Doctor Haley does not profess tlint Ills experiment proves bucIi a theory, but declares that ho believes ho has provided tlio basis for far-reaching biological research. Likewise ho Insists his experiment In no wlso Is of a "spiritualistic" na ture. "My own contribution Is simply to Bliow by photography that cryBtollza tlon or energy exists. Scientists may !go much further and possibly In time demonstrate that such crystallization of energy may bo made permanent In "stead of momentary, such ns my photographH show," Doctor Haley laid. "LIUowIro It may prove tlint 'ghosts' nre not supernatural, but simply a natural and material compound of ex ternalized energy. It Is certain tlint Bonio animals sec things not visible to humnn eyes. Likewise certain per Rons nro psychically sensitive to things which others arc not. There Is a great field for Investigation opened by my experiment." Thumb flff; Felt Pain.

For tho experiment tho stump wns placed on highly sen sitized paper In a photographic solu tlon. Four Impressions were taken ranging In tlmo from one-half to a minute and a half.

Paul's spirit was stirred within him when lie saw the city wholly given to Idolatry. II. The Parties Concerned (vv. 17 21). True to his usual custom Paul went Into the Jewish synagogue and entered Into earnest argument with the Jews. From them he turned to such as worn found lu the market place. Here lu came Into touch with the Kplcurean and Stoic philosophers.. The former were atheistic materialists. They de nied the doctrine of Creation. They -gave theiiwelves tip to sensual In dulgences since they had no Idea of future Judgment. The latter were pantheists. When tlicy heard the ipreachlng of Pauf they desired to know what new doctrine lie preached, so they Invited him to the Areopagus where he might speak to them of his new doctrine.

Ho did not accuse them of "superstition" ns the A. V. would make It. but as In the Am. It.-V. he Introduces his dis course In n courteous and conciliatory manner, stating that he perceived that they were very religious. This he ex plained by staling that as he was view ing their city he beheld an altar with an Inscription "To the Unknown God." Tills was his point of contact. He proceeds nt once to connect It with tlio Idea of the living God. implying that this altar had been erected to Illni. Ho was too wise to begin at once to denounce heaJI.etilHni and Idolatry. 2. The hotly of his discourse 2-i-ai). (VV. (1) A (vv. 21. declaration concerning 25). (a) He created God the material universe (v. 21). This was n direct blow nt the philosophy of both the Epicureans mid the Stoics. He did not attempt to prove the existence of God; It needs no proof. The lllblo everywhere assumes tho existence of n divine being, (b) Ills .splritunllty and Immensity (vv. 21, 2.")). lie Is not served with "men's hands as though lie needed anything," neither Is lie confined by any sort of religious temple.

Tills was a blow at the foolish Athen ian pride which supposed that they were superior to all other people. This proposition he proved from their own literature (see v. 2S). If men are the (ITsprlng of God nnd bear Ills like ness It Is utter folly to make Images ns the senseless Idols were, (b) Na tions have their placo by the sov ereign purpose of God (v. 20). Tho position nnd mission of ench nation Is of God's appointment, (e) Men should seek God (v. 20).

(d) Pressing obligation to repent (vv. 110, HI). This wns his supremo message. Though God had formerly passed over Idolatry Ho now calls to all men to repent. Tho solemn reason for such nction Is I lie coming day of Judgment, tho credent lol of which Is the resurrection of Jesus Christ from tho dead. The Judgment of God of an unbelieving world is as sure as this fact. Men will lie,Judgeil on the basis of their attitude toward Jesus Christ. IV. Result of Paul'o -Preaching vv. AMI). 1.
