Caledonia, Nov. 22.—“In
these days of unrest, it is nat-
ural and essential that we
think of security in individuals
social, national and interna-
tional hearings. I wonder,
however, if we are searching
out these ultimate foundations!
of security? O' course; these
are to be found in the living
God, the living God, in Christ,
and finally, nowhere else. . . .
If God should release His hold
upon the wholeness of crea-
tion for the milJioneth of a sec-
ond, the cosmos would be-
come chaos during that split
second."—F. P. Shannon,
Central Congressional Church,
Chicago, 111.

We were very happy Sun-
day at Caledonia to have with
uk and to preach at the 11’o’-
clock hour, our good friend
and presiding elder, Rev. R. C.
Goens. Bro, Goens gave ns a
splendid message, as he always
does, but we appreciated the
one Sunday even more than
usual, because he dedicated it
to the Caledonia church, using
as his subject; “The Place of
Children in the Program of
Christ”
The people of the Caledonia,
church have come to love Bro.
Goens during this past year
that he hr.s been our presiding
elder. He has been faithful to
the task committed unto him
alt over this district, and in
these days of doubt and unrest,
it means a great .deal to indi-
viduals and churches when
they find a man whom they
can trust And we have a
real friend in Bto. Goens.

Sometime ago Mrs. J. W.
Downs, secretary of the wom-
an’s department of the board
of missions for our church,
sent out a questionnaire to all
of the home workers, asking
about conditions in the various
fields, and whether or not we
felt the work was worthwhile.
This is her answer to our reply
to her letter: “The replies are
very interesting and full of en-
couragement. They make us
feel that those who are out in
the thick of the needs trying
to meet them are doing their
best and that results will
surely come, we are certain.”
It is a letter like this or
words of encouragement from
our friends^ , that.-v make us
strive harder than ever to car-
ry on. even when the way
looks dark.

more than the other. Then,

Corinth stood on a narrow isthmus fifty miles west of
Athens. Though inferior to Athens in intei'ectual attainment,
it was its equal in art, and its superior in commerce and
wealth. But its superb architecture formed a screen behind
which vice and corruption flourished. The wor-
ship of Venus, for example, was carried on
with gross immorality.
Into this pleasure-seeking community Paul
came after his discouraging reception in
Athens. Here he made his home with Aquilo
and Priscilla, tent-makers like himself, and
taught in the synagogue every Sabbath. In his
letters to the church at Corinth we find inter-
esting reminders of hi3 impressions of the city.
For instance, he doubtless visited the stadium.
There he witnessed a running race, watched
the placing of a garland upon the brow of the
winner, and enjoyed a boxing match. (I Cor. 9:24-27). Fur-
thermore, he noticed the long hair of effeminate ftr (I Cor.
11:14.)
But more important than these indications of varied „.itacta
ir. this crowded city is the kind of gospel Paul preached. At
Athens he had catered to his audience by an excursion into the
philosophy of religion, and a quotation from the Greek poets.
But in Corinth he resolved to preach id a direct, positive, heart-
to-heart fashion. “I determine,” he says, in the sentence
chosen for our Golden Text, “not to know any thing among
you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified-” It was no easy
task, for not only was the city full wickedness, but party
strife had broken out in the Utile church, as many 8S four
parties competing for precedence. (I Cor. 1:12.) No wonder
depression at spirit gripped him (I Cor. 2:3), but the Lord in
a reassuring vision, bade him persevere in his testimony. (Acta
18:9. 10.)
For many months the apostle labored in Corinth. Unbe-
lieving Jews stirred up a furious mob against him, but the pro-
consul Gallio was sensible enough to dismiss the case. When
Paul left Corinth, a comparatively strong church had been
established.
