"We have been treated well here" said
one of the captains. "We enjoyed those
baths better than anything we have met
with on the way."
Many such expressions were heard from
the boys who had enjoyed the baths pro
vided by the Young Men's Business
League for troops passing through the
city and it was a contented refreshed
looking lot of khaki-garbed men who
crowded Into the trains afterward.
Much attention was attracted to the
troops as one company followed another
at intervals on the march from the baths
to the Grand Central station.

Opportunely the Sunday schools of the ;
world are this week called Into the school
of study of old I'aul of Tarsus to learn
to stand up and contend for the truth.
As this lesson and many otjier New
Testament passages make clear contro-
versy may be a Christian duty. The early
church fathers were great controversal-

great debate. Thus does the everyday
duty well done prepare us for life's groat
crises.
THE CAUSE
OF CONTROVERSY.
Like every other pioneer Paul knew
the bitterness of seeing others follow
along the path he had blaied In order to
wrest Ills leadership from him. In ad-
of tho church. It Is not new plague from
which the church suffers today. Claim-
ing i.fgh titles and especial gifts for
themselves these false apostles had at-
tempted apparently lo wean the Corin-
thian Christians away
from Paul and
ti cast aspersions upon his authority his
ability and his financial integrity in the
inatrer of the collection for the Jerusa-
lem poor. Kvldently also these usurp-
ers had condoned unchristian practices
on the part of church members so Wiat
they were departing from the strict line
of morality laid down by Paul. Kipling's
fable of the Bioth that corrupted a hivs
of young bees is uuite applicable.

better to wipe out a plague than to flee
from it. Paul was not the sort of citizen
who would flee to a pleasant suburb and
let the city go to the devil. Instead he
would stay an! help clean up the city.
In this spirit he undertook to enlighten
the misled Corinthian Christians and to
contend with their usurping leaders.
ONE HERO'S
RECORD.
While he offers It with diffidence and
apologies having all of a strong man's
dislike for boasting Paul nevertheless
submits his own character and achieve-
ments as "exhibit A" In ths great con-
troversy. Really the whole case restid
on the character of the apostle.
That Is why it Is such an awesome
thing to be a preacher or a Christian
leader. What If Dwlght U Moody luul

John R. Molt putting his own comfort asd
reputation and bank account above ths
Cliristianizalion of the world! The con-
sequences would be calamitous for all
Christendom.
Whoever dares to accept a place of
leadership in Christian service thereby
assumes a resDonstbllitv of living us to
the ideals of Jesus that is nothing less
man tremendous. A noble Atlanta laiy-'
n:an said to me not long since in discuss
ing the retirement of two laymen from
places of Christian leadership Into private
employ. "1 tell you this sort of thing Is .
having a terrible effect upon our laymen.
we nave followed these men lor years.
and now they seem to nullify everything
they have ever taught by turning aside
from the big work and looking out lor
themselves." As in crusading days Oio "
knight who takes the cross on his arm
must surrender private aims and quests. '
For the Christian Is himself a vindication
of his message and ministry. :s
in tins great corintnian controversy
Paul could submit his life as evidence.
His case freely paraphrased to show tb
magnitude of his heroic sufferings and ac
tivities. ran like this:
"I have been as bold as the best. . '
"I am anybody's equal as a Hebrew and '
Israelite. ' "
"I have been myself a minister of
Christ.
By labors more abundant. 1
By stripes without number. .
By frequent Imprisonment.
By danger of death many times. 1 T
"To particularize here is a part 'Of
m v record :
Five times the Jews beat me with ti
stripes. - j.
Three times I have been beaten with -
Roman rods. ;
Once I was stoned. h '
Thrice I was shipwrecked being afloat
24 hours In Jhe open sea. ....
"In my travels I have undergone: .
Perils of waters.
Perils of robbers. . ' ."!..
Perils from my countrymen.
Perils from the heathen.
Perils In the city.
Perils in the desert.
Perils In the sea. v
Perils among false brethren. v ..

In travail often r
In watchlngs often j ;

In poor clothing often. f '
"Besides all the foregoint; adversities v.
there Is that which coin. Ui upon me
daily anxiety for all the church." . i
Really that closed the case A mere; ;
recital of the incontrovertible facts ;
showed that Paul was everything for "
Christ and the brethren snil nothing for
himself. He hml ti iv. ll.1 the flinty roadf
to Calvarv. He hail been crucified with
Christ. the brand-marks of the Lord
Jesus were on hi i'ct. wnicn haa :.
travelled for him: on his hands which :
had ministered f'ir him: on his brow '
which hml thought for him. and on his "
heart which li.ul boon broken over ths
needs of the world. The man was full 4
proof of the message. The final argu-
ment for ChrisllHnitj In every case Is tha ;
Christ-like Christian.
