In 1866 the teaching of Bishop Col--
enso of, South Afriea, famous es a
mathematician, but, unhappily, hereti-
cal in his attitude towards the Old
Testament Scripture, inspired Bishop
Gray of Capetown to stand out with.
heroic boldness to sten the tide which
threatened to flow strongly in the dir-
ection of unbelief.
We remember thankfully hew the
ingenious, scientific arithmetic of Col-
ensoo proved to be faulty when tested
by the Royal Engineers, containing
menafterwards eminent zn the mili-
tary profession. Moses was proved
by practical demonstration to be per-
fectly correct in his distances, posi-
tions, and other data of the Exodus
campaign.
But it was Bishop Gray who un-
flinchingly fought Colenso's erroneous
teaching in South Africa, and showed
how opposed it was to the whole body
of Christian teaching, winning those
back to the Church who wert inclined
to follow such mistaken leadership.
His heroism and unflinching faith-
fulness greatly affected the Reverend
Samuel John Stone, IVI.A,, a . Stafford-
shire man, who was for a time cur-
ate at Windsor, then assistant to his
father, the Rector of St. Paul's, Hag-
gerston. At his father's death he suc-
c'eeded him in his rectorate in 1874.
In 1890 he was appointed Rector of
the London Church of All Hallows on
the Wall, where he died in 1900.
It was while his being was, thrilled
with admiration at Bishop Gray's de-
fence of the Catholic faith, that Mr.
tone composed his noble hymn,
`which speedily became one of the
most popular in the language. It first
appeared in 186E in a little volume
of sacred poems entitled "Lyra Fide
lium,"` headed "The Holy Catholic
Church, the Communion of Saints,"
intended evidently to set forward the
full catholicity of England's national
church.
In its first form it was in seven
verses, but was, afterwards revised for
congregational use in five verses for
"Hymns Ancient and Modern," which
has become the popular form of the
hymn. Afterwards it was expanded
to ten verses for processional use in
Salisbury Cathedral.

The touching,, and beautiful hymn,
a poetical gem, "Weary of earth and
Laden with my sin," "Round the sac-
red City gather," "Lord of the har-
vest," "Lord of our soul's salvation,"
and many others, we owe to Mr.
Stone, who is, however, best known
to millions of Christians as the auth—
or of "The Church's One Founda-
tion."
It was highly befitting that the Rev.
Charles Wesley, the most prolific wri-
ter of good hymns in the language,
should have a son who became a
great sacred musician. As a child of
three, this lad, Samuel, named' after
his grandfather, playedthe organ, and
at eight years actually composed an
oratorio, Ruth, which was at once
performed, and was a meritous piece
of work. He was born in 1766 and
developed into the most brilliant or-
ganist in England by the end of the
century. He died in 1887, his death
being brought on by his playing of a
wonderful extempore fugue after hear-
ing the celebrated Mendelssohn do
the same,
More noted than the father was his
son, Samuel Sebastian Wesley, who
was born in 1810. Possessed of a
fine treble voice he became one of
the "Children (or choristers) of the
Chapel. Royal" at nine years of age,
which ensured for him a sterling
musical reputation. At fifteen he was
officiating as an organist of Here-
ford Cathedral That year he wrote
the splendid ,anthem, "The Wilder-
ness," which is often heard in large
churches. His fame grew quickly as
organist, conductor and composer. He
became organist at Exeter, and was
in constant demand to open new or-
gans or to play or conduct at festi-
vals.,
That eminent divine, Dr. Hook, in
his determination to make Leeds a
Musical centre for Yorkshire, the
county always noted for its singing,
persuaded him to take charge of the
music in the huge Parish Church of
that thriving city, and it was amidst
congenial surrotinditigs there, that he
composed tnos.t of his massive and
immortal anthems, including the fam-
ous "Blessed be the Lord and Fath-
er," "Ascribe unto the Lord," and
others almost equally well known:
It was while organist at Winchester
Cathedral,whither he had moved be-
cause of educational advantages that
city offered his family, that he com-
posed the welt known tune Aurelia.
Among ordinary folk he will always,
be remembered for his hymns, such
as Harewood, set to "Christ is our
Corner Stone," Alleluia, to "Alleluia,
sing to Jesus," and others, brit more
especially for Aurelia, which was sung
"The Church's. One Foundation,' a-
round the world. The Crown eon-
(erred a civil list pension upon him
in 1873, and he received other honors
before death came to him at Glou-
cester in 1876. Ile was buried at Ex-
eter.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING,
Time.—Paul's stay of a year and
a half in Corinth, A. D. 51, 62.
Place.—After several weeks in Ath-
ens, Paul removed to, Corinth.
HOW PAUL PREACHED,
In his letter' to the Romans, writ-
ten about six years «r. later than this
time, Paul sets forth succinctly and
strongly 'the guiding principles of
his ministry. As to the place, he
sought out the cities where Christ
had not even been named, so that
he might build on his own foundation
and not another's. As to his chief
claim, he sought "the obedience of
the Gentiles," though always begin-
ning with the Jews. As to his means
andmethods,; his ministry was "by
word and deed, in the power of signs
and wonders. in the power of the Holy
Spirit." And as to the scope of his
ministry, he "fully preached the gos-
pel of Christ," omitting nothing that
was essential, of doctrine, or ordin-
ances, of organization, pf instruction,
of inspiration. There should be the
guiding principles of all Christian
workers even to this day.
PAUL IN ATHENS.
Paul waited at Athens for Timo-
thy and Silas to come to him. "But
for him to remain silent was im-
possible, especially in such a city as
Athens, -a city puffed up with con-
ceit of knowledge yet despising the
heavenly wisdom, worshipping a mul-
titude of dieties but ignorant of God.
He taught the image -worshipping
Athenians the folly of idolatry. There
is one God and only one. He made
heaven and earth and does not live
in man-made temples.
PAUL IN CORINTH
After these things he departed
from Athens, and came to Corinth.
This famous city was about fifty miles
west of Athens. It enjoyed a situa-
tion most favorable for trade, for it
was placed on the rocky Isthmus of
Corinth, 262 feet high and three and
two -third miles wide, which connected
northern Greece w ith the southern
peninsula, the Peloponnesus. Thus
Corinth was the point of transference
of ship's cargoes between the .zEgean
and Adriatic Seas, and through it
trade was conducted between the
north and the south. On February
21, 1858, the city was utterly des-
troyed by an earthquake, and since
that time a new Corinth with about
four thousand inhabitants has grown
tip in a more convenient position, a-
bout three miles to the, north east of
the ancient site.
And he found a certain Jew nam-
ed Aquila. Aquila was not his He-
brew name, but was probably as-
sumed by hint when he went to live
in Rome. • The Jews regard him as
the, same as a certain Onkelos who
wrote a commentary on the Penta-
teuch, and some think he is the Aquila
who translated the Old Testament in-
to Greek. A man of Pontus by race,
lately come from Dtaly. Pontus was
a district of northern Asia Minor,
south of the Black Sea. Men from
Pontus were present at Pentecost.
He seems to have returned to Rome
from Corinth. With his wife Pris-
cilla. "Of the two Priscilla was the
predominant personality; in four plac-
es out of six where the couple are
mentioned her name comes first, She
probably took the leading part in ev-
angelistic work, and therefore is to
be classed with Lydia and other not-
able women who `labored for the gos-
pel.'
Because Claudius had commanded
all the 'Jews to depart from Rome.
"The Jews, constantly making dis-
turbance, Chrestus being the insti-
gator, he expelled them from
Rome." It seems quite clear that
Aquila and Priscilla were already
Christians when Paul took up his.
abode with them. And he came
unto them. , He was doubly glad to
live with them; becacse they were
fellow -Christians, and because they
came from Rome, thus establishing
a link with the great city, the centre
of the world, to which Paul's thou-
gilts were doubtless already turning
in eagernessto preach the gospel
there,
Arid because he was of the same.
trade, he abode with them, and they
wrought; for by their trade they
were tentmakers. We have already
discussed the wise Jewish practice of
teaching their boys some trade, no
matter how wealthy the fancily night
be, and even when the lad was edu-
cated as a rabbi, as Paul was, Paul
probably followed his father's trade,
as was custotnary, and tentreaking
cia, where the goats abounded from
whose hair &rough cloth called Cilic-
ian cloth was made, and out of this
cloth tents were constructed:
Aid he reasoned in the synagogue
every Sabbath. Following his in-
variable
;t -variable oustoin in :a new 'town, Pahl
began his work where he was most
likely to find converts. And per-
suaded Jews and Greeks. "Was per-
suading," the Greek imperfect tense
implying continued and customary ac-
tion. The ' "Greeks" were prose-
lytes to Judaism, or they would not
have been found in the synagogue,
But when Silas and Timothy came
down from Macedonia. These two
helpers had been left at Beroea, batt
Paul sent for them to help in the
larger city of Corinth. Paul was
constrained by the word. Every
Christian should be thus constrained,
urged forward, until all the world is
won for the Redeemer.
Testifying to the Jews that Jesus
was the Christ. His testimony was
based on the ancient prophecies ful-
filled by Christ, by his owr conver-.
sion through a vision of Christ, and
by the facts of Christ's death and re-
surrection.
And when they opposed themsel-
ves and blaphemed. "Opposed" is
a military term, they set themselves
in . array against Paul. They blas-
phemed by calling the divine Christ
all sorts of horrible names. He shook
outhis raiment. A gesture of lis-
misal; he was done with them, as
he was done with the dust which he
shook from his robe. They had had
their opportunity, and had spurned it.
And said unto them, Your blood be
upon your own heads; I am clean.
They had chosen the way of ruin and
death; Paul had done his best to pre-
vent it. I will go unto the Gentiles.
This does not mean that Paul would
no longer, as before, make his first
approach to the Jews. It only means
that for the rest of his stay in Corinth
he would work among the Gentiles.
And he departed thence. That is,
from the synagogue. And went into
the house of a certain man named
Titus Justus, one that worshipped.
God. Titus was his tame, according
to the oldest manuscripts. He was
a Roman convert to Judaism, and so
his house would make a useful meet-
ing place for both Jewish and Gen-
tile Christians. Justus was probably
a name which he took on when he
became a Jewish proselyte. Whose
house joined hard to the synagogue.
Thus it was doubly suitable as a
meeting place, and was very conven-
ient for those of the Jews who might
even yet be persuaded to become
Christians.
And Crispus, the ruler of the sy-
agogue, believed in the Lord with
all his house. Paul made it a prac-
tice to delegate the work of bap-
tizing to others, lest a Pauline party
might arise. And many of the Cor-
inthians hearing believed, and were
baptized.
And the Lord said unto Paul in
the night by a vision. • Paul, we have
seen, was a man of visions. He had
beheld the Lord on the road to Da-
mascus; he had seen a vision of An-
anias coming to him and restoring
his sight; he had seen a vision of
the Macedonian summoning him to
Europe; now again he sees the Lord
Jesus Christ. May we not believe
that Paul's sleep was often blest
with these visions of his Redeemer?
Be not afraid. Here is a window
into the heart life of the apostle. He
was not duly insensible to fear while
doing his splendidly courageous work,
facing the machinations of th Jews
and the rage of the idolaters, Paul
needed this strengthening, and there-
fore the Lord gave it. But speak
and hold not they peace. In spite of
his fear, Paul was to speak more
boldly and continually than before.
The way to conquer fears is to act.
as if they did not exist.
For I am with thee, and no man
shall set on thee to harm thee. "I,
the All -Powerful, the All -Wise, the
All -Loving, am by thy side." Paul
thenceforth knew, like Elisha of old,
that he was surrounded by a heav-
enly guard. For I have much peo-
ple in this city. This was all the
eitcoutagement Paul needed, the
knowledge that his labors were to
be successful. rt is all the cheer
required by any true worker.
And he dwelt there a year and six
months. An unusual work in the
Greek is translated rather inadequate-
ly "'.dwelt," for it means to sit down
at ease. "The word may be purpose-
ly used here to indicate the quiet
and settled workto which the apost-
le was directed by the vision which
had calmed his troubled spirit. Tea-
ching the work of God among them.
This period of quiet teaching, evan-
