden last night." "It must be, for
there could not be a footprint only as
somebody had been here to awake it."
"That is true, Benjamin; now, show me
some of the footprints of the Creator.".
"1 don't understand;"`father." "Who
made the beautiful flowers; the splendid
trees; the clouds in the sky; the great,
round earth; and the mighty sun in the
heavens?" '(od, to be sure!" "]then
ail these things are but footprints o•f the
Creator; the sign that there is a (hew=
tor, and He has been here. See, this ice -
plant man could. never have made; see
the glisterning glass; hear the chirping
birds; num did not snake them. God
made them; and they ea -e all footprints
of the gerat Creator, to prove to ns that
there is a good and great God, whom
we should .love and worship,"
IT. The Sovereign. "God made all" (v.
24). He is Lord of heaven and earth
and cannot 'be confined "in temples made
with ;hands" of man. God gi,veth "all"
(r. 25). He cannot be "served with.
men's�laa.nds, as though He needed any-
thing." God • oeseianandah "all" (v. 30).
"hath appointed a day, in the which
Tfe will judge the world." God hath
given assuraztee tante "ail" (v. 31). The
resurieotion oS Christ is the guarantee of
mercy to the righteous and judgment to
the wicked. "Of Him, and through Him,
end to him are allselling„s."
III. The Benefactor. • "Ile that giveth
to all life, and breitth" (r. 25). God is
not only great, He is good. He is a
bountiful benefactor. God made "all
things" (v. 24; John 1, 3; Heb. 3. 4).
God giveth "all thinfgs" (v. 2.5; I. Tun.
6, 7; T Pet. 1, 4). The first "all thieve"
spealni of Ms bounty (Gen. 9, 3) the
Inst. of His ability (Rev. 21, 5) • and
between these are about two hundred,
which tell us of ,pardon (Acts 13, 39) ;
power (Phil. 4, 13; IT. Oar. O. in;' T. John
2, 20-27); prosperity (1XI. John 2; II.
Cor. 6, 10); plenty (Stone 8, 32) ; profit
(T. Tim. 4, 8) ; and many blessed possi.
bilitles (Mark 9, 23). "Livery good gift
and every perfect gift is foam above,
and corns% down from the Patiller of
lights" (Jana. 1, 17).
I"V. The: Omnipresent . God is "not for
from every one of ue" (v. 27). God is
near to observe our ways, qtr our
prayere, defend our cause, deliver our
lives; sewer our graces, manifest; His
glory. God is near all 11'ats, children by
crewmen; Ile is special near to His
own by regeneration. e eee, 1. His

2. 1lis word on our lips (lf)xod. 4, 12). 3.
